Today’s visual challenge is rather playful and will likely bring out the child in you. Can you guess the location of these “toys”?
Scroll down to find the answer.
If you guessed Andy’s Room aboard the Disney Magic, you are absolutely right! This multi-level youth space in Disney’s Oceaneer Club, brings the stars of the Disney-Pixar “Toy Story” film trilogy to life.
Kids ages 3 to 12 experience the feeling of being toy-sized as they step into a larger-than-life version of Andy’s room and interact with his toys. Little cruisers can craft their own Mr. Potato Head creation and put larger-than-life sized coins in the “Toy Story” piggy bank, Hamm. Or they can climb the stairs to the top of Andy’s bed and take the super-fun Slinky Dog slide back down.
Young “recruits” can join Corporal Green and the Green Army Soldiers for a fun-filled toy tour of duty during Toy Story Boot Camp while little cowgirls and cowboys can dance at a hoedown with Woody or join Jessie for a scavenger hunt.

On Friday, August 21, popular athletic brand, lululemon celebrated their grand opening at Disney Springs! Founded in Vancouver, Canada in 1998, lululemon is a yoga-inspired, technical athletic apparel company for women and men. Although the store is filled with merchandise to help you get your sweat on, lululemon’s stores aspire to also create a community hub where people can learn and discuss the physical aspects of healthy living, mindfulness and living a life of possibility.
What makes lululemon’s collections so unique? They offer lightweight, breathable, and seam-free styles all packed with technical extras that help you reach your full potential. You’ll also find it’s the perfect one-stop shop for functional and stylish items like bags, gloves, hats, water bottles, yoga blocks, mats and everything needed to move through your day.
The new store at Disney Springs is over 3,000 square feet with interactive digital fixtures that feature new product offerings, services and information from the local lululemon community including their 5 global ambassadors: Nick Foles, Jasmine Blocker, Charlie Dark, Lydia Ko, and Gabby Bernstein.
You’ll find lululemon in the heart of Disney Springs Town Center just around the corner from L’Occitane en Provence. Looking to stay engaged and connected to the Orlando lululemon community? Be sure to follow their Facebook page @lululemonOrlando and @lululemon on Instagram and Twitter for the latest news on new collections and inspiration for your health and wellness journey.

With the 2020 Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival in full swing, I thought I would share some of my favorite dishes from this year’s festival marketplaces! This festival celebrates the best of global food and drink across six continents with authentic ingredients, cooking techniques, and presentations so it was a challenge to narrow them down to just a handful of top tastes.
Our chefs have done a fabulous job of creating a diverse menu of offerings at each marketplace with mouthwatering savories, delectable sweets, plant-based options, gluten/wheat-friendly options, and more! This list is just a quick peek at a few of my personal favorites. I also have a special recipe the whole family can enjoy – Gourmet Macaroni and Cheese from the Mac & Cheese Marketplace Hosted by Boursin® Cheese located in World Showplace. This special dish is made with Boursin® Garlic & Fine Herbs Cheese and topped with herb panko, YUM!
