September is here and that means fall races are in full swing. This past weekend I ran our local Harvest Festival 5k Race. I always look forward to this race every year.

Why the Hyatt Regency in Sarasota, Florida is a great choice!
Over the summer my mom, my sister, and I took a trip to Sarasota, Florida. I had never been to Sarasota before so I was not familiar with the area. We had marked out a few things we wanted to see and do while in Sarasota and then that determined where we chose to stay.
I am a true believer that where you stay on vacation can really help enhance your experience. We never skimp on hotels with the thought "I only need it for a place to sleep". You want to really enjoy where you are staying.
Our Weekend in Sarasota
Disney may be our favorite place in Florida, but we do travel to other parts of the state as well. We recently spent a long weekend in Sarasota and we definitely packed a lot in.
Here are the highlights of our four day trip.

Foot Golf at Disney's Oak Trail Golf Course
One of our favorite things to do at Disney World is finding things outside of the parks to do. For a while now we've been wanting to try Foot Golf at one of the Disney Golf courses.

Four days in Lisbon, Portugal
This year I had an opportunity to travel abroad with another flight attendant friend and we chose to visit Lisbon, Portugal. We were only there for 4 days, but that was just the perfect amount of time to see and do everything we wanted to. Here is how we spent our days.

Savor the Savanna tour at Disney's Animal Kingdom
We finally did one of the behind the scenes tours. I've always been conflicted with those tours because I never wanted to risk "ruining the magic". I bet the Keys to the Kingdom tour is amazing, but I haven't had the heart to do it yet!
I really love Disney's Animal Kingdom and thought the Savor the Savanna tour would be perfect!

4th of July 5K
I try to run our local 4th of July 5k every year. It is usually so hot and so humid and this year was no exception. However, they did move the start time up to 8 am instead of 9 am like it had been in the past!

Should you ride TRON?
Are you excited to go "off the grid" and ride Disney's newest coater in the Magic Kingdom?
Although I've rode all Disney's other coasters, Space Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain, Seven dwarves mine train, Rock n Roller coaster, and Expedition Everest, I am proclaiming that I am not a roller coaster person. I think my dislike has grown as I got older.

Things to love about Port Orleans French Quarter
It's been a while since we've stayed at Port Orleans French Quarter ( like over a decade), so we thought it was time to check it out again. We remembered liking this resort last time we stayed here and knew the rooms had been renovated since then.

Yak & Yeti Restaurant at Disney's Animal Kingdom
Our "Go To" restaurant in Disney's Animal Kingdom is usually Rainforest Cafe, but this last visit we decided to try some place different. We decided on Yak & Yeti, the table service restaurant. There is also a Yak & Yeti quick service option next door.

Disney's Castaway Cay 5k : then and now
It's been a while since we ran a Disney race. In fact, since 2020, we haven't been running many races in general. In 2021 I was registered for Wine and Dine weekend, but that didn't happen. You can read how Disney handled that HERE.

Disney Cruise- The Wish Day 3
Today was our Castaway Cay day! Castaway Cay is Disney's private island and this is the day that we were most excited for. I walked out on to our veranda around 7:25 am and we were slowly approaching the port. We were told that after the ship was secured at port and was cleared for cast members to get off ( to go set things up on the island), it would be at least an additional hour before guests would be able to get off the ship.

Disney Cruise- The Wish- Day 2
Today we woke up in Nassau, Bahamas. My sister and I have both been to Nassau many times before on previous cruises so we had already planned to just stay on the ship for the day. It was a good thing we weren't planning on getting off because it was raining on and off all day. We seemed to have had pretty rough water the night before.

Disney Cruise -The Wish- Day 1
Our first day of our Disney cruise actually started at Disney World. We had stayed at the Disney Beach Club and that is where we were meeting our bus to take us to the port. There were several other guests who were either staying at Beach Club, Yacht Club or Swan and Dolphin meeting there too. There was a cruise representative there to give us directions and make sure we had all the documents we needed to board.

Disney's Festival of the Arts at Epcot
The Festival of the Arts at Epcot is one of the shortest festivals at Disney. It runs from January 13 to February 20. In the past, we've always visited in January for Marathon weekend ( which is before January 13) and then again for Princess Half Marathon weekend ( which is after February 20). Fortunately, we were finally able to make one of our visits work during this time frame. This was our first visit to Festival of the Arts and I know why people love it so much. It just might be my favorite festival.
Come along with us as we share how we spent our time at Disney's Festival of the Arts.

So grab a cup of coffee and let's talk.

Play the Disney Skyliner Scavenger Hunt
If you are looking for something to do outside of the Disney Parks, let us suggest the Skyliner Scavenger Hunt. This hunt is most convenient if you are staying at one of the Disney resorts that has access to the skyliner. Those resorts would be Riviera, Caribbean Beach, Art of Animation, Pop Century, Yacht and Beach Club, and Boardwalk.
