Best Birthday Ever & A Permanent Souvenir ?!
THIS VIDEO:
Happy Birthday to James!
It’s January 5th - it’s the (kind of) last day of our Holiday trip, and it’s James’ birthday! The big, pre-booked plan of the day was breakfast at Topolino’s Terrace - but other than that, James said that he wanted to just see where the day took him, and ideally, spend the day with friends… so that’s exactly what we did!
Our day started out with the most amazing breakfast at Topolino’s Terrace. We always have so much fun with Donald, Daisy, Mickey and Minnie. They all signed a birthday card for James, and we had so much fun with all the characters there!
After breakfast, we headed out to meet our friends Daina, Mark and Arielle for a round of mini golf at Winter Summerland! This was our first time ever mini-golfing at Disney, and we had so much fun! (Actually, now that I think about it, I think that was our first time ever mini golfing together throughout our entire relationship!). This course was SO cute, and we both agreed that we would definitely come back and do this again!
Next, we headed over to Coronado Springs. This is where James and I were staying on this trip, and the gang also wanted to grab a quick bite - so we all headed for Rix Sports Bar. I was hoping to get the chicken and waffle dippers, but I learned that they only serve these at breakfast. I did, however, get the iced churro latte, which was absolutely delicious. We then parted ways for a bit of a rest, until we reconvened later in the evening.
That night, we had such a great time hanging out at Coronado Springs, just chatting, laughing and playing games with our friends. Daina, Mark and Arielle came back, and we were also joined by Daniel, Melissa and Kristina. We had such a great night, and it was absolutely the best choice for a birthday celebration - it turned out to be maybe our favourite Disney night ever!
The next day, we were supposed to begin the long trek back home - however, the weather had some other plans. We ended up extending our trip one extra night, to try to avoid some bad storms on the drive. This was all decided the night before, while we were hanging out with friends, and also on the phone with our travel agent for the trip, Katie ( 2plus3travelers) trying to figure out the best plan. In the midst of Cate figuring out accommodations, James was making plans of his own… and that’s how we ended up with a tattoo appointment! Be sure to stay tuned for our new ink!
We wrapped up our *actual* last night there in Disney Springs with friends. It was the perfect ending to an amazing trip.

ABOUT US:
My name is Cate, and joining me is my husband James! We are from Toronto, Canada, where we live with our two cats, Manny and Tilly. We are childfree “elder millennials” who just love having fun together and filming our adventures. We decided to start this Vlog, mostly because of me! I (Cate) have a bachelor’s degree in Radio & TV, and worked in TV for 10+ years before switching fields - and I was looking for a way to explore my creative interests in filming and editing, but in a fun/not career focused way, and we came up with this channel! It’s now become a super fun way for us to connect with each other - and we would love to connect with all of you out there as well!

On a sunny day in April, James and I hopped into the car and drove to Hamilton, Ontario for the Spring Disney Pins & Collectables show & sales event, put on by the Canadian Disney Fans - Ontario group on Facebook!

The Boathouse: A Hidden Gem at Disney Springs

On a recent visit to Walt Disney World, we decided that it was an absolute priority to have dinner at The Boathouse at Disney Springs. This is a place that we’ve been wanting to try forever, but just haven’t been able to work it into our schedule. I have been mildly obsessed with the Duck Duck Razz drink ever since I first saw a picture of it, and lobster rolls are one of my favourite food - so...

bro like
Pretty sure the refurbed 5th sleepers have a little mermaid theme and the only area right now are in the Trinidad section
Wow every 3 hours for stops
In many states the lack of lights on the road is to prevent light pollution. You will notice near interchanges, rest stops and many on and off ramps there are lights to assist with merging traffic. Also unlike southern Canada where most of the population is concentrated in a small area, the US is massive with thousands of miles of roadways. Can you imagine the cost to put lights along every road. I imagine major highways in large stretches of Alberta and Saskatchewan do not have highway lights either.
SIngle people don't clebrate their birthdays. I get to cover my co-workers shifts instead. They have family so I HAVE TO WORK.
I'm really sorry that's been your experience. Personally, whether in a stage where I'm single or I'm taken, I try to book my birthday off work every year 😅
What a cute mini, putt golf ⛳️
It's such a cute course!
Miss yall on instagram hopefully I will go back soon. My was not feeling last two weeks. She doing better now 🙌🙌🙌 love you guys!
Ahh glad everyone is feeling better!! Catch you on Insta!! 💖
Happy Birthday 🎁🎉🎈🎂
Thank you!!
My new favorite ride!
Aww I wish I could’ve have seen Alice!!
So many Kristina’s in the Disney community 😂 something in the name I guess 😅
Hehe, Disney and Kristina go hand in hand!
we loved the video!!
Thanks so much!!
Great video! ;)
Thank you! It was such an awesome concert!
So fun! You have convinced me to check out Toledo, it looked so good!
Omg you’ll love it! It’s delicious!
Forever love Soarin’ over California. The OG is the best. Journey of water is so pretty at night. Really need to make that a priority to see next time. Wow the dessert from Toledo (and the view) looks incredible. Great video you guys 😊
Thank you so much Jen! In retrospect, I do think I like Soarin over the world just slightly better, mostly because I don’t know a lot of the California locations, but I’m so glad I got to see that one! And the smells are incredible!
I want to go to an event like this!
I wonder if anyone organizes anything like this in your area! Have a look for some Facebook groups - you never know what you’ll find!
The strawberry shortcake that was so cute!!!!
She was amazing!
That pumpkin cheesecake 😍😍
Right!!!! I'm not sure if it's a seasonal item, so you may have to wait until fall-winter to get your hands on it!
Thank you for sharing this. I’ve always seen it next time that’s gonna be my pitstop for my family the lobster sandwich really look good
Yay!! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I hope you enjoy the food too, when you make it out there! :)
What a great show!🎉🎉
Yes it was! We had a blast!!
What an awesome event!! I would be spending way too much money here LOL. Cool vintage stuff too. Love seeing all the tables and merch available. The Han and Luke collector is so cool!! The Darth Mr. Potato Head is adorable - love the dust lol! The mystery bags are fun. Fantastic video you guys :)
It was such a fun event! We went back for the summer event a couple of weekends ago and it was another fantastic experience! Everyone is so kind, and there’s always so much fun stuff to see!
Great video! To me you provided the right amount of information, not too much fluff like other channels nor did you repeat the same one or two points over and over. While you also showed everything someone could reasonable be looking for in a Disney hotel video!
Thank you so much! We really appreciate that feedback! Glad the video was helpful :)
Love this outfit on Mickey!
He’s just adorable! 🥰
I love Boathouse! I used to go there every trip but haven't in while as we were going so much! The ducky drink looks so cute, I always wanted to try it. Your food looks sooo good - that lobster roll YUM!
I love having traditions like that... and Boathouse would be a great one! Time to go back ;) hehe
I had no idea this existed! I have requested to join the group on FB. Thanks for the video! Great info.
Welcome to the group! The events are awesome - they happen in Hamilton and Oshawa, a few times a year, and there are always treasures to be found!
This is amazing! I’d love to find an event like this by me! This event is legitimate!
It is! We're super lucky to have something like this relatively close-by!
Great show! I was there, still thinking it about days later.
YES!! Such a good show! I wish IME had played a longer set though ;)
@@ever.after.adventures i never seen IME live before, they were great too!
@@TheTechLoft agreed!! They’re awesome!
"Creeper" 🤣 It was so nice to finally meeting you in person! I love these events. It's overwhelming how much stuff there is to look at. Cakeworthy is such a great store. They have some decent sales sometimes too. Love that you got the Star Wars figurines. Okay I definitely missed out on the earrings!! The Haunted Mansion dress is awesome!! And we got the same shirt woohoo!
It was awesome to meet you in person! Love that we're shirt twinsies! I'm excited to check out the Cakeworthy sale this weekend... not sure how early we'll get there though, so hopefully it's not all gone by the time we arrive lol.
Boathouse is one of the best meals I've had on property. The oysters were incredible and they have a great beer selection too! Would definitely go back because now I need to try the Duck duck Razz.
I definitely want to go back here and try SO much more! But definitely also want to get the Duck Duck Razz again!
Drive a gas car next time 😢
Why?
@@ever.after.adventures I'm actually on my family vacation right now I drove from Brooklyn New York to Indian shores Clearwater Beach in my 2015 Honda Odyssey I left New York at 6:00 in the morning and I reached the Florida welcome center by 12:30 at night
@@shadowpeople5771that’s great that you enjoy it that way… to me, that reminds me of trips when I was a kid, where the objective was to get there as fast as possible. If I wanted to do that, I’d fly down. We really enjoy the journey and exploring, meeting new people, trying new food, etc. To each their own!
I too was impressed with the coordinated line dancing! I see these songs played at weddings all the time and I’ve never seen dances for these songs. We also order lobster rolls whenever we see them! But our reason is because we see them so infrequently and we are excited to eat them on the rare occasion that we can.
For real - how do people always know how to do these dances?! lol. I looooooooove a good lobster roll, and will almost always order it if I see it on the menu!
I like the Ny Strip & fries and hubs recommends the calamari
We will have to add those to the list, thanks for the recommendations!
Do you prefer the I75 Detroit route vs the Pittsburgh route you took on the way back?
We definitely prefer the Pittsburgh route when the weather is nice! It’s so much more scenic, and it’s really fun to drive those winding roads through the mountains! I75 is nice because it’s a straight-shot, and there are lots of places to stop overnight - but we do find the drive a little bit more boring. Have you driven both and do you have a preference?
@@ever.after.adventures I’ve only done the drive one way on the i75 from Toronto or Naples, then flew back. Our next trip to Naples will be i75 south but will do the mountain route back to Toronto to switch it up and make the trip home more exciting,! Thanks 😊 Love your videos!
Animal kingdom is one of my favorites! I make sure to spend a full day if I can haha. I’m obsessed with Everest but Greg hates it 😂 aweee chip and dale in their Dino outfits are way too cute! Love their close up 😂 nomad lounge is great. AK is so nice in the evening. Looks like a great time! Such a beautiful park 😊💕 ps- poor dinosaur needs some love, I think that rides been neglected maintenance wise 😂
It’s definitely climbed up in our park rankings now that we’ve spent a lot more time there! You can come ride Everest with us next time 😉 Chip and Dale in their Dino costumes are just the cutest and I am officially obsessed 🤩 Thanks so much for watching and commenting!!
I love Three Bridges! Such a great spot
It’s so relaxing and has the prettiest views!
I can’t believe you never been on Dinosaur! Dr. Seeker may be dated but is one of the best parts of the ride 😂
Haha right! I have the oddest list of things I’ve never done at Disney, and really must start checking some of those things off my list!
Loving your Animal Kingdom day and all the after dark experiences. Definitely adding this to my 'must-do' list for our trip in early March. Thank you so much for taking us along on your adventures!
Ahh yay! I’m so glad you enjoyed it, and I’m so excited to see what you get up to on your adventure!!
That wait time for FOP - yikes! Can totally relate to the heart racing before getting on Everest. Especially being at the very back. I would’ve asked to wait for a different spot. OMG CHIP & DALE 😍 They are so fun! Super jealous of nomad lounge. The drinks and food look delish. Everyone says the churros there are the best. Ah! A bee 🐝 So glad it didn’t sting you! I would’ve been freaking out for sure. First time riding Dinosaur?! Just in time before they get rid of it. Not sure I’d describe it as comfortable 😂 I did not know about the Chip & Dale Dino plushies!!! Pandora at night is such a vibe. Definitely worth staying until park close after sunset just for that. Wow what a great day at AK!
It really was just such a wonderful day! My heart typically races before all roller coasters, but I still come away enjoying (most of) them lol. There are a few I won’t ride. Nomad Lounge is amazing - I need to get back there again! I’m kinda sad that it took us so long to explore Dinoland, and now it’s going away… but I’m so happy to have these memories! Chip and Dale are just the cutest, and it makes me so happy looking at the plushies on our shelves! Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
The Nomad Churros are AMAZING!
They really are!!
capturing all the reasons why we want that back row! It was an absolute delight to meet you both!!!! Cannot wait to see you again and hang out!
100% agree! I hope we get to spend more time together in the future! Had so much fun with you and your family!
Correction on timeline 3:08 - when the visibility is extremely low due to the fog, snow or heavy rain you are supposed to slow down and turn on your hazards and keep them on until visibility is back.
Thank you! We will give it a shot. It’s just funny whenever we talk to any Florida locals, they always say that whenever they see hazards in heavy rain, they immediately think tourist and get annoyed.
What a cool place!
It’s so beautiful here!! The views are incredible!
Oh my gosh, my sister and I need that bag
Add it to the list!!! 😍😂
Aww your fur babies are so cut! They’re like mom dad where are you going?😂
Hehe they get so sad when we leave them, but they’re always so excited when we get home!
What a beautiful resort that’s my goal is to stay at that place one day lol
Oohhh me too! It’s definitely high up on the list ever since I spent this time exploring it a little more in depth!
Love the video!
Thank you!! 😊
Love the back pack
Thanks so much!!
This so cool! That y’all got to meet up 🥰🥰
It was a lot of fun spending time with friends in such an amazing city!
My favorite place!!
It’s amazing in there!!
