Sushi Sunday Pt. 2

Sushi Sunday Pt. 2

My family and I LOVE sushi and when I say we love it, I mean we really really love it!! So when it comes to Disney we pretty much know where we can go to get our fix of it. Here are some of our favorite places to get this yummy Japanese dish.

The first place we are going to talk about is Tokyo Dining in the Japan pavilion at EPCOT. Now Tokyo Dining does require reservations, so make sure you have reservations if you decide to eat here!! Okay at this restaurant there is no shortage of sushi. They have over 20 different options you can choose from. One of my personal favorites is the Combination – Matsu, if you’d like to know more about that you can check out my last post. Another aspect of this restaurant I absolutely adore is the ambience of it. Tokyo Dining has a sleek look about it and is very modern.

Next up is a hidden gem that often gets over looked in my opinion. I say that because my family and I have been to Disney World roughly nine times and until recently know what it was. Turns out it’s a nice little quick service restaurant called Katsura Grill and it is also in the Japan pavilion is EPCOT! Now unlike Tokyo Dining you don’t need reservations in order to eat here which is amazing! The only thing is, is that they only have four things on their sushi menu, but what they do have is excellent! I’d also recommend that if you do go here try some of the other things on the menu, but we’ll get into that another day.

Another one of our favorite places to get this tasty treat is at Sunshine Seasons in the Land pavilion at EPCOT. Now I know this doesn’t seem like the most obvious place to get sushi, but trust me if you love sushi just as much as we do then you’ll adore the fact that you can get it here. Plus you don’t have to make the trek all the way back to the Japan pavilion just to get you some, you’re welcome! Anyway just like Katsura Grill you don’t need reservations to eat here and they don’t have many options on the sushi menu, just the basics: California Roll, Spicy Roll and Vegetable Roll, but they are really good!

The last place on this list is 1900 Park Fare at the Grand Floridian Resort which is near the Magic Kingdom. One thing you should know about 1900 is that 1. It does require reservations and 2. It is a character meal. What is a character meal you ask? Well what that means it that there are certain Disney characters at this particular restaurant Cinderella, her stepsisters (Anastasia & Drizella), Lady Tremaine and Prince Charming (swoon) are walking around and will stop at your table to chat, take pictures and sign autograph books as you dine. One other thing this is a buffet and the food here is excellent and the assorted sushi is delicious!

There are other places on Walt Disney World property to get sushi, but we have yet to try them all. When we do try them though I will be sure to write up a review and let you guys know how it is and if the places live up to all the hype! So until then keep on eating weird and uncooked fish!

One little spark, of inspiration Is at the heart, of all creation. Right at the start, of everything that’s new. One little spark, lights up for you. Two tiny wings, eyes big and yellow. Horn of a steer, but a lovable fellow. From head to tail, he’s royal purple pigment. And there, Viola!, you’ve got a Figment! We all have sparks, imaginations. That’s how our minds, create creations. For they can make, our wildest dreams come true. Those magic sparks, in me and you. Imagination, imagination. A dream, can be a dream come true. With just that spark, in me and you.

Neverland Beanie Whosits and Whatsits

If you love Peter Pan as much as I do, then you will love this item I got from Whosits and Whatsits!! This is the Neverland Beanie and it is my go to when I'm having a bad hair day or if I want to do a Peter Pan inspired Disney Bound for the day.  

Okay so on my last visit to Walt Disney World I wore this to the Magic Kingdom and I got so many compliments on it! The best thing that happened that day was when I was sat on the curb watching Festival of Fantasy Parade and the float that carried Peter, Wendy, Smee, Hook and Tink went by. Wendy instantly noticed me wearing the Neverland beanie and started waving and attempted to get Peter's attention to show him, but she had no luck. While Peter might not have notice my hat Captain Hook sure did and honestly it's true, actions do speak louder than words because he took one look at me saw the beanie and slid his hook across his throat, then pointed to me......YIKES, but I wasn't afraid of him so I gave him a look and did it right back to him! Needless to say, that was one of my favorite character interactions I had on my entire trip!! Even though I couldn't interact more with him, it was still a highlight and something I'll never forget. So thank you whositswhatsits for creating a magical experience!

You seriously win every award for this costume!! Such an iconic part of Spaceship Earth and you freaking NAILED IT!!!!

I was literally the birthday belle of MNSSHP! Literally from the second I entered everyone was freaking over my costume! I got stopped so much for pics and I even got mobbed at the circus haha! They gave me a best costume button and I just had to take a photo with them! They made me an honorary member of the circus too! I did not expect the praise and reactions I got from my costume but I’m so happy! It was literally the best birthday I have had in a long time.
