Spider Man: No Way Home Review

I saw Spider Man: No Way Home in the movie theaters and am excited to be reviewing it for you!

Before we get into the review, I would like to warn you that this review HAS SPOILERS for Spider Man: No Way Home.

Spider Man: No Way Home starts off right where Spider Man: Far From Home leaves of with Mysterio revealing that Spider Man is Peter Parker.

Peter Parker then goes to see Doctor Strange and asks him if it is possible to do a spell where everyone forgets that Peter Parker is Spider Man. While Doctor Strange is working on the spell, Peter Parker messes everything up by saying that he still wants certain people to remember that he is Spider Man. This ruins the spell and creates the Multiverse of Madness.

I did really like seeing all three Spider Mans together in the movie. I think the other two Spider Mans brought a lot of comedy relief which was definitely needed.

I also liked seeing all the different villains from the other Spider Man movies and seeing things from their perspective. Most of the villains in this movie never wanted to become villains, just the evil parts of themselves took over.

I am going to be completely honest with you. This movie made me so sad. When Aunt May died, I cried. The saddest part for me was when Doctor Strange finally is able to do the spell where everyone forgets that Peter Parker is Spider Man. Everyone also forgets who Peter Parker is. Now, Peter Parker lives by himself and nobody knows him. Isn’t that so sad?!

I give Spider Man: No Way Home 4 Mickey Bars.

Sanaa Review

Sanaa is one of the restaurants located inside of Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge.

When we went to Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge in July, we went to Sanaa for the first time!

Sanaa is a very popular restaurant that serves African and Indian inspired dishes.

We first had the Indian-style Bread Service. That is five breads that come with many different types of sauces. Sanaa is known for its bread service, so when you eat at Sanaa, I would really recommend that you get the Indian-style Bread Service.

It was so good that we wanted more bread!

I had the African-inspired Biryani with Shrimp. This dish comes with vegetables, rice, and shrimp. I love shrimp, so I enjoyed this meal.

My dad had the African-inspired Biryani with Chicken. He thought it was really good.

My mom had the Samosas which are appetizers. She thought the Samosas were pretty good.

For dessert, I had the African Triple Chocolate Mousse. That is dark chocolate from Ghana, milk chocolate from Madagascar, Orelys Blond Chocolate, chocolate almond biscuits, and strawberries. It was DELICIOUS!

Al had the Pumbaa’s Dessert Grub. He thought his dessert tasted really good.

I give Sanaa 5 Mickey Bars!

50th Anniversary Treats!

A friend of ours just came back from Disney World and she gave us some 50th Anniversary popcorn!

The popcorn is many different colors and it tastes delicious! Some of the popcorn even has little pieces of candy on it.

I really like the packaging on the outside. It’s a nice blue color and has Mickey Mouse standing outside of Cinderella’s Castle. The top of the package has a golden ribbon.

We also received coffee. (The coffee is for my parents not me, but I still wanted to show you the festive box.)

I like the little Mickey Heads all over the box and I love how the popcorn and the coffee box both use the same colors, blue and gold.

While you are in Disney World, don’t forget to try some of the 50th Anniversary treats that are in the parks!

Columbia Harbor House Review

Columbia Harbor House reopened on August 5th and we were lucky enough to be at Columbia Harbor House the day it reopened!

Columbia Harbor House is a quick service restaurant that serves seafood. It was my first time eating there and I can’t wait to review it for you!

Here are some pictures from inside the restaurant:

We had the Lemonade Slushy. It was really refreshing!

I had the Grilled Shrimp Skewer that comes with rice and green beans. It was great! The shrimp had a nice flavor to them.

Al had the chicken strips that came with French fries from the kids menu. He really enjoyed his meal.

My parents had the Trio Platter. The Trio Platter is fried shrimp, chicken strips, fish, and hushpuppies. They loved their food!

For dessert, we had the Minnie Mouse Chocolate Lava Cookie. It was so GOOD! I loved how the cookie had a lot of chocolate in it.

I give Columbia Harbor House 5 Mickey Bars!

Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway Review

Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway is a ride located in Hollywood Studios that opened on March 4, 2020.

In August, I rode this ride for the very first time and I am going to be telling you all about it.

Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway is located in the Chinese Theater. The Chinese Theater is really pretty, so be sure to take pictures and look at all the different posters on the walls.

Before you start the ride, you watch a Mickey Short called Perfect Picnic. Goofy pops out off the screen and invites you to join him on a train trip. You spend the entire ride with Goofy on his train.

This ride also has A LOT of Hidden Mickeys, so be sure to keep on the look out!

I really enjoyed this ride, but my only complaint is that everything on this ride went by so fast that I was struggling to keep up.

Besides that, I really enjoyed this ride!

Is The Coconut Dole Whip Better Than The Classic Pineapple Dole Whip?

On my last trip to Disney World, we went to Aloha Isle Refreshments.

Aloha Isle Refreshments has a must get snack. Can you guess what it is? It’s the Dole Whip! Every time we go to Disney World, we always get the Pineapple Dole Whip. We bought it again this trip.

The Pineapple Dole Whip isn’t the only type of Dole Whip you can get. There are many different types of Dole Whips to choose from. We also got a Raspberry and Pineapple Dole Whip Swirl. It was really good! The Raspberry and the Pineapple go really well together.

I decided to try the Coconut Dole Whip because I LOVE coconut! The Coconut Dole Whip was delicious! If you love coconut like me, then this is your Dole Whip. You can taste the coconut in every bite.

I actually like the Coconut Dole Whip more than the Pineapple Dole Whip. I know what your thinking. How?! I actually do not like Pineapple, so that is why I like the Coconut Dole Whip better.

The Mara Review

The Mara is a restaurant in Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge. I went to The Mara for the first time back in July and can’t wait to tell you all about it!

The Mara has indoor seating…

…and outdoor seating.

We decided to sit outside since the weather was nice. I had the Tamarind Pulled Pork Sandwich. It comes with coleslaw (on the side) and French fries. It was delicious! If you like Pulled Pork Sandwiches, you should definitely get this.

Here is a closer picture of the coleslaw.

My mom and dad shared the Braai Chicken Flatbread. The Braai Flatbread has sun-dried tomatoes, pesto, pieces of chicken, bacon, red onion, mozzarella, and Saag Dahl Ranch drizzle. They said that they really liked all the different flavors in the flatbread.

Al had the Cheeseburger from the kids’ menu.

Zebra Domes are very well know so we decided to try them. The Zebra Domes were absolutely delicious! When you go to The Mara, you should try these!

I give The Mara 5 Mickey Bars!

Here are some additional pictures from The Mara:

Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge

In July, we stayed at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge and I can’t wait to tell you all about it!

At Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, there are two separate villages that you can stay in: the Jambo House and Kidani Village. We stayed at Kidani Village.

What is really nice about the Animal Kingdom Lodge is that it is really close to Animal Kingdom. That can help you get to the parks earlier and let you do more rides!

Here are some pictures of the lobby at Kidani Village.

Here are some pictures of the lobby at Jambo House.

Animal Kingdom Lodge has four restaurants. The Mara, Sanaa, Jiko, and Boma. Update: Jiko is currently closed. We went to The Mara and Sanaa. I will review these restaurants in different blog articles, so keep on the look out!

Here are some pictures from the room we stayed in.

At Animal Kingdom Lodge, you can see animals from your balcony!

I think you should definitely stay at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge!

Look At These Disney Themed Board Games!

When you are in Disney World, there are always interesting merchandise you can buy in different stores!

After you finish riding Dinosaur in Animal Kingdom, there is a gift store that you walk into. The gift store had many Disney themed board games!

First, we have the Game of Life, except it’s Disney!

You can also play a Disney Parks Monopoly.

Are you a fan of the Jungle Cruise ride in Magic Kingdom? If so, you will want this board game!

This Candyland is Disney Theme Park Edition.

I love the board game Clue, so I found this version of Clue very interesting.

We also have a theme park version of Perfection!

At Mouse Gear, I found a Disney Themed Uno!

These Dominoes have hidden Mickey’s.

Those are all the Disney themed board games I found while in Disney World. If you are going to Disney World soon, be sure to check out the stores because you will always find something interesting!
