Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railroad opened today, March 4, 2020 in Hollywood Studios.

This attraction is in the Chinese Theater. This ride is a BIG deal because this is Mickey and Minnie’s first attraction!

I will tell you a little more about the ride. First, when you walk inside the Chinese Theater you are going to see Mickey’s newest short, Perfect Picnic. Then, Goofy pops out off the screen and invites you to join him on a train trip. Along the way you will meet a new character named Chuuby who is destined to be a fan favorite.

Keep a look out for Hidden Mickeys! Micky and Minnie’s Runaway Railway has the largest collection of hidden Mickeys in the whole WORLD!!

I hope you enjoy this ride!

A Beginner’s Guide to the 2020 Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival

This year the 2020 Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival will be from March 4-June 1, 2020.

Last year I wrote about the 2019 Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival and it is that time of year again! If you are going to Disney World during these dates then you will be seeing some amazing gardening work that makes the plants look like Disney characters!!

Of course new characters will be making an appearance! Remy will be the centerpiece for a brand new Ratatouille Garden in the France pavilion.

The France pavilion.

Every night you will see new and classic music artists performing during the Garden Rocks Concert Series.

Pooh Bear says hello!

Also, don’t forget to go to the Butterfly House located between the Imagination! pavilion and Soarin’ Around the World. All the butterflies are native only to Central Florida in case some escape and they will not endanger themselves or other natives.

I hope you will get to see the Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival because it is really cool to see.

Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy Review

Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy opened in March of 2019 so we went on it for the first time in August.

Lightning McQueen teaching.

Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy is an indoor show where Lightning McQueen teaches you how to be a race car driver.

There is a twist though. Want to find out what the twist is? You will have to go to Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy to find out!

What do you think is the right answer?

The show is super fun and everyone in the family will enjoy this ride. Tip: if it’s raining outside then you should definitely do this show since you will be out of the rain, but it WILL be crowded.

The only complaint I have is when we went it was really crowded and there was a long line.

Be prepared to wait in line since Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy is new!

Beaver Butt Soap, Dog Team Drool Soap, and more at Trading Post Refreshments

In August I went to Trading Post Refreshments in the Canada pavilion and you will not believe what I found!

Soap!!!! It isn’t just the same soap you find at the store though. The first soap I found was Beaver Butt soap. Yes, you heard me correctly, I said BEAVER BUTT!!!!!!!!!

This soap says, “there is no dam beaver in this soap.”

I also found Dog Team Drool soap and Dinosaur Dung soap.

It says on the soap, “there are no actual dogs or drool in this soap”. The blue soap says, “there is no dino or dung in this soap.”

The next one is Badger Barff soap. Who thought of these names?

The soap says, “there is no badger or barff used in this soap.”

Sasquatch Sweat soap?!? Okay…..

It says, “guaranteed not to grow hair.”

I found two more weird soaps! The names are Moose Spit soap and Ferret Farts soap.

The Moose Spit soap says, “There is no actual moose spit in this soap.” The Ferret Fart soap says, “Bet you didn’t think they smelled this good.”

These soaps are all from the Great Mountain Soap Company. Now the real question is, would you buy these soaps?

Spice Road Table Review

Spice Road Table is in the Morocco pavilion. I went there back in August. Spice Road Table is one of my dad’s favorite restaurants in Disney World! You can sit either outside or inside. We always sit outside because you have a great view of the World Showcase lagoon.

We ate the Hummus and Imported Olives. It came with cornichons and za’atar pita bread. My dad loved it!

I had the Mix Grill Skewers on the adult menu. That is marinated beef and chicken, with garlic and fresh herbs with rosemary roasted potatoes. I always get this because it is so good!

My dad had the Lamb Sliders with hummus fries. We have been to Spice Road Table a few other times and he always gets the Lamb Sliders with hummus fries. It is one of his favorite meals in Disney World.

My brother had the chicken nuggets and french fries from the kids menu.

I give Spice Road Table 5 Mickey Bars!!! This restaurant is awesome!

Flame Tree Barbecue Review

Flame Tree Barbecue is in Animal Kingdom. The seating is all outdoors next to a pond with animals.

Yes, animals!

A scary thing actually happened to us 4 years ago. We were sitting outside next to the pond and this large animal walked up to our table and stared directly at me!

The bird staring me down!

Then he ate my brother’s french fries! He then apparently was in the mood for a pulled pork sandwich because he jumped on the table and ate my dad’s pulled pork sandwich!

The bird noticing my dad’s pulled pork sandwich!

My dad told the people that worked at Flame Tree Barbecue that a bird had eaten his pulled pork sandwich so they gave him another pulled pork sandwich.

Now, back in August, we had the courage to go back to Flame Tree Barbecue.

I had the Smoked Pulled Pork Sandwich. It was really good and I would recommend getting it. The Pulled Pork Sandwich comes with cole slaw so I asked not to have it on my sandwich. It came with beans but I did not eat them because I don’t like beans.

Looking at it makes me hungry!

My dad also ate the Pulled Pork Sandwich but his had cole slaw.

My mom ate the 1/2 chicken with cole slaw and beans.

My brother had a hot dog from the kid’s menu. (The kid’s menu is for kids 9 and under.)

I give Flame Tree Barbecue 5 Mickey Bars!!!! A bird didn’t take our food!!!

Izzy’s Must Do Activities at Disney World! Pin Trading Edition

I know it has been a long time since I have done my must do activities at Disney World but this one is so much fun I just had to tell you about it!

Pin Trading is super fun and a great way for you to be interactive at Disney World. First you get a Pin Trading lanyard and buy some pins. You can also buy a lanyard that already comes with pins.

This was my pin trading lanyard.

Here is a tip: buy some pins you don’t like. This will help you with your trade! Now, find a cast member with a lanyard and trade a pin with them. It’s that easy! You can also buy birthday pins or special edition pins as well. UniversalwithIzzy: Universal Studios has also started selling pins.

Now here is the problem about pin trading: the pins always fall of the lanyard because they are not very secure with the backings. I have lost many pins because they just fall off while your wearing them. Finally I have found a solution! It is called PinFolio!

The outside of the PinFolio bag!

PinFolio is a tiny bag that you can put your pins in by pushing them in. The bag zips up too so your pins won’t fall off!

You simply push the pins in!

If you are thinking about doing pin trading or have a lanyard filled with pins then PinFolio is a must get!

The second page for pins!

I bought it on Amazon. Here is a link to the PinFolio bag: PinFolio.

The pin backs go in this pocket.

I hope you consider doing pin trading because it is so much fun and they have so many cool pins you can choose from!
