Memes


Disney memes are so fun.  Lissa is good to send us some from time to time.  Here are a few of the best ones:






Shifting gears, here, let's talk about Downtown Disney.  They have a place called Black Tap Craft Burgers and Shakes. The burgers are gourmet. The shakes are #Instaworthy. They are not cheap! the price of one gets you two or three somewhere else, but nobody is ever surprised at the prices.  Everything Disney is expensive. The surprise might be with the Disney workers who are shocked to see that regular people like us would pay that much money for a burger!



Okay, let's shift gears once again.  Beignet time!  Let's see: sweetened dough that is deep fried?  Yes, please!


Disneyland's beignets are a beloved, powdered-sugar-covered treat that brings a taste of New Orleans to the park. Here's a breakdown of what makes them special:

  1. Ingredients and Base: Beignets are deep-fried pastries made from a simple dough of flour, sugar, yeast, and milk. After frying, they are generously dusted with powdered sugar, giving them their classic sweet, airy texture.


  2. Varieties and Flavors: While the classic beignets are plain with powdered sugar, Disneyland also offers seasonal varieties throughout the year. These might include flavors like pumpkin spice during Halloween or peppermint during the holiday season, which come with flavored powdered sugar or fillings to match the season.


  3. Location and Availability: The most popular place to find Disneyland’s beignets is at Café Orleans and the Mint Julep Bar, both located in New Orleans Square. The Mint Julep Bar is especially known for its fresh, warm, Mickey-shaped beignets that add an extra layer of Disney magic to the experience.


  4. Presentation: Beignets are served fresh from the fryer in small paper bags or baskets. The classic Mickey-shaped beignets are often served in orders of 3 or 6, making them perfect for sharing with friends or family. The bag they come in allows guests to shake them up, coating the beignets more evenly with powdered sugar.


  5. Taste and Texture: The texture of Disneyland’s beignets is light and fluffy on the inside, with a slightly crispy exterior. The powdered sugar adds a delightful sweetness that complements the dough. Seasonal versions often have subtle flavor enhancements that still keep the texture light and airy.

  6. Dipping Options: While beignets are typically served plain, Café Orleans sometimes offers dipping sauces such as raspberry or chocolate, adding an extra layer of sweetness and customization to the experience.

  7. Portion Size and Serving: Beignets are generally served in sets of 3 or 6, depending on where they are purchased. Guests often enjoy sharing these treats, but the smaller portions make them manageable for an individual snack as well.

  8. Price Range: The price for a serving of beignets typically ranges from $5 to $10, depending on the portion size and location. Seasonal varieties or those served with sauces may be priced slightly higher.

  9. Nutritional Information: Beignets are a rich, indulgent treat, high in sugar and fat due to the frying process and powdered sugar. They are best enjoyed as an occasional treat during a visit to the park.

  10. Popularity and Reviews: Disneyland’s beignets are a must-try snack, especially for those visiting New Orleans Square. They are a fan favorite for their delicious taste and fun presentation, with guests often praising the Mickey-shaped version as a magical Disney twist on a classic New Orleans dessert.

Beignets at Disneyland are a perfect blend of classic pastry and Disney charm, offering guests a sweet, warm treat that’s both nostalgic and uniquely tied to the park’s New Orleans Square.

We need more pictures of us eating beignets.  And we need to eat more beignets.  Let's eat some when we go in November.


Here's the long story:

The Wild Ride

Once aboard, the train chugged up the first incline, and the familiar rumble of Big Thunder Mountain filled the air. As they crested the hill, the ride took off with a burst of speed, sending them twisting and turning through tunnels and over ridges.

When they approached the infamous goat perched on the hill, Mandy visibly tensed.

"Not the goat!" she shouted, squeezing Steve’s arm. "Last time, it scared me so bad I almost jumped out of the train!"

Sure enough, as they zipped past the goat, it gave Mandy its wide-eyed stare.

"Still creepy!" Mandy yelled, laughing as she held on for dear life.

"Don’t worry," Steve called over the roar of the ride, "Goats can’t get you if you don’t make eye contact!"

The rest of the ride was a blur of speed, screams, and laughter. As they whizzed through the final stretch, the families were having the time of their lives.
