Sunnyside.

Bacon and sausage, check. Biscuit, potatoes, check. Eggs sunny side up, check. Pineapple garnish, just the right touch for a Polynesian breakfast at Kona Café. Sock Monkey and family had an amazing meal at the restaurant. We definitely recommend a stop in here for a nice sit down breakfast.

Happy 4th of July!

Happy Birthday USA!!! Parades, BBQs, fireworks, and celebrations, all things related to the Fourth of July, America’s Independence Day. Sock Monkey wanted to show off his red, white, and blues. He’s sitting back and relaxing here at the American pavilion at Epcot. What’s your American Adventure?

Play it again.

Gather ‘round folks, we’re ready to hear some classic 4^th of July tunes! As Walt Disney had imagined, he created Main Street, USA at the Magic Kingdom to resemble any Main Street across any town in the United States. Seeing an image such as this reminds one of the old town celebrations of this incredible country back in the early 20^th century, a cappella and barbershop quartets. It’s good to know even after decades of visiting Walt Disney World, we can still find our friend here playing the piano. Sock Monkey couldn’t resist getting a photo taken with him, as this barbershop quartet singer/pianist is just as Americana as is Disney World itself. A trip never feels complete until we see him play.

Colonial America.

We are getting ready to celebrate Independence Day! For the next few days we’re going to post all things American. Starting with one of our favorite pastime, eating at Columbia Harbour House at Magic Kingdom.  From the woodwork and the carpentry to the dishware, the décor here reminds me of what you’d find in Colonial America, especially the metal dishware. In modern times, we’re so used to drinking out of glass and plastic cups, can you imagine pursing your lips onto a chilled metal cup? Sock Monkey wants to. He’s ready to down a pint right about now!
