Sunni takes a look at “Elsa the Snow Queen”




After seeing all the trailers for Frozen, I have to say it looks pretty cool! I was a bit critical at first, I didn’t think it was all that interesting, but now that I’ve seen the newest trailer, I’m really looking forward to it!

But I’m not here to talk about the trailer actually. I’m here to talk about the new Disney Princess Elsa, and what we can expect from her when the Frozen opens.

Elsa looks like a very cool character and her back story 
is very interesting. . Elsa was born with the power to create ice and snow, which is both a good thing and a bad thing. Haunted by the moment her magic nearly killed her younger sister Anna, Elsa isolated herself, trying to suppress her powers.And on the day of her coronation, which is also her birthday; (making her 21*, thus she is the oldest Disney Princess, unless you count Princess Kida, who’s 8800 years old lol) she somehow got her powers revealed, and sets off a mysterious ancient curse on the kingdom of Arendelle in an eternal winter.  So because she sees herself as a monster for hurting her sister and putting a frozen curse on the kingdom, she basically banishes HERSELF to an ice palace she built, and creates snowman warriors, to protect herself (or at least keep people away from her unstable powers).

 *from the official Disney character bio* it also says she created Olaf.


But I did find some interesting mentions on the page that I’m going to talk about.
 Apparently her enemy is someone by the name of “The Duke of Weselton” this guy right here.

THIS is the guy that made everyone turn on Elsa and call her a monster.  His shtick is that he wanted to get close to Elsa before her coronation to exploit Arendelle’s trades and goods.  And an interesting thing to add, the official character bio says he’s one of the antagonists. ONE OF THE ANTAGONISTS!!
 So there’s probably another antagonist in the story besides him.

Like in Wreck it Ralph, Gene was from first glace one of the main bad guys because he hated Ralph and just saw Ralph as the bad guy, but then it turned out that (spoiler alert) it was King Candy all along, who was Turbo in disguise.
Perhaps Frozen will play the same card as Wreck it Ralph did, having the main villain be someone we least expect.






 Also Elsa’s ally is someone called “Marshmallow”. Now I was assuming Marshmallow was a horse or something since I didn’t see a picture. But then I finally found one, and saw this….

….oh.  So THAT’s Marshmallow……fitting name. Anyway, that’s about it. That’s all the info I got on Elsa at the moment.  The animation is Amazing and the Character of Elsa would be a beautiful addition to being a future Disney Princess. 
So until next time,

See ya real soon!

Quick Service MUST EATS


There are lots of things we have on our "Must Do List"  the moment we go thru the Disney Park gates. What ride will be go on first ? What park to we hop over to during the day? For our kids the favorite is  "which Monorail color will be here next?".  But really we all know that the most important questions of the day will be , " What are we eating next and where? "!
Yes,  Disney Park food can just put you in a state of emotional happiness. There is so much to choose from especially when you go to Walt Disney World. This can actually make you crazy because every Park every where you turn has DELICIOUS food. There are lots of wonderful Table service Restaurants in Walt Disney World. I am just going to run through just some of the walk up or quick service food you have to try.

Here are some Quick Service Food Areas You Can't Miss !



Because I love books and coffee so so much, we went into the Writers Stop. Its a cute small coffee house with special goodies that we come back for every time. Our daughter was reading many years back that the Writers Stop, would be having a seasonal Carrot Cake Whop-pie. We feel we are good parents and feel to help our kids we should try new things they suggest. This was AMAZING , moist sweet but not too sweet and the cream cheese filling was wonderful.  They are good for you too, they have fruit which is the raisins and veggies with all those carrots. Did I also mention this thing is HUGE? so for me I could share but everyone wanted their own. Well , everyone is in luck this had become so popular, it became a staple on the menu years back, so its there all the time now. So now you know this has to be on your must stops, its the Writer Stop in Disney's Hollywood Studios.
                                                                    

Epcot World Showcase, yes we do hop over to Epcot more then the Magic Kingdom. One of the Pavilion that has a fish to die for, its United Kingdom Pavilion.Yorkshire County Fish Shop usually has a long line but the wait is worth every minute. The English fried fish and your chips are 'Delicious'. I have to eat it with Malt Vinegar but they do also offer Ketchup.  Now remember its a walk up window and your fish will be wrapped in tradition newspaper.  Yorkshire County Fish Shop is great you'll really enjoy it and you can thank me later.
                 
Beer, Lagers, Ales, Dark or Light in color ,Epcots Germany Pavilion has it all. You haven't enjoyed Germany unless you have had a Germany Pretzel at the Sommerfest with a Germany Beer of course. They have of the best bratwurst with sauerkraut we have ever had . In the sweets side they have Bavarian apple strudel,and black forest cake both have our seal of approval.
All the castmember's in all of the World Show Case Pavilions are from the countries they are representing. We have spent lots of time chatting with these young adults from all the Pavilions . We enjoy how nice and willing they all are to talk to all the guest . I am sure they are answering the same questions over and over about certain things about their homelands but you would never know it .
                                                     
France is the family favorite place to get a quick bite whether it be lunch or dessert you can never go wrong with the Boulangerie Patisserie les Halles . Nothing beats a Croissant with either chocolate or ham and cheese. I do believe my husband has tried everything, but as of this year it has opened up in a bigger space so that means lots more to try. Now they even serve soups and salads so the combinations now are endless . My favorite is the Palmiers, my kids love the cream puffs or any of the chocolate works of art and my husband loves it all. Boulangerie Patisserie les Halles in Epcot World Showcase, is a wonderful place to eat anytime of day.



In the Magic Kingdom at Aloha Isle that's in Adventureland, you will find this pineapple delight its similar to soft sever but to me creamer. Dole Whip is so good, you can get it several ways with fruit (pineapple) or as a Dole Whip Float with Pineapple Juice or your choice of different juices. For my kids they love just the Dole Whip in a cup but my husband and I love the Dole Whip Float with Pineapple juice its delicious. This little counter is a must stop. Also depending on the weather you can expect to wait a bit the line does get long.

Pinocchio's Village Haus is in Fantasyland right next to Its a Small World. Its the cutest booth in Disneyland and the Magic Kingdom. It feel like you are in a little Italian village in the mountains so adorable. So back to the food ,this is a  great place to eat for every pallet.  They serve flatbread pizzas, macaroni and cheese, and subs. My favorite there are the Mediterranean salad, to have healthy choices while on vacation is perfect. My mom loves the ice coffee here. My kids love the flatbread pizzas and the meatball sandwiches they all really good.





Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn & Cafe thats in the
Magic Kingdom in Frontierland is a great place
to eat. Taco Salads are great , you get the huge taco shell filled with ground beef . Then you go to the fixings bar and add the lettuce tomatoes yourself. The BBQ Pork sandwich and the Burgers are wonderful . I usually get the Bacon Burger or the Taco Salad now the differently have my seal of approval. Pecos Bills has a huge seating area and depending when you go you may be helped by a castmember to help you find a table. This is the place to go when you are hungry and need the extras to keep you going. Pecos Bills is near to Splash Mountain and the Pirates of the Caribbean ride , great for after the rides of course.


Animal Kingdom has lots of American food which is really good but the best food to try is African. The place to go to in the Animal Kingdom is the Tamu Tamu . This beauty of a sandwich is a Pulled Beef slow cooked of course served in a Pita. A wonderful taste and smells so good too. We love this sandwich they also have a roasted chicken sandwich that is really good too. We also order the quinoa salad that is hearty tasty and healthy. Tamu Tamu is a walk up window this has to be on your must try list.


I have only sratched the surface of the Amazing Foods in Walt Disney World. Hopefully you can get there soon to enjoy all of these delights.
