Where to stay, what to eat, and what to see on your Disney trips. Great options for both adults and families. There’s a reason they call me The Tipsy Mousewife!

Continue ReadingInspired By Disney’s California Food & Wine Festival Spam Musubi Fried Rice featuring caramelized spam in a soy brown sugar sauce, fried rice with egg, and a spicy mayo, this dish hits all the right notes for me. Topped with my favorite Furikake Rice Seasoning, it is texture and taste perfection. I had Spam Musubi when I was visiting Hawaii and loved it. I never thought to attempt making it at home until I was at Disney’s Food and Wine Festival recently and I was treated to a fried rice version that I knew I could replicate. I am sure…

Continue ReadingA Towering Trip As those of you who follow my Tipsy Housewife Travels page or Tipsy Mousewife Instagram profile know, I have a weakness for Disney trips and sharing my opinions about those trips. When I hear there’s a new offering available, I’m always tempted to check it out and in this instance, I gave into temptation and decided to stay at the newly opened Island Tower at Disney’s Polynesian Resort during my last trip to the Florida Parks. So how was it? Well… the Disney resorts are almost always a five star experience, to me, but if I’m being…

Continue ReadingResorts to Relax At In Between Park Larks I’m always being asked for my hotel recommendations at Walt Disney World. A lot of that probably has to do with my reputation as the The Tipsy Mousewife but I’d like to think I just have a face that people can trust with Disney advice. Keep in mind that I’m sharing my perspective as a childless, middle aged adult traveling without kids so don’t tell me that this advice doesn’t apply to you. If it doesn’t, then go elsewhere or keep reading for fun, I love to have you! I’ve chosen three…

Continue ReadingThe Hoopla about the Hoop Dee Doo Revue I think if you asked the average person about their most magical Disney experience, you’d probably get an answer about watching fireworks or seeing the joy in their child’s eyes when they first gazed upon a real-life version of the evil critic from Ratatouille. I won’t deny how great that stuff is, but when I think of Disney magic, I think of something a little more retro and bit more western. Let’s hop on a boat from the Wilderness Lodge and be sure to bring your appetite and sense of nostalgia because…

Continue ReadingMickey Meat Majesty When you think of the food at Disney, you probably think about Mickey Mouse pancakes or the famous Dole Whip. You may not think you’d find some of the best steakhouses at Disney but that’s why you have me to be your Tipsy Mousewife! Now are these going to be the best steaks you’ve ever eaten? Sure, why not? I don’t know your life! I just know these restaurants offer succulent beef, and other savory delights, that you should check out the next time you’re at the Happiest Place on Earth. Topolino’s Terrace at Disney’s Riviera Resort…

Continue ReadingDrinking with Donald and Friends As an adult at Disney, one of my favorite things to do is find a good bar or lounge, relax on my phone, and people watch. That’s why I’ve made it (one of) my life’s work(s) to document the best bars at Disney. Disney knows that their movies will be more successful if they’re appealing to adults as well as kids and the parks are no different. If you’re an adult who enjoys adult beverages you won’t be disappointed. In fact one of the many things Disney does right is that their drinks are never…

Continue ReadingA Great, Rustic Themed Resort Disney might as well be its own country at this point. You can take many trips to each of their parks and still not see everything though you can’t actually become a citizen of Disney… yet… You can, however, become an annual passholder and unlike a passport, this pass gives you access to exclusive sales. I decided to take advantage of a recent summer sale and, get this: it was super hot in Florida in July. Can you believe it? Anyway, since the last thing I wanted was to create Florida’s newest swamp in my…

Continue ReadingIf you’ve been online for any amount of time you probably know that people have very strong opinions on Disney World vacations ranging from where you should stay, what you should eat, how you should structure your time and how long you should stay for. On that last point, you might hear recommendations ranging from anywhere between four days to over a week. What you probably won’t ever hear is the suggestion you take a single whirlwind day, but that’s exactly what I did! Yep, I flew from Chicago to Orlando, spent the day at Disney World, and then flew…
