A Throwback Valentine's at Disney

Happy Valentine's day! Or Valium-times day, as I used to call it. Either name works around here.

I'm just happy to be able to spend V-day this year with K as I was traveling last year while he was at home.

We usually avoid restaurants like the plague on V-day but I went ahead and booked us reservations for a popular seafood restaurant in town. Friday nights are our night to eat out and I have some gift cards that need to be used so we will just have to tackle the crowds this year. After cooking and eating at home all week, I love nothing more than having someone else cook & do the dishes for me.

Our best Valentine's yet was 2 years ago when we spent the day at Disney (using tickets we got as a Christmas gift).

We started at Hollywood Studios and went on the Tower of Terror ride which drops about 15 floors. (I'm getting too old for this shit)

Then went to Epcot to drink around the world ~ beer in Germany, wine in France, sake in Japan, and the list goes on. By the time you make it to the end of the "world" you have a huge nice little buzz going.  Epcot is my absolute favorite Disney Park and I'm hoping to go back this year.

Everything was fun and games until the sun went down and the temperature dropped a million degrees forcing me to buy a f-ugly Hello Kitty pajama/sweater thingy.

We stayed the night at a Disney hotel to avoid driving after our "international array" of drinks at Epcot. The next day we went for lunch on Disney's Boardwalk before heading home from our little stay-cation.

Not sure we'll ever be able to top this V-day so it's one for the books. This year is going to be more of a dinner & movie kind of night which I'm perfectly happy with.

What are your V-day/weekend plans?

Joining Helene and Sarah today for the Valentine's Linkup.

  8. The Tower of Terror scares the shit out of me! I was just living in Orlando while my fiance played hockey there and we bought a pass to Epcot because we really wanted to do the whole drinking around the world thing, but then he got called up to play in Toronto so we didn't get to do it. It sounds like that was an awesome Valentine's Day. Happy Valentine's Day and have a great weekend!
