66 degrees, but feels like 61 and windy in Freeport. I think this is as close as I will need to be to the “action”. An “at sea day” for me it is.

Don’t worry about us. We aren’t missing a meal on the Carnival Glory. Dessert is my least favorite part of the meal, but tonight’s panna cotta hit the spot. They tempted us into a third dessert, too, and who can say no to creme brûlée?

Disney Springs Dining: A Letdown Again?

You know, I love a good trip to Disney Springs—the ambiance, the shopping, the vibe—but when it comes to the food, I’ve yet to be wowed. Honestly, every meal I’ve had there barely hits a 6/10. While I haven’t tried STK or Wine Bar George (my daughter loves that one), the rest? Meh.

My latest disappointment was at City Works Eatery and Pour House. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed the atmosphere, the prices were reasonable, and my daughter’s spicy burger was fantastic. But my dish? Not so much.

I ordered the Blackened Chicken Linguine with Andouille Sausage, Bell Peppers, Red Onion, Green Onion, and Sriracha Cream. Sounds like a winner, right? Especially after walking 7 miles at Disney’s Animal Kingdom! But… I’m almost certain that wasn’t chicken in my dish. It tasted more like tripe (gag!), which I’ve had before during my time in Panama (it’s a delicacy there, but not for me!).

Let’s just say, I won’t be ordering that again anytime soon.

So now I’m curious—how have your Disney Springs food experiences been? Have you found any must-try spots, or have you been as underwhelmed as I have? Let’s hear it!

🌟 Just sharing a little discovery I made! 🌟

Scrolling through my feed, an ad for discount stamps caught my eye. Skeptical, I decided to take the plunge...and guess what? They just arrived in the mail, and I'm glad to know it’s legit! 🎉

For years I’ve been paying full price for stamps, and as someone who sends dozens of cards and postcards (and has been collecting stamps for nearly 30 years), this was a game-changer. The variety is amazing, and I even snagged some collectible sheets!

If you’re looking to save a few bucks this year and add to your own collection, I highly recommend checking it out. Who knew such deals existed? 🤯

Feeling speechless and thrilled!

✨ Guess who's back to the magic?

One trip to Disney would’ve cost me $199 for a single weekday park admission plus parking. But for just over $400, I snagged a Florida resident annual pass that includes complimentary parking and allows unlimited visits (with a few blackout dates and weekend restrictions).

Here’s the best part: You can either pay in full or make monthly payments with zero percent interest—same price either way. Talk about a no-brainer if you’re planning to visit twice or more!

So yep, I made the smart choice and got my annual pass! Bring on the Disney adventures in 2025—it’s been a few years, but it feels great to be back to burning up the annual pass. 🏰🎢🎠

I was glad to contribute to this article and Visit Tuscaloosa to raise awareness about zero-proof beverages. They're a super popular trend, and the results will last way longer than Dry January.

Here's a short bit from The "Buzz" Around Non-Alcoholic Cocktails

What Are "Mocktails?"

Mocktails, short for "mock cocktails," are creative, flavorful drinks crafted without alcohol. They have gained popularity in recent years, especially as people look for healthier alternatives to traditional alcoholic beverages. We recently learned from travel consultant Melody Pittman that she prefers to call non-alcoholic cocktails "Zero-Proof Cocktails. "From Las Vegas to Portland, ME, zero-proof cocktails are appearing on menus everywhere, offering options for non-drinkers, minors, pregnant people, designated drivers, and those with religious restrictions," Pittman says. In today's inclusive society, why limit your bar or restaurant to only alcoholic beverages?" These beverages offer all the fun of cocktails—like vibrant colors, layered flavors, and refreshing ingredients—without the "buzz."

Nom! Dinner from Julington Creek Fish House in Saint Johns, FL. All you can eat shrimp with a side of your choice plus coleslaw for $19.99 on Tuesdays. Sounds like a great deal to me!

I know most of you are experiencing blustery winter conditions, and I feel for ya. It’s our (usually) one cold winter spell in Florida (39, feels like 33), and I’m numb.

Y’all stay warm and safe.

What’s the temp where you are? I can’t wait to hear from my Midwest friends. ♥️
