Hello, Happy Haunts! New video is out NOW on the Hatbox Host YouTube channel! 😃

In today's video, we are celebrating May the Fourth the only way I know how—at Disney's Hollywood Studios! Join me as we pay homage to the widely beloved Star Wars franchise.

We'll begin our day searching for limited time treats, and munch our way around Sunset Boulevard and Backlot Express. There, we will stop for Lightsaber Churros, a Darth Maul inspired chocolate mousse, and more!

Later, we'll march over to the X-wing for a little photoshoot, and pay tribute to some of my favorite costumes and cosplays from May the Fourth!

We will conclude our night with my pals and at Oga's Cantina, fuel up on Jet Juice, and marvel at DJ R-3X!

So, look alive. Let's get those cadavers moving!

A very special thanks to everyone who participated in the costume montage! Be sure to follow them on Instagram too:

Hello, Happy Haunts! In today's video, I invite you to set sail with me on another food-venture! I hope you will open your mind AND your tastebuds on this offbeat food tour of Disney Springs.

We will start our day together at Morimoto Asia, which is known for its cutting edge Pan-Asian cuisine. Modern meets affluent in this incredible restaurant, which sprawls across multiple levels and boasts an open floor kitchen. There, we will expand our palates and indulge in a Beijing delicacy that dates WAY back to the imperial era. We'll also sip on a cocktail made with a special edition bourbon that was hand-selected for Morimoto Asia!

Later, we will head over to the ALL NEW Salt & Straw ice cream parlor for dessert. There, we will experiment with eccentric flavors—embracing the sweet, the savory, and everything in between!

This food tour was carefully crafted WITH LOVE for all you adventurers out there! So, look alive. Let's get those cadavers moving!

Hello, Happy Haunts! A NEW VIDEO has materialized on the Hatbox Host YouTube channel! 💜 I am simply buzzing with joy for spring-time festivities and seasonal fun at Walt Disney World. Today, I invite YOU to join me for a swingin' wake!

We will start our day at the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival–where we will be greeted by cheerful topiaries, colorful cuisine, and dazzling desserts. Throughout the day, we will visit 5 outdoor kitchens and try 8 different culinary delights. While there, I'll share some fun facts about the garden topiaries and explain what makes this festival the BEST and BRIGHTEST at Walt Disney World!

Later, we will land at Disney's Yacht & Beach Club Resorts to marvel at their very own chocolate Easter egg displays, which are equally charming and picturesque!

Together we will share a few laughs along the way, outrun a couple of Daleks, and geek out over the culinary delights that sit before us. It is truly a spectacular experience to witness the transformation of EPCOT year after year–as it transcends the tranquil oasis of your wildest dreams!

So, look alive. Let's get those cadavers moving!

Hello, Happy Haunts! NEW VIDEO IS UP NOW on the Hatbox Host YouTube channel! 😃

In today's video, I am embarking on a mission to meet as many characters as possible in one night. Starting on April 18th, socially distant character interactions will be a thing of the past! So, I thought it would be fun to take you along with me across Walt Disney World property to meet some characters! (Personally, it will be my last time doing so in a socially distant setting)

We will begin our evening at Disney's Wilderness Lodge where we will have dinner at Artist Point: Storybook Dining with Snow White. There, we will encounter the Evil Queen, a couple of dwarves, and Snow White herself! I will also share my thoughts on the food, desserts, and signature cocktail. 💖

Later, we will head over to Magic Kingdom to visit the Big Cheese himself and have some fun banter with two different princesses! Plus, I make a humble confession to Tiana. Can you guess what it is? Stay with me until the end to find out!

It was a SUPER FUN night and the characters truly made me forget that we were distanced at all. So, I hope it makes you feel the same way as you watch from the comfort of your home.

P.S. Today's episode is a little longer than usual. Let me know what you think of that! Perhaps I will make a 'part two' after April 18th and report back to you on wait times, how the experience has changed, etc.

As always, I hope you enjoy! Thank you for watching, my beloved Happy Haunts!

Hello, Happy Haunts! A NEW VIDEO has materialized on the Hatbox Host YouTube channel 😃 It’s been a long time coming, and I truly hope you enjoy! 💜

In today's adventure, we are unlocking a world of flavor in the Morocco Pavilion at EPCOT. If you are a thrill seeker who longs for colorful cuisine and intricately designed mosaics, look no further than Morocco!

Today, I invite you to join me in my search for aromatic dishes that are unique to this corner of Walt Disney World. I'll highlight some of the elegant craftsmanship and imperfect details that surround us in this breathtaking neighborhood of the World Showcase, and sprinkle in a short history lesson too!

Our first destination is Spice Road Table, where we are met with a variety of piquant dishes. Here, we try two vegetarian options, one poultry dish, and another for my seafood lovers out there.

Be sure to save room for dessert! We'll make our way over to Oasis Sweets & Sips—where we indulge in two spectacular Moroccan pastries. I must warn: It WILL get messy!

We will conclude our day with Sangria Sips in the Souk, which truly speaks for itself. Together we will soak in the nighttime ambience of Morocco—where every moment is sipped 'n savored!

I hope you brought your passport! Here is the foodie guide you NEVER knew you needed for EPCOT's Morocco Pavilion.

Hello, Happy Haunts! Today, I invite you to join me for a special holiday event—Walt Disney World’s Very Merriest After Hours!

On this night, Magic Kingdom is aglow with the spirit of Christmas, and I am taking you along with me to experience the event in its full glory!

This adventure is complete with awesome character sightings, remarkable decorations, and a spectacular Christmas parade! 🎄✨

Together we will dance around like maniacs in Tomorrowland, pause for some snickerdoodle cookies, and stop a few villains in their plot to kidnap Santa! (Curses upon that wretched Hook!)

Be sure to stick around for the parade and my final impressions toward the end of the video!

So, slap on a Christmas sweater. Santa's coming to Magic Kingdom!

Hello, Happy Haunts! I am happy to announce A NEW VIDEO on the Hatbox Host YouTube channel! 😃

Prepare to send your taste buds into hyperdrive. This trip to Hollywood Studios packs quite a punch! First, we'll start with a very special 50th Anniversary treat on Sunset Boulevard, and coat our bellies with a toothsome dessert.

We'll cruise on our speeder bikes and get a little lost, only to land on a foreign planet! There, on Batuu, we'll search for nourishment in the form of a cure-all elixir...

Luckily, we will stumble upon Oga's Cantina! There, we'll encounter an audiophile droid (DJ R-3X) and curious concoctions that will charm and mystify us! Together, we'll try 3 different cocktails and regard the unusual behavior of our barkeep. Hint: There is a hammer involved.

Finally, we'll pop over to Toy Story Land, where a kind cast member will graciously sprinkle a little bit of pixie dust on our night! 😭

So buckle up, look alive, and try NOT to crash your speeder bike. Let's get those cadavers moving!

15/11/2021

Hello, Happy Haunts! 🥰 I hope you had a wonderful weekend. I have been under the weather all week, but I thought I would pop on to say hello!

I have a new video brewing for you, and I’ll be sharing my trip to Oga’s Cantina on YouTube later this week!

Also, I’ll be going live with on Instagram tomorrow at 7 PM EST if you care to come out and socialize! 👻

I hope to see you there. Happy Sunday, dear ones! 💛

Hello, Happy Haunts! In today's video, we return to EPCOT with fiery anticipation—for the BRAND NEW nighttime spectacular, Harmonious!

First, we will begin our day in the Canada pavilion and enjoy a ravishing meal at Le Cellier. Elegant meets rustic in this romantic, shadowy hideaway. Here, we will savor a succulent AAA tenderloin and soak in the ambience. This charming eatery, inspired by the wine cellars of grand chateau-style hotels, will surely give us something to rave about.

We'll then explore the Canada pavilion, gaze upon its breathtaking waterfall, and share a few laughs in the Northwest Mercantile. Fancy some Ferret Fart Soap? Canada has gotcha covered in this unique gift shop.

Evening will fall upon us, and we'll get a little starry-eyed watching Spaceship Earth come to life as a Beacon of Magic! Finally, we'll return to the World Showcase, share a drink in China, and rejoice in EPCOT's new fireworks show!

This will certainly be an EXPLOSIVE experience, but are the new fireworks dynamite? I invite you to find out in today's video.
So, look alive. Let's get those cadavers moving!

Hello, Happy Haunts! In today's BRAND NEW video, I surrender my wallet to Disney Genie+ and Cinderella's Royal Table. We will begin our day with breakfast in the castle and enjoy a bountiful banquet, surrounded by the beauty of Cinderella herself!

Together, we'll navigate the brand new Disney Genie+ planning tool, and I will explain how the system works as we bulldoze our way through various attractions in the Lightning Lane! I will also demonstrate how the pay-per-ride feature works for a fan favorite attraction.

Be sure to stick around until the end for Disney Enchantment! Vibrant colors and shimmering lights will soar across the sky as we gaze upon Cinderella Castle.

Welcome to Magic Kingdom Park!

Hello, Happy Haunts! In today's YouTube video, I thought I would bare all and share a big part of my personal life with you. Some of you already know that I have chronic urticaria. I thought I would elaborate on that today, since it has a distinctive way of hijacking my creative energy. Plus, we'll go on a philosophical tangent on measuring success, and discuss future plans for the Hatbox Host YouTube channel. Gratitude is an important topic here, so prepare for a thank-you-storm in today's video. This is a short and sweet one. I hope you enjoy for what it is worth!
