Some days you just want to wear an oversized men's sweater, Star Wars leggings and heeled boots. I think I've only worn this sweater once on the blog, but its one of my favorite "hang around the house" pieces. Then I decided it needed some blog time in honor of Mickey's 90th birthday last month. I think I paid about $5 for it back in 2013. There are a few on eBay right now too if you want to grab one for yourself!
Funnily enough, half of this outfit is thrifted. The sweater, turtleneck and bag were all under $10! (The bag was $2!) The leggings were a gift from Kohl's as a part of my Star Wars photoshoot. The only expensive thing I'm wearing is my boots, which I also got for half retail price at Marshalls.

Sometimes it's just too windy/freezing to take photos outside. On this day Christian and I went to the park for a Pokemon Community Day (yes, we're nerds, we don't care.) and it was super windy and cold. We spent a lot of the time just sitting in the car to escape. We did manage to get a couple things we were hunting for but man was it brutal! Instead of taking photos at the park like we usually do we decided to stay warm and take them in front of my parents fireplace. The lighting wasn't the best so the photos are a bit wonky, but what can you do.
P.S. I love this sweatshirt. It's actually from the kid's section. When Kristen and I went to Disney for my birthday last month we wanted to get a cute Toy Story related clothing item since that part of the park recently opened. Unfortunately the adult options weren't all that cute and they were so expensive - $35 for a t-shirt. This sweatshirt on the other hand, was $30 in the kids section but we got ours for $25 after our Annual Passholder discount. So pro-tip: if you are a Small or Medium in tops you can buy a Large kids sweatshirt and Disney for half the price of adult clothes.
Sweatshirt: Toy Story Aliens (Disney World), Jeans: Everlane 'Mid-Rise Skinny Jean' in Black, Slip-On Sneakers: BCBGeneration 'Yerra' Slip-on Sneaker (DSW), Bag: Chanel Classic 2.55 Double Flap (Madison Avenue Couture)

It's my last Disney post, so sad! BUT next week (hopefully) I'll be doing posts about my trip to Montreal. I got there Monday of this week and am heading home today! My friend Kristen and I both bought this tee when we went to Disney for her birthday in May so we decided to both wear them on this trip!
Mickey Tee: Disney World (Disney Character Warehouse), Shorts: Madewell, Sandals: Target Sunglasses: Ray Ban 'Erika', Eyeglasses chain: Tinksky (Amazon), Bag: Dooney & Bourke 2017 Sorcerer Mickey Disney Shopper Tote (eBay)
And here are some random leftover photos!

On one of our four (hah!) visits to EPCOT during our trip we did Princess Storybook Dining at Akershus Royal Banquet Hall in Norway for lunch. As the title suggests, at this experience you get to take photos with various Disney Princesses. The restaurant is beautifully themed inside so be sure to look around all the rooms before heading out.
Upon entering the restaurant for your reservation you get taken into a little alcove for a photo with Belle in her yellow dress from Beauty and the Beast. Then you sit down and a waitress takes your drink and entree order. After that you get to go up to a buffet to choose your appetizers. For my meal I chose Svinestek med Frukt (or Seared Pork Tenderloin) with Apricot Glaze, Multigrain Pilaf, Sautéed Mushrooms, and an Apple-Fennel Slaw. It was REALLY delicious and the pork was perfectly cooked. Kristen had the Flyt-stuffed Pasta which is cheese and spinach-stuffed pasta with olive oil-poached tomatoes, Parmesan cream sauce, and sweet balsamic glaze. She said it was very tasty.
Following the meal you are brought a dessert trio to share. We received a chocolate mousse torte, an apple cake with caramel sauce, and a rice pudding with strawberry sauce. The torte was my favorite, super smooth and had a nice crunch of toasted coconut on top. The apple cake was also very delicious and a great option for those who don't like their desserts to be too sweet. I didn't try the rice pudding but my friend said it was very tasty. Our waitress also brought me a cupcake and card for my birthday!
The princesses we got to take photos with were Aurora, Cinderella, Snow White and Ariel. I have seen other people get photos with Mulan at the meals so it probably changes every so often.
This was the most expensive meal of our trip coming in at $70 each after taking off our annual passholder discount and including tip. While the experience was fun I definitely wouldn't do it again. But it is another one that is fun to try just once as a splurge. It's also a cheaper option than Cinderella's Royal Table which I really enjoy. It's easier to get a reservation here too, but you should still book 180 days in advance if possible. This trip for us was about trying new dining experiences so in my mind it was worth it for us.
Next time I'll probably take everything I spent on specialty dining and do the Wild Africa Trek at Animal Kingdom. But, who knows when my next Disney trip will be now that I have a house and husband to worry about, ha ha.
