I've always wanted to use my platform for good so I have partnered with @BeTheMatch to remind you that if you’re already registered as a bone marrow donor, when they find a match, please remember to say YES.
Over 70% of patients who need a transplant do not have a fully matched donor in their family, they depend on Be The Match. Because of the makeup of the registry, 53% of Asian patients, 71% of African American patients, 52% of Hispanic patients, and 40% of Native American patients won't find a match. We need more diverse donors to join the registry to increase the odds for those patients.
Check out my stories to learn more about @BeTheMatch, how to register and more. #TimeToMatch #texastravel #texasblogger #traveltexas #texastravelblogger #houstonbloggers #houstonblogger #texashillcountry #txhillcountry #visittexas
🥖MEXICO CITY INSPIRED PANADERIA IN SAN ANTONIO 🥖MEXICO CITY INSPIRED PANADERIA IN SAN ANTONIO
This is the one restaurant I visit EVERY single time I’m in town!! @LaPanaderia opened in 2014 & specializes in making handmade bread & pan dulce inspired by Mexico’s Golden Era, which also draws influence from French, Italian, & American breadmaking techniques. Which means yes, the bread is 🤤 & absolutely worth the drive!
🎥In the video:
-Tres Leches Croissant, Vanilla Concha (top was crunchy while the inside was flaky 🤤), Chocolate Croissant, Sugar Donut
-Bacon & Egg Torta on birote with a house salad (my favorite)
-French Toast on Cinnamon Raisins & Pecans roll
-El Buenos Dias
-Iced Lattes
🏆And if you don’t believe me when I say it’s worth the hype, it was named one of the 10 “best artisanal bakeries in North America” by USA Today’s 10 Best.
📍3 locations in San Antonio (La Cantera, Downtown, & Broadway)

I remember visiting Laredo when my family and I would drive to Mexico for our family trips. It had been years since I had visited and let me tell you, it has grown SO much. Some of my favorite things to do were strolling through downtown feeling like we went back in time, and the blend of Mexican and American cultures, from the amazing Mexican food to the Spanglish menus. Here are some things you can't miss on your next visit! Thanks for inviting me @visitlaredotx

4️⃣ Cross the border into Mexico and spend a day in Nuevo Laredo.
5️⃣ Get some shopping done at @the_outlet_shoppes_at_laredo and get a photo at the Laredo mural on the second floor.
6️⃣ Visit the museums like the Republic of the Rio Grande Museum, Laredo Water Museum, Border Heritage Museum, or the TAMIU Planetarium.
WHERE TO EAT
1️⃣ Kaitod Thai - an absolutely stunning Thai restaurant in downtown Laredo

A day at Disney World’s Flower & Garden Festival at Epcot

May 16, 2021      Leave a Comment

A Day At Disney World's Flower & Garden Festival at Epcot 2021

I was so excited to spend a day at Disney World’s Flower & Garden Festival at Epcot, which runs March 3-July 5, 2021.

I will be covering what to skip on (what I tried and will say PASS on), what are the MUST haves, what I wish I had tried, and what to expect and other tips on how to make your experience at Epcot Flower & Garden Festival a great one!

WHAT TO EXPECT

Short answer, flowers, lots of flowers. 

No but really, you will see lots of beautiful colorful flowers and also topiaries. Look out for these sculptures made out of plants shaped like Disney characters, gardens and wildlife habitats.

Also note to pick up a Festival Passport at the entrance. It has all the details on Topiaries, entertainment, food, drinks etc. I would say to stop and take a moment and look over it and highlight what you want to try.  Make a game plan! 

Click here for the full list, so you can start making plans from home!

FYI: As Disney is operating at limited capacity, make sure to check Park availability here before booking your flight and ticket to Disney.

Here are a couple of my favorite Topiaries below. Click here for a full list.

What to get

Epcot Flower & Garden Festival 2021 France food goat cheese tart

Here is a list of my favorites and MUST haves at The Flower & Garden Festival.

FRANCE

Get the Tarte aux Oignons Caramelises et Chevre (Goat cheese tart), you will NOT be disappointed. I mean anything with goat cheese is good right?

JAPAN

Get the Frushi, it’s pretty much fruit sushi, so good and refreshing!

ITALY

We tried the Arancini, fried risotto balls, and they were SO good.

What I wanted to try

CHINA

House-made Crab and Cheese Wontons and I’m a sucker for vodka sodas and this Kung Fu Punch adds mango syrup and orange juice, yes please!

GERMANY

Potato Pancakes with house made apple sauce or with caramelized ham, onions, and herb sour cream, I am SOLD.

FRANCE

I love Rose and regret not trying the VeRy Raspberry, rose wine with natural raspberry flavor, and the La Vie en Rose Frozen slushy, which contains vodka and St. Germain.

NEAR MOUSE GEAR

Joffrey’s Coffee & Tea Company near Mouse Gear has a Bloomin Berry, Frozen lemon and blackberry syrup with a splash of Vodka.

 

What to skip on

MEXICO

We tried the Tostada de Cochinita & Taco Vampiro. They were both good but nothing to rave about so I would say, SKIP! Although, if you still want to try one, I did prefer the tostada over the taco.

I also tried the Passion fruit margarita. Sounds great right? Wrong! It tasted like margarita mix with a slight fruitier flavor, I couldn’t even finish it, SKIP!

I do want to point out I have had my fair share of Mexican food as I am Mexican and I live in Texas, which has a lot of great Mexican food as well. 

ITALY

We tried the Margherita pizza and it was good but nothing to rave about or go out of your way for, PASS and try something else.

In conclusion

If you are planning on being at Disney World March 3 – July 5, I hope you get a chance to spend a day at Disney World’s Flower & Garden Festival at Epcot.

I hope you have a brief idea on what to expect, what to get, and what to skip on. If y’all have any questions let me know in the comments!
