Yes, we low-key cosplayed Rapunzel and Flynn Rider
Willy came to visit me in Orlando from February 26th to the March 3rd. I was so excited about him coming that I almost couldn't believe it when he finally arrived!
The first full day that he was here, we went shopping at the outlets and ate sushi -- because as you know -- we're obsessed.
We tried out a place called Sushi Katana, which is now one of my first recommendations to people looking for fantastic sushi.
After eating sushi, we went into a food coma and basically relaxed the rest of the day. That evening, we went to Salty Sea Dog Café for dinner and drinks.
Salty Sea Dog Café has really good drinks, so I had to get the Salted Watermelon Margarita (right) and the White Peach Sangria (left). Willy and I also shared a flight with different craft beers (pictured below). This included a blueberry beer, a sour blood orange beer, and a white chocolate beer. All very unique!

The next day, I took Willy to Disney. We started out in Magic Kingdom and rode Big Thunder Mountain and stopped at Aloha Isle Refreshments so I could get the new Hei Hei ice cream cone! It was so cute and so refreshing! HOWEVER, there was an air hole in-between the raspberry and pineapple ice cream flavors, which eventually caused the raspberry top to fall off after I had eaten most of it. RIP. I watched it fall in slow motion, but I still had the pineapple flavored part left. Little did I know that when I looked down to watch it hit the ground, my skirt somehow rode up and became tucked into my backpack. I wasn't aware of this until a British woman stopped me. Here's how that conversation went...
British woman: Honey, your skirt's tucked into your backpack!
Me: (Looking at Willy and talking through my teeth) Why did you tell me that!
British woman: He didn't see it; he didn't see it!
British woman's husband: And I don't think the blokes behind you would have told you either!
.....And I died laughing and said thanks, especially since we were about to walk down Main Street USA to leave and go to Epcot. I was so embarrassed. Yikes. Could've been worse. I just have to wonder how many kids saw my underwear.
So, we finally got to Epcot so we could drink around the world!
I had wine in both Italy and France in addition to several other beverages, but my favorite was the frozen strawberry margarita in Mexico. It was worthy enough to have its photo taken!
Shown in the background is Willy's OG flavored marg.
I have to say, drinking around the world definitely made riding Mission Space more intense.
To be honest, I don't know if I'd do that again after drinking all day..........but it was fun so...........I might.
On the following day, we headed to the beach. We planned on going to Cocoa Beach, but Cape Canaveral was closer.
We picked a spot not far from some old guys fishing and saw a big pelican begging them for food just like a dog would.
It was pretty comical since they kept telling it to go away but it would always come back.
Willy and I decided that that pelican owns the beach.
Anyways, the water was a bit cold but we went in anyways!
After that I took a fat nap on the beach. I woke up wondering how many years had passed.
Once the sun starting setting, we went to find some seafood for dinner.
We ended up finding a nearby place called Rusty‘s. If there’s one thing I’m really happy about, it’s that Willy and I both love seafood. So, we were able to order oysters and fried fish, shrimp, & calamari. I ate way too much because it was too good not to finish.
For Willy’s last day, we went to Cracker Barrel for breakfast because he knows it’s one of my favorite places. So again, we feasted.
Later that evening, we went mini golfing at Congo River Golf where they have live baby alligators! It was a pretty large venue considering it was mini golf. I beat Willy by just a couple points. I still think he let me win.
But, the big finale was where we went to dinner that night. We went to a very eclectic restaurant called Cafe Tu Tu Tango. There was artwork hanging on every wall that was for sale. They also had artists painting live for people to watch. Plus, Willy and I were seated next to each other as opposed to across from each other, and we wondered why. But then, music started and a pair of flamenco dancers came out right in front of us!
Another cool thing about this place is that they only serve appetizers. So the idea is to order a lot and try several different things.
Here’s everything we ordered:
- Red and White Sangria
- Southwestern Salad
- Gator Bites
- Shrimp and Grits
- Jalapeño Mac ‘n Cheese
- Chorizo sliders
- Chocolate Covered Cheesecake (which was a surprise since Willy ordered it when I went to the restroom)
Out of all all these things, I’d definitely have to recommend the Gator Bites, Shrimp and Grits, and Jalapeño Mac ‘n Cheese.
Overall, Willy went above and beyond spoiling me.
The only bad thing about Willy coming to visit me is that I miss him even more now!!
