Orlando and Disneyworld

Orlando is a favorite city for me.  I love the warm heat, it reminds me of all the years I spent growing up in Las Vegas.  But I also have such fond memories of visiting my maternal grandparents in southern Florida, that Florida just has a special place in my heart.  I also love getting the good instagram shot!  So here are some of my favorite spots in central Florida for getting the best ‘gram photos and places I always try to visit when I’m in town! 
    

Glass Knife  

This is an art deco dream in Winter Park, Florida.  Also the perfect spot for multiple instagrams, with the pink wall, photogenic bench, and interior full of pink, gold, and black dream.  Order the cinnamon roll and thank me later.

Winter Park

        Just go for a stroll.  There’s beautiful little spots all through this community.  But, look for the arched hallway with a fountain at the end.  It’s a hidden little section of shops and restaurants and feels like a combination of Harry Potter hidden alleys AND a town in the Tuscan Valley of Italy. All the charm of a small town in Florida just a short drive from Orlando!

    Frontera Cucina     

        This restaurant is in Disney Springs and is often very busy, so either make a reservation or go during off hours: 2-5pm.  Order the queso fundido and the mango guac.  Both are our favorite dishes and in our opinion trump the entrees! Disney Springs has multiple great instagram spots, but our favorite is the deck behind Sprinkles because it has such a pretty view of the river and the greenery! Also check out the Co-op in Disney Springs for unique Disney souvenirs, art, and window shopping!

    Disneyworld 

        The secret to getting the best Disneyworld photos is to be in the park when it’s not crowded!  “But how Stevie?!” The secret is in the breakfast reservation.  Make a reservation for the Crystal Palace for 8am and then you can get some great castle photos before the park is the least bit crowded!
