Breakfast SAVE: Tomorrowland Terrace. If you are looking for a place to have a nice sit-down (although counter-service) breakfast, your choices are limited. But of...

(The date of this post and the picture at left probably gives away the answer to the question, but go with me here. Also, I heard this information from a primary source but have not been able to confirm it independently, so understand that this may not be the “official story”. It makes sense, though!)

What day? Consider the clues: 1. Year – This...

in All Posts, disney at home, disneyland, Jessica, recipes
I was itching to make another Disneyland recipe, and you know, ask and you shall receive! I was sent this recipe for the Tres Leches Cake which is served at Rancho Del Zocalo Restaurante in Disneyland Park. Although I love the restaurant and have frequented it many times, I’ve never ordered this – but my husband was quite anxious for me to give it a go since he’s basically in love with Tres Leches. A little nudge from him, plus the fact that every single Disneyland recipe I’ve made has been outstanding made this an easy decision. And, for the first time...
