OCTOBER 7, 2024
ALLIE'S BIRTHDAY DINNER AT VIA NAPOLI

We poked around some more and stopped for some poncho-free photo ops along the way...


Also, by this time she had pretty much given up on drinking around the world
after a total of three drinks that were all shared with Clay

Allie's favorite restaurant at EPCOT, if not all of WDW is Via Napoli
so of course we had to have her birthday dinner there.
Mike and I split the Sangria flight which is always so good...


The salad shared by the table...


Focaccia bread with marinara and olive oil...


Pepperoni Pizza...


And Margherita Pizza...


Everything was so good, one of our favorite Disney dinners always.
It is so nice to have the International CMs back too since it really enhances the experience.
Our server was adorable and so so sweet. He brought out this dessert and everyone sang to Allie after dinner.


10/10 experience and we all loved it!

I think we left there around 6:30 and headed back to the Beach Club via the International Gateway. I stopped and watched Joey Fatone and friends for a little bit on my way past and he was soooo good and actually had Lance Bass come out with him. I would love to see him properly sometime!

It had been a long day so we headed back to the resort for a bit to rest up for the night's plan.
Any guesses where we were going for her birthday night??
Here's a sad hint...it no longer exists

That's next!​

on Guardians where we got this masterpiece...

Frameable for sure.

and just looking at this reminds me that this booth wasn't there this year...bummer because it was so good!

Tragic. Mac n cheese should be a staple at every festival.

it was time for Allie to start her quest drinking around the world

Start the birthday off by not remembering it.

Her first (legal) drink...

Annndddd she hated it! Haha! She took one sip and handed it right to Clay who did clean-up duty!

Time for drink number two that was also not really a hit and again given to Clay!

So... she's sipping around the world and Clay is drinking around the world.

What the heck is that? It looks like a jumbo, plain flour tortilla.

Ava's ginormous chocolate chip cookie...

Look at all those chips! It's more like chocolate with some cookie dough thrown in.
(and that's not a bad thing.)

one of Mike's favorite things, the Bratwurst in Germany...

Mine too.

While I was in there I noticed they had bratwurst like this but loaded with Sauerkraut. I tried texting him but he had already gotten his plain old boring bratwurst but we will have to remember that for next time because the one inside looked much more appetizing!)

Noted!

Well that didn't last long!

Uh huh... The waiters don't hurt, do they?

Our server was adorable and so so sweet.

"adorable"... ahem.

After our trip around the world it was time for Allie to start her quest drinking around the world
and where else would she start but in Mexico!

Because she was doing it the right way!!! Bummer that her drinking around the world was a bust though. Some countries are definitely harder than others to find something we actually enjoy drinking when we do this, too.

I stopped and watched Joey Fatone and friends for a little bit on my way past and he was soooo good and actually had Lance Bass come out with him. I would love to see him properly sometime!

Oh, me, too!!!!! I know Billie has gone to see the show. It looks like SUCH a blast! My boy band loving heart would absolutely love to see that show, too!

My guess is you went to Jellyrolls for her birthday night. I am really kicking myself that we never got to go! I have got to stop putting things off for next time because Disney always seems to get rid of the thing I was going to do "next time."
