My Magical Birthday Week at the Taste of Disney Media Event!

This week I am celebrating my 49th birthday. Wow, one more year of being in my 40's and then it's the big 50! Sigh.

I will not be celebrating my birthday at home though. But, I will be having a very magical birthday though!

As you read this, I am hopefully on a plane headed to Disney World! I will be attending the "Taste of Disney" Media event. It will be four days of experiencing all the Disney dining options and behind the scene experiences that involve food.

This is a dream come true for me because what is better than Disney and Food? Really, tell me. You all know I am a fiend about food. And, I am a total Disneyphile. Now, I will be able to enjoy these two things at one time! WOO!

I am so excited and, rest assured, that I will be posting pictures here and on my Facebook and Twitter feeds. So you might want to follow me there so you can see what I am up to. You can also visit my personal blog, Carolyn in Carolina, where I will be updating.

Now you all know I am on the Nutrisystem program so this will be a tough week for me. The problem is the event is all about food. But I am hoping that one thing I have learned is portion control! I think I will be fine as long as I don't hoark down every single thing that is put down before me. Check back on Wednesday though where I will let you know how much I lost on my second week. My third week might not be so pretty though but I am hoping that with a little portion control and lots of walking, it evens out.

I am sad hubby will not be coming with me but I am sure we will go back to Disney World together at some future date. But, I am very excited about learning how Disney does food. I am also excited that we will be visiting the New Fantasyland and eating at the new restaurant here, Be Our Guest!

I am also excited to be staying at The Grand Floridian. We never stayed there when we have visited Disney because it was just a little out of our price range. So I am thrilled to be able to stay there at least once in my life!

Dreams do come true because, at least for me, Disney and Food = Heaven!!!
