WDW Splitsville Luxury bowl & dine

Disney World in Orlando has a Downtown Disney Marketplace that hosts a Splitsville. It's a high-end bowling alley that is one that is beyond your neighborhood lanes. 


The food is designer and since it's in Disney there are a few Mickey heads that you'll catch around the 3-story lanes.

Don't forget your wallet, this place is truly a luxury with Loaded Fries for $10 and a Volcano sushi roll for $15. An hour of bowling will range from $15 to $20.

If you just want to walk around and check it out they'll let you do that too, so check it out the next time you're on the West Side of Downtown Disney in Orlando, Florida.

I can't help it, I may not like the scary Disney movies but I do love the parks. Disney Imagineers at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida provide an inside guide to the Magic Kingdom's newest themed restaurant, Be Our Guest, based on the award winning movie, 'Beauty and the Beast'. There's also a walk-up food area that is open at select times. Ask a cast member near the entrance of how to go in and see what's there and if you wish to dine there, make reservations well in advance of arriving.

Street Food: Thailand - Veggies in Broth

Street Food in Bangkok, Thailand - Veggie Soup?

I love to travel, no matter if we're in or out of the country, there's always something interesting to see, smell and taste. On a brief day stopover in Bangkok, Thailand we were able to see much of the people out and about, especially during lunch when the street food vendors were their busiest. The colors, sights and aromas of the area were alive and tingling to the senses.

I'm not quite sure what this woman was cooking in this large pot, but from the items on her table it seemed to be a vegetable broth soup. The food vendor added sprouts and other fresh veggies to a bowl and then topped it with the broth.

Street Food: Bangkok, Thailand Pancakes

Street food in Bangkok, Thailand - she's making cute little pancakes.

This is one of my favorite photo of street food life. I'm always fascinated by different foods and cultures, especially in foreign countries, where there are many more street vendors lining the side walks and along the road. When traveling, we're always advised not to eat the street food, no matter how good it looks - well you can imagine the less than sanitary standards that the US has. I need to look for the picture of the people in India who like many third world countries use their waterways for everyday uses - including washing, bathing, and rinsing out your bowl/utensils that they serve you with.
