We made the Disney's Beignet recipe that Port Orleans French offers by Dealing with Disney

So Disney's Port Orlean's French Quarter Resort offers up these amazing Beignets within their food court.
(they do stop selling them at 3pm however!)

Deep fried Dough topped with mounds of confectionary sugar.
depending on season, they will offer a special flavor twist to the serving.

They are Similar but better to a funnel cake. They are typically square in shape but Disney offers their own version of mickey head ones.

These famous delights are a specialty in New Orleans. I was lucky enough to try them first hand at The Famous Cafe Du Monde -incredible.

When Disney posted their recipes during quarantine, I just had to try!

Well... success but not as good. I feel they left out an ingredient on purpose lol.. Just to show how much better theirs are.

My batch turned out good just not quite as sweet. Ours were not covered in the sugar however.

Few things to think about.
It is time consuming for this recipe.
It will take about 2.5 hours or more

It will make a large portion so we ended up throwing away a good bit BUT on flip side we also had some extra for trial and error with the frying part. We did save a couple but they just don't save the best in general.

The mixing of the ingredients was easy.
The rolling & cutting was easy.
I did have a small mickey bowl -I made most of the squares but a couple in mickey heads. They were a little tricky to cook however. 

The frying part was ok.
I get scared with grease. It is a 'me' thing.

We would drop one in and it would quickly sink.
If it is proper temperature it would float back up fairly soon, few seconds.
The dough would sort of balloon up while frying, turn in a minute or so once the the bottom side slightly browns. Watch it for another minute or so for the other side to slightly brown.

It said to get a plate with paper towels to place on once out of fryer. I did that at first but then I just dumped a good bit of the confectionary sugar on the plate so I would immediately place beignet on sugar instead -flip if and sugar it again.

They were good!!! Definitely something to do again but with a larger group!

virtual Run Disney review from Dealing with Disney

I decided to finally see what the virtual Disney Runs were all about. A friend of mine told me she signed up. She wanted to keep her momentum going which inspired me to look into as well. I have learned to love the Run Disney events. It appears they offer seasonal Virtual events options from the Run Disney website. (see link HERE ) There were 3 races available to choose from or a full circuit registration containing all 3 races. This came with a bonus medal as well.  Each event was $45.00 and the combined package was $145.00. This was more $$ obviously but ok, I can see they have added in the cost of the extra medal you earn. What does this get me or should I say, what do I get out of this event? I can see the Disney love of just doing it for Disney,  doing it for the medal or doing it to keep momentum of working towards goals. All options seemed very reasonable to me and got me excited, therefore I signed up for the gauntlet. My friend pointed out her whole family

Walt Disney World Halloween 2020 re-opening experiences by Dealing with Disney

My review from my latest Disney world experience.   This trip was definitely not one of my favorites! Before you read all my cons.. .Keep  in mind, I still enjoyed this trip.  The main point of this is to have proper expectation for your needs/stay. If you go into a park without proper expectation, it can really throw your trip OFF!  We had some great moments. We had some rest spots - drinks - treats which were nice.   One amazing PLUS: The security checks are a breeze now! No lie.. their big concern are umbrellas and water bottles (metal ones) tend to set off the machines. They ask for those to be pulled out of back packs but all other items you can walk through with!  I loved still having the time to appreciate the little things in the park that we take for granted. The craftsmanship in all the art around the park/architecture , the plant life every where!   I will be honest, part of the reason was due to my own family! Hey, I always like to keep It real-in perspective we shall say.
