My little shamrocks: Happy St. Patrick’s Day

Momma and Me Matching Style

Roan’s Prime Time Diner
Every trip to Disney World, we eat at the 50’s Prime Time Cafe in Hollywood Studios. The restaurant is a replica of a classic 50’s home, complete with Formica countertops, milkshakes, and your cousin or uncle serving as your waiter or waitress. Your server will instruct you to keep your elbows off the table and you’ll enjoy comfort food while watching 50’s clips on the black and white tv’s.
