Hello there! I'm Kathy Penney. Welcome to Penney Lane! The residents of Penney Lane include yours truly, my husband of 15 years from Ireland, two kiddos, and two good luck black cats. I'm a former Disney cast member but lifelong Disney lover. I'm also a travel agent and blogger since 2013. Here at Penney Lane you'll find me sharing three of my passions: family tavel (heavy on the Disney), easy recipes (cooking school grad here but empasis on the easy), and saving money (but getting more for your dollar) with some of our story thrown in. Take a stroll down Penney Lane with me.

I want to be helpful to my friends and followers during this crazy time. As appropriate I will share some travel content but I thought I’d put back on my cooking school grad and home chef hat to help out when we are all trying to make the most of what’s in our pantry.
In this episode of Quarantine Kitchen I made Sausage Pasta using leftover bow tie pasta from last night and some hot links I had in the fridge.
Chop hot links into bite size pieces. I used 3 links.
Brown in a large skillet.
Add left over pasta. I sprayed a bit of olive oil on the pasta to help it separate and avoid sticking. Stir well to separate evenly.
As the pasta warms drain one can of English peas with onions and mushrooms. Can use frozen if you prefer. Add to the pasta and hot links.i
Drain one can of Rotel and add to the dish.
Sprinkle in red pepper flakes and garlic salt to desired taste.
Stir well.
Add Parmesan (I used about half a cup) and stir in to melt.
Let heat for about 10 minutes and finish with Parmesan on top.

Super easy dish that’s full of flavor with a little added kick and uses up what a lot of us have on hand right now. You could also use Italian sausage or chicken if that’s what you have.
Quarantine doesn’t have to mean all ramen noodles all the time. 😀 But I do like ramen noodles. I said what I said. 🤷‍♀️😂😂 #quarantinekitchen #quarantinelife #stayhome #pantrychallenge #choppedhomeedition #easyrecipes #covid_19 #quarantinediaries

We are in the process of building a house and I stalk, er, I mean monitor them progress a few times per week. I have loved watching a field of grass turn into a home that we will be in for years to come. Shutters and fence are new. They cleared the debri to get ready for the driveway. Slightly disappointed they removed the sweet turquoise “fourth bathroom”, Cousin Eddie approved that’s been at the end of the driveway for the last month. 😂😂 🏡

Kachow! We decided we we wanted more space and upgraded our standard room at Art of Animation to a Cars Family Suite. We fell in love with the extra room of suites when we stayed at the Nemo ones a few trips ago and can’t wait to be residents of Radiator Springs this summer. Not related who do my kids think they are growing so much since this photo? #artofanimation #artofanimationresort #radiatorsprings

Did you see the new work up for the upcoming makeover of Cinderella Castle? It’s absolutely stunning! I can’t wait to see the progress on our June trip but this image will always have a special place in my heart because it’s the way I saw it that magical first walk down Main Street USA. #disneynews #cinderellacastle #mainstreetusa

Tink says it’s exactly 💯 days until we are “home” again. Took advantage of the same Sun and Fun offer I’ve been helping my clients with. Our beloved Art of Animation has a room waiting on us! Disney lovers, when is your next trip home? #sundayfunday #magickingdom #artofanimationresort

I love when worlds collide! Today I attended my first event as a professional #travelagent, a fun and informative lunch and learn by the awesome group of people at #PTANAHouston. Who do I run into? A representative from @beachesresorts my favorite destination I visited as a #travelblogger when I twice had the honor of being selected for #beachesmoms Social Media on the Sand Conference. And what a warm and welcoming group @ptanahouston of Houston were and Norrell had everyone wanting to visit and sell @antiguaandbarbuda after his presentation. #travelgram #loveantiguabarbuda #beachesresorts #caribbeantravel #instatravel

My kids can keep all the roller coasters. This grown woman will ride Dumbo looking like Adam Sandler in Billy Madison down front in kindergarten with all the kids. 🙋‍♀️🤣🤣 #dumbo #nevergrowup #favoritethings

Ian can braid Caitlin’s hair and my clumsy hands can’t and never could braid. She brings her play styling tools and haircut menu she made with crayons to him and they play. At first I felt left out but then I realized it’s their thing that she’s going to remember with love and fondness as an adult and I don’t need to be in this one. I realized she has something I didn’t have growing up: a pretty amazing #girldad #disneydad

There was no way my personal hero @dollyparton was going to issue a challenge and I not participate. I did it #disneystyle of course. 😀 But y’all I’ve been married since Tinder was something you used to light an actual not metaphorical fire so you’re gonna have to give me a pass there. We are OG Match dot com people. 😂😂 #dollypartonchallenge

Did you see the announcements out of @waltdisneywo

Did you see the announcements out of @waltdisneyworld today? It was good news and bad news. The good news was that FastPass+ is now available for Smugglers Run in #starwarsgalaxysedge for guests arriving February 19th. We got to experience it on our trip at Christmas and it’s one of the coolest rides I’ve done at Walt Disney World. Definitely great news to be able to secure a FastPass+! But I’m sad to see that Pirates League in Adventureland will be permanently closing after July. This was such a great alternative to Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique for anyone who preferred pirates or mermaids. My son had the best time getting his makeover and taking the pirate oath. Do you think they will replace it with something? Star Wars makeovers? Marvel makeovers? #disneyworld

Fireworks and desserts never get old, am I right?

Fireworks and desserts never get old, am I right? It is one of my favorite things at @waltdisneyworld We’ve done Wishes and then now Happily Ever After several times and Jingle Bam once. It’s our favorite grand finale to a trip. Your own seat for the fireworks (not at Jingle Bam though) and all the desserts you can fit in your face are pixie dust heaven. And now if they will ever open the dates for my trip, we’d like to do Frozen Ever After. I’m stalking the reservations every day like 👀. #magickingdom #disneydesserts #happilyeverafter

We love you, silly old bear. Happy #winniethepooh

We love you, silly old bear. Happy #winniethepooh day. He and the 100 Acre Wood gang were my favorites as a kid and now The Crystal Palace is one of my favorite places to dine at @waltdisneyworld The food is delicious and it’s one of the prettiest places to dine at The Happiest Place on Earth. So bright and pretty and full of topiaries of Pooh and friends.

#starwarsgalaxysedge day all around this Friday! Opening day for #riseoftheresistance at #disneylandcalifornia Were you there? Did you get a boarding group? Check out my friend @fairytalemindy who was there and did get a boarding group for all the first hand scoop. Meanwhile in Orlando at #hollywoodstudios my very first client did everything we discussed in preparation for her trip and y’all I was seal clapping happy when she messaged that her family got boarding group 23. All our strategizing paid off! 🙌🏻. This is why am loving what I do. Someone’s 50th birthday dream made with the plan we came up with. Though we have been to Galaxy’s Edge we have not ridden ROTR yet ourselves as when we were there at Christmas all the 4am madness was stop in full effect and I thought that would be too much for my son with autism. But we will catch you in June! Off topic but does anyone else’s kids make the weirdest faces when you only get once chance for a photo? 🤔 No? Just me. 🤣🤣

We’ve got you in our core memories, Sadness and we hope once all the changes are done at Epcot you will be back giving the best hugs. Sadness and all the Inside Out characters mean so much to kids like Ethan. The Zones of Regulation method the characters are based on make emotions easier for kids with autism to identify. Sadness is an integral part of that. Sad about Sadness saying goodbye for now. #epcot #epcotcharacterspot #insideout #autismfamily

Some of my favorite memories will forever be chubby little arms stretched “thiiiiss big” meeting Minnie for the first time. #minniemonday #minniemouse #magicalmemories

Our #disneyfamily has never met a character meal we didn’t like but #akershus in #epcot is quite possibly my favorite. So many #disneyprincesses in one place including harder to find ones like Belle and Mulan plus unique and gorgeous food. What’s your favorite #disneycharacter dining?

#throwbackthursday to three weeks ago and Christmas in #toystoryland You can do a throwback to only three weeks ago right? 🤔 😂😂 June can’t get here soon enough so we can go back “home”. When is your next #Disney trip?

#wednesdaywisdom No matter the odds, no matter what others say, believe in yourself. Believe in yourself with the certainty of a five year old trying to pull the sword out of the stone at #magickingdom No matter how big he gets this will forever me one of my favorite photos of my son.
