There’s a game a group of guys can play in the Kissimmee area. It’s not official. It’s not endorsed. It’s not promoted. But it’s a poorly kept secret. I’m going to whisper it, just once. Ready? *drinking around the world* If you’ve never visited the World Showcase at Epcot in Walt Disney World, you’re in [...]
One of my favorite parts of Hollywood Studios is the Star Wars set, where you can see a giant AT-AT walker, ride a mock space shuttle, and watch a team of young padawans battle Darth Vader. Although we couldn’t make time for the ride, because my son is a huge star wars fan, I couldn’t [...]
Well, we’ve officially completed the 4 day SeaWorld/Disney marathon, and boy was it a memorable experience. Although we’ll certainly remember the misery of walking 12 hours/day and being hotter than we’ve ever been, I can guarantee you it will be overshadowed by memories of our children smiling, of exhilerating roller coaster experiences, and of hilarious [...]
Our kids love Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom, but Epcot is a parent’s dream. It’s usually less crowded, so there’s more room to meander around, the rides are much closer together, so there’s less walking, and the World Showcase is an awesome time for shopping, drinking, and eating.
Disney World is one of those places that reminds that you’re never quite “grown up” all the way and that sometimes, it’s fun to embrace it. After a great day at SeaWorld, we decided to dive headfirst into the Disney Experience, starting with the Magic Kingdom.
As a family of ocean and wildlife lovers, we’ve always loved SeaWorld because of its exotic motif and the chance to see a wonderful collection of ocean-based wildlife. I mean, where else can you watch 50-100 penguins hang out, pretending to be statues, pet a stingray, or hang out with dolphins and sharks?
I have nothing against Disney. At all. In fact, I have come around to the idea that it may in fact be The Happiest Place On Earth. However, I am not The Richest Woman On Earth, and therefore have to limit my exposure to Disney according to my budgetary constraints. But sometimes you need a [...]
I’m not sure if we could have managed it if our children had been with us, but because it was just the two of us and we had a hotel nearby, we decided to go for it. With just a short nap in between, Jared and I hit two amusement parks in one day.
I’ve lived here three years, and had never been to a water park until this weekend. I tend to prefer lounging by the beach instead of waiting in line for hours to go down a water slide. But this weekend was all about doing things I don’t normally do in Central Florida, so my husband [...]
I’ve always wanted to try boating but have always been a little apprehensive. Perhaps I’ve seen too many episodes of home video shows where you see would-be-captains piloting their vessels right into the path of other boats. Well at Downtown Disney, there is a way that you can dip your toe in the water and give boating [...]
No, you will not find me searching out “fun things to do outside in the summertime in Florida” unless it involves some kind of water activity. So, finding fun activities and attractions that are indoors, away from the sun and rain, is one of my new obsessions. DisneyQuest at Downtown Disney has been around for [...]
One of my favorite places for fun in the sun is Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park. This is the perfect place to relax and have fun! On my day at Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon, I got there right at opening and there was not a cloud in the sky. The perfect day to visit a water [...]
