One of our favorite places to celebrate the holiday season is Busch Gardens Williamsburg, and we were thrilled to make our return to this award-winning park for Christmas Town 2024. The park boasts over 10 million twinkling lights on display, nearly a dozen live performances, character meets including the jolly ol’ elf himself, all in addition to world-class rides, coasters and experiences!
If you're looking for a unique holiday experience that combines festive cheer with spine-chilling thrills, Field of Screams in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, has you covered! 2024’s event introduced the Haunted Slayride which literally shook up the usual lineup of haunted attractions, adding it to indoor attractions like the Den of Darkness and Frightmare Asylum. Creepy Christmas includes all the traditional spooky elements that Field of Screams is known for, but with a holiday twist!
Season’s Greetings from the Sweetest Place on Earth! We’ve taken to formally kicking off our holiday season with a late November visit to Hersheypark for their annual Christmas Candylane event, and we were excited to continue that tradition this year. Normally, we plan a “snack crawl” that takes us all over the park for both sweet and savory seasonal treats. This year, however, the savory offerings seemed to be more limited…so we instead built an itinerary around the events, the characters and the experiences offered throughout the park.
When we were planning our itinerary for our summer trip to Orlando, Disney’s Hollywood Studios was not on our radar. Although Disney’s Hollywood Studios isn’t our favorite of the four Walt Disney World parks, it does have some of our favorite attractions - including MuppetVision 3D, Tower of Terror, Rise of the Resistance and more…so we were excited to be able to spend an impromptu day at the park!
If you’re a fan of the spooky, the scary or the darkest side of dark chocolate…look no further for your Halloween fix than Hersheypark Dark Nights! This park-hosted scare event delivers a thrilling, immersive experience that has only grown in scale and intensity since its debut. With five haunted houses, including the highly anticipated Estate of Evil, three scare zones and a wide array of seasonal snacks and merchandise, Dark Nights continued to expand and impress in 2024!
Long before we became the tried-and-true haunt enthusiasts that we are today, we had heard more than once about the legendary haunt experience at Pennhurst Asylum in Spring City, PA. After finally visiting this property for the first time this past October, we’re giving you a complete rundown of everything that you need to know to prepare for a future visit of your own!
For nearly three decades, banners saying ‘Halloween Horror Nights’ have been raised at not one but two different theme parks in North America - one in Orlando, FL, and the other in Hollywood, CA. So, which campus puts on the best version of Halloween Horror Nights? To make that determination, let’s take a look at the seven deadly things that make HHN the event that it is on both coasts.
Once per year, one of the oldest amusement parks in the world throws two of the grandest Halloween Parties in the United States. While the park is better known for its Knott’s Scary Farm event, our visit was all about the more family-friendly daytime visit to Knott’s Spooky Farm, and all of the events, experiences and attractions that it offers.
We were invited out to Darkwood Manor, an iconic haunted attraction nestled just outside Shenandoah National Park, to help the team kick off its 2024 haunt season - and were some of the first to square off against the hellscape of the Phantom Forge and the rogue artificial intelligence known only as P.E.G. - an experience we will not soon forget!
Red Vein Haunted House, an independent haunt located on Hanover Vegetable Farm, has been a growing force in Virginia’s haunt scene for nine years. Despite frequently passing through the area, we had never been able to experience Red Vein firsthand until owner and creative architect Ryan Sligh invited us out to help themkick off their 2024 operating season. Having heard nothing but praise from fellow haunters and scare actors, we were eager to see if it lived up to the hype. Spoiler alert: it did!
When checking in to the Hawthorne Hotel, one must be ready for anything and everything that may befall oneself before the sun rises! The 2024 spooky season saw our return to Fright Farm in Smithfield, PA, and this year's new theme of a “Night at the Hawthorne” was worth the ticket price all on its own!
A now-iconic haunt occupying the ruins of the historic Twin Cinema in Laurel, MD, the House of Horror boasts a seasonal staff of more than sixty, and the team has worked around the clock to build, paint, polish and stain each prop, set and dressing to bring a decade of fear to the Baltimore/Washington metro area!
We took on all three ‘Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit’ scavenger hunts across the Disneyland Resort property in Anaheim, CA, and we have a complete list of every pumpkin location for you - complete with photos and helpful tips and tricks!
Field of Screams has really upped their game for 2024, with major construction at the main entrance including an all-new ticket office, updates and new scenes for the four iconic attractions, a VIP and private party venue and a permanent home for the popular ‘Chainsaw Bar’ and so much more!
As the leaves start to change and a crisp breeze settles in, there's no better way for families to welcome the fall season than with a visit to Corn Cob Acres in Mountville, PA. Corn Cob Acres is a family-friendly daytime event that runs on weekends from September through November, offering more than 50 different activities designed to entertain guests of all ages. We were invited out for opening weekend, and we were absolutely blown away by how much there was to do!
A trip to central Florida is not complete without a visit to our favorite Walt Disney World park, Disney’s Animal Kingdom. This visit, we decided to splurge on one of our bucket list DAK experiences…the Wild Africa Trek! This add-on, extra magical VIP experience is a 3-hour behind-the-scenes tour that includes lunch, complimentary experience photos and so much more!
Directly across the street from Seaworld Orlando lies a tropical hideaway where dozens of aquatic and avian animal species are allowed to run, play and interact with guests under the watchful eyes of the resort staff. We had never been to Discovery Cove, an all-inclusive day resort, until the summer of 2024 - and after visiting for the first time, we couldn’t wait to share our experience!
It’s been some time since our last visit to Seaworld Orlando, and despite the bad weather that was brewing, we were determined to make it out to this aqua-mazing park and claim the two brand-new roller coaster credits that lay waiting for us. If you’ve never been to Seaworld Orlando, we’re here to give you a long list of reasons why you should make it a part of your next Central Florida vacation!
We are doing a massive spooky giveaway featuring almost $300’s worth of spooky merchandise from some of our favorite haunts, haunted attractions and spooky small shops! Let’s dive into rules, terms of entry, draw date and - of course - the magnificent grand prize pack!
One does not simply sleep in on the first day of a Walt Disney World vacation; as it happened, we were ready to hit the ground running, and our first gate was the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow…more conventionally known as EPCOT. Joined by our friend Frances, a fellow creator and Florida local, we took on almost every attraction and a number of first-time experiences at this Disney park in one single, perfect day!
