We’ve been to a lot of theme parks all over the world, so we know better than most that time is often quite literally money.

Was it worth $349/person?

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!
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!

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 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!
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!
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!
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!
Each year brings new treats, sweets and savory food items to Hersheypark, and it’s become a tradition of ours to take a little stroll through our home park and pick up some of the new and interesting culinary creations to see what we think. This year, we also upgraded to the brand new Giant Size passholder tier, so we had a one-time fast track to use on any eligible ride as well as the new Giant Size lounge to check out!
