The Orlando Informer Meetup has carved out a reputation as one of the most efficient ways to experience the original Universal Orlando Resort theme parks, pairing limited-capacity attendance with after-hours access to Universal Studios Florida and Universal Islands of Adventure. Guests are able to enjoy more than thirty unique attractions across the two participating properties, and will likely struggle to do it all!
The Efteling is generally known as a family-friendly theme park in the Netherlands, but a handful of the Efteling’s attractions offer a more thrilling ride experience. As of early 2026, thrill-seekers and coaster enthusiasts can claim eight unique ‘coaster credits’ across the park, and we’re ranking all eight of them based on our own ride experiences!
After visiting the Efteling in Kaatsheuvel (Netherlands) in the summer of 2023, we were quick to fall in love with this charming Dutch theme park. But as the temperatures drop and the sky clouds over, will the winter experience be able to hold a candle to the summer experience? We made a glorious return to the Efteling this past November with the goal of answering that very question.
A’DAM LOOKOUT delivers sweeping skyline views, a record-breaking swing and reliably delicious food in the heart of Amsterdam. Here’s why we think this towering tourist attraction is worth a visit during your next trip to the Netherlands!
The Efteling offers several different kinds of hotel and resort accommodations for the overnight guest, so what is it that makes the Efteling Bosrijk such a popular stay? Cozy cabins, rustic theming, great food and a storybook sense of place make Bosrijk far more magical than its price point suggests.
Markoff’s Haunted Forest is renowned for the legendary degree of immersion that the haunted attraction offers during the month of October, but after decades of delivering a world-class haunt experience, Nick and Mary Markoff felt that something was missing. Mere months later, Markoff’s Christmas Farm was born.
Every winter for the past fourteen years, the historic city of Amsterdam has been transformed into an open-air art gallery. The Amsterdam Light Festival commissions installations from a diverse group of artists from around the world, which then go to become public displays throughout the city during the event - and when the sun sets, these exhibits come to life with stunning lights, projections, colors and reflections.
Planning a trip to Cologne? We recently spent a day in one of German’s largest and best-known cities, and with dozens of attractions and cultural touchpoints like Kölner Dom, Rhine River cruises, fragrance history, and a chocolate museum with functional production lines, there is no shortage of things to do during your visit!
Step inside Phantasialand’s Hotel Charles Lindbergh and explore the steampunk world of Rookburgh! Your stay includes exclusive park access, fine dining, private lounges and front-of-line priority for the F.L.Y. roller coaster. We’ve done a full writeup on everything you need to know before booking at one of the best-themed and most immersive resort hotels in the world!
Phantasialand is a world built on imagination, detail and heart. Every corner overflows with creativity, every realm feels alive and every moment pulls you deeper into its magic. It’s the kind of place that makes you believe in wonder all over again - here’s why we think it should be on your theme park bucket list!
We went out to Six Flags Great Adventure to check out the inaugural DC Heroes & Villains Fest. This special, limited-time event features a character cavalcade, live shows and performances, themed food and meet-and-greets with heroes and villains from the DC Universe. Here’s why we think this event is worth an annual renewal!
Rulantica, Europa-Park’s massive indoor–outdoor water world in Rust, Germany, spans 97,000 square feet and boasts over 20 water-based attractions. Well known as one of the best waterparks in the entire world, this immersive waterpark blends Nordic myths with family fun, promising thrilling slides, thematic river runs and heated pools every day of the year.
After years of being told that Europa-Park in Rust, Germany was one of the best theme parks in the world, we finally decided to check it out for ourselves. With the help of an app and a new friend, we set out to explore everything there was to see and do in this massive European park over the course of three glorious days!
The National Aquarium in Baltimore houses more than 20,000 animals representing over 750 species and is one of the most visited aquariums in the United States. The aquarium allows guests to follow the journey of water from the mountains to the forest and back again in a linear experience that is equal parts relaxing and enlightening.
Busch Gardens’ Platinum Membership includes admission to Water Country USA, and we usually try to visit Williamsburg’s top waterpark in early June for lighter crowds and warmer temperatures. This time, we were ambushed by an unexpected cold front. So, the question becomes…is an outdoor water park still enjoyable when the mercury drops?
This Spring, Busch Gardens Williamsburg once again welcomed guests to its annual Food & Wine Festival, a popular seasonal event featuring a diverse range of global cuisine, live performances, and access to the park’s acclaimed thrill rides. The festival runs until June 22 this year, giving guests an extra long window to taste some of the park’s specialty dishes from around the world.
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. With a limited amount of time in each park, we are often willing to splurge for the privilege of skipping the lines...but nothing compares to the VIP Experience at Universal Studios Hollywood. Was it worth $349/person?
April 2025 saw our return to the Walter E. Washington Convention Center for another year of Awesome Con, Washington DC’s biggest celebration of comics, pop culture and all things geek chic. A regular event for more than a decade, this convention has become something of an annual tradition for us; and we couldn’t have been more excited to dive back into the the atmosphere, the exhibitors, the cosplay, and everything else that makes Awesome Con awesome!
There’s quite a few great pizzerias out there, and the odds are pretty good that you’ll stumble across one or two of them in your lifetime…but have you ever stumbled across a horror-centric pizzeria where Halloween is celebrated every day? Enter Nicolosi’s Pizzeria & Restaurant, an Italian venue heavily themed around the iconic horror movies that defined the industry!
There’s something extra magical about Disneyland during the Halloween season - and staying on property makes that magic feel even more immersive. We spent ten nights at the Disneyland Hotel this past October, and if you’re contemplating a spooky stay at Walt’s original Disney resort, we’ve set out to make your job easier with this comprehensive guide!
