I just had the best weekend ever. The weather was beautiful (it’s snowing now, but let’s not dwell on that), I got in a ton of walking time, rode some fun rides, saw a couple of shows, smelled some lovely spring flowers, met the most adorable puppies on earth and learned about a really cool […]

Celebrate Your Super Disney Side with a Walt Disney World Vacation in 2014
02/13/2014 by
My favorite Super Bowl ad is always the one where some revered player says “I’m going to Disney World! (or Land as the case may be). The folks at Disney sure know what they’re doing because that is always the time of year that I most want to be in a Disney park or resort. […]

PEEPS Dessert Recipes from Great Wolf Lodge
12/19/2013 by
It’s just not a holiday until the PEEPS® come out. Those sweet, cute, and incredibly yummy marshmallows themed to every special day from Easter, Valentine’s Day, and Halloween to Thanksgiving and Christmas have been making the world a happier place since 1953. I’ve even seen 4th of July PEEPS® … or perhaps that was just my wishful […]
Waterpark Recap: Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon
12/11/2013 by
In all the years that we’ve made the migration to Walt Disney World (starting before the child was even born), and trekked our way around all of the parks many times over, we’ve never been to any of the water parks. On last summer’s trip to the Sunshine State, we decided to amend this overt […]

Ocean Spray brings its bog to the 2013 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival
10/08/2013 by
I’ve had a craving for cranberries for as long as I can remember. Always my favorite food at Thanksgiving, it took me a while to figure out that you can buy cranberry sauce year-round (I’m sort of a slow learner), but once I did, I ate the stuff constantly (just ask my roommates). That was […]
Howl-O-Scream 2013: Busch Gardens ups the ante for Halloween events everywhere
09/20/2013 by
How do you take an already great Halloween event and make it even better? If you’re an ordinary theme park, you add themed dining to the venue and call it a day. If you’re Busch Gardens, you add themed dining and insert amazingly talented actors into it for an extraordinary dinner theatre experience. Oh, […]
Busch Gardens’ Howl-O-Scream 2013: The Story of Ripper Row
09/09/2013 by
I love a good storyline. Whether it’s a movie, a themed restaurant or the completely immersive feel of a well set theme park, the story behind the setting is almost as good as the activity, situation or event itself. Busch Gardens Williamsburg does a great job with the settings of their European villages and depictions […]

If you haven’t heard by now, there is big news coming out of Universal Studios Orlando. And its initials are not H.P. this time. Springfield, home to America’s favorite wisecracking, slacking and beer drinking animated family, is coming to life at Universal Orlando. Guests to Universal Studios will soon be able to walk the streets […]
