An Unofficial Universal Orlando Resort Wedding
A traditional wedding can be quite expensive, and from what I’ve heard, stressful. This continues to be true if you’re planning an official theme park wedding! You have to consider a private space, staff, chair set up, dance floor set up, music or entertainment, sound equipment, catering, dessert, and even more. But what if I…

Universal Orlando… But in the Summer
We visited Universal Orlando Resort this June -our first time going in the summer- and it definitely cemented the theory that a theme park during it’s peak season and a theme park during it’s off season are very different experiences. This leaves one to wonder… When should you visit Universal Orlando? Positives of visiting during…

What I Ate in Disneyland & Disney California Adventure
As you may have gleaned from the title, I recently visited West Coast Disney! It was my first time there, and was really exciting. Have to love the charm of Disneyland- it has a special, extra-magical vibe. Knowing it was the first Disney park and the only Disney park who’s streets were ever walked by…

What I Ate for Breakfast in Disney World
Disney World is home to some unique breakfast items as well as the classic stuff. On my recent trip in November, I tried some new things! Here’s what we had and what we thought. Having not yet seen Galaxy’s Edge, that was of course our first stop of the trip, so it’s where we had…

Over-Rated Theme Park Snacks :/
I love theme park food. Obviously! And I’d wager a bet you do too. However… not every offering is a smash hit. Here are a few snacks and treats, at Walt Disney World and Universal, that I think are less worth it than others. First up is the highly-rated Central Park Crepes in Universal Studios…

Universal Studios Florida Mardi Gras Snacks
I have just returned from experiencing my first Universal Mardi Gras! It was such a blast. Mardi Gras season is apparently just as big of a deal at Universal as the holiday season, and the festivities run from February 5th to April 24th this year. I’m not usually a parade person, but am so glad…

Keep reading to check out updates and my experience with the Velocicoaster, the Halloween Tribute Store, some passholder-exclusive eats…

Update Update!
Heylo! Welcome back (or if you haven’t been here before, welcome welcome)! I have a few updates to share, which is always fun. Well, some of them are fun, others less fun. Such is life. Most excitingly- I have two trips booked! Both to Florida. Definitely hoping to visit another state at the beginning of…

Universal Orlando Annual Passes (!)
First off, exciting news. We got Universal Orlando Resort Annual Passes! We’re definitely going down in November when we have a weeklong trip planned and will visit Disney as well, but I’m hoping to go to Universal a bit sooner too. I’m hoping for August, so we can get our passes and get a ride…

Where We Ate Chicago Classics
Long time no see. That’s the pattern. I say it every time, but life’s been busy! This time it’s that we just moved (into a house!) and it’s been wild unpacking and upgrading and all of that. I also started a new job the same week (as a full time copywriter!), plus my personal computer…
