You’ve gotten past the tough parts- reserving your Orlando vacation and then waiting for it. There’s one more tiny bump, though, before you can leave for your fun, rest, and merrymaking- don’t forget to pack for your vacation! When packing clothing, an easy tip is to fold outfits together. For younger kids, put their shirt, pants, socks, and underwear together in a Ziploc bag- it makes Continue reading Packing For Your Orlando Vacation Here’s an interesting point- you’ve already planned and reserved your Orlando vacation, budgeted the money you save with us on souvenirs and food, and bought the plane tickets… now what? One of the most difficult parts of going on a great Disney, Universal, or SeaWorld vacation is… The Wait. Yep- The Wait is one of the most grueling times before a vacation. You sit and work Continue reading Orlando Vacations – The Dreaded Wait The Olympics are here, and everyone’s mind (and eyes) are on the diverse countries appearing in the games. A great way to experience the international aspect of the Olympics right here in Florida is to go to Disney’s Epcot. The World Showcase features many of the countries competing in this winter’s Olympic games, and the employees are natives from each respective country- why not ask Continue reading Disney Vacations – What Does Epcot Have to Do With the Olympics? Coming to Orlando for a weekend? On a budget? Maybe you’ve already visited Disney World and Universal Orlando Escape? Well, the two parks often overshadow many of Orlando’s other attractions- such as the popular sea-themed park, SeaWorld.

Let’s face it- theme parks can be expensive. But the biggest expense is, surprisingly, not always the admission tickets- it’s what you buy inside the parks that start hurting your wallet. I covered the largest in-park expense before- bottled water. This time I’ll comer the second biggest expense and ways to save money. The second biggest expense, hands down, is eating at the theme parks. It isn’t Continue reading Orlando Vacations – Saving Money by Bringing Your Own Lunch Are you getting the most from your Orlando vacation?

Even with higher ticket prices, fans are sure to swarm the doors on opening day. Are you going to be one of those fans? To make sure you’re in the mood for a day in Harry Potter land, we have Continue reading Universal Orlando – The Harry Potter Mood Universal Orlando recently raised the price of its 2-park 7-day ticket from $99 to $170 (adult price). Reports state that Universal is following a popular ticketing structure in which more days cost less money. This is designed to drive visitors to spend more time at Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, and Citywalk- which does not charge admission and is located as a walkway between both Continue reading Universal Orlando – Universal Raises Ticket Prices In my last post, I covered manners for shows. This time let’s focus on a similar phenomenon: loss of common sense during parades. As a little girl, adults always let me in front of them to watch my favorite Disney or Universal characters during parades. These days I watch children struggling to see because an entitled stranger refuses to allow them in front. Now, there’s no Continue reading Orlando Vacations – Manners Please! Part 2 We all want to be kids again, with the plus of being an adult- wild, free, fun-loving being with no rules who can eat ice-cream for dinner if we want to.
