Solo Review by Star Wars Newbie

Movie Reviews Uncategorized

I'm always one to try new things, and this was a new one for me. I'll be honest, I've never seen a full Star Wars film until last week during the premiere of Solo. I was both nervous I wouldn't understand the plot or story or I would be bored out of my mind. Luckily, I was pleasantly surprised to fine it both entertaining and easy to follow.  …

Is Celebration Florida Your Cup of Tea?

Disney Florida Life Like a Local Travel

For many first time visitors to the Town of Celebration, they aren’t quite sure what to make of it. White picket fences, perfectly manicured lawns, families on evening bike rides, it sounds ideal, doesn’t it? If you like living on a movie set, or as many refer to it, The Stepford Wives. You have to remember though, the Town of Celebration was built by the Walt Disney World Company back in the 90’s, and what is Disney if not the…

Disney Florida Life Like a Local Travel

In my last post, I listed some of my favorite fall events and festivities in Orlando, one of them being Epcot International Food and Wine Festival. If you’ve been to this event, or just attempted to eat and drink around the world, you probably noticed how popular it is among the bachelor and bachelorette parties. Well, I was one of those a few weeks ago. Seems like nowadays you can’t go to Epcot Food and Wine without making some sort…

Festive Fall Events in Orlando, Florida

Disney Florida Life Like a Local Travel Universal Orlando

What does Fall mean to me? Crisp air, falling leaves and cozy blankets. Unfortunately, Florida doesn’t lend itself to these luxuries very often.  In fact, the first Florida “fall front” blew through earlier this week and the temperatures finally fell from the high 90’s to low 80’s (we’re even going to drop to 70’s next week!!!!!). So, while I would love to believe we would have a cool fall season, it likely won’t happen, so fall to me includes theme…

Walkers, Weddings and Wine

Life

While I’m excited it’s the weekend, I’m a little nervous for what’s to come. I mean there’s the usual errands and cleaning to do, but come Sunday night around 9 o’clock, it will be that time when my heart is once again ripped from my chest. I’m still trying to catch up after the emotional overload that was last weekend. First of all, The Walking Dead…I wore black on Monday for a reason. After 7 seasons, these characters have become…

Disney Florida Life Like a Local Travel

You know it’s October in Orlando when all your friends Facebook check-ins are at Epcot Food and Wine Festival.  It’s where every local spends their weekends, and their paychecks.  It doesn’t matter how crowded, how hot or how many hours it takes to find your car at the end of the day, every one is going to do it.  Based on my Facebook, at least 75% of my friends are at Epcot today and a few more headed there now.  After I finish…
