When you’re a Floridian, there are certain signs fall is here. No, it’s not the crisp air or fallen leaves, but rather the Halloween festivities at the theme parks. Yep, I knew summer was almost at it’s end when I got home from work, on what seemed to be a regular Friday, and changed into my first Halloween costume of the season. I could easy be a character from “A Bug’s Life” which made it perfectly fitting for trick-or-treating at…

Disney’s done it again…they’ve added a little more magic to my life. It all began on a beautiful morning, beneath the warm Florida sun. I climbed into the backseat of a car, but not just any car, an Amphicar. You may be wondering, what’s an Amphicar. Well, a car-boat would probably be the best way to describe it. Amphicars are able to drive on land and float in water. About 4,000 of these vehicles were manufactured back in the 1960’s…
So, funny story…my fiancé and I decided a couple weeks ago to check out Epcot’s Flower and Garden Festival. We had been once before, of course a week early, so we didn’t have a chance to try any of the fresh food and cocktails available at the outdoor kitchens throughout the park. I had already scoured social media and decided exactly what I wanted to try. Just as we were about to drive through the gates of Epcot, my fiancé…
A view like this is worth waking up early for. Waking up early has never been easy for me, but I can’t complain when my morning consists of gliding across the headwaters of the Everglades on an airboat ride with Marsh Landing Adventures. There is something so relaxing and peaceful about an airboat ride; maybe it’s the fresh air or maybe it’s the spectacular views. Well, no matter what it is, I know that after being on my fair share of…
If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again… That is definitely my plan when it comes to Epcot International Food & Wine Festival. This weekend I ventured forth to conquer the world, but the world kind of conquered me. It was unseasonably hot and the 4-5 drink stops (I can’t really remember) started to do a number on this out-of-practice foodie. I need a little time to warm up, so even though Food & Wine conquered me this time,…
I recently spent a weekend at Westgate Town Center in Kissimmee, Florida. With the variety of activities and things to do at and around the resort, a weekend is just not enough, so I have narrowed it down to my Top Five. 1. Fuel Up with Breakfast Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Fuel up at Drafts Sports Bar and Grill, which features a wonderful breakfast buffet each morning. I’ve never been much of a buffet person, but this is…
This weekend I am heading back to Westgate Resorts, but this time I am staying at Westgate Town Center in Kissimmee, FL, just minutes from Walt Disney World. Westgate is truly the lap of luxury. You have the comforts of home just 5 minutes from Disney, plenty of food options and activities galore. I can’t wait. Before I head off for my relaxing weekend at Westgate, I will be attending a National Tourism Week event in Kissimmee, right down the street from the…
After a wonderful night’s sleep at Westgate Lakes, in Orlando, FL, I was ready to make the most of the day, after my morning cup of coffee, of course. The hardest part was choosing which activities to do. There are a variety of water activities, kids activities, mini-golf, bike rentals and more. But, first things first…breakfast. First stop, Sid’s Deli, in the main lobby. As soon as you walk through the door you can smell the coffee. They were brewing Starbucks…
