Completing the Disney "4 Parks in 1 Day Challenge" Plus Summer Survival Tips (Disney Friends Blog Hop)

August 5, 2019

It is time for another Disney Friends Blog Hop! The theme for this month is “Summer”. We weren’t super sure what to write about as we had never actually been to Walt Disney World during the summer season (hard to believe right?). But that fact has recently changed. Since we moved to the Orlando area, it was a no brainer for us to become Disney Annual Pass (AP) holders. We decided to celebrate acquiring those little yellow cards by taking on a little bit of a crazy challenge: hitting all four parks in one day….in the middle of summer. Read on to hear about our long day and for a few of our tips for surviving the heat… (Also make sure to check below for a list of other fun Disney blogs in this hop to go check out!)

Seeing a Concert at House of Blues Orlando in Disney Springs

June 25, 2019

So in the middle of our crazy move we decided to add on one more activity that we couldn’t resist. Andrew noticed one of our favorite bands would be in Orlando the same weekend we would be moving to the area. The venue they were playing at? House of Blues in Disney Springs. We had always seen House of Blues at the West end of the shopping district, but neither of us had actually been over to check it out. This sounded like the perfect opportunity to see what this intimate venue was all about. Read on to hear about our fun night out…

"Finding Neverland" Brings Some Magic to DC: A Broadway Musical Review

February 27, 2019

Last night we went out on a Tuesday to attend opening night of Finding Neverland, a hit Broadway musical now touring across the country. (A big thank you to the National Theatre in D.C. who graciously provided us with tickets to see the show!) The story is about playwright J.M. Barrie and the family that inspired him to create Peter Pan. We didn’t quite know what to expect, but had heard it was award-winning and figured it would certainly have some magical moments, given the source material. Read on to hear a bit more about the show and for our thoughts….

Will you get a free ride to see this pair and many more favorite friends?

"Disney On Ice presents Worlds of Enchantment" is Skating into Baltimore and DC Next Month! (Plus Coupon Code & Ticket Giveaway!)

January 9, 2019

Most people have probably figured out by now that we are big fans of Disney branded entertainment. Whether a Disney movie, a Broadway play, or an in-park show we always find the performance quality to be top notch and all the creativity put into the show is super impressive. One show that most people assume is just for kids, we as adults actually love… Disney On Ice! This ice show comes to town a couple times of year and we think it is a great way to get a little dose of Disney magic when your next trip is a bit too far away. We make a date night out of it and grab dinner then catch the show to enjoy the ice dancing, music, and seeing favorite characters. Read on for upcoming show info and a coupon for tickets!

Our narrator for the evening was actor Alfonso Riberio.

Holiday Dining Package Review: Epcot's Candlelight Processional & San Angel Inn in Mexico

December 28, 2018

Every year as part of the Epcot International Festival of the Holidays, the American Gardens Theater hosts the traditional Candlelight Processional. On select nights, this hour long performance includes the telling of the Christmas story by a celebrity narrator, a 50 piece orchestra, and a full choir. This is a free event for anyone with park entrance, however the standby lines can get crazy long. This year we decided to book the Candlelight Processional Dining Package to avoid lines and get reserved seating to the show. Keep on reading for a review of our experience and our thoughts on if the package purchase was a good value.

Reasons We Love Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party (plus 10 tips!)

December 13, 2018

When we traveled to Walt Disney World a couple of years ago during the holiday season we had such a fantastic time that we decided to plan to visit again this year! One of the highlights for us during this time is attending Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party (MVMCP). This is a an after hours special event (just like Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party), and while a party like this may sound like it’s just for kids, we actually think it’s an even better event for adults with later hours (and the perfect way to kick off the holiday season!). So read on for our reasons MVMCP is a must do (and a few planning tips!).

5 Things We Learned at Epcot's International Food & Wine Festival as First Time Visitors

November 5, 2018

After all the years visiting Walt Disney World, we had actually never made it to Epcot’s International Food and Wine Festival. Recently some work travel popped up for Andrew in Orlando, and we decided to plan a quick weekend trip. After a late night at Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party we woke up on Saturday to head over and check out the festival. It was an unusually hot day, but beautiful and sunny. We weren’t sure what to expect but made sure to show up hungry. Read on for a recap of our day, plenty of foodie pics, and five main lessons learned...
