For years SeaWorld Orlando has offered another not-so-scary event for the Halloween season. It’s known as SeaWorld Spooktacular. It is not nearly as grand as Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, but it’s still a lot of fun for the little ones. As a SeaWorld Annual Passholder, I decided to visit on September 19, which was the first day. I’ve been many ...

Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is not taking place in 2020, but that doesn’t mean that there is no fall fun this year. The season has arrived at the Magic Kingdom. Like many things, the celebration is scaled back, but there is plenty of spooky magic to be found.   On September 15, I was invited to attend a morning media ...

I’m a longtime Passholder with the company, and I was itching to drive to Tampa to see how things were handled. Busch Gardens didn’t receive great reports for the first few days, so I decided to wait ...

Spending my birthday at Walt Disney World is one of my favorite traditions. I enjoy picking the park weeks in advance, seeing what I can get for FastPass+ reservations, and finding the perfect place to dine. Even before we moved to Florida, my family and I would head to a local theme park for the day each year when my ...
