The brand new Crayola Experience is easy to spot at The Florida Mall. Just look for the colorful walls and giant crayons. The Crayola Experience is a 70,000 square feet indoor attraction that has 25 hands-on activities for children and adults. Activities range from coloring to interactive technology games. The kids and I recently received free…
Some times it’s easy to forget there is more to Orlando and Central Florida than theme parks. Central Florida is full of wonderful outdoor adventures. Gliding along the marsh in an airboat is probably one of the best outdoor adventures around. Recently my family went on an airboat adventure at Airboat Rides at Midway. My 9 year…
Over the weekend the family and I went to Light Up the Wild Moss Park. I believe 2013 was the first year for the event. Hopefully this event will become a holiday tradition for us as we also went last year. This year the lights were bigger, brighter and better than ever! Where: Moss Park, 12901 Moss Park…

Theme parks are full of people. Sometimes they are very crowded. Sometimes they are less crowded. I’ve always wondered what it would be like to be the only family in the park. It’s probably never going to happen. But there were two moments this year that gave me a small glimpse of what it must feel…
My family loves The Simpsons. We have been watching #EverySimpsonsEver on FXX. Watching all these great Simpsons episodes has inspired me to put together a short blog post on Springfield at Universal Studios. Here’s my Universal Studios Simpson tribute. The best part is the fun food. You can actually order a Duff beer or you…
My oldest son and I finally went to Diagon Alley this week. Currently summer time temps in Orlando are in the 90’s. We decided to take a quick trip during the evening to avoid the heat. We got there around 7:00 pm and stayed until closing. Here’s how we made the most of our short…

Recently I was glancing at the show schedule for SeaWorld and noticed that the “Elmo Rocks” show is back. It looks like the show starts March 22 and runs daily for a few weeks. It doesn’t list an end date on the SeaWorld website but my guess is that it will only be seasonal to…
