Since moving to Orlando, we have been branching out and looking to experience everything Walt Disney World has to offer outside of the parks. Recently, we gifted Andrew’s Dad with a fishing excursion at Walt Disney World in Bay Lake and Seven Seas Lagoon. Walt Disney World offers multiple fishing excursions including dockside fishing at Port Orleans Riverside and Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground. Guests can also experience fishing off a boat on Bay Lake and Seven Seas Lagoon, Village Lake, Crescent Lake and World Showcase Lagoon…

Our Orlando Helicopter Tour Review: A Bird’s-Eye View of the Theme Parks!
While we are pretty familiar with most major Orlando attractions, this week we got to see them from a whole new perspective: from 700 feet above the ground! We booked an adventure with a local Helicopter tour company thanks to Andrew’s family getting him a gift certificate for his birthday. Fun fact: while Andrew has his pilot’s license (make sure to check out some of our articles about flying too!) he has never been in a helicopter before and was pretty excited. Read on to learn more about this unique experience and check out plenty of our views of the parks from a bird’s eye view…

Our Disneyland Tour Review: A Walk in Walt's Footsteps & His Private Apartment!
Being Disney nerds, we are always interested in special events and behind the scenes offerings at Disney Parks. We really enjoyed the "Keys to the Kingdom" tour at Walt Disney World and decided that for our latest visit to Disneyland we should take advantage of being in such a historic place. “Walk in Walt’s Disneyland Footsteps” is roughly a three hour tour that takes guests through the history of Disneyland and Walt Disney himself. Along with the history of the park, guests experience three attractions without waiting and will also enjoy lunch served at the tour gardens just inside the park near the Main street USA train station. We were lucky enough to book an entire tour time (max of 15 people) for our whole large group. It ended up feeling like a private tour and we were even able to use our Disney Vacation Club discount of 15% off for everyone!
