Playing FootGolf at Walt Disney World Golf

May 18, 2020

Lately we have been spending some time at the Walt Disney World Golf Courses enjoying some fresh air and sunshine. (You can learn more about Golfing at Walt Disney World in our guide here.) While visiting we learned that WDW Golf offers a slightly different game as well — FootGolf. We had never played before but it sounded fun so we decided to book a tee time to check out this game with a different twist. Read on to learn more…

A Golfer's Guide to Walt Disney World's Courses "The Happiest Place on Turf"

April 7, 2020

When Andrew picked up golf around the age of 14, he instantly fell in love and began to play regularly ever since. While it is a big time hobby for Andrew, Julie also likes to play a little, and a day date on the green is so fun from time to time. One of Andrew’s favorite golf memories was being able to play a round with a group of friends and family at Disney’s Palm the week of our Disney Fairy Tale Wedding. He had been hoping to play a Disney course again, but hadn’t made it back until recently as a newly minted local.

Known as “The Happiest Place on Turf,” Walt Disney World Resort is home to four golf courses, all open to resort guests and the public. The championship golf courses by Walt Disney World Golf have garnered praise and prestigious awards for their superlative design, impeccable service, world-class amenities and overall playability throughout the years. While Disney’s Palm, Magnolia, Oak Trail, and Lake Buena Vista are all slightly different from each other, there is one thing they all provide: a magical golf experience. Read on for a full review of the courses and all the details you need to know for your next round…

Fun fact about Andrew: he LOVES Jurassic Park.

(You can read more about that adventure here.) When Feld Entertainment reached out to invite us to Jurassic World Live Tour, we couldn’t wait to add this dino-mite event to our calendar!

Is the Paris Pass Worth It for Your First Trip to Paris? Our Detailed Review!

September 3, 2019

Our recent trip to Paris also happened to be our first. We knew there was a ton to see, and while the reality is we couldn’t see it all, we certainly wanted to see as much as we could. While researching different attractions and planning our itinerary we came across ads for something called the Paris Pass. This pre-paid option promised discounts and ease during our trip. We ran some numbers and decided to purchase the pass for our visit. Here is a full review that may help you decide if the Paris Pass is worth purchasing for your trip.
