"Jurassic World Live Tour" is Roaring into Orlando Soon! Get Ready for Live Dinosaurs!

December 16, 2019

Fun fact about Andrew: he LOVES Jurassic Park. We have enjoyed watching the movies over the years together and one of our coolest memories was being able to visit the real location where many of the movies were filmed in Hawaii! (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! Read on to hear more about this cool new show coming to Orlando in January (and for a coupon code too!)

Walt's - An American Restaurant: Does This Disneyland Paris Icon Live Up to the Hype?

December 5, 2019

When planning our visit to Disneyland Paris we wanted to carefully select the best dining options at restaurants that would be unique to this park. One place quickly rose to the top of our list: Walt’s - An American Restaurant. Andrew is a huge fan of Walt Disney history and when we heard this was the theme of the restaurant, and also that is was one of the higher-end options available on our Premium dining plan we really wanted to check it out. Walt’s had just gone through a refurb but opened the week we were visiting so we were lucky enough to snag a time for lunch. Did this restaurant live up to the hype? Read on to find out what we thought…

Bull & Bear Waldorf Astoria Orlando: Our Splurge-Worthy Dining Review

November 13, 2019

We recently had the pleasure of staying at the Hilton Bonnet Creek (make sure to check out our resort review too), and one of the best things about staying at this hotel is you have access to also enjoy their sister property Waldorf Astoria Orlando. As you would expect, there are some high-end dining experiences here, and the list includes one of the finest steakhouses: Bull & Bear. We knew this meal would be a fancy splurge, but little did we know it would end up being one of the most memorable dinners we’ve ever had. Read on for all of the delicious details…

Hilton Bonnet Creek

Signia by Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek Review: Your Perfect Adult Getaway with Disney Access!

November 11, 2019

Even though we now live in Orlando, we still find ourselves staying on property from time to time. There is something special about booking a little staycation and leaving the parks to a resort room, instead of facing a drive home late at night. We have done a few one night stays using our Disney Vacation Club points since moving here, but we do have a limited number of DVC points. We decided it was the perfect time to broaden our horizons and start checking out some other nearby hotels and resorts. For Andrew’s birthday weekend we booked a weekend getaway at Hilton Bonnet Creek. Read on to hear all about this resort…
