Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Review – An Epic End to the Saga?
Growing up we both were intimately familiar with Star Wars Episodes IV, V, and VI and practically wore out the VHS tapes. While we wouldn’t call ourselves super fans, Star Wars has always been enjoyable and held a special place in our hearts; when the franchise was acquired by Disney it just felt right to us. We recently went on a Star Wars movie marathon (thanks Disney+!) to gear up for the last installment. It was so enjoyable to watch films we hadn’t see in years and really get clear on characters and details. We were also reminded how “The Last Jedi” felt a bit mediocre to us. With plot holes and silly moments it felt a little fluffy, but it also felt like it was building for the final chapter.
We were excited to hear that for “The Rise of Skywalker” J.J. Abrams was back at the helm. But we knew he had his hands full to not only include nostalgia from all the movies previously, but also bring in new exciting moments, and tie up a lot of loose ends. When we were invited to an early screening of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker we felt a big build up of excitement and nerves. This could be the final goodbye to many beloved characters (including ones that had been around since before we were even born!) Read on for our spoiler free review… We were excited to hear that for “The Rise of Skywalker” J.J. Abrams was back at the helm.

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

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