Last week, I finally had the chance to spend three nights at Universal’s Cabana Bay Beach Resort at Universal Orlando Resort. I have sent many happy clients to Cabana Bay, and this is always a fan favorite, so I was excited to check it out for myself. With a retro 50s/60s Florida roadside motel vibe, Universal’s Cabana Bay is an excellent choice for your family’s next Universal vacation. Keep reading for my full Cabana Bay Review

This past New Year’s my family had the best time at Universal Orlando! We had three park days, hit up both theme parks and Islands of Adventure, enjoyed a non-park day and stayed, for the first time, at Loews Sapphire Falls. Sapphire Falls was one of the last resorts at Universal Orlando to reopen, but its available and I was excited to experience this new-to-me resort, and I can’t wait to share my full Sapphire Falls review with you.

Many theme parks offer dining plans, and its often hard to know if it’s worth adding these plans to your vacation package. On my recent visit to Universal Orlando Resort, I was given one day of the full service dining plan to try out and get to know the product. I put the dining plan to the test to help answer the question, is the Universal Dining Plan is worth it?

This summer I visited Walt Disney World with my family. Despite the global pandemic I still really wanted to have a character meal. The only character meal available on property this summer (without a park ticket) was Breakfast ala Art with Mickey and Friends at Topolino‘s Terrace. We loved our breakfast at Topolino’s and I’m excited to share my review with you.

Summer 2020 has been a weird roller coaster for all of us. Instead of my kids going to their beloved summer camp, and our family spending most of our time at our local pool club, we ended up driving to SW FL and spending over two months in the sunshine state. Not what I originally planned, but with trying to make lemons out of lemonade, I found myself with the opportunity to visit Walt Disney World for two days during the pandemic. Certainly not for everyone, but I wanted to share my experience of what we did and how it went. Plus keep reading for some tips if you are visiting the reopening of Walt Disney World during this pandemic.
