Everything we have learned about the Orlando area
If you are a Orlando local who doesn’t have a Disney World park pass, or you’re on black out. Or maybe you’re on vacation but have some days of your trip without a park ticket, you may be wondering if there is anything you can do to get that Disney experience without entering the actual…
Dashing knights? Check. Jousting tournament? Yep. Gallant steeds? You betcha. Medieval Times is a long-standing tradition here in Orlando Florida. And while you may think you’ve landed in the middle of a renaissance fair, this isn’t just a temporary event. This dinner show happens twice a night, every evening since 1983. In fact the Orlando…
Paddlefish restaurant had a media preview tonight showcasing their brand new restaurant. This is the former giant riverboat that used to be Fulton’s Crab House. They gutted the whole place and did a complete overhaul with a rebrand to Paddlefish. Still specializing in seafood this will be an excellent edition to the Disney Springs restaurants….
Planet Hollywood Restaurant has been a long time fixture at Disney Springs, or what used to be known as Downtown Disney. Boy has this place come a long way. (anyone remember Pleasure Island? There’s a throwback for ya.) I must say, Disney has done a superb job with this whole area. The redesign and expansion have…
Can you believe it’s almost been one year since we moved to Orlando? It’s so crazy to me! It’s been on my mind since I’ve been working on an article with my reflections on the move for the one year anniversary at the end of October. I hear from many of you who reach out to me…

Yesterday morning I woke up to hear news of a shooting in Orlando. By the time we got out of church late that morning the details were horrific. More than 50 dead and another 50 or so injured in a shooting that happened at Pulse nightclub in Orlando. I am not a news reporter so…
MegaCon is Orlando’s huge Comic, Sci-Fi, Fantasy Convention. This is the San Diego ComiCon for the East coast. This was my first time attending and I was expecting it to be gigantic, overwhelming and impressive. Turns out I was right. These type of Fandom inspired conventions have really gotten popular and the expected attendance for this…
Last night STK had a grand opening party at their new location at Disney Springs. I had intended this to be a review but that will have to come later. The party was very swanky, with a Miami club vibe. They tried hard to give this a very high-end, adult feel. Red carpet entry, girls…
On Sunday (November 15th) we headed to Epcot to see the Food and Wine Festival one more time before it closes for the year. They had the lights on the France tower in tribute to the Paris attacks. It was a beautiful site. Click on the picture to see the full size and feel free…
