Shanghai Disney

One of the really unique things they have at Shanghai Disney is the Alice in Wonderland maze. The big attraction is the big queen of hearts head in her part of the garden. It's a really simple and fun attraction to do in the park. It is located behind the castle in their Fantasy Land. Obviously, the big talk of Shanghai Disney is their Pirates of the Caribbean ride. Let me tell you I could just ride it all day long. It is honestly mind blowing and I have never experienced a ride like it before. I was lucky enough to ride it twice in the same day as well as the Tron Lightcycle Coaster. However I do prefer the pirates ride over the tron. ride.  The castle is so huge and beautiful and I had to put a picture of me in front of it. Now below is the video of my day there minus the Royal Banquet Hall which I will do a separate post on. I just would like to warn some travelers about some of the things I noticed there. Shanghai Disney people do not really under stand line...

Ancient Shanghai Water Village

Our second day in Shanghai we had another tour booked to see an ancient water village and go on a boat down the river to see the water village. I won't lie it was a little scary on the boat. They weren't the best drivers for the tour. We almost crashed a few times but the experience was fun and make for a good story and video. Yes I caught our almost boat accident on video, well one of them. But it was very pretty and also pretty dirty, I mean really dirty. But we did have tons of fun on the tour. Behind me is I believe a 500 year old bridge. We got to get off and walk across and the steps were almost nonexistent. Walking through the narrow side streets with the street vendors and the food, fabrics, and merchandise really made me feel like I was in a movie. You they always show those kind of dirty busy side streets with all the street vendors. That's exactly what we were walking down and I wont lie it wasn't my favorite experience but I am happy to say that ...

Celebration Tea Room // Words To Eat By

Great news to Kissimmee, Orlando, and Lake Buena Vista area! We finally have a tea room close by that isn't too expensive. No more going to The Grand Floridian for high tea or driving out to Winter Haven for a nice cup of tea and lunch. Head over to Celebration and try the new Tea Room!  I got a goji berry oolong tea which is high in antioxidants and low in caffeine. My entree came with a side or cup of soup (I love soup so much). I clearly got the Tomato Basil soup which is amazing. I want to say now that every thing here is made fresh in house. My dad got the Salmon Wellington with roast potatoes . I don't really like salmon but I will take his word for it. He said it was really good but it was a bit small for an entree.  My entree was the Cottage Pie and you can tell that it was made in house and very fresh. It is straight out of the oven and so, so hot. Please do not eat it right away because you'll burn your mouth. But this is really deliciou...

A Day At LegoLand Florida // Floridians Guide

Here's a really flattering picture of me in front of the LEGOLAND Florida sign (Sarcasm people). But the sign is super cute and I couldn't resist. I recently got to tour the two resorts at LEGOLAND Florida located in Winter Haven just outside of Orlando. The video below shows the tour of the two resorts and how amazingly themed they are.   Their newest resort is Beach Retreat which is their value hotel. As you see in the video they have really cute beach homes as hotel rooms and they have cute Lego themed rooms. The pools have tubes where you can build foam Lego blocks onto them and make your own creations. There is a fire pit by the pool to make delicious and gooey s'mores and bar not to far from their for the parents to have a fun treat for them at night as well. You do get early park admission with this hotel and a free shuttle to take you back and forth to the park. I really want to stay here soon with some friends and have a really fun time relaxing and...

Shanghai Museum & Chinese Buddhist Temple // Travel

I went to Shanghai a few months ago and I wanted to create some posts about the experience. The first day we were day we had a guided tour into Shanghai. Our first spot (the photo above) was the Shanghai Museum. This was a very busy museum and inside was so beautiful and they had so many different rooms full of history. It was really amazing and our tour guide was full of lots of information. I did this tour because I really didn't know anything about Shanghai besides the new Disney Park was there. I really love learning about the difference in culture and understanding their history of their city. The next stop he took us to was a Buddhist temple. Oh my goodness it was beautiful and amazing to see all the people coming into pray to the different gods. I also think it was amazing to see different tour groups from all over the world coming into here and being peaceful and respectful of the religion. I really got a full understand of Buddhism and I have to say it is an am...
