Things to know before your Orlando Summer Vacation \\ Floridians Guide

 
 
I deal with a lot of guest at work who don't fully research things they need to know before coming on vacation here in Orlando. I would love to explain so key points for you if you are planning a vacation here so you can make to most out of your trip.
 
 
  1. It rains almost every day in Orlando during the summer. We are the lightening capitol of the world here in Orlando. We also don't get the storms all day but they will be either afternoon or evening storms.
  2. All attraction areas are not close to each other. Disney and Universal are about 25 minutes apart in a car or taxi. SeaWorld is about 15-20 from the other attractions and Busch Gardens is in Tampa which is about an hour drive. Kennedy Space Center is also about an hour drive as well. LEGOLAND is about 45 minutes away from Disney Resort Area.
  3. Universal and Disney are completely separate companies and parks. You cannot buy package tickets with both parks they sell their tickets separate. I do get asked about them being the same company a lot and I assure you they are not.
  4. Pack very thin and light clothing for the humidity here. Orlando has such high humidity you will be sweating like a sinner in church walking around the parks. Remember to bring summer clothing that are lighter colors to stay cool. Also don't forget to wear sunblock because you will get burnt no matter what you think. UV rays are very, very high here in Orlando.
  5. Make sure you research what you are interested seeing here in Orlando before booking hotels to see if any hotels have special offers on your tickets if you book with them. Also with checking prices on tickets and other attractions here. I have so many guest who come up to me not realizing how much park tickets are here in Orlando.
  6. Make a budget for your vacation before coming down to Orlando. Going off of number 5 there for know the prices on the park tickets  is to make sure you plan a budget for yourself. This is an expensive vacation and don't try to rush this trip if you are not ready. Save up money and make this once in a life time vacation as amazing as it can be.
 
Those are some of my tips on researching for your Orlando vacation. I hope this helps you with your planning for this summer or in the future summers to come. Let me know what kind of tips you would like to see for your Orlando vacation. Make sure you read the previous post on my top 10 tips to making your day at Magic Kingdom more magical.

Tea Cup // Outfit Of The Day

I went to a tea room for lunch and this outfit inspired by English rose gardens and those pretty bone china floral tea cups. The back of the dress is open so I work a bralette that is a pastel pink and lace one. It went with the whole English tea room theme of the outfit and for the tea room we went to. The dress is white with pastel pink painted ross on it. I got it last year at Forever 21 and I don't think they sell this dress anymore. I really love the shape and color of the dress. I didn't want any shoes that took away from the dress so I paired this outfit with my nude flats I got at a boutique in California. The purse is by Betsy Johnson and I love wearing this with pastel outfits. It has a black bow and a pink fluff ball on the side. Gold chain and black straps. Its a fake leather with little black hearts. This has been one of my go to purses right now. Make sure you checked my previous blog post about the tea room I went to (The Twisted ...

Here is some inspiration I found on a lovely little site called Pinterest (incase you haven't heard of it). You can go to party city or even the dollar store to buy beach themed decorations for your house. Thing like beach balls, buckets, fake palm trees, pool toys, etc. Be creative! It's your party and your spring break, make your stay-cation as fun as you want it to be! Also, try and fine some beach music to play or just buy a beach boys cd! When you lay out the food be creative. You can use any beach toys and put food in or around it. Get fun and decorative plates and cups. The beach is always great for mix-matching so don't be afraid to do that with your plates and food layout. Try and find some beach themed foods, like fruits, veggies, sandwiches, anything you would pack with you or buy at t...

Florida Winter Looks

If you live in a place that doesn't really get freezing cold, like Florida, here are some cute outfit ideas. Also, I'm more into the brightly colored winter clothes so here are some options. If you are not big on the bright colors this sweater is a great way to jazz up your look. Glitter, Sparkles,  and Sequins are always a great way to show that you're fun. This is also not a very thick sweater so it's great for Florida or California since it doesn't get very cold. The sweater is also very festive for Christmas and New Years Eve. If it isn't very cold like it is now in Florida go with a thing bright colored sweater and your favorite shorts. You can pair this with a bright hand bag and your favorite flip flops. You can also wear sneakers if you'd prefer. Now if it is a little too chilly for shorts wear bright colored jeans or leg gins to keep your legs warm. This is the perfect Florida winter outfit. Now this is actually my favorite one out ...
