Orlando Attractions // Floridians Guide


Some people come to Orlando more than once on vacation. You might not want to do Disney and Universal again for the fifth time. You might be here on vacation and would like to see a little more than just those major attractions. You might of decided to come to Orlando and realized how expensive the major theme parks are and you have a budget you don't want to go over. Well here is a list of some smaller attractions to do that are just as fun as Disney and Universal.
  1. Fun Spot- We like to say that fun spot is all the fun of a theme park but not the theme park prices. There is a fun spot in Orlando and Kissimmee so if you are staying near Disney or Universal there is a Fun Spot close by to you. Tickets start at about $43 per person for ages 3 and up.
  2. Gatorland- It's an older attraction located more towards the Kissimmee area. Still a ton of fun to go and experience and it is educational as well. You could spend a whole day there with the VIP Trainer for a Day ticket (starting at $130) you must be at least 12 years old for this ticket. The general admission starts at around $20 and the admission with the zip line starts at around $75 and you go over a bunch of gators,
  3. LEGOLAND Florida- Just outside of the Kissimmee area you can experience LEGOLAND theme park and the LEGOLAND water park. Tickets start at about $100 for adults and they do have a shuttle service for free that picks up near the Orlando Eye or known as the I-Drive 360 area.
  4. I-drive 360 has tons of fun dinning options and the Coca-Cola Orlando Eye. Attached to The Eye there is Madame Tussauds and SeaLife Aquarium. Tickets start at $27 for one attraction and to do all three it starts at $53.
  5. SeaWorld- I can do a whole post about everything SeaWorld has to offer but I feel like not enough people know it is here. It is a theme park but at a great value! Tickets start at $99 plus tax and they have lots of add ons like behind the scenes tour, dolphin encounters, and personal favorite all day dinning. Because who doesn't want to eat all day long at a theme park?

This is my first of many posts on attractions to do in Orlando that are not Disney and Universal. I also do videos on my youtube channel about the attractions area in Orlando and make sure you subscribe to get all the information for your next Orlando Vacation.

GeekyCon 2016 Highlights

Meeting Maxwell Glick and Jon Cozart after the Disney sing-a-long after being on stage with them during a Tangled song and being in the front row dancing with them, two very sweet gentleman and I'm so happy I got to meet them and getting some youtube advise from Mr. Cheezypop himself! At the Charity ball I got to meet Ty Simpkins who is from Jurassic World and the Insidious films. He was also very sweet and nice of him to come out of the V.I.P area to interact with his fans and take photos for free and have nice conversations with everyone. That same night after the dance was the Harry Potter and the Cursed Child midnight release party! Potter Puppet Pals did a show, there was real life wizard chess, quid ditch matches, costume contests, being sorted by the sorting hat, and much more to do. It was so much fun and of course getting the book was icing on the cake. Then I got to meet Pemberly Digital! Frankenstein M.D., The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, and my p...

Original Character Pokemon Trainer Cosplay

I made my own Pokeballs and brought my starter pokemon with me to Megacon.  I did a black and white base for the outfit with pops of mint green. I wore my hair in two buns and also wore a bow necklace. A lot of girl pokemon trainers wore skirts or shorts so I went with this cute black and white skirt. To finish the look off I wore my white keys. I met this girl at mega who made the cutest pokemon cosplay I've seen so far in my life. As you can see in my cosplay I also had my pokemon badges in my vest, just like Ash. They are the indigo league badges. I have all 8 and not photographed I also had the Master Ball. If you would like a video of my outfit and how I made the poke balls let me know.

2013

My goodness how time flew by so fast. To think this time last year I was working in Irvine, California meeting all the amazing new friends that I made. I saw some awesome movies and did some amazing things. I can't believe I got to see One Direction Live at the Staple Center! I met iJustine and the cast of The Lizzie Bennet Diaries at Leaky Con 2013. I went to Portland for the first to go to Leaky Con and it was an amazing experience. I also enjoyed Disneyland and California Adventure as well as Universal Hollywood. I've figured out who my real friends are upon moving back to Florida. I've made some new friends and have become even closer with my brother (which I didn't think could be possible considering how close we were before). I feel like this year I really got a grasp on who I am and not letting people walk all over me. I'm standing up for myself and dealing with problems in an up front way. Next year, I need to get back to how I was eating in Californ...
