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.

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

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

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
