In today’s video, we travel to Dutch Wonderland in Lancaster, PA! This was our first visit ever to Dutch Wonderland. This was actually our second attempt at this video, after getting rained out over the summer. We meet up again with our friends and their two kids to explore the park. Our first stop is the Carousel, where both kiddos were able to ride their very own horses! Then, it’s time to head down the big Fun Slide and take a ride on Bon Voyage: Balloon Chase. Eloise gets to try a few attractions on her own for the first time, the Panda Party and Huck Finn’s Leapin’ Frogs. Then, Eloise tries her first roller coaster The Joust! Jury is still out whether she will be a thrill seeker or not :). After all of the excitement, it’s time for a nice relaxing train ride around the park. Afterwards, it’s Monster Truck time with a ride on Off Road Rally, and we end the day with Eloise’s favorite attraction, Frog Hopper (Tower of Terror, here we come)! We all had an amazing time and we hope you enjoyed this video! Stay tuned for our review and thoughts about Dutch Wonderland in our next video. Thanks so much for watching, and as always, keep on wishing!

Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort: Resort & Preferred Room Tour

Posted on September 21, 2021 by Caribbean Beach Disney Disney Resort DisneyWorld Resort Review Review Room Tour Skyliner Travel

If you liked this video, please consider giving it a like and subscribing to our channel! 🙂 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdnRV4_Cg-dqd_s94o-hHwQ

In today’s video, we give a brief resort and room tour of Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort! We had a Preferred Room, two queen bed room, in the Martinique Building area, building 24. The entrance to Caribbean Beach has just had a thorough refurbishment in recent years, however, the rooms have not. Even without a fresh refurb, we still found the room to be very comfortable and enjoyable. One of the reasons we wanted to stay at Caribbean Beach was for access to the Skyliner. While the Martinique Buildings will have you close to the main lobby of the resort (Old Port Royale), you are quite far from the Skyliner station at Caribbean Beach. We found it was easier to walk to the Riviera Resort from Martinque and take the Skyliner from there rather than walk or take a bus to the Caribbean Beach Skyliner stop. Overall, we had a fantastic stay at Caribbean Beach, and we will definitely be staying here again. We hope you enjoyed this video! Thanks so much for watching, and as always, keep on wishing!

Lions and Rhinos and Cheetahs, Oh My!

Posted on September 18, 2021 by Animal Kingdom Dinosaur Disney DisneyWorld Festival of the Lion King Flight of Passage It's Tough to be a Bug! Kilimanjaro Safari's Na'vi River Journey Pongu Pongu Satu'li Canteen Travel

In today’s vlog we head to Animal Kingdom on our last day of this mini Disney Trip. To avoid some of the crowds, we head back toward Dinoland U.S.A and board a time rover to the Cretaceous Period on Dinosaur. Then, we head under the Tree of Life to see It’s Tough to be a Bug! While we’re there, we take advantage of a fun “Tiny World” photopass opportunity located right next to the attraction. Wait times are low this time of year, so we decide to take advantage of that and ride Flight of Passage with a 20 minute wait! Since we’re already in Pandora, we take a short trip on Na’vi River Journey, and order some lunch from Satu’li Canteen. Finally, it’s time to take a ride on Kilimanjaro Safaris! We saw so many animals this time around, including the much anticipated lions. It’s definitely best to ride this attraction early in the day, late at night, or when it is raining/overcast. This is when you’ll see the most animals and when they are most active! Then it’s time for one last visit with Simba over at Festival of the Lion King before it’s time to head out and go home 🙁 We hope you enjoyed this video! Thanks so much for watching and, as always, keep on wishing!

Trying 6 Booths in One Afternoon at Epcot’s Food & Wine Festival 2021

In today’s vlog we take on Epcot’s Food and Wine Festival for 2021. We make it to 6 booths this time around. But before we try any food, we check in on the Harmonious barge construction. The barges are starting to reach their final stages of construction. While we don’t love the way these barges look in World Showcase Lagoon, we’re still excited to see the final product in the fall. We also take some time to play Remy’s Hide and Squeak! We only show you two locations (we don’t want to give away all of the surprises!), but this is such a fun activity to try while you spend the day enjoying the festival. Now, onto the food! Our first stop is Earth Eats for one of our favorite festival items: The Impossible Burger Slider. Next, we need some refreshment, so we stop over at Shimmering Sips for their delicious mimosa flight (Includes the Tropical Mimosa, the Key Lime Mimosa, and the Blood Orange Mimosa). We then make our way to another festival favorite, the Hawaii booth! You know we had to get the famous Kalua Pork Slider. We also got one of the newer items, the Passion Fruit Cheesecake, which is also part of Emile’s Fromage Montage treat trail. To wash it down, we tried the Kona Brewing Co. Hanalei Island IPA. We head back from the islands and trek over to Mexico for a whole gauntlet of items: the Chilaquiles con Chorizo, Taco de Ribeye, Capirotada de Chocolate, and an El Tigre Margarita. We step out of our comfort zones a little bit with the next booth, the Swanky Saucy Swine and try the Roasted Porchetta. Lastly, for a boozy dessert, we head over to Ireland and enjoy the Guinness Bailey Shake before we enjoy a showing of Epcot Forever. What an amazing evening at Epcot! We can’t wait to come back and try some more items at this year’s festival. We hope you enjoyed this video. Thanks so much for watching and, as always, keep on wishing!

In today’s video, we bring you part 2 of our day at Hollywood Studios! It’s finally time to see Beauty and the Beast – Live on Stage for the first time in years! Although the production is a little bit different to accommodate our current times, it was still as wonderful as we remembered it. Then it’s finally time to join the Resistance as our boarding group for Rise of the Resistance gets called. This ride is so amazing, no matter how many times we ride it, we find new things we haven’t noticed before! After a brief Mickey Bar break, it’s time to head to Epcot and end our day officially at Hollywood Studios. We hope you’ll join us in our next Vlog where we bring you to Epcot’s Food and Wine Festival! We hope you enjoyed this video. Thanks so much for watching and, as always, keep on wishing!

In today’s video, we bring you part 1 of our day at Hollywood Studios! Our first stop is to go off planet into Batuu and fly the fastest Hunk of Junk in the galaxy! We are pilots again, and we are very successful in collecting our Coaxium, along with some help and good team work with our two gunners! Next, we shrink down to toy size and ride Toy Story Mania. You may be just as surprised as we were when you see the scores! Keeping with the Toy Story theme, we decide to hop on Slinky Dog Dash, which only had a 30 minute wait. After Slinky Dog, we decide it’s time for a quick lunch. I bet you can’t guess where we ended up… ok ,you got us, Ronto Roasters! We are hooked on these little wraps, and they have officially ruined us for regular hot dogs forever! After a hot morning, we need a break, so we head over to enjoy some air conditioning and a little “Vacation Fun”. We end the video on a bit of a cliffhanger, with us just about to hop on Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy. We hope you stick around and check out part 2 of our day at Hollywood Studios. You definitely don’t want to miss it! We hope you enjoyed this video. Thanks so much for watching and, as always, keep on wishing!

In today’s video, we bring you part 2 of our day at Magic Kingdom! First, we hop on the PeopleMover to get a look at the ever changing Tron construction. This coaster is really coming along, and I’m both excited and scared to ride this attraction one day! Then, it’s time for a little AC break with a viewing of Carousel of Progress and Philharmagic. After a nice break, we are in need of some treats, and in Disney, you can eat dessert first, so that’s exactly what we did at Cheshire Cat Cafe! Here we try the delicious Cheshire Cat Tail treat for the very first time, and we highly recommend it. Then, it’s time for another first with a dinner stop at Casey’s Corner! While the hot dogs weren’t our favorite, we definitely think you should try the Baseball Brownie. It made this whole dinner worth it! To escape the rain, we decide to visit our favorite Ghost Host over at the Haunted Mansion. Luckily for us, the rain lets up and we get to see the most beautiful rainbow over the most Magical Place on Earth. After a brief tour of Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin, it’s finally time to see Happily Ever After for what could be our very last time! Lots of tears were shed, but the show was just as beautiful and moving as we remember it. We hope you enjoyed this video. Thanks so much for watching and, as always, keep on wishing!
