Top 3 Things to do in Prague, Czech Republic

Prague, Czech Republic is a city rich with unique history, and having only really existed as it's current independently ruled country for about the last 30 years, is quite a treat to visit. (Previously it was Czechoslovakia under Communist rule and several others in the centuries prior.) We spent several days here and loved how compact and easy it was to get around with public transportation. It was easy to hit the highlights and do a bit extra with our time to really get a feel for the city.

Walking Tour

Since Prague structures date back to Medieval times, the streets of Old Town can be a little confusing at first glance. A walking tour will give you a good orientation and touch on some of the many highlights such as the astronomical clock and the old Jewish quarter. A great tour guide will also guide you through the historical changes of power throughout the city and show important locations on the path to the Czech Republic's independence. Our tour left us by the famous Charles Bridge which you could walk over to head towards Prague Castle.

Prague Castle

Prague Castle was built in the 9th century and is a beautiful sprawling complex with much to see and do. It is the seat of the head of state and houses many artifacts important to the Czech Republic. If you are planning to really explore it all, give yourself plenty of time as entry into the ticketed areas typically runs with normal business hours.

Letna Park

Letna Park is easily accessible by public transportation and is a popular spot for locals to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. You can take a funicular up to the top (which we recommend) where there is a lookout tower and a mirror maze. As you head back down, you are transported into a lush forest with many walking paths where you will see many runners, hikers and bikers. If you continue on, you will get to beautiful lookout spots with a great perspective of the city below.

Bonus: Eat Like a Local

While there's not a ton of food that immediately comes to mind when you think "Prague" there is still certainly plenty to give a try while you're here. The "chimney cake" is a favorite sweet and can be found at little shops all around the tourist areas. There are also plenty of Czech cuisine restaurants around to give more traditional savory dishes a try as well.

Photo Tour and Deck Plan: Disney Fantasy

The Disney Fantasy took its maiden voyage in 2012 and until 2022, was the newest ship in the Disney Cruise Line fleet. It's the sister ship to the Disney Dream so you'll see many similarities between the two ships. The Disney Fantasy is an absolutely gorgeous ship, boasting an Art Nouveau style. The ship has 14 decks, 1,250 staterooms, is 1,115 feet in length and weighs 130,000 gross tons. We'll tour the ship starting from Deck 1 up to Deck 14, going from Aft to Forward. Let's start our photo tour! Deck 1 Deck 1 is where you'll find the Health Center. It's also where you can exit the ship to board a tender at Ports of Call that require ships to anchor offshore. Deck 2 Deck 2 is where you'll find one of the three main dining rooms, Enchanted Garden. The restaurant transforms throughout dinner, changing from day to night I love these booths! You can also find staterooms, a Midship Detective Agency kiosk and the Vista Gallery showcasing Disney artwork. Deck

Universal's Volcano Bay Private Cabana Review

On a recent training in Universal Orlando Resort, agents Maci, Ashley, Aubrey and Yaritza and I rented a private cabana for the day at Universal's Volcano Bay. There are multiple locations around the park along with the option to have an upper or lower level, all of which reflect in various pricing. Agent Ashley received an email the day before informing her of where to check-in the next morning. While we were personally escorted to the cabana shortly after check in, the line at the check in location is the same as those getting towels, meaning it was not short. As expressed by an additional guest checking into a different cabana, we would have greatly appreciated a separate line, since this caused our group about a half hour wait. We're all adults and made great use of our time getting some fun pictures before the park was filled with guests, but this is important to be aware of if you are traveling with children. We had an upper level Cabana which came with a splendid view!

The Villas at the Disneyland Hotel Review

I love staying at the Disneyland Hotel so when I got the opportunity to stay at the new Villas at the Disneyland Hotel during opening weekend, I couldn’t pass it up. Because it was opening weekend, we were greeted in the entrance way of the lobby with balloons and many photo opportunities. When we arrived, there was a mural of the Haunted Mansion. I love how the seats in the main lobby were designed like the teacups in the parks. You can check in using the Disneyland app, drop your bags with bell services and head into the parks or use the amenities why you wait until your room is ready. When your room is ready, the resort will send you a text and you can use the Disneyland app on your mobile device to unlock the room. We dropped off our bags and went straight to the parks. We received a text around 1PM that our room was ready. In the new Discovery Tower (the Villas), you'll find that the lobby is very spacious with many places to sit while you read or wait for your family. Th
