If you’re planning a visit to Universal’s Epic Universe and want a stay that feels just as magical as the parks themselves, then Helios Grand Hotel is the place to be. I recently stayed there and couldn’t wait to spill all the details. From gorgeous rooms to exclusive perks and great views this resort exceeded my expectations in some ways - and surprised me in others. Helios is located adjacent to the new park, but furhter away from the original two Universal Orlando parks.  Lobby Desk 🌟 Theme: Mediterranean Magic with Modern Luxury Helios has a stunning Greek-Mediterranean theme that feels both upscale and relaxing.  The hotel is one main building with only 500 rooms, not a resort style layout with multiple wings or buildings. There is one pool, within close proximity to the back of the resort. There are ample loungers, umbrellas, complimentary towels, sunscreen, and cold water. They have roaming servers to bring you drinks as well. The pool has a zero entry area for kid...

Disney Cruise Line is often celebrated as the ultimate family vacation, but what if you set sail without kids? As seasoned travelers, we discovered a side of Disney magic designed for adults—full of sophistication, relaxation, and delightful experiences. From indulgent spa days to competitive trivia nights, this cruise proved that Disney caters to guests of all ages with its signature touch of excellence. The Disney Difference: Service, Entertainment, and Magic for All One thing that stood out on our voyage was the exceptional service from the cast and crew. Whether it was the friendly bartenders remembering our favorite drinks, attentive servers making every meal special, or the crew at the adults-only pool ensuring a peaceful retreat, Disney’s commitment to hospitality was evident at every turn. Another highlight was the incredible entertainment. Whether we were watching Broadway-caliber productions, hanging out at trivia, or learning to draw a favorite character. The level of tale...

Travel is one of the most educational life experiences to give a child. A trip to Walt Disney World is no different. Disney Parks attractions are interesting, educational, and fun at the same time! There are valuable learning opportunities for your children in every subject area. As a homeschool mom, I fully understand finding the educational value in everyday activities, and especially our vacations.  EPCOT I could do an entire blog just on how educational Epcot is! It's my favorite!! For geography buffs, there are entire "countries" to explore. Get hands-on, in depth experience from around the world in Epcot’s World Showcase. Epcot offers cool "Kidcot" stops for extra learning fun! Children can try food and drinks from other countries, and even meet Cast Members from those actual countries who come to work at Disney. Your child will also see the different architecture and dress, hear languages, music, and taste foods of many different cultures. Visit the Bij...

There’s something magical about Disney that most people can agree on — but mention you're headed back to Walt Disney World again, and suddenly the questions start flying. "Wait, weren’t you just there?" "You're going back already?" If you’re reading this, chances are you’ve either been on the receiving end of those skeptical looks or you're trying to figure out why someone you know can’t seem to stay away. Either way, welcome — you’re in the right place.   Along with these questions, I’ve heard many other misconceptions of Walt Disney World.   I decided I would use this opportunity to try and shed some light on why Walt Disney World is a great vacation destination for anyone and everyone (even more than once in a lifetime). Fireworks over Cinderella Castle 1. “We only need one day in each park.” One day in each park, even for a seasoned Walt Disney World visitor, is simply not enough.   Even for those who try to plan down to the hour what they wil...

If you're a true Disney fan, these signs will be all too familiar! Share this with someone you know who does these things! You have serious opinions about whether Disneyland or Disney World is better —but will defend both to a non-Disney fan. You can spot a Hidden Mickey in anything—including your morning pancake. Your dream retirement plan involves moving to Orlando, being a Disney Cast Member, or at least having an Annual Pass.  You have a collection of  Disney toiletries, some that are 10 years old. When you travel to European countries you think... "hey, this is just like Epcot !" You respond to friend's questions with Disney movie quotes ... even if it drives them crazy. The smell of oranges or fresh cut grass makes you wish you were on Soarin '.  You had a Disney themed wedding , got married/engaged at Disney, had a Disneymoon, or have a fantasy Disney wedding planned in your head. You  offer advice and directions to other guests in the parks wh...
