Top 10 Must Do's at the Magic Kingdom

The Magic Kingdom has the most attractions of any of the four parks and perhaps that is why I had such a hard time narrowing down the Must Do's to only 10!  Since it was just too difficult to pick only 10 Must Do’s, there are a couple of honorable mentions that are worth noting. 10. Eat Snacks  The Magic Kingdom is home to many favorite snacks that are must eats.  You can find the Dole Whip in Adventureland, Funnel Cakes at Sleepy Hollow in Liberty Square, grab a hot dog from Casey's Corner, and get all sorts of tasty treats from the Main Street Confectionery.  There are so many wonderful snacks to choose from!  Take a moment on your next visit to enjoy the atmosphere of the Magic Kingdom with your favorite snack. 9.   Dumbo the Flying Elephant Take flight aboard a flying elephant for a magical flight above Storybook Circus.

Top 5 Free Sea Day Activities on Carnival Cruise Line

Carnival Cruise Line ships offer many free activities for guests to enjoy during their vacation, especially on sea days. While cruising with my family, I check the app for fun, free activities we can do to stay busy together. Here are some fun and free activities that we enjoy when cruising on Carnival: 1. Mini-golf Available on all Carnival ships! We especially enjoy it at night! It can get windy up there, so go after main dining time while the ship is still moving slowly. The ship typically decreases speed during dinner time. Another great time to get in a game is right when you get onboard and the ship is still docked. 2. Get competitive Check out which table games your ship offers. We have found giant chess, giant shuffleboard, foosball, and pool on the outdoor decks. We have played Battleship, Dominoes and shuffleboard indoors in the pub and the library. Challenge one another in a game of basketball, volleyball, dodgeball, or pickleball up on the sports deck. Games will vary by s...
