Epcot Flower & Garden Festival
I wanted to share a few photos from some of the Flower & Garden Festival days I've attended in the past. I love the laid-back feeling of Epcot. It's a great place to just stroll around and people-watch. The Flower & Garden Festival, held every spring, displays popular Disney characters made completely out of plants. Love it!
Star Wars Weekends
Okay, let me start out by saying that I was never really into Star Wars as a kid. In fact, I haven't even seen all of the movies. But Star Wars Weekends at Disney's Hollywood Studios is SO MUCH FUN!

Gatorland
Gatorland, located about 25 miles south of my apartment, is an affordable park that turned out to be more fun than I was expecting. There aren't any rides (besides a $2 train ride) but the gators and other animals are really neat to watch. They also have interactive shows and a small splash park for the kiddies.
My First Post (some background info)
Welcome!
I am 27 years old and have been living in Orlando for 5 years. Why did I wait so long to begin blogging about my experiences in Orlando? Well, I was working full-time and taking night classes at the University of Central Florida trying to earn a Master's degree. I finally graduated in May and am ready to share all the fun I am having living in Orlando!
There is more to Orlando than just the theme parks, as I hope this blog will show. However, you cannot live here and completely ignore the fact that the world's biggest tourist attractions are right around the corner. My husband and I (no children yet) have annual passes to all 4 Disney theme parks AND the 2 Universal theme parks. Every visit is different, and we love taking advantage of everything the parks have to offer.
I hope you will enjoy reading about all the fun I'm having in Orlando as much as I enjoy experiencing it and sharing it with you!
