This past Friday I had the joy of attending the reception for the duel opening of Edward Steichen at the Mennello Museum and Stephen Althouse at the Orlando Museum of Art. The opening reception was hosted by both museums for a one of a kind event. Both OMA and the Mennello are hopeful for many more combined receptions to come. For a mere $15, you attend this reception and enjoy food, drinks, music, and of course, beautiful art work. As a current member of the Mennello museum, I got in for free. Opening night of an art exhibit is an experience like no other. I’ve been on both ends before,…

Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios
In a galaxy far far away…Well, not too far. Just a short drive to Hollywood Studios actually. My boyfriend and I were lucky enough to snag a spot to visit Galaxy’s Edge before it opens later this week (August 29th to be exact) at Walt Disney World’s Hollywood Studios! Platinum Passholders had the opportunity to visit Galaxy’s Edge, just another reason I recommend the Platinum Annual Pass. But that’s for another post. Our short trip to Batuu was out of this world!

Spring Dapper Day 2019 at The Magic Kingdom
Spring Dapper Day 2019 has come and gone and I still can’t believe how amazing it was. I went to my first Disney Dapper Day last fall and couldn’t wait to go to so many more. I’d always heard about Dapper Day but had never gone till then. Now I know what all the fuss is about. Dapper day is a day to dress up fancy af in Disney themed (or non Disney themed) attire. Just so long as you’re “Dapper” you’ll fit the bill! Anything from shorts with suspenders to full length mermaid gowns go for this bees knees day. I said it in my last post and I’ll…

After a short hiatus for the weekend I’m glad to report, I’m back.

I am pleased to inform you about an awesome event happening in downtown Orlando next weekend. Touch a Truck is an event for all ages to enjoy. From Game trucks, to Firetrucks, they’ll have it all!

We all know the typical Valentine’s Day drill. Flowers, chocolates, a romantic candle lit dinner at an over crowded restaurant and maybe even an over-sized stuffed animal.

Living in Orlando, there are tons of ways to celebrate Valentine’s Day with your Valentine that don’t involve the typical. I’ve rounded up…
