If you’re curious this year about where to go that isn’t Disney, take a look at some of these options below! 2020 was a weird year, and while hope is on the horizon 2021 is still going to take some time to feel “normal” again. Of course one major thing that was affected last year […]
Why your family should visit Universal Orlando
One word: Butterbeer. Nah, there’s plenty more reasons! But Butterbeer (and all of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter) is certainly one of them. For a long time Universal sort of flew under the radar when compared to Disney World. You might venture over there for day to try out some other rides, but most […]

But if you’re looking for more thrill rides or you have some extra time on your hands during your trip, consider heading over to Knott’s Berry Farm.
