All by Katie
We’re back at Laurel’s House of Horror for their ‘Love is Blind’ Valentine’s Day event, celebrating two years of working with the haunt and tackling some brand-new challenges! This time, Katie steps into scene as a scare actor for the first time at Laurel’s, while Tim braves the blackout maze solo. Buckle up, because this one gets intense!
One of our favorite places to celebrate the holiday season is Busch Gardens Williamsburg, and we were thrilled to make our return to this award-winning park for Christmas Town 2024. The park boasts over 10 million twinkling lights on display, nearly a dozen live performances, character meets including the jolly ol’ elf himself, all in addition to world-class rides, coasters and experiences!
Season’s Greetings from the Sweetest Place on Earth! We’ve taken to formally kicking off our holiday season with a late November visit to Hersheypark for their annual Christmas Candylane event, and we were excited to continue that tradition this year. Normally, we plan a “snack crawl” that takes us all over the park for both sweet and savory seasonal treats. This year, however, the savory offerings seemed to be more limited…so we instead built an itinerary around the events, the characters and the experiences offered throughout the park.
When we were planning our itinerary for our summer trip to Orlando, Disney’s Hollywood Studios was not on our radar. Although Disney’s Hollywood Studios isn’t our favorite of the four Walt Disney World parks, it does have some of our favorite attractions - including MuppetVision 3D, Tower of Terror, Rise of the Resistance and more…so we were excited to be able to spend an impromptu day at the park!
As the leaves start to change and a crisp breeze settles in, there's no better way for families to welcome the fall season than with a visit to Corn Cob Acres in Mountville, PA. Corn Cob Acres is a family-friendly daytime event that runs on weekends from September through November, offering more than 50 different activities designed to entertain guests of all ages. We were invited out for opening weekend, and we were absolutely blown away by how much there was to do!
A trip to central Florida is not complete without a visit to our favorite Walt Disney World park, Disney’s Animal Kingdom. This visit, we decided to splurge on one of our bucket list DAK experiences…the Wild Africa Trek! This add-on, extra magical VIP experience is a 3-hour behind-the-scenes tour that includes lunch, complimentary experience photos and so much more!
Directly across the street from Seaworld Orlando lies a tropical hideaway where dozens of aquatic and avian animal species are allowed to run, play and interact with guests under the watchful eyes of the resort staff. We had never been to Discovery Cove, an all-inclusive day resort, until the summer of 2024 - and after visiting for the first time, we couldn’t wait to share our experience!
It’s been some time since our last visit to Seaworld Orlando, and despite the bad weather that was brewing, we were determined to make it out to this aqua-mazing park and claim the two brand-new roller coaster credits that lay waiting for us. If you’ve never been to Seaworld Orlando, we’re here to give you a long list of reasons why you should make it a part of your next Central Florida vacation!
Buc-ee’s has long been revered as the disneyland of gas stations. This travel hub has been recommended to us time and again by fellow road warriors in our circle, and when we set out for a sixteen hour drive to central Florida, we were sure to plan our first-ever visit to a Buc-ee’s location into our trip! So, what did we think? Was Buc-ee’s truly worth all the hype?
Each year brings new treats, sweets and savory food items to Hersheypark, and it’s become a tradition of ours to take a little stroll through our home park and pick up some of the new and interesting culinary creations to see what we think. This year, we also upgraded to the brand new Giant Size passholder tier, so we had a one-time fast track to use on any eligible ride as well as the new Giant Size lounge to check out!
We recently made our glorious return to Water Country USA in Williamsburg, VA to see what was new and improved for the 2024 season! Naturally, we had to invest in Quick Queue so that we could make the most of our day. Join us for a wet and wild day as we take on Aquazoid Amped, Nitro Racer: Supercharged, Colossal Curl and so much more!
It’s become an annual tradition of ours to make our way to Busch Gardens Williamsburg at least once every summer towards the end of Food & Wine season to check out all the delectable dishes that the event offers! In our opinion, this is one of the best festivals at the park, because the variety of food and entertainment offerings increases exponentially! So, what’s new for 2024?
This year, we made our glorious return to Dorney Park, home of the new-for-2024 B&M dive coaster Iron Menace! The park’s latest addition is its first new coaster in almost twenty years, and stands at 160 feet with a 95-degree drop all but consuming the skyline. Naturally, a coaster of this make, scale and reputation drew coaster enthusiasts from all over the country, and we were proud to be among them!
When we made the decision to attend FanExpo Philadelphia, there were a number of headlining celebrities that we were excited to meet, and - consequently - we decided to budget for VIP weekend admission. At a staggering $449 per person, we made it our mission to determine whether or not the VIP Experience was worth the price!
Welcome ghouls and goblins to the very first East Coast Haunters Convention in Oaks, PA! This inaugural event is a trade show from same great minds that host both the Midwest Haunters Convention and the famous Transworld convention each year. Join us for a complete tour and experience vlog from the very first haunt convention and trade show to ever grace the East Coast!
Another year has come and gone, and it’s time once again to test our luck at the St. Patrick’s Day event at Field of Screams in Lancaster, PA! This year, we have the added bonus of experiencing the long-dormant trail, Nocturnal Wasteland, for the very first time at an off-season event!
Love is in the air at our home haunt in Lancaster, PA, and you know we had to make our way out to Field of Screams to declare our true feelings! Join us for a bloody good time at one of the best haunts in America as we celebrate Valentine’s Day with our Field family for their one-night-only event!
We’ve visited Laurel’s House of Horror in Laurel, MD for their Valentine’s Day event, their Halfway to Halloween event and for their main season; but could their Christmas event be the best one of all? The answer to that question - as well as an in-depth look at the scare actor’s journey at Laurel - can be found in our latest event vlog!
Field of Screams in Lancaster, PA never lets a holiday season slip by without serving up a bit of frightfully festive spooks and scares! Although the haunt has been offering its one-night-only ‘Creepy Christmas’ event for some time, 2023 was our first time experiencing the holiday terror at Field…and we had some thoughts!
The holiday offerings at Hersheypark’s 2023 Christmas Candylane Event included seasonal snacks, ride overlays, Santa’s reindeer, festive shows, and 5 million twinkling lights on display, just to name a few - and you know that we weren’t about to miss out on the first-ever meet and greet with Ms. Claus and her hardworking elves!
