Disney’s Yacht Club

Posted in DISNEY RESORT REVIEWS with tags on October 7, 2012 by disneychronicles

So I have a new favorite! Well in the Deluxe Category anyway. Yes, Of Course I have my fav in each one. I couldn’t honestly just pick one!

So it’s the Yacht Club! Just stayed there this past weekend and they did spoil us with a boardwalk view! It was awesome!

I am one of those people that really dislikes staying in hotel rooms for the fact that I always think I’m missing out on something. I am usually out and about seeing what activities the resorts offer so as you can imagine this was fantastic!

Disney’s Yacht Club Resort is a lakeside Disney Deluxe Resort resembling a New England yacht club.  The rooms are beautiful and have great theming.

It first opened on November 5, 1990, it is one of several Epcot Area Resorts. Disney’s Yacht Club is located next to a sister resort, Disney’s Beach Club Resort, and across Crescent Lake from Disney’s BoardWalk Resort. All 3 are very close and in walkable distance to each other.

It was a little bit cloudy when we were there but still beautiful….

and very convenient to restaurants, shops and the parks! Can’t wait to come back!

Halloween Horror Nights….Heck NO!

Posted in UNIVERSAL STUDIOS with tags , on October 4, 2012 by disneychronicles

So as almost everyone knows Universal Studios hosts one of the scariest Halloween events in the state of Florida!

and Heck NO! I will not be attending…well at least not this year! (never say never!) 😀

But since I did visit last weekend I thought I would take a look around. There were a few decorations around the parks but not many. The shops were selling many souvenirs and these were scary enough!

Universal Orlando presents one of the nation’s most elaborate Halloween celebrations with Halloween Horror Nights. Universal’s “scream team” researches the human psyche and its deepest fears so that Halloween Horror Nights’ guests can confront their most terrifying nightmares. There are specially designed haunted houses, inescapable scare zones, and hundreds of street performers. This fright-fest invades Universal Orlando on select nights throughout the month of October.

So will you be going?

Pin Trading….at Universal Studios?

Posted in UNIVERSAL STUDIOS with tags on September 29, 2012 by disneychronicles

So as you may know by now our family does participate in pin trading at Disney. Yes, I use the word participate lightly!

Since it is really more of an obsession. Well for my husband and my boys anyway. I admit I do have a few but I stick with the  special event or passholder ones.

Sunday we spent the day at Universal Studios. I had no idea that they have pin trading at Universal. To be honest it has been a while since we really took the time to walk through this park and I’m sure I just missed it.

Well it’s not the same but for those who want to do it, it’s there.

It is much more low-key and not hyped up like Disney’s, I think that in my opinion they tried it but it didn’t take.

Here are a few examples…

Will you do it?
