Christmas at Walt Disney World Florida.

Going to Walt Disney World in the Christmas season is a festive magical experience, you enter the realm of quality, luxurious decorations, gorgeous food experiences, make believe, dreams, fun, laughter, music, thrills, adventures and warm/hot weather!

Definitely worth looking into in my opinion, having had the pleasure myself I highly can recommend it. We went early December it was not too crowded but all the decorations were up and festive spirits were high.

WDW's Haunted Mansion Waiting Line Visuals.

A spooky observation of one of many hidden visual Disney tricks. 

As you're waiting in line for the amazing Haunted Mansion attraction at The Magic Kingdom, Walt Disney World Florida, look carefully at 'Leota's gravestone, do her eyes really open?!?

One of the many clever imagineering treats that you can find as you look closely at buildings, constructions, carvings, sculptures, models etc. When walking through the Disney theme parks. 

And of course, always be on the look out for 'Hidden Mickey's'!

Have a safe and happy Halloween.

Fleet Farming Grows in Orlando.

A group in Orlando are encouraging residents to turn their front lawns into mini farms. The organisation is 'growing' and has had recent media coverage and can be found on Twitter @fleetfarming.

Donate your lawn and Fleet Farming come along, they plant, grow and maintain the plot, encouraging residents to help. Then the fruit and vegetables are harvested and distributed to local markets and restaurants. The fleet of gardeners travel around on bikes to help eliminate fossil fuel consumption.

If you want more information on this great idea, here is a link to their website.....http://fleetfarming.com/

Be Aware and Prepared for Hurricanes When on Vacation in Orlando.

In Florida it's the season for hurricanes and tropical storms, if you are visiting Orlando in might be a good idea to be 'aware' just incase you are on vacation and a big storm hits.

Keep checking media coverage and tropical storm tracker sites on the internet.

Follow the hotel or accommodations guidelines.

Always keep your mobile phone fully charged.

Make sure your car is full of gas.

In case of a power cut, stock up on extra food.

Stock up on water.

Make sure you have access to cash in case ATM’s are out of order.

In the event you have to evacuate have a handy bag with toiletries, medications needed, and drinking water.

Theme Parks may close due to severe weather, be prepared to change your daily plans.

If severe stay indoors and wait.

Listen and adhere to what the authorities say.

Use common sense.

Stay Safe!

Sheltering from a Thunderstorm in Disney Springs Orlando Florida.

Central Florida can be very hot and sunny most of the time but Thunderstorms do happen quite often. We were caught in one recently at Disney Springs and it was spectacular. As the sky got darker outdoor attractions began closing down, restaurants started to get busy, there was a feeling in the air that something big was going to happen, we had our raincoats at hand and found a place to shelter, listening to the rumbles of thunder that we're getting closer. The natural weather show was spectacular, scenes of amazing lightening filled the sky and very loud thunder seemed to be above our heads, the rain poured down and our meagre fairly open shelter was useless against the power of the rain. Shops were full with people sheltering, we decided to make a dash for it to an ice cream store where there was just enough room. We felt compelled to buy an ice cream, after all we were using their services! 

As the storm moved on, we dared to venture out onto very wet and sometimes flooded pavements, the volume and speed of water was so great it caused mini floods, which soon washed away.

After the storm which lasted about 45minutes  the sky cleared the sun was beaming down, the air fresh, everything was drying out and life went back to normal!

Enjoy Central Florida's Natural Surroundings at Shingle Creek Nr.Kissimmee.

Just off the US192 is the most wonderful recreational trail, as a visitor I was delighted to turn off the W. Irlo Bronson Memorial Hwy. nr marker 14 into a scenic parking lot, showcasing historical buildings from life in the 1880's with information plaques about Steffee Landing from The Osceola County Historical Society. This is located at the beginning of a leisure, bike, hike, canoe trail. It's picturesque surroundings entice you in, to wander further along the trail and experience some of Central Florida's beautiful natural environment. 

From the Paddling Center you can book a Kayaking, Canoeing, or Stand-Up Paddle Board Tour or rental and spend some time taking in the atmosphere of the creek's scenery and wildlife.
