Did you know there’s another place in Orlando besides Disney World where you can meet a mermaid?
We just met a mermaid!
SEA LIFE Orlando is a huge aquarium located in Orlando’s ICON Park, right in front of The Orlando Eye. They have tons of exhibits featuring marine life and experiences. Now, you can meet a mermaid at the popular aquarium, and that’s exactly what we did!
Flying has many specific rules, and some of them you won’t know until you’re there at the airport or on the flight, especially if you haven’t flown in a while, or it’s new to you.

Don’t worry, that’s why we’re here! We fly and travel ALL the time, and even when we’re not, we keep up with all the latest news so you can feel up-to-date and prepared before your trip begins. One of the essentials we say are VERY important for your Disney World trips are none other than portable chargers, because trust us, your phone WILL die in the parks otherwise. However, when you’re flying with it, there’s a rule you CANNOT break!
If you’re anything like us, your jaws probably hit the floor when it was announced earlier this week that Spirit Airlines had gone under overnight, and now, we’re here to tell you that another prominent travel option could be in trouble as well.
Brightline Train Station
The Brightline train runs multiple different routes around Florida, making travel much easier for those who don’t prefer to drive, can’t drive anymore for any reason, or who don’t like to fly. While there have been talks of a west coast expansion, and last year there were talks of Brightline using a $400 million bond to pay for the “design, development, acquisition, construction” of a rail system towards Tampa, it’s now looking like things may not be working out as the company wanted.

One of our ultimate favorites is Dapper Days, which takes place in both Disney World and Disneyland throughout the year. However, if you’re not into dressing up fancy but prefer more of a darker style, then Bats Day is 100% for you. It just happened in Disneyland recently, but if you missed it, don’t worry — the 2027 date has just been announced!

Packing a carry-on sounds simple until you’re standing in your bedroom surrounded by a pile of stuff that absolutely will not fit, staring down a budget airline’s personal item policy like it personally wronged you.

Anyone who’s traveled to Disney World on a Frontier flight (or any budget airline) knows the particular stress of trying to avoid bag fees while still bringing everything you need for the parks.
