The Attic Some of you may already know, but I worked at the Hard Rock Cafe here in Orlando. For a long time. A really long time. I can tell you just about all there is to know about the brand and this particular location. The last couple years of […]
Escape From Gringotts ride vehicle cosplay
Harry Potter and the awesome cosplay I saw so many amazing cosplayers while at MegaCon on Friday! Being the theme park fan that I am, there was one that stood out more than the others. Complete with working lights and equipped with audio from the ride, The Harry Potter and […]
Unusual Snack From Universal
Some folks like to eat at fancy restaurants when they’re at theme parks. Others are ok with burgers from a counter service place. Pretzels, popcorn and churros are also yummy. But what if you wanted to try something a little outside your comfort zone? Well, Universal has you covered! In […]
Women’s Day!
Happy National Women’s Day! Today is a day where we honor and celebrate the women in our community. I mean, that really should be everyday, but I digress.

The Whos of Whoville: Then and Now

They’re seasonal characters that have cool makeup, wear cool clothes, and wander the streets of Seuss Landing (in between shows) interacting with guests and getting into mischief. The first video is from 2009. You can really see the […]
