Three Reasons to Discover Epcot’s Kidcot Fun Stops

By Mark

IMG_5938-1Yes, the kids will love Epcot – and they’ll dig Kidcot the most!

What in the world is a Kidcot Fun Stop?

Since Epcot is a little more adult-centric (as opposed to Magic Kingdom), the Kidcot Fun Stops are a way to keep some of the smaller kids a part of the fun at Epcot.

Kidcot Stops will appeal to the younger ones with some crafts, and to the just-a-bit-older ones through direct engagement with cast members who are natives of the country you’re visiting. [Read more…]

By Mark

Have you seen the IllumiNations fireworks show at Epcot yet?

It lasts just under 15 minutes and is the perfect way to end a day at Epcot.

If you’re staying at one of the resorts close to Epcot – Beach Club, Yacht Club, Boardwalk – it’s an easy stroll back home after the show.

There is a ton of great information online about IllumiNations, from the official Disney page to sites like All Ears and WDWMagic. The big question is always:

Margaritaville…A Great Place for the Kids?!?

MB2014-1Happy 2014 from Myrtle Beach!

Happy New Year!

We took a little of our own advice.

Since we couldn’t arrange that Christmas in the Caribbean this year, we are enjoying some time at the Dunes Village Resort in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

The Dunes has an indoor water park that is perfect for this time of year, keeps the kids engaged and laughing, and keeps the parents calm with a cool drink and five different hot tubs. The rooms are comfortable and inexpensive (during the winter, anyway). The wifi is strong, and even the rain outside is not spoiling anyone’s good mood. [Read more…]

Three Low Cost Winter Getaways!

By Mark

December 27, 2013

Low cost winter getaways?!

Does such a thing exist?

If you’re thinking the Caribbean or the slopes of Aspen, no it doesn’t.

Epic winter getaways to warm and sunny places (or to popular ski resort areas) take some advanced planning – such trips also tend to be expensive.

For those of us in the Southeast though, many options exist for quick, inexpensive, and often times even warm winter getaways. Just look to our coast: the beaches and coastal towns of North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia hold many options. [Read more…]
