Mickey's not so scary Halloween party at Disney 2012

Disney’s The Magic Kingdom is home to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, a special event that takes place every year in September and October. Many of those who have attended this event in the past few years claim that it is the best party at Disney World.

Kids are encouraged to come dressed to impress. At least half of the people who come here wear costumes. Guest can experience the one-of-a-kind Mickey’s Halloween Parade, enjoy spectacular fireworks, and trick-or-treat with their favorite Disney characters.

As its name suggest, this yearly event is “not-so-scary.” Grownups and children alike are encouraged to trick-or-treat around the Magic Kingdom while dressed up in Halloween costumes. The special effects are all around you.

Universal Studios Halloween horror nights 2012

Alrighty folks, it’s time for my big Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights 2012 article! This marks the 22nd year of Halloween Horror nights, and it gets better each year, for the most part.

Like last year the nights consist of 3 basic components. The haunted houses, street freaks and the live shows. This year they have 7 haunted houses, 6 areas with different freaks running around and 2 live shows.

Now Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights is a special event, which means that a normal theme park ticket does NOT include this. You have to purchase a separate ticket for this. Gates open at 6:30 PM each night.

Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights, small kids allowed?

August 30, 2012 by

Halloween horror nights

Well it’s almost time for Universal Studios Halloween horror nights! I thought I would discuss the age limits of kids to this event, and what age seems to be too young.

Now officially there is NO age limit in place for Halloween horror nights. You can bring your 2 month old baby to this event if you want to. I have seen people pushing kids around in a stroller that are only 2 to 4 years old.

What Universal Studios does say is that the event may be too intense for young kids and is not recommended for kids under the age of 13. This makes sense to me; I don’t think any kids under 13 should go to this.

Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights tickets out now for 2012!

June 19, 2012 by

Universal Studios halloween horror nights tickets for 2012

Very soon I will make a post outlining this years 2012 Universal Studios Halloween Horror nights events. But for now let me just announce that you can already buy tickets for this years horror-fest.

I must say however that the pricing structure seems rather complex. They must make a hell of a lot off this event to put so many different prices and nights together.

Basically they have an all around general admission ticket for the horror nights for $88.99. Then they have tickets good for both a full day in the park plus the nighttime horror nights events.

As always I’m a bit late with some event news, but better late than never right! I wanted to let you know about this years Universal Studios summer concert series bands and shows for 2012.

For those who don’t know what it is, Universal has top bands that play each Saturday night during the peak summer months. You do NOT need a special ticket to see them, it’s included with your normal theme park ticket.

However the bands always play in the Music Plaza stage, which is located in the Universal Orlando park, the “old” park. So if you buy tickets to get into that park your covered.

5th annual doggie derby races this weekend at Baldwin Park, Orlando

April 23, 2012 by

5th annual doggie derby at Baldwin Park, Orlando

I’m going to start writing about more local events in the Orlando area, as I’m sure the locals would like to hear about other things than the theme parks all the time!

So today I wanted to let you all know about the 5th annual doggie derby that will take place this weekend at Baldwin Park, Orlando. It’s a really fun event that raises funds for a great cause.

This years doggie derby will be Saturday, April 28th 2012 from 9 AM to 2 PM. That’s this weekend. This year the money they raise will be going to the Stock the Pantry program.

The way the doggie derby works is that two dogs race each other side by side down a short 25 yard grassy track. They are divided into 4 different weight divisions.

They keep on racing until there is one winner for each division. Winners get a trophy in each class and the overall winner gets the grand prize. It’s fun for both the humans and dogs and often has funny results.

Besides the doggie derby there will be lots of food, drinks, live music, a kids activities area and lots of local pet vendors plus homeless pets ready for a loving home.

So come on out this weekend to the 5th annual doggie derby at Baldwin Park, Orlando and have a good time. I’ll be there taking pictures and videos. Check out my youtube video below I made of last years event! :)

What:
5th annual doggie derby
Saturday, April 28th 2012 from 9 AM to 2 PM

Daytona beach bike week picture gallery!

Bike week 2012 picture gallery

Well I made it up to the Daytona beach bike week for 2012, which ends this Sunday. The day I went was beautiful, sunny and not too hot or cold. Now most bikers want to go down to Main Street during bike week.

That is where all the bars, food shacks, biker shops and wet T shirt contest are going on! It’s also where all the bikers drive up and down the road, letting everyone see all the different kinds of bikes everyone has.

But it’s also damn crowded, and as someone who goes to the local theme parks a lot, I have my fill of crowds! So my favorite place to go during bike week is at the Daytona speedway, where they have the Daytona 500 races.
