The town of Celebration , Florida, is community in Osceola County United States, located near Walt Disney World Resort (Disney Florida). The community was master-planned and originally developed by The Walt Disney Company and the design is very pleasing and clean-cut. It is part of the Orlando–Kissimmee Metropolitan Statistical Area and has a population of around 10,000 people. If you’re staying in …
We’ve been moving around a lot over the last 3 weeks of our USA road trip. We’ve driven from NYC to Canada to Florida in a hire car. Petrol, car hire, road tolls, food, what’s the most expensive part of a USA road trip? Even travelling the way we do, as cheaply as possible, one …
Queues at Disney World and all of the Disney Parks can be long. Standing in line for over an hour for a ride isn’t unusual. But if you plan your day, get there early, and take advantage of queue-beating offers, queues become less of a headache. Here are some ways to beat the queues at …
We love finding unexpected things as we travel around the world, yesterday was a cracker. Finding the USA’s answer to Nessy in Darien Georgia came totally out of the blue and was a delight for all of us. No, we didn’t actually see her. But we talked to a lady who had a friend who …
We only stopped for a couple of hours in Charleston, South Carolina on our USA road trip but we absolutely loved it. We should have stayed longer. We try to pick where we spend the night based on a quick morning internet scan to see what accommodation prices are like. There was nothing under $50 …
We pulled into Myrtle Beach, South Carolina last night and headed straight for the beach for the boys to have a run around. They do amazingly well in the car, we’d had a relatively short drive by our standards, around 5 hours of sitting still. Those little limbs needed to move. Myrtle Beach is beautiful! …
We like to try new foods as we travel around the world, but chocolate coated bacon? Seriously? We haven’t found anything that bizarre since Marmite flavoured fudge. We found this new and exciting culinary invention at the Bird in Hand Farmers’ Market deep in Amish country, Pennsylvania. It’s just up the road from the unusually …
There are two sides to Niagara Falls. No, not the US side and the Canada side. I mean the “Gosh isn’t nature amazing!” side and the crazy fun side. We enjoyed both, although the crazy fun side of Niagara falls, Clifton Hill, came as a complete surprise to us, we weren’t expecting that at all. We …
Yes Intercourse USA really exists and supposedly, it has the most stolen sign in the whole of the country. Intercourse PA, in Lancaster County Pennsylvania is a bit of a tourist hot spot as it sits squarely in beautiful Amish Country. We had to visit Intercourse town as part of our USA road trip and this part …
Yesterday, on a whim, we drove for 6 hours to see Niagara Falls. We were in Lancaster, Pennsylvania and figured we were about as close to Niagara Falls as we would ever get, so why not? We arrived fairly late on the USA side of the falls, near Buffalo, New York State and took a …
We came at New York pretty much blind, I’d done almost no research on what to do nor where to go. All we had organised was a 4-night stay in a Holiday Inn not far from Times Square. Times Square sounds like a good place to stay, right? Check current prices on our bargain Times Square …
This morning the boys and I went to Ripley’s Believe It Or Not New York, just off Times Square in New York City. I’d never been to a museum like it before and I really didn’t know too much about it. We loved it! I thought it would be about Guinness World Record breakers mostly. …
