The moment we've been dreaming about for years has FINALLY arrived...we've found our home in ORLANDO!!
What started as a simple love for the theme parks and travel has grown into a full-blown lifestyle pivot, and now we're officially one step closer to living in the heart of the magic✨Trading snowy sidewalks for sunshine and fireworks just feels right. This move isn't just about location-it's about creating new traditions, chasing magic, and building a life filled with wonder.
And what better way to start than with holiday season in Orlando??
Epcot's Festival of the Holidays 🎄🌎
One of the first events we're most excited to experience as locals is Epcot's Festival of the Holidays! This festival brings together holiday traditions from around the world with:
✨Storytellers in each World Showcase pavillion
🍪The famous Cookie Stroll
🎵 Live holiday music and performances
🎅🏻🎅🏾SANTA sightings around the park
🍹Seasonal food and drink offerings around the park inspired by global traditions
Walking around EPCOT during the holidays feels like traveling the world without leaving Disney property. It's cozy, festive, and magical in the most unique way.
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party🎆🏰
Of course, no Disney Holiday Season is complete without Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom--and we cannot wait!
This special-ticket event transforms the park into a holiday wonderland with:
🎄Christmas parades and fireworks
❄️Disney "snow" falling on Main Street
☕Complementary treats and hot cocoa
🎵Holiday ride overlays & exclusive entertainment ( I need to see Jennifer Gardner this year🥵🥵🥵!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
and all the characters dressed up in their holiday attire🥰
There's something incredibly nostalgic about celebrating Christmas inside Cinderella Castle's glow--and this year we get to FINALLY soak it all in without worrying about rushing to the airport😀🎉
Universal Orlando's Holiday Magic🧙🏻🎄
We're also looking forward to the holidays at Universal Orlando Resort, which offers its own kind of enchantment✨
🎄Grinchmas at Islands of Adventure
🎵Mannheim Steamroller Concerts
🪄Christmas in The Wizardly World of Harry Potter
🎆Holiday parade at Universal Studios Florida
From Whoville mischief to butterbeer under snowy rooftops, Universal Orlando during the holidays is pure storytelling magic--and we plan to experience all of it!
A Season of Firsts (And Forever Memories)✨
This year feels extra special. It's more than decorations and fireworks and presents under the tree--it's the beginning of our life as Florida locals, content creators, and full-time magic hunters💫.
We cannot wait to share all that we explore, might take some time but those videos are coming!
