Orlando Trip! Magic Kingdom, Harry Potter, Star Wars!

 

After a week spent in Orlando, I am happy to be back home with my kitties! Orlando was a lot of fun, very hot, and very humid. The very first day we went to Magic Kingdom to see The Not So Scary Halloween Party.


We also got to ride Tron. It did not disappoint! It's the most exhilarating and intense two minutes of my life! If you're a rollercoaster fan, you definitely need to experience Tron. If you can, try and ride it at night. We managed to get on the virtual queue and it was about an hour before our number came up. The line took about 30 minutes or so to get through. All in all, worth it! 


So cool.


Around 10:15, the fireworks started and lasted for about 20 to 25 minutes or so. I loved every second of it!


We also went to Universal, mostly for Harry Potter. This is my third time going so I didn't take as many pics and videos. It was my first time going on Hagrid's Motorbike ride! So much fun! I just found out they are expanding the Harry Potter world and are going to open the Ministry of Magic in 2025! I can't wait to experience the Floo Network. 😅 I'm a big Harry Potter fan. 



The most amazing chocolate sorbet.

Disney Springs. I love palm trees.

Had dinner at Jaleo.

Spinach with apples and raisins.

Star Wars!


This is my first time visiting Star Wars Galaxy's Edge so I took a lot of photos. It's pretty amazing to see in person, but I think the Wizarding World of Harry Potter is way more immersive. I loved seeing the Storm Troopers walking around. That is something I would like to see at the Harry Potter side. Would be so cool to see a Snape or Dumbledore walking around but I'm sure they would be harassed to no end!





Jared really wanted to customize his own lightsaber but unfortunately all the time slots were already booked for the day. Next time, I'll make sure he makes a reservation way in advance! He did custom make his own droid. Fairly pricey but so much fun. This was $119 plus whatever add ons you wanted. In the end it was probably closer to $200. Comes with a remote control and the personality chips are $18 a pop. 


Before and after add ons.

And yes, we chased the cats around for a bit. That was fun! 😆

Domu


Domu was an excellent ramen joint with amazing chicken wings! Fully enjoyed it and my sister who has been to Japan said it was comparable. Happy to be back home but not happy I have to go back to the office this week! It goes by so fast. That's it for me! Hope you all have an amazing start to a new week!

We tried HelloFresh for the past two months - Here's our review

Hi everyone! This post is written by my husband. Some of you may know he does all the cooking around here. 😅 We noticed we were spending a lot of money on food and eating out every month and wanted to see if a meal kit service would save us money and time. After looking at a few meal kit services we settled on HelloFresh. Without further ado, here's Jared's review. (Original post date Aug 2022). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As you may have seen from Leslie's Instagram stories for the past 2 months, we've been using HelloFresh for most of our meals. The main drivers for this were to better track what we eat and because on the advice of my doctor, I should be eating more home cooked meals. Before I go any further, it should be noted that my original career path was in culinary arts, but twists and turns in life changed that. So I do have formal cooking experience. A little background story. Over the years, I've developed

Review! Lululemon's Large Everywhere Belt Bag Size Comparison Plus Video!

  Happy Friday! I can't believe it's almost Halloween! I actually have a dentist appointment on Halloween. One of my molars chipped and needs to be filled in. It's a tiny chip that I didn't even notice until my dentist pointed it out to me during my last visit. I'm not looking forward to it at all since I will need local anesthesia. Anyway, today I have a belt bag size comparison review for you all! For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size 4 in Lululemon tops and bottoms.

Review! Everywhere Belt Bag Extended Strap VS Everywhere Belt Bag Original

  Happy May! Can't believe summer is right around the corner. I'm looking forward to visiting my family later this month. It's been nearly a year since I've been back to NYC. I'm already thinking about all the dim sum I'm going to cram in the 10 days I'm there! 😆  Today I have a review of the new  Everywhere Belt Bag Extended Strap  compared to the original  Everywhere Belt Bag  that is slowly being phased out. 😢  **** Update - The original Everywhere Belt Bag has been phased out completely.
