Clermont, FL

January is strawberry season and what better way to celebrate than by picking some fresh ones at Southern Hill Farms? Clermont has a fun downtown area with many shops and restaurants to choose from. I visited Montrose Street Market for my lunch and am looking forward to trying more local spots on my next visit. Finally I take you to the Citrus Tower which is a vintage Florida attraction offering amazing views!

If you're still in the Christmas spirit, this video is for you! For 2023, make sure to book the Grinch breakfast as soon as it goes on sale. It sold out in 2022 a couple weeks after being out. Not only is there fun Universal holiday content but also a trip to Miracle, a Christmas themed bar where I get to try Hot Buttered Rum for the first time. Hope you had a happy holiday season!

Breakfast with the GRINCH! Holidays at Universal plus a Christmas Themed Bar!

Join along as I tour Leu Gardens for their Fairy Door Exhibit running until Nov 7, 2022. They have this event every year so this can also help you plan for next year if you're seeing it after the event ends. I visited right after they reopened from Hurricane Ian so it was nice to support. If you have any questions or want to see something specific to Orlando, let me know down in the comments. Please follow along for more fun travel and event videos!

Fairy Doors at Leu Gardens!

Time to visit for their 2nd year Howl O Scream in SeaWorld! Big fan of the experience here in regards to characters, theming and wait times. Monster Stomp was a fun variety show with singing, dancing, and knives! Was really impressed with the new scare zone Terrors of the Deep and their newest house Blood Beckoning. Leave any questions you may have down below and let me know if you plan on going to it!

Low Waits and Fun Scares at Howl O Scream Orlando!

So much is packed into this video but I tried to share all the best bits! Gallery of Legends is a fun photo spot to visit if you're staying at Universal's hotels. Dead Coconut Club is a must visit that continues the monster theme but with a tiki and lounge bonus. 
At the event itself, I share lots of scare zone interactions and their back stories! You have to walk through these areas all around the park and each one is so unique. Food and drinks are a must, especially when they are themed around Halloween! I also share most of the new Ghoulish show!
Leave any questions about the event down below and make sure to hit follow. :) Happy Halloween!
