Screaming Good Deals for Halloween Horror Nights

Screaming Good Deals for Halloween Horror Nights

Cue the chilling music, strobe lights, screams, chainsaws, and clowns. Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Orlando are back this year, and packages are available now to book. If being scared and chased is your thing, don’t miss out on Halloween Horror Nights. There’s plenty of scare zones and haunted houses to leave you sleeping with the lights on once you’re done. Quick disclaimer: Halloween Horror Nights is not recommended for children under 13 years old.

Halloween Horror Nights begin September 6th and run select nights through November 2nd. If you’re looking for a screaming good deal, here’s the perfect package for you.

BONUS: If you book by June 5th, 2019, you’ll get a 2nd event night free!!

The package includes the following:

  • 4-Night Hotel Accommodations
  • 3 Park 4 -Day Park to Park Ticket – This gives you access to Universal Studios, Universal’s Islands of Adventure, and Universal’s Volcano Bay
  • LIMITED TIME: 2019 Halloween Horror Nights Flex Sunday-Friday Plus 1 Night Free Promotional Ticket(valid for booking now-6/5/19 and use on any 2 Sunday-Friday event nights 9/6/19 – 11/1/19
  • Early Admission to 1 Universal Orlando theme park – TBD by Universal Orlando, which allows you admittance one hour before the park opens
  • Access to select live entertainment at Universal CityWalk

Perhaps the basic package isn’t enough to scare you, then I highly recommend adding on the R.I.P. Tour. This V.I.P. tour allows you priority access to your nightmares. Enjoy breezing past everyone in line and enter the haunted houses in your own V.I.P entrance. As someone who waited 2 hours for the Stranger Things haunted house last year, I would’ve killed (pun intended) for V.I.P. treatment.  This package starts at $191.69 per person.

Another option for add-ons is the Behind the Screams: Unmasking the Horror Tour.  This version takes place during the daytime and it’s a lights on version through the haunted houses. Prices start at $85.19 per person.

Keep in mind, Universal has some amazing resorts on property. My recommendation would be staying at one of the Premier Hotels which include Express Passes with your stay. Enjoy the entire day with minimal wait times and maximize your fun! Don’t let this screaming good deal for Halloween Horror Nights scare you! Get your packaged booked today and get a 2nd night free at Halloween Horror Nights.

Modern Family Picked Up For It’s 11th And Final Season

Modern Family Final Season

Modern Family Final Season

ABC announced today that Modern Family‘s 11th season will be its last.  This brings the Emmy award-winning show to a close after 10 highly acclaimed years.  A five-time Emmy winner for Outstanding Comedy Series, “Modern Family” remains one of the most heavily awarded comedy series on television.

Co-creators Christopher Lloyd and Steve Levitan have made new deals for the final season, along with the original child actors, who are now all young adults.  Back in December, the adult cast agreed to new deals with 20th Century Fox, all but finalizing the 11th season as a done-deal.

Modern Family follows Ed O’Neill as the patriarch of the Pritchett family. Each of his children, and his own family, representing three different types of
“modern family” (nuclear, step, and same-sex).  For 10 years the extended members of the Pritchett family have delighted us with their heartfelt, and often hilarious storylines. They’ve faced turning points in life and carried the audience along for the ride as well.

The final season will debut in the Fall of 2019-2020, consisting of at least 18 episodes to start.  Modern Family airs on The ABC Television Network on Wednesday nights at 9 pm EST, as well as streaming and on demand.

Are you sad to see Modern Family go?  Let us know in the comments!

New Super Bowl Food Trend at the Disney Parks!

New Super Bowl Food Trend at the Disney Parks!

Coast to coast, things are constantly changing at the Disney Parks. One of those changes being the introduction of delectable eats! From bao buns to ramen, the chefs at Disney have been hard at work delivering new and exciting items.

Disney chefs gave the scoop on the newest super menu item: bowls!

According to Chef de Cuisine of the Disneyland Resort, Mark Baun, a bowl starts with a base of white or brown rice, topped some sort of protein, and finished with a variety of fresh toppings like pickled cucumbers, watermelon, or tons of vegetables.

Lenny DeGeorge, the Culinary Director of Animal Kingdom, says, “ The story (of the bowls) is how (their) ingredients fit the theme. At Satu’li Canteen, for example, employees are using Pandora-inspired ingredients.” He also explains that the goal of a food bowl is to spark all five taste sensations: salty, sour, sweet, bitter, and umami.

From the Berbere-spiced Pork Ribs with cilantro rice from Harambe Market to the Asian Rice Bowl at Lucky Fortune Cookery, guests really can’t go wrong with this meal choice! Filling, delicious, and adora-bowl to look at!

Keep an eye out for new super bowls on the park menus!
