INNSIDE SCOOP: WALMART NEIGHBORHOOD MARKET NOW OPEN

Family holidays can be expensive, especially when you’re in a resort area! Well, a new grocery store has opened about a mile away from our hotel that we think you need to know about! If you are up for a walk and in need of some groceries for your trip, this is a great place to start. The prices are much cheaper than anywhere in the resort area, and you don’t have to go too far to get it. You can also take a short cab ride if you plan on getting a lot of groceries. Now just to clarify, this is a Walmart Neighborhood Market and not a regular Walmart, so they focus on grocery items ONLY. The store itself is pretty sizeable for a grocery store so unless you’re looking for something pretty specialized, you are sure to find it here.  Continue reading

INNSIDE SCOOP: UNIVERSAL STUDIOS VIP EXPERIENCE

Thanks to our friends at Coach America Tours (Gray Line), I was able to see Universal Studios through their VIP experience! This is a package you can pay extra for that includes unlimited front-of-the line privileges, a private tour guide for you and a small group, and a buffet lunch. I got a little picture happy with this post, so I hope you all enjoy! Continue reading

IN THE SPOTLIGHT: STARLIGHT CHILDREN’S FOUNDATION VISITS HOJO

The HoJo had the enormous privilege of hosting some amazing kids and their families recently from the Starlight Children’s Foundation. Starlight creates programs that help brighten the lives of seriously ill children and their families. Their “Great Escapes” program organizes fun, family outings so we gave them the keys to the Pirate Ship at our popular Castaway Cove water playground! From the looks of it, they had a blast! This is one of the HoJo’s favorite ways to give back to the community, and of course it all comes down to what we do best: FAMILY FUN! Continue reading
