Nice Restaurant with delicious food

The weather is great

I found Gator Bait Wakeboard/surf on google but read the reviews on TripAdvisor. The reviews were spot on. Great boat, great instructors. My boys 20 and 17 had wake boarded once before. Under Marcos and Joey tutelage not only did they get up on the first try, but over the course of 2 hours they reached the next level of skill. They also tried wake surfing and loved it. The two hours passed in a blink of an eye and the boys had a blast. It was a bit chilly (58 degrees) but no problems as Marcos had wet suits for the boys. #themepark#nationalpark#lakes#beaches

Sitting outside with the Miami sun shining down in this iconic cafe is an absolute dream. The plants are beautiful, with vivid blooms, and there is huge attention to detail in every aspect of this venue. #café

Designated a Florida Heritage Site the Constitution Museum in Port St. Joe, FL is a museum to commemorate where the FL constitution was signed making FL a state.

The museum has free parking and takes about 1 hour to visit. #merrychristmas #merrychristmas

The American left-hand steering wheel is not unfamiliar. It is open to the hotel all the way. It happens to meet the hotel's afternoon music. The light music makes the exhaustion sweep away. The music elements everywhere in the hotel are even the band at the door. The singer's photos, the ubiquitous sense of exquisiteness, but with a relaxed and casual. Champagne, fruit, music, and a spacious balcony with a view to the blue sea. Looking at the railings, everything on the beach is the most pleasant sight on the resort. Florida is called the sunshine state. It's really not fake. Hotel: Hard Rock Hotel Daytona Beach Address: 918 North Atlantic Avenue

Clearwater Beach is on the west coast of Florida, near the Gulf of Mexico. Our Hilton Clearwater Bay hotel is next to Clearwater Bay Beach and can be reached in less than a minute. The fine white sand of Clear Water Bay Beach, the sunset of the beautiful Gulf of Mexico, and the rainbow that appeared after Pier 60 in the rain are my unforgettable memories at Clearwater Bay Beach. It is worth remembering for a long time.

Ever since the beloved Main Street Electrical Parade departed from Magic Kingdom, fans have eagerly anticipated a new nighttime parade. Recently, Disney announced that the Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away is scheduled to debut on July 20, 2025. This new parade will attract visitors with its enchanting lights, music, and spectacular floats.

The Cape Florida Lighthouse Tower is a stunning spot offering panoramic views of the beautiful Biscayne Bay. Climbing the spiral staircase reveals a breathtaking panorama, especially during sunset, which is truly moving. The historical background of the lighthouse is fascinating, with its 19th-century architecture carefully preserved to this day. The surrounding Bill Baggs State Park is perfect for a leisurely stroll, offering beaches and natural beauty to enjoy. With convenient access, this is an excellent destination to immerse yourself in Florida's history and scenic landscapes.

If you're planning a trip to Walt Disney World in Florida, consider staying at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort. From the moment you step into the hotel, you'll be captivated by its vibrant animation theme. The lobby is designed to resemble an animation studio, with walls adorned with concept art and sketches from Disney classics like "The Little Mermaid," "The Lion King," "Cars," and "Finding Nemo." Each piece of artwork is brimming with energy and creativity, showcasing the dedication and passion of Disney animators. The lighting and decor in the lobby are equally unique, with orange and yellow light strips that seem to narrate animated stories. Even the colorful carpets add to the cheerful and relaxed atmosphere. We stayed in a "Finding Nemo" themed family suite, and the room's design transported us straight into Nemo and Dory's underwater world. The headboard featured a pink coral reef design, while the walls were decorated with Crush-themed accents. The blue ocean-patterned carpet, complete with coral and fish motifs, made it feel like we were living underwater. The room also had an ocean-themed dining table surrounded by orange chairs, with starfish and coral designs on the tabletop. Additionally, there was a dynamic red sofa with striped patterns that perfectly matched the ocean theme. A large mural on the wall depicted Nemo, Dory, and other characters swimming among the coral reefs. Beyond the rooms, the rest of the hotel is just as enchanting! Art of Animation has four themed areas: "The Little Mermaid," "The Lion King," "Cars," and "Finding Nemo." Each area features large character sculptures and themed decor. The hotel’s pool is inspired by "Finding Nemo," and you can hear the voices of Nemo and his friends interacting with you while swimming, making it feel like you're playing alongside them. Staying at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort is truly an unforgettable experience! From the animation art in the lobby to the themed room designs and the hotel's facilities and environment, every corner is filled with Disney magic and creativity.

#earthdayjourney Shark Valley: Biking Through Nature 🚲 We explored Shark Valley on bicycles, a perfect eco-friendly way to immerse ourselves in the Everglades without disturbing wildlife. This 15-mile loop took us through lush wetlands, where we spotted alligators, herons, and even a rare snail kite. The observation tower at the halfway point gave us breathtaking panoramic views of the Everglades. This sustainable travel option reduces carbon emissions and allows visitors to appreciate nature at a slower pace. I would recommend bringing a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated under the Florida sun. Address: Shark Valley Visitor Center, 36000 SW 8th St, Miami, FL 33194, USA Ten Thousand Islands: Kayaking Through Mangroves 🛶 We ventured into the Ten Thousand Islands, a stunning maze of mangroves and waterways, on a guided kayaking tour. Paddling through these waters was a peaceful and sustainable way to explore the delicate ecosystem. The mangroves act as natural carbon sinks, helping to fight climate change, and our guide emphasized the importance of protecting them from pollution and habitat destruction. I would recommend joining a tour that supports local conservation projects to ensure your visit benefits the environment. Address: Gulf Coast Visitor Center, 815 Oyster Bar Ln, Everglades City, FL 34139, USA Anhinga Trail: A Walk Among Wildlife 🦩 We walked the Anhinga Trail, an easy boardwalk path that offers close encounters with Everglades wildlife. This trail is a great example of sustainable tourism because it minimizes human impact while allowing people to connect with nature. We saw turtles basking in the sun, fish swimming in the clear water, and birds soaring above. The Everglades restoration projects help maintain this fragile ecosystem, making this trail a must-visit for anyone who cares about conservation. I would recommend visiting early in the morning to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and spot the most wildlife. Address: Royal Palm Visitor Center, 40001 State Hwy 9336, Homestead, FL 33034, USA Traveling sustainably in the Everglades means respecting nature, choosing low-impact activities, and supporting conservation efforts. Let’s continue to explore our planet responsibly 🌎

After starting off my Disney journey at Tokyo Disney in January 2024 and continuing with Disneyland Paris half a year later, I had been dreaming of ticking off Disney World in Florida! ✨ After booking the most spontaneous trip to Florida just days before our departure, we quickly settled on at least visiting Magic Kingdom and the Universal Studios as we love rollercoasters. Now, I will say that in terms of rides, Islands of Adventure at Universal definitely takes the crown but we ended up going on the Monday right after the holiday break, which unfortunately turned out to be the busiest day of that week :/ Nonetheless, amazing rollercoasters! For me as a big Potterhead, getting to see the Hogwarts Castle and Hogsmeade was a definite highlight as well as Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure despite the long wait times. In terms of thrilling rides both the Incredible Hulk Coaster and VelociCoaster are a must! We did Dr Doom's Fearfall a couple of times as the wait times were relatively short (10 minutes). Beautiful view over the park especially at night-time If you decide to go on Dudley Do-Right's Ripsaw Falls be warned that you will definitely get wet - and not just a little! 🌊 Magic Kingdom was a more family-friendly alternative with all of the standard rides that you know and love. The new Tiana's Bayou Adventure ride was a beautiful experience with great views, music and a less wet but still splashy experience! In terms of merchandise I had high hopes for MK but I think after having experienced the extraordinarily cute and unique merchandise in Tokyo, the US merch just didn't excite me as much especially not for the incredibly high prices :/ The fireworks were breathtaking and everything I had hoped for if not better! 🎆Beautiful soundtrack and I loved Tinkerbell flying above our heads! If you are looking to take a break from theme parks for a day, I can highly recommend visiting the little community of Winter Park. They have some cute cafés, art galleries, little shops and a particularly well-organised and unique book shop. Unfortunately, we weren't there for the Sunday markets but I've heard good things about them as well. Given that we were flying in and out of Miami, we also took a day trip into Everglades National Park for a little walk starting from the Shark Valley visitor centre. The entrance fee was 30USD for us as we entered by car. If you don't feel like walking you can either rent bikes or hop onto their little tram, which will take you all the way to the observation tower and back. We encountered about 26 alligators🐊 within the first 4km of our walk but then decided to turn around as the parking lot closes at 6pm. All in all it's a nice walk but the scenery does get a little repetitive, which is why spotting the different wildlife is super fun! Obviously, we couldn't leave Miami without also stopping by Miami Beach. Just like expected it was very touristy but the beach itself actually wasn't that busy so we opted to walk along the shore for a bit. Lots of restaurants to choose from and we did pass by a drag show on our way back to the car :)) 🌈 All in all, a perfect break from Europe's cold January though admittedly, Florida's 3°C at night and 12°C on some days weren't much better during our week there :)) #trip #disney #nationalpark #usa #familytrip #winterescape #spontaneoustrips #harrypotter #universalstudios
