One last Orlando review… and this one involves grown-up Hot Pockets, day drinking and a husband who lovingly calls Disney Springs “the worst Disney park.”

Our last day in Orlando was intentionally a Disney Springs day.

I've been to Disney so many times that these days I LOVE having something new and shiny to try, while still revisiting my favorites, and this trip, Six Ravens was at the top of my list.

If you're more familiar with Disneyland, Disney Springs is basically Walt Disney World's MUCH larger cousin to Downtown Disney. It's an entire shopping, dining and entertainment destination in itself.

My husband calls it “the worst Disney park.”

I remind him, “It's not a park.”

His response every single time: “You got that right.” 😂

And yet… the man LOVES World of Disney, so make that make sense.

World of Disney is basically the mothership of Disney shopping, and right now Halloween has completely taken over a huge section. 🎃 I grabbed PJ a little set of Stitch rings because apparently we're in our “children can wear rings?!” era, and Alicia and I searched high and low for the specific ears she wanted for her daughter Toni.

No luck.

Which brings me back to one of my Disney merchandise rules: if you see something you really want, buy it. Cast Members told us they'd had the ears, but there hadn't been many and they were already gone.

I also made my obligatory stop at Basin because my husband and I are smell people. I usually bring him home their seasonal Disney soaps, but this time he got honey almond and French lavender hand soaps. One is already on his side of our bathroom sink and another is destined for his classroom.

Those fit in my carry-on.

A giant Gideon's cookie? Debatable.

I almost always bring him one home, but between the Orlando heat, my already-questionable luggage situation and the fact that Six Ravens had completely filled us up, I admitted defeat.

Which finally brings me to SIX RAVENS. 🐦‍⬛

It's the new savory concept from the creators of Gideon's Bakehouse, and the stars are their Coffyns: hand-pie-style sandwiches completely enclosed in a house-made yeast roll.

My description?

A grown-up Hot Pocket. And I mean that in EVERY good way possible.

I ordered The Wizard's Wonder at the cashier's recommendation: mac & cheese, pulled pork and pickled poblano peppers inside a BBQ-crumb-covered Coffyn.

SO GOOD.

It comes with a smoke & cherry BBQ dipping sauce that was much too sweet for me… and I normally love sweet + savory. One dip and I was out. The Coffyn itself didn't need it anyway.

Alicia ordered The Moreish Monk, essentially their elevated grilled cheese with Vermont white cheddar, Havarti and tomato jam. We obviously tried each other's, and hers paired beautifully with the creamy tomato-basil-style Wolf Peach dipping sauce.

And then apparently we decided very early lunch was cocktail hour.

Put the word mango in a beverage description and I'm helpless, so I ordered the Florida Sunshine Mango wheat lager. I'm not normally much of a beer drinker because it fills me up, but Orlando was HOT and this was light, cold and surprisingly refreshing.

Alicia had the Sideward Cider. Her official review:
“It was really crisp and refreshing, good for a hot day, not heavy.”

Her less-official follow-up:
“I just was entirely too full and drank too early.” 😂

Same, girl. Same. Neither of us could finish our drinks.

My Six Ravens verdict?
👍 BIG YES.

Disney Springs has fantastic table-service restaurants, sweets and bars, but I think Six Ravens fills a gap: really good, interesting, savory grab-and-go food that's filling without costing a fortune by Disney standards.

Our Coffyns were $10.99 each, and neither Alicia nor I could finish ours. We're admittedly not huge eaters, so bigger appetites may want their own… but if you're snackers like us, they're substantial.

My one real con: there's no seating.

It's designed as grab-and-go, which makes sense, but unlike grabbing a Gideon's cookie that you can stash for later, this is hot food that you really want to eat while it's fresh. Finding somewhere nearby to stop and enjoy it would make the experience better.

Still, for me?

🐦‍⬛ Six Ravens absolutely goes on the “I'd eat there again” list.

And if you're planning Walt Disney World, don't automatically treat Disney Springs like an afterthought. It's enormous, there is a LOT there, and depending on your family, it can easily be worth carving out some time for it.

Just don't tell my husband I called it an attraction. He'll start calling it the worst Disney park again.

Okay, this was a pretty fun way to start the “-ber” months. 🍁

I’m incredibly grateful to be recognized as a Top 10 Advisor with 1923 Travel again, but there was another little surprise in our agency newsletter this month!

🌎 EPIC UNIVERSE + HELIOS Hotel Review + Tips

This was actually Day 2 of our trip, because apparently I'm telling this trip report in absolutely no particular order.

After Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party the night before, we slept at All-Star Music and had one goal: leave the room by 8 AM.

We left at 8:16.
I was ridiculously proud of us.

We grabbed an Uber to Universal Helios Grand Hotel, and the second I walked into the lobby I knew I was at a Universal hotel.

Disney and Universal hotels have a SMELL. They just do. Especially the nicer resorts. I don't know what they're pumping through those vents, but it works.

☀️ HELIOS GRAND HOTEL
Helios is Universal's gorgeous 4-star, Mediterranean-inspired hotel located right at Epic Universe.

Years ago, I remember standing in Universal's preview center looking at the enormous model of Epic Universe thinking, "They're REALLY going to build all of this?!"

And now I was standing inside it.

At Magic Kingdom, Cinderella Castle draws your eye. At Disneyland, it's Sleeping Beauty Castle.

At Epic Universe, Helios is part of that grand focal point, and the views from the hotel are incredible.

Even better, Helios has its own dedicated entrance into Epic Universe. Disney people: think Beach Club and the International Gateway into EPCOT. THAT convenient.

⭐️ TIP: Your room doesn't have to be ready! We left our luggage with Bell Services, took approximately 4,827 pictures overlooking Epic and headed into the park.

♿️ SOMETHING I RARELY TALKED ABOUT...

I have a disability.

I'm not going to share my diagnosis publicly because that's private. I was actually nervous about sharing this at all, but if my experience helps one of my clients, it's worth talking about.

And if someone judges me for using an accommodation I qualify for...that's their problem, not mine. 🤷🏻‍♀️

There have been times at Disney and Universal when I've looked at an extended queue and told my family or friends, "I'll meet you when you're done." I knew I couldn't manage it.

Before this trip, I completed Universal's accessibility process and was approved for the Attractions Assistance Pass (AAP).

This was my first time using it, and it worked incredibly well for me.

Instead of remaining in an extended conventional queue, eligible guests can receive a return time and wait differently. You're not skipping the wait, it's an accommodation.

Between that and VERY low crowds, I was able to experience basically every major attraction I had prioritized.

And WOW.

🐉 Favorite themed land: How to Train Your Dragon Isle of Berk.

⚡️ Favorite queue: Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry. I almost CRIED walking through it. My friends had already visited Epic several times, so watching my reactions apparently became part of their entertainment.

🎢 Current Top 3 coasters:

1. Stardust Racers
2. Jurassic World VelociCoaster
3. Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind

I said what I said.

🧄 But one of my favorite details of the entire park?

We walked into the tavern in Dark Universe and I immediately said:

"IT SMELLS LIKE GARLIC."

Everyone looked at me...then looked around.

Garlic. Everywhere.

OF COURSE a tavern surrounded by monsters and vampires smells like garlic.

Garlic happens to be one of my favorite smells because cooking reminds me of my grandmother, who taught me to cook. So of all the massive, technologically impressive things Universal built, THAT tiny sensory detail stuck with me.

And that's Epic Universe.
It's not just rides.
It's the sights, sounds, smells, food, merchandise and tiny details everywhere you look.

🍜 We had dinner at The Blue Dragon Pan-Asian Restaurant in Celestial Park. Pan-Asian wouldn't normally be my first pick, but the food was good, beautifully presented, and the restaurant itself is STUNNING.

Universal really stepped up its game with the dining, shopping and overall atmosphere at Epic.

Then Florida did Florida things. 🌧️

It started pouring, we'd accomplished our must-dos, and we decided to head back to Helios.

That's when we discovered we'd been upgraded to a THEME PARK VIEW ROOM.

HOLY. COW.

We sat overlooking Epic Universe as the rain came down and watched the already-light crowds turn into tiny poncho-covered ants below us.

We had planned to go back and ride Stardust Racers at night.

We didn't.
And that's okay.

Because one of the questions clients ask me ALL the time is:

"Is one day enough?"

My answer is always: Enough for WHAT?

Enough to experience your priorities? Possibly.
Enough to do absolutely everything? No.

And even with unusually low crowds, I could have easily spent TWO DAYS at Epic Universe.

🚨 Which brings me to my biggest takeaway:

UNIVERSAL ORLANDO IS NOT A 1- OR 2-DAY DISNEY ADD-ON ANYMORE.

It is a vacation destination.

Universal Studios Florida. Islands of Adventure. Epic Universe. Volcano Bay. CityWalk. Resort hotels. Dining. Entertainment.

If time and budget allowed, I could easily build a week-long Universal Orlando vacation.

For some families, I'm going to start recommending something different:

✨ Do Disney this vacation.�🌎 Do Universal the next.

Instead of exhausting yourselves trying to cram both into one trip, actually EXPERIENCE them.

🎟️ EPIC TIP: Give yourself time. If your ticket allows multiple Epic visits, USE THEM. If Universal Express makes sense for your dates and budget, consider it.

And yes, I'm saying that knowing I don't earn commission on Express Pass. If I think something will materially improve your vacation, I'm going to tell you whether it pays me or not.

🚿 ONE LAST HELIOS TIP:

Ask what amenities you can continue using after checkout!

On our final day we came back from Disney Springs approximately 97% sweat. Our luggage was stored with Bell Services, so I grabbed clean travel clothes.

We found showers inside the fitness center, complete with toiletries. I showered, changed and headed to the airport feeling HUMAN again.
Considering flight delays got me home after midnight, that shower may have saved lives.

After finally experiencing Universal Epic Universe and staying at Universal Helios Grand Hotel, my biggest takeaway isn't a ride hack.

It's this:

🌎 Universal Orlando has evolved into a full vacation destination.

And after experiencing it myself, it's absolutely changing how I plan Universal Orlando vacations for my clients. ❤️

Halloween Horror Nights Orlando 2026: My HHN 35 Experience + Tips

I’ve been to Universal Orlando Halloween Horror Nights many times. I’ve done the R.I.P. Tour, regular HHN admission with Express Pass, and now Premium Scream Night.

And every single trip has been different.

This year might have been my favorite, and ironically, I barely planned it.

One of my best friends, Alicia, convinced me I needed to come, and my friend and assistant Maegan was able to join us. I’d been so focused on work that I almost didn’t take this trip.

Turns out, I really needed it. ❤️

And Alicia, being the glorious theme-park nerd that she is, found us something I had NEVER tried before:

👻 HHN Premium Scream Night

Premium Scream Night is a limited-capacity Halloween Horror Nights event with dramatically lower crowds, select food and nonalcoholic drinks included, and much shorter waits.

Our experience?

Our longest wait for a haunted house was around SEVEN MINUTES.

We did all 10 HHN houses, and still had time to repeat our favorites.

🩸 Sinners: MY #1. The music, atmosphere, storytelling and sets were incredible. And whoever Universal cast as the Michael B. Jordan character when I went through… SIR. The resemblance was distracting.

🎸 Ozzy Osbourne: Prince of Darkness: Alicia’s favorite, so we did it twice.

🧇 Stranger Things 5: Extremely recognizable if you watch the series and understandably one of the most popular houses.

The remaining houses included Hellraiser, Evil Dead Burn, Jack & Oddfellow: Chaos & Control, H.R. Bloodengutz, MADLANDS, Cybergoria and INVASION: Alien Abduction.

And this is the thing I always try to explain about Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Orlando:

These aren’t just haunted houses where somebody jumps out and yells BOO.

They’re basically horror movie sets you walk through.

The scenery. Lighting. Music. Sound effects. Smells. Makeup. Costumes. Scareactors.

Universal tells a STORY inside these houses, and the production quality is one of the reasons we keep coming back.

⚠️ Parents, this is NOT Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party or Oogie Boogie Bash.

Universal does not recommend HHN for children under 13. Know your kid; and know what you’re buying.

But this year I also traveled with a self-proclaimed scaredy cat.

Maegan bought Universal’s Deathly Afraid necklace, a light-up medallion that signals to scareactors that you’d prefer a less-intense interaction.

We actually got to see how it works!

When scareactors noticed it in the scare zones, they generally left her alone or interacted more gently in character instead of intentionally jump-scaring her.

🚨 BUT IMPORTANT: It doesn’t guarantee you won’t be scared, and it cannot be used inside the haunted houses.

Maegan still braved three houses. 👏

🍴 THE FOOD
Because select food was included with Premium Scream Night, the three of us would order one item and split it so we could try more things.

And I have three words:

BIRRIA. PIZZA. FRIES.

10/10. No notes.

I also got a milkshake.

I did not share the milkshake.

Friendship has limits.

🛍️ DO NOT SKIP THE HHN TRIBUTE STORE.

Universal transforms the Tribute Store seasonally, and the HHN 35 version is Sideshow Obscura, themed as a creepy traveling sideshow.

Even the checkout area was themed with an incredible carousel. This is one of those things Universal absolutely doesn’t HAVE to go this hard on…

and they do anyway.

⚡ POTTERHEADS: GO TO DIAGON ALLEY DURING HHN.

Premium Scream Night gave me something I’ve wanted forever:

Almost-empty Diagon Alley photos.

Then the Death Eaters showed up.
I got pulled into an interaction.
We were looking for Harry Potter.
Things escalated.

And somehow Maegan and I swore allegiance to Lord Voldemort.

Look.
I understand now how these things happen.
Peer pressure.

Alicia has grainy video evidence, and it is one of my favorite memories from the entire trip.

🎃 MY UNIVERSAL HHN TIPS:

☔ Bring a small umbrella or poncho. August in Orlando means rain can pop up anytime. We only had some sprinkles this night, but that umbrella was still a must.

📅 I personally love going early in the HHN season. The weather tends to be hotter and wetter, but I’ve had good experiences with crowds, plus I want firsthand information early enough to help my clients.

🏨 Stay at a Universal Orlando hotel and use Universal transportation. We stayed at Helios this trip, which I’ll review separately with Epic Universe. It wasn’t the most convenient location specifically for HHN, but I still strongly prefer staying on-site rather than dealing with rideshare pickup or parking after a long night.

🍴 Try the event food. Splitting items is a great strategy if you want to taste more.

🛍️ Walk through the Tribute Store even if you’re not shopping.

⚡ Visit Diagon Alley later in the evening. Especially if you’re a Potterhead.

😱 If you’re nervous about scare zones, look into the Deathly Afraid necklace, just understand what it does AND doesn’t do.

🎟️ Don’t automatically assume you need the most expensive HHN option. R.I.P. Tour, Express Pass and Premium Scream Night solve different problems. I’ve now personally done all three.

🧲 And apparently there are collectible HHN magnets.

We learned that afterward.
We have zero magnets.

Do as I say, not as I do.

One other interesting thing: there were a LOT of theme-park influencers and content creators at Premium Scream Night. If seeing that side of the theme-park world is fun for you, early-season events make for some very entertaining people-watching.

But my favorite part of this trip wasn’t actually a haunted house.

I almost didn’t go.

I was busy. I was focused on rebuilding my business. It was a very quick trip, and it would have been easier to stay home.

But I needed time with my friends more than I realized.

I needed to laugh, eat ridiculous Halloween food, scream at vampires and apparently pledge my eternal loyalty to Lord Voldemort. 😂❤️

Sometimes the trip you almost don’t take is exactly the trip you needed.

And THAT is also why I travel to these events myself.

If you’re thinking about Halloween Horror Nights Orlando, I don’t just know how to book it. I’ve actually experienced HHN with R.I.P., Express and Premium Scream Night, and I can help you figure out which experience makes the most sense for YOU.

🌫️ See you in the fog.

🎃 Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party: what I’d actually prioritize (and what I did this time!)

This was easily the least-planned part of my Orlando trip, which is funny considering I plan vacations for a living.

I’ve done Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party several times, and I honestly wasn’t planning to go this year. Then one of my best friends, Alicia, bought her ticket and said she was perfectly fine going alone.

Absolutely not. So I bought a ticket, Maegan was able to join us, and suddenly we had ourselves a girls’ night at Magic Kingdom. 🎃🏰

And because I’ve done MNSSHP before, I approached this night VERY differently than I would recommend for someone attending for the first time.

Here are my biggest Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party tips:

🎃 1. Do not treat party day like a regular Magic Kingdom day.

Your Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party ticket lets you enter Magic Kingdom beginning at 4 PM, even though the party officially begins later. Use that to your advantage.

We had all traveled that day, dropped our luggage at Disney’s All-Star Music Resort, changed into party clothes and met at Enchanted Rose at Disney’s Grand Floridian for a cocktail before heading over.

Translation: we rested.

MNSSHP involves a LOT of walking, standing, candy collecting, characters, entertainment and general Halloween hustling. If you have the flexibility, I would not spend all morning exhausting yourself before an event that runs late into the night.

And as a woman in her 40s experiencing Orlando in August, I will also enthusiastically endorse sitting in air conditioning whenever the opportunity presents itself.

🏴‍☠️ 2. Eat something savory BEFORE the Halloween sugar avalanche begins.

Our original plan was Steakhouse 71, but travel-day timing laughed at that idea. I managed to grab a 4 PM reservation at The Beak and Barrel, the Pirates of the Caribbean-themed tavern in Adventureland.

And the THEME in here is fantastic.

Disney designed the tavern as a space reclaimed by pirates from an old Spanish soldiers’ mess hall, complete with a skull-shaped bar made from pieces of a cursed shipwreck, mermaid windows, pirate artifacts and little details connected to Pirates of the Caribbean lore.

We shared the Island Provisions: plantain chips, blue corn tortillas and toasted flatbread with several dips, and the Cook’s Corn Griddle Cakes with chipotle-braised chicken, stuffed with cheese and topped with lime sour cream, peppers and Cotija.

Was the food the star of my evening? No. But stopping for actual savory food before the party absolutely was the right move.

My tip: get some protein, fat and something substantial in your body before MNSSHP. Once the party gets rolling, Magic Kingdom becomes approximately 73% adorable Halloween desserts.

👻 3. Decide your priorities BEFORE the party starts.

This is probably my biggest piece of advice.

There is no single “correct” Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party itinerary because people buy these tickets for completely different reasons.

Your priority might be:

• Rare Disney character meet-and-greets
• Trick-or-treating
• Halloween merchandise
• Mickey’s Boo-to-You Halloween Parade
• Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular
• Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular fireworks
• Attractions with Halloween overlays
• Low-wait rides
• Photos and Magic Shots

Pick your must-dos and protect those first.

I’ve already seen the party entertainment several times, and I hadn’t been to Magic Kingdom in almost a YEAR, practically unheard of for me. So this time? I wanted rides.

We did Pirates of the Caribbean, TRON Lightcycle / Run, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Space Mountain and some other Magic Kingdom classics. Maybe more?

And my one absolute non-negotiable?

👻 The Haunted Mansion.

Obviously.

I also stopped in Memento Mori, my favorite souvenir shop in all of Walt Disney World, while Alicia’s priority was checking out the Halloween merchandise. I happily supported this priority because merchandise stores have air conditioning.

🍬 4. If trick-or-treating IS your priority, bring an extra bag.

You can collect a frankly unhinged amount of candy at MNSSHP.

We only did a little trick-or-treating because I had challenged myself to travel with ONE carry-on and ONE personal item for this trip. I knew I had nowhere to put several pounds of Halloween candy.

I took my little green Twix, ate it in Magic Kingdom, and called it a win.

But if candy is part of the mission, especially with kids, bring something larger to transfer your haul into.

🎭 5. Your kids’ ages should change your entertainment strategy.

If you have younger children who aren’t going to make it until midnight, I would prioritize their must-do characters and entertainment EARLY. Don’t save the one character your child desperately wants to meet until they’re asleep in the stroller.

But if your family can hang late? There’s an advantage to doing characters, trick-or-treating and attractions earlier and saving some entertainment for later.

The later performances can have noticeably more breathing room after families begin heading out. That can mean better viewing space, easier photos and a less frantic ending to your night.

🌙 6. Leaving early can actually be strategic.

We had Epic Universe waiting for us the next day, and this was already a travel day, so we intentionally did NOT close down the party.

As the first fireworks were beginning, we headed toward the front of Magic Kingdom.

And then I spotted a PhotoPass photographer.

Me: WAIT. FIREWORKS. PICTURE. NOW.

That Cast Member understood the assignment and captured fireworks behind us while a huge portion of the park was watching from farther inside.

Then we walked straight out, beat the post-fireworks exodus and ended up on an almost-empty bus back to All-Star Music.

Sometimes the best Disney strategy is knowing when you’ve had enough.

🏨 BONUS TIP: Staying at a Disney Resort was VERY nice for this night.

Alicia booked Disney’s All-Star Music Resort, somewhere I hadn’t stayed since my kids were about 2, 4 and 6 years old. And we somehow ended up upgraded from a standard room to a Family Suite.

Three women.

Separate beds.

TWO BATHROOMS AND TWO SHOWERS.

I cannot overstate the luxury of that final detail after an August night in Florida. 🙌

And that was our Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.

Not a commando touring plan. Not every character. Not every show. Barely any candy.

But we ate, rode the attractions we love, browsed merchandise, took breaks when we needed them, got our Haunted Mansion fix and spent Halloween at Magic Kingdom together.

That’s really the secret to MNSSHP: you probably cannot do everything, so don’t try.

If this is your only Magic Kingdom visit, I wouldn’t spend your entire expensive party ticket riding attractions you could experience during a normal park day. The Halloween entertainment, rare characters, trick-or-treat trails and party-exclusive atmosphere are what you’re paying extra to experience.

But if you’re like us and you’ve done the party before?

Pick what makes YOU happy and build your night around that. 🎃🖤

🎃 I survived Halloween in Orlando… barely. 😂

Hi friends! I’m officially back from a VERY full Orlando Halloween trip:Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at Magic Kingdom, Halloween Horror Nights 35 + Premium Scream Night at Universal Orlando, and a day at Epic Universe.

And yes… I MET HAMIKUMA. 🐻🍬

If you don’t know this wonderfully unhinged bear yet, HamiKuma originated at Universal Studios Japan and has become a huge Halloween Horror Nights fan favorite. This year, he made his Universal Orlando Resort meet-and-greet debut at Halloween Horror Nights 35, so naturally I needed photographic evidence that this happened. 😂

I have SO much to tell you about this trip, but today is not that day because your travel advisor is currently running on fumes. 🤣

Over the next few days, I’ll be sharing separate, more in-depth posts with lots of pictures from both sides of my trip:

🎃 Disney World + Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party

👻 Universal Orlando + Halloween Horror Nights and Epic Universe

And if you’re one of my clients, I’ll be going even deeper in my client newsletter with my firsthand experiences, tips and takeaways. If I owe you a Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party guide, those are also on my weekend recovery/work list. ❤️

For now, please enjoy HamiKuma and me while I recover from approximately 47 billion steps and reconsider my decision to visit Orlando in August while perimenopausal. 🔥😂

Florida heat: 1. Frances: 0.
