WanderLyn Get Your 10K in .... Orlando Part 7 New Years Day at Universal Studios & Islands of Adventure

 New Year’s Day at Universal? Yes, please.

After stacking up those park miles all week, we kicked off January 1 with a slightly later start — 10 AM gate entry — ready for a day that leaned less on coaster chaos and more on immersive shows, more magic, and experiences people often walk right past.

Because sometimes the real magic isn’t the longest line in the park — it’s the thing hiding in plain sight. Like Voodoo Donuts - we walked by so many days, and today was the day. AMAZING - they have such a wonderful variety and good coffee to boot. We started the day on a fabulous sugar high.

WanderLyn: Get Your 10k Steps In… Orlando Part 6 Hollywood Studios New Years Eve

 Hey, Wanderers!

Today, I’m diving into one of the most electric days I’ve spent at Walt Disney World — New Year’s Eve at Hollywood Studios. If you think NYE at Disney is just fireworks and crowds, think again. It’s a full-on experience packed with heart-pumping rides, jaw-dropping shows, mouthwatering food, and the kind of energy that gets you dancing in the streets (or at least on Hollywood Blvd).

Ready to relive the day with me? Lace up  and let's jump in!

WanderLyn: Get Your 10K Steps In… Orlando Part 5 EPCOT — Eating & Drinking Around the World

Hello there, my wander friends 👋✨

You know those travel days where everything just clicks? The weather behaves, the rides cooperate, the snacks hit, and somehow you end the night with sore feet and a very happy heart? This was THAT day.

EPCOT gave us the full dream package — big thrills in the morning, slow scenic strolls in the afternoon, twinkling lights by evening, and a passport full of flavors from around the world. The mission was simple (and delicious): walk a lot, ride smart, and taste everything. And let me tell you… we understood the assignment. ✔️
