Universal Studios: New Simpson's Attraction

The Most Miserly Mom was disappointed when Universal Studios removed the "Back to the Future" attraction - it was an oldie but a goodie.

But I am pleased to report that "The Simpson's Attraction" will be arriving at Universal Studios by next Spring. Your family can not only enjoy a super simulator ride which is sure to entertain, you can also roam Universal's avenues with the Simpson's characters themselves!

This attraction is sure to please - The Most Miserly Mom is excited!

Disney World & Orlando Hotel Special Rates!

The Most Miserly Mom knows how confusing it can be choosing a hotel for your Disney World vacation. You may ask yourself if you should stay right on property at Disney World? Or should you stay on International Drive in the midst of all the touristy stuff Orlando has to offer?

The key to the answer is money. If you stay on property at a Disney Resort you do pay much more than staying off property on International Drive or in Kissimmee. Sometimes Disney has rates as low as $59 - and I do tell you how to get those rates in my book, but normally the rates are higher than that - over $100 per night.

It is true that if you stay at a Disney Resort you may think you don't need a car. Well, you don't if all you want to see is Disney and all you want to eat is Disney food at Disney prices.

Think about it long and hard before you decide. Staying at a Disney Resort can be wonderful, but if you want to visit Orlando, Universal Studios, Sea World, and all the other fun stuff Orlando has to offer do not stay at a Disney Resort. Save yourself the cash and stay on I-Drive or in Kissimmee where you can get hotels as low as $30 a night!

Sea World Orlando New Attractions

The Most Miserly Mom always enjoys the family ambiance of Sea World Orlando. The foliage, the marine life, and the interactive shows offer fun for kids of all ages.

I am happy to announce that Sea World is opening even more kid-friendly attractions! Besides the new Elmo and the Bookaneers show opening last week, featuring the furry little red creature and other Sesame Street characters, SeaWorld is adding three new children's rides, including a sea life-themed carousel. It's also bringing on Shamu Rocks, a new rock 'n' roll version of the killer-whale show geared more toward teens.

With these additional rides the Happy Harbour area at Sea World is more than Doubled!

See you at Sea World!

Universal Studios Travel Tip

The Most Miserly Mom loves Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure - not only for the awesome ticket prices (see previous blogs or purchase my book for info) - but for the fabulous rides and experiences.

Most recently I challenged myself to the "Dueling Dragons" roller coaster with drops and twists and turns and speed that brought me back to my youth (no kidding!)

But The Most Miserly Mom wants you to know that at Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure, you cannot have any bags or purses of any kind when you experience their coasters and thrill rides. Universal provides lockers, and you must put your things in a locker before you are allowed to enter the line for the attraction.

So, Miserly Tip of the Day: Either be prepared in advance for lockers - or just have a fanny pack so you needn't use a locker and waste time!

Disney's Animal Kingdom & Expedition Everest

The Most Miserly Mom read today that attendance at Disney's Animal Kingdom rose over 8% this past year.

The reason attendance was up - was due in part to the fabulous attraction "Expedition Everest."

This attraction one the best attraction of the year award this past year as well, and The Most Miserly Mom definitely recommends it to you when you visit Animal Kingdom.

Disney's roller coasters, for those of you who don't know, aren't incredibly wild and risky - no big loops and huge drops. Instead, Disney provides a coaster that thrills you and entertains you at the same time. And Expedition Everest does just that.

You will actually encounter the abominable snowman on this coaster!
