Our Disney World “Minnie-Moon” Day 2: Animal Kingdom
Animal Kingdom has always felt to us like the most unique park of the four non-water Disney World parks; it’s the perfect amalgamation of a National Geographic magazine come to life, an African safari, and a classic Disney theme park all in one.

STRANGER THINGS SEASON 4 REVIEW
This was hands down the best season of Stranger Things to date. Every episode felt like a cinematic event, which is apropos given the finale spanned over 2 hours and twenty minutes.
