2021 is in full swing now and don't know if I should dare to say it, but things are looking up in the world of family vacations and trips to theme parks! Today's exciting news comes from multiple locations of LEGOLAND Theme Parks. There is a new announcement for the top and bottom of the East Coast. Let's go!

It's being called the World's Most Magical Celebration! Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida turns 50 in 2021 and they just made a major announcement about their birthday plans. The 18th month long (that's right! 18 months) will kick off October 1st!

Exciting news coming out of Langhorne, PA! Sesame Place has released their calendar of events for 2021 and for the first time EVER the park plans to be open every month of the year in 2021! This winter Sesame Place will host special, themed character dines and will debut an all-new drive-thru experience! I've rounded up all the exciting details!

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Theme park experiences might be a bit different in 2020, but lots of our favorite places to visit are still making sure guests have a holly, jolly time - with some parks even adding NEW experiences for 2020! I'm sharing how Disney World, Busch Gardens, Dollywood, Hersheypark, Sesame Place and Six Flags are celebrating this holiday season.

Did you know there is a place that has a replica of Noah's Ark built to the specifications laid out in the Bible? The town is Williamstown, Kentucky and the structure is massive! Inside the Ark there are three decks, outside there's a giant playground, places to eat and a zoo. There's no better time to visit the Ark Encounter because in 2020, kids 10 and under are FREE. 

Fall is officially here and many places are gearing up to provide as much fall fun as they can! One place in particular, Blooms and Berries, located in Loveland, Ohio! Their Fall on the Farm event is an Ohio tradition for over 20 years! This year they've added extra protocols (and lots of hand sanitizer pumps) to help make guests feel safe while having some FUN on their farm. Find out what activities are being offered at Blooms and Berries' Fall on the Farm and learn how to purchase tickets for this can't miss event.

Good news for Ohioans! The 21 year tradition of Blooms & Berries will continue this year with a focus on a "Season of Safety".  Fall on the Farm opens September 19th and runs through November 1, 2020. Owner and farmer, Jeff Probst guarantees a fun and safe environment and experience and he says, "Make plans to preserve the tradition". Read on to learn more about the 2020 installation of Fall on the Farm, the new safety measures being put in place and how to purchase tickets. 

There are so many changes in our world as we knew it but places we've known and love are trying their hardest to be there for us. Theme parks have (for the most part) opened up for the summer season, and are doing their best to offer families a sense of normalcy in this "new normal". Recently, my family and I visited Sesame Place in Langhorne, PA and while there were certainly differences in our experience, our favorite furry monsters were there for us none the less! See what precautions were taken, what changes were made and most importantly, if I felt safe during our visit to Sesame Place.
