Royal-tea 🫖

Scones, savory bites, a three-tiered tower of sweets, and a 10th-generation Twinings heir all made for a golden afternoon.

Cheers, subscribers. It’s Haley.

I think about certain Disney World experiences that went away due to the COVID-19 pandemic. One of them was a hidden gem at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, and recently, Disney invited me to experience the newly reopened Garden View Lounge – Tea Experience.

The experience calls for company. A couple of colleagues joined in on the tea party, and from the food to the conversation to the sweeping garden views, it’s difficult to find a more elegant offering at a resort already celebrated for its grandeur.

A surprise guest was also present for the event, Stephen Twining, 10th-generation member of the iconic Twinings Tea family.

He spoke with us about what makes a perfect cup and why the centuries-old brand continues to thrive.

Woo-oo! at the waterpark 🥽

Disney H2O Glow After Hours is returning to Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park this summer with a nostalgic lineup of classic Disney Afternoon characters taking center stage.

Scrooge McDuck, Launchpad McQuack, Chip ‘n’ Dale as the Rescue Rangers, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, and Powerline Max from “A Goofy Movie” will all be on hand.

I have noticed the ticket price has increased, but if you’re an Annual Passholder, you’ll want to take advantage of the savings.

SeaWorld Orlando

Good times and neon lights 🛟

There is no shortage of nighttime experiences at Central Florida water parks.

Aquatica Orlando’s popular nighttime event, AquaGlow, is back for a third year. Expect a neon-lit escape where guests can ride, slide, and splash under dazzling light.

Legoland Florida

A day at Legoland 👾

If you’ve never been to Legoland Florida or haven’t been in a while, now is a good time to go.

The resort might be catered to families with young kids, but there is a lot to explore, from Miniland USA, the LEGO gift shop, and the newly opened Galacticoaster.

The News 6 Insider team wrapped up a bunch of highlights in this guide.

International Drive

Game on! 🎊

Think you’ve got what it takes to win big?

Great Big Game Show on International Drive puts you in the hot seat— literally — with a live, 60-minute interactive game show experience featuring lights, sound effects, and fast-paced mini games.

The News 6 Insider team recently visited the group-driven attraction, which is one of Orlando’s most unique ways to compete, laugh, and maybe discover your inner game show champion.
