Hi, I'm Tracy! I spend as much time as possible traveling and can frequently (2-3 times a year) be found in Orlando either at Disney World or Universal. I consider myself a wand wielding Disney princess! I love to explore, create and experience new things in the savviest way possible. I love to share my passions with others, so stick around and enjoy!
Yes, well, im not sure. Ive been there because i live near it but i remember as a kid me and my brothers had gotten a cookie from the bakery that was next to it and we went in the elevator and it moved by itself. The bellboy ghost is very nice
Disposable ponchos are very practical but unfortunately not very eco friendly. I avoid single use plastics as much as I can. Our family brings reusable ponchos and travel size umbrelas to protect from rain in the parks.
Best burger is Savannah is Green Truck. I literally lol’ed when she said B&D. Kevin Barry’s is closed. River Street Sweets is the better of the 2 she names. Best seafood restaurant on tybee is Bubba Gumbo’s or Sundae Cafe. Things she got right: Pink house, Lulu’s, and Hucapoo’s.
When I was there a few years ago the sea food was amazing I forgot the name of the restaurant but it was on the Riverwalk, can't wait to go back to Savannah, Savannah is definitely the most beautiful city in America
Hi Tracy! Finding this video before my very first Disney World trip back in July was my saving grace… I do have a question about one of the statements you made in this video about Tieks… can you explain more on why you said Tieks are okay if you’re in Disneyland but not in Disney World? I eventually would like to visit Disneyland in the future someday as well. Keep up the great work! 😊
Yes, of course! What I meant by that is that in Florida the combination of extreme heat, heavy humidity and frequent rain can make wearing Tieks uncomfortable. I’ve visited LA during the summer several times now and even in July it can be very comfortable weather, even cool in the evenings. It also doesn’t rain as often and the heat is more dry. So, I believe you may be able to get away with wearing Tieks there. But, if it were me, I’d probably still stick to a supportive sandal or tennis shoe regardless of which park I’m visiting. I think Tieks would be fine for a half day or evening visit though.
Can you also apply the tips and tricks in this video for visiting Universal Studios in Florida as well? I’ve been to Disney World 3 times now but this will be my first time going to Universal in December.
Thank you for talking about the Jean shorts, and tennis shoes 👟. I can't wore jeans to Disneyland on a hot day. I also can't do tennis shoes because I cannot wear socks. It is hot. Thanks for keeping 💯
They primarily drive you around the lot on a large golf cart/tram, but you do hop off in certain locations to look around. But, overall, very little walking.
Hello Tracy or Tracie? I watched your video, " The 9 best places to eat in Savannah, Georgia! " and found it very informative. I have been in Savannah several times. I have a friend there and it is a 2 hour drive for me being that I live in Jacksonville. I was very pleased to find out that you did not mention "Lady and Sons". So many people gravitate there because of popularities from the media. Well, I'll say it........."Don't go there, the only thing that is somewhat good is the fried chicken and the ice water and the salads are ok." I was always wanting to know where to enjoy good seafood on the river. So many places to choose from, hard to make a decision . I will try River House Seafood. Totally agree with The Old Pink House being in your video. I have been there 5 times and they are flawless in all departments . A lot of people aren't aware of this place, nice of you to point it out. The cellar is where I want to be when going there. There is a secret way to get in there for dinner. As you face the front of the house, there is a street corner immediately to the left. Be there at 4:45 pm and someone will come out the front door with a clipboard to take names for seating. It is good to be there 4:15 pm, that way you have somewhat of a choice to where you would like to be seated. I will be trying B & D burgers, love a well put together burger. I have been to Co Co's in Tybee. Totally agree......hard to find but once you do find it, you will be back. AJ's is widely spoken of but went there and was very disappointed to find out that cook from frozen. Have not been to Lulu's chocolate bar but will try. I was surprised you didn't mention Corleone's Italian Restaurant. It is next door to Lulu"s, great place.
Thank you so much and for the tips! We’ll have to try Corleone’s next time we’re in town! I later regretted not adding in more categories, but these were our top favorites when we lived there. There is so much amazing food in Savannah to choose from!
I’m going to Disney with my service dog and I’m really worried about the heat in August. You may not have a service dog but do you have any tips for that!
Definitely sign up for their Disability Access Service (DAS) which I believe you just have to have a doctors note for. You’ll need to pre register for DAS within 2-30 days prior to arrival. You can go online and search Disney DAS and you’ll find all the info you need. This will allow you to skip the lines and prevent you both from having to overheat. They won’t allow you of course to take your dog on most rides. I specifically remember someone trying to take an emotional support animal with them on the animal safari and the party had to split up so that half could remain with the dog and take turns riding. I would be similar to their child swap system where you take turns staying with your child or pet. If your dog is a guide dog, they may have different rules. If that’s the case, you may just need to use sighted guide while embarking and disembarking some of the rides. Best of luck on your future trip! And, have fun! 😀
@@savvyjourney hi! So yes I have heard of DAS before. The only problem with that is that peanut is a Psychiatric service dog and I could wait in the lines. I don’t think they will give me one if I don’t have a medical reason to not stand in line. Also I have heard and know a few people who have gone on rides with their service animals. Also this is besides the point but ESA do not have public access so that got me a bit confused when you said that. Anyway, thank you so much for taking the time to comment and give me tips!
@@Peanuttheservicedog I have limited experience myself with DAS, so I definitely recommend speaking with a cast member about it in more detail before your trip. I may be remembering wrong about the family with the ESA, it may have been a different type of service animal. I just remember the cast members on the animal safari at Animal Kingdom telling them the dog could not ride and that they’d have to take turns. The Animal Safari may be an exception though since there are live wild animals on the ride. Best of luck on your trip! I hope it magical no matter the weather. Maybe consider splurging for the Genie+ lightening lanes if you can’t skip the lines with DAS.
Great video of my hometown! So glad you enjoyed your stay! I love old cemeteries too. My bf's family has owned the monument (headstone) company here for over 80 years. Oldest business in town. I've been to all the cemeteries around here. 💙
Thanks! We’ve now been back to the Blue Ridge area several times and are even considering retiring there one day because we love the North Georgia mountains so much! And, I love old cemeteries too! I grew up playing hide and seek in an old cemetery and whenever I go on vacation somewhere I like to visit them. I love the beauty and history.
@@savvyjourney I'm a realtor here and most of the homes I've ever sold have been to retirees moving here. Check out Tilly Bend Cemetery when you come back, if you haven't. Interesting history and it's near Shallowford Bridge on Aska Rd. Upper Toccoa River/head of Blue Ridge Lake area.
I understand completely! I recommend exploring your home state. You’d be surprised sometimes what cool things are in your vicinity that you never realized before! That’s what we started to do Summer of 2020, when we couldn’t really travel yet. We started exploring outdoor areas in Georgia. There are so many trails, waterfalls, historic towns, etc. It’s a less expensive and safe way to begin traveling again and feeds that need to get out there and see things. I wish you the best of luck on your future adventures! We are just now about to fly again to LA for the first time in 3 years!
I'm also crazy for Mrs. Wilkes' Boarding House food. I met Mrs. Wilkes' there in my 20's, and I believe her grandson still runs it with the same incredible food! Obama ate there too.
Not exactly, regardless of how you approach it, to get closer, you’ll have to hike a bit. There is a 6 mile hike you can take from the Griffith Observatory area, but I’ve heard it’s easy to get lost on these trails. I’ve also read about a secret drive you can take through residential neighborhoods to approach the sign from above and then hike down to it. Not super easy no matter what. There are a few blogs that outline how to drive to this location. I’d just Google “how to get close to the Hollywood Sign by car” and you should find some. Happy hiking!
Ooh, that’s a a great question! If you want it to be a bit more private, I would do it on the east end of the river walk in Morrel Park next to the Waving Girl statue. If you’d like an audience, you could do it right in the center perhaps in front of the River Boat when it’s docked. If your there this summer, you could check the fireworks schedule, they had fireworks every Friday night when we lived there, and propose during the fireworks display.
I hope I will get to go to Disney World at some point because I haven’t got to ever go there yet but I still have a long way to go cause I’m a young child
ALL the things!!!! ALL the things!!! I can’t wear crocks but I do wear the yoga sandals. Bike shorts under dresses! Hair up ⬆️ messy bun or hat. Sunglasses! Sunscreen. I only wear lip “stick”, moisturizer with spf and waterproof mascara to the park. Minnie ears! Backpack. 👍👍good video Thank you!!!
I’ve only ever been at dinner, nice ambience by candlelight. Definitely adds to the spookier haunted feel. But, as it’s in doors, I’m sure you’d still get the same feel during the day.
I loved Savannah with all its rich history, great shops, and restaurants,, However Moon River was not a favorite . Our burgers were burnt to a crisp and the Mac n cheese was dried out. Too many other great restaurants to choose from there.
I know you'll burn me at the stake, but I actually really don't like Leopolds. I thought it was highly overrated. Especially, for the long line you have to stand in to get it in the first place. But, again, these are our favorites from when we lived in Savannah in 2014. But, I appreciate your feedback and suggestions! Everyone's tastes are different.
Of course we all have our personal favorites. But your picks are concentrated in the tourist areas of Savannah and miss what many would consider much better options. Here are my favorites (in alphabetical order): Alligator Soul, Chive, Collins Quarter, Local 11Ten, North Beach Bar & Grill (Tybee Island), The Vault, The Wyld, Zunzie's
We are going in May of this year and I’m a bigger girl and I’m trying to figure out my bra situation! 😫 Do you recommend sports bras? Or full support? I usually wear underwire minimizers but I know I’ll chafe
I've never had an issue with my bras before at Disney. But, I know you can put Gold Bond really anywhere that your worried will chafe. I usually stick to a tshirt bra with underwire. I prefer the tshirt bras from Torrid. But, I know some prefer sports bra. It really depends on the person and their comfort level.
