'Sup? Tad here. You know, before I turned 11, I dreamed that an owl would deliver my acceptance letter to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry on my birthday. I enjoyed imagining which of the four houses the wise old Sorting Hat would sort me into. (I identify as a...

‘Sup! Tad the Ravenclaw here, and I’m about to put my Hogwarts house trait of wisdom to the ultimate test. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando Resort is incredibly detailed, and it seems like every time I go, I find something that I had overlooked before. If...

Universal Orlando Resort may be a prime family vacation destination, but that doesn't mean it isn't a perfect romantic getaway for frogs and their significant others. Whether you want to spend a quiet evening away from the tadpoles during your trip or just want to visit as a party of...
