Free Holiday Activities

Happy Holidays to you all. I am big on this time of year, there is so much extra love in the air. I am having my God children visit me this year, totally over the moon about it. Hopefully I will be able to share some pictures on here of my adventures with them, if not check out @W3ndy1321 (Instagram) for updates. I know that this time of year can be a little rough on the pockets. But we still all want to have fun, save money and be in the spirit. Below are a few activities that are family friendly for the next couple of weeks.

I love myself a nice outside movie. Lake Eola is offering a couple of movies to enjoy for FREE. Get a warm sweater, some snacks, few thick blankets, a sweet date or your kids, and make it a cozy movie night. They do have food trucks around if you get hungry, or run out of snacks. I am a total budget Betty, so I will bring my own snacks usually. The movies all start at 7pm. My best advice is get there early guys, find free parking and good seats. First they are offering on December 16th, 2016 to watch "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" by Dr. Seuss. Following, they are offering on December 23rd, 2016 "A Christmas Story". Both of these movies are total classics, they are a great date night, solo night, or family night; I will let you guys choose, I say do both. 

Next is more for my theater lovers. The timeless play "The Nutcracker" will be showing in the Walk Disney Amphitheater at Lake Eola on December 17th, 2016 at 730pm. This is also a FREE event. Just like the movies though, make sure to get there with time. You do not want to be the person all the way in the back, that can't see anything. Remember to bring something to stay warm in.

First off I want to apologize to you guys for some delays on my entries on here. It has been finals week, and I graduate in the Spring. I have just been trying to find balance with everything around while still making school my number one priority. Now that school is over this Thursday, I hope to have a lot of material backed up to give you all the consistency back. I hope you all have an amazing holiday! Keep in contact if you need any help with getting around to these dope places. Appreciate you all supporting me in what I do, you all motivate me to keep striving when I read your kind words. Love you all to the moon and back. Remember to always Love and allow to be loved. Xoxo

Enzian Theater Awesomeness

Grab a bad ass thick blanket and some comfortable clothes, you got a lawn waiting for you to watch a movie. Why do your typical movie watching in a theater, when you can enjoy the beauty of a cool night with a good film?

The movie spot I visited during the week was small and hidden, perfect to enjoy. This place is called Enzian. I watched the 3rd Freddy Kruger movie which was extra exciting for me because I love classic horror movies. The movie started at 8 pm, but I do recommend to get there a little earlier for good parking. The parking is free, but they do also offer valet parking for $3. The movie itself is also free which is great for us on budgets who still want to get out of the house for fun outings. They offer food and drinks also, their prices are decent, but I honestly say just sneak in some snacks and keep them on the down low if you are on an extra budget (it is not allowed though, heads up.) They have things from dips, nachos, sandwiches,wraps, pizzas, beers, liquors and desserts too. Great variety for a movie theater in my opinion. 

Enzian also has an indoors theater where they have showings. Regular prices are set at $11 for general admission, and $9 for Seniors, students and military personal with proof of ID. They do offer lawn movies though at least once a week like the one I went to. Just have to look on their website for "Popcorn flicks" or Wednesday night Pitcher Show" to know the free shows on the lawn and their times.

Another thing that should be known about this movie place is that none of the movies that are shown are new. The movies shown are usually classics, independent films or from other countries. I enjoy to know that I can watch a classic film on a big screen while laid out on a blanket. The inside theater is also very cool, they have couches and tables to accommodate you. Very far from basic or regular. You can also contact the people here to rent out the theater for birthday parties or other events. 

I hope you all get to experience this awesome place and let me know what movie you enjoyed when you visited.
