Tour Famous Television and Film Sites With the Southern Hollywood Film Tour!

I recieved a complimentary ticket through the travel campaign with New Creative Media.   All opinions expressed are 100% my own. Any additional expenses incurred were my own.  

A few days ago I told you about our stay in the Wyndham Peachtree Conference Center.  During our stay, we ventured out to local activities including the Southern Hollywood Film Tour.

The Southern Hollywood Film Tour is offered by The Peachtree City Convention and Visitors Bureau.  We were taken by van through the cities of Peachree City and Senoia.  Throughout our tour, we were taken around the city and shown scenes from popular movies such as Fried Green Tomatoes, Sweet Home Alabama, and Joyful Noise.  Several popular TV shows were also filmed in the area such as Drop Dead Diva and The Walking Dead.

Our guide, John, was very knowledgable about the area.  He happily answered any questions that we had and pointed out sights along the way.  First up, we visited The Fred, which is the local Peachtree City amphitheater.  It is used in their summer concert series and also in the Joyful Noise movie.

My favorite part of the tour was seeing the beautiful Starrs Mill, which was featured in Sweet Home Alabama.  It is absolutely gorgeous!  While we were out there, several photographers were as well, shooting photos.  There was a beautiful river that ran along behind it.

We also ventured around Senoia and saw one of the houses in Fried Green Tomatoes.  It’s such a pretty house in a peaceful area.

Next we were shown fences that were being put up for a new Walking Dead scene.  I admit, we have never seen the show, but it was kinda neat seeing stuff that other people were excited about.  The Walking Dead is being filmed by Raleigh Studios in Senoia.  After the tour, the driver dropped us off in Senoia so some of the tourists could visit The Official Walking Dead Store and so we could walk where Driving Miss Daisy was filmed.  We walked around town a bit and then decided to stop by to see what all the fuss was about.  We didn’t stay long, but took a few pictures to share with you guys.  Walking Dead Tour

In the Official Walking Dead Store, there was a couple jail cells that you could stand in for photos.  There was also a set of doors chained together that said “DONT OPEN DEAD INSIDE”.  Also displayed were several posters, writings on the walls from cast members, a motorcycle, and some full size cutouts of characters.  Sorry I can’t elaborate more, I am very unfamiliar with the show.

After we left that store, we decided to try out some of the local foods.  We visited Main Street Fudge & Ice Cream and tried their Deep Fried Oreos.  Yes you read that right!  Deep Fried Oreos!  YUM!  I definitely recommend stopping here if you go on the tour.

We were very thankful for this opportunity to see where some great actors have been and where movies were made.  If you’re ever in the area, be sure to check out the Southern Hollywood Film Tour.  I’m sure you’ll have as much fun as we did!

Busch Gardens: Fun For the Entire Family!

busch animals

We are part of the Busch Gardens Ambassador program for 2014 and we traveled down to Florida on Tuesday to check out Busch Gardens.  You guys know that I’m a huge Disney girl.  I haven’t been to Busch Gardens since I was a kid, so honestly cannot remember much of what they had to offer.  I have to say that it blew me away and we are eagerly awaiting our next trip!

For starters, they have a tram that will take you from your parking area to the front gate.  That was a huge help at the end of the day when we wanted to get back to our car and we were tired.

When we arrived at the park, we scanned our tickets, got in the gate, and then the bottom fell out of the sky.  I’m talking torrential downpour and lots of thunder and lightning.  We ducked into the nearest shop and waited the storm out.  As soon as we felt it was clear, we hopped to the next store and the next one.

Busch Gardens automatically shuts down all rides if there is lighting within 8 miles of the park.  It took a while for the rides to re-open, but there are a ton of things to do in the meantime.  We went to all the animal exhibits and watched Madagascar Live.  The Animal Care Center was also fun to check out and had an interactive game for the kids.  The employees were super kind and pulled out a coloring table to help pass the time as well.

busch garden animalsThere were up close and personal animal encounters and even feeding opportunities.  It was awesome feeding kangaroos!  We even got to see a little baby joey and his mama!

busch gardens rides

Once they reopened the rides, we enjoyed those. It was such a stormy day so many people didn’t go to the park.  We were able to walk right on pretty  much everything that we wanted to ride.  They did continue having to shut down the rides throughout the day, but it was never for long once the initial storm went through.

There was plenty for everyone to ride, even my littlest girls, age 3 and 5.  They had an entire section of rides for the toddler age in their Sesame Street area.  I was very impressed with their variety.  Even if you don’t like rides, there is plenty to do and see!  Not a roller coaster fan, plenty for you as well.

I had forgotten how incredible Busch Gardens is for the family.  It’s like having a zoo, amusement park, and water park all in one!  We are definitely going to be visiting this more often!  Can’t wait to go back!

Our Tubing Adventure in Helen, Georgia

Today was the day we decided to go tubing.  Actually, we were supposed to go this past Saturday, but, well, life happened.  Here we are about 6 hours post-tubing and I still feel like I’m floating down the river and bumping along rocks.

This was quite the adventure and really went much more smoothly than I had anticipated.  We got there just before 11 and headed right out.  We decided to take Cool River since that is where we always tubed growing up.

The hardest part was maneuvering through some areas that were really narrow with 2 tubes connected together.  I especially didn’t want to dump my 3 year old out in the water, although both little girls were wearing their Puddle Jumpers and the big kids had on life vests.  The water level was perfect and we never had to get out and walk.

I am a little sad I wasn’t able to take pictures during this adventure, but my husband brought his cell phone in a ziplock bag and took some.  His is a rinky dink old phone, whereas I have an iPhone, so I didn’t want that to be lost forever in the Chattahoochee.  It’s also worth noting that they take photos of you on your tubing adventure at Cool River.  I really loved the photos they took, but my husband said to pass on purchasing them.  We will still have those memories.

The only negative we had was when we got back to our cars. Cool River has a stand with ice cream.  Since we were having such a fun day, I decided to let the kids indulge in a sweet treat.  I had a couple questions about ingredients (kid with an allergy) and was met with a really rude employee.  She refused to be helpful and acted like I was crazy for even asking her a simple question about the product.   I asked if she could look on the packaging and tell me what ingredients were in it  and she flat out refused.  She never even stepped away from the counter or even bothered to check.  Just told me no.  As I told the kids we would just go to Wendy’s and get frostys instead, her and another employee were mocking me and making a big joke out of it.  I promise you I was not being rude, I was simply inquiring about an ingredient list for the ice cream, which they should have either had or been able to get.  Or heck, they could have even offered to ask a manager or find someone else to help me.  We gave Wendy’s our business instead since it wasn’t worth dealing with them.

Other than that, every encounter was great!

Screen Shot 2014-07-02 at 8.11.58 PM

There is a couple things that I learned on this trip.

*When taking a bunch of small children, definitely take an extra adult!  We took my husband’s brother with us and he helped out a ton!  I was tethered to our 3 year old and my husband was tethered to the almost 5 year old and we had our other 2 older kids just floating along.  They would periodically get stuck and he was able to help them and let us focus on our littles.

*Don’t underestimate the power of a good stick!  This tubing company had sticks you could rent or purchase to help you along the way.  Next time, we will bring a stick from home.  They would have been of great use navigating our journey.

*Be helpful!  There was an older couple that kept getting stuck.  I found out by talking to them that tubing down the Chattahoochee was on their bucket list but it ended up being harder than they anticipated.  Several times we were able to help free them from rocks. In turn, several other people helped us as well.  You never know when a giant rock will stop your tube!

*Don’t wait so stinkin’ long before going tubing again!  Seriously, my kids had never been and I hadn’t been in like 15 years!  The kids had a blast and we did too!

Where is your favorite place to go tubing?

After our hike up the mountain, we went back to the campground, where the pool was waiting for us!  Just for the record, coming down is MUCH easier than going up 🙂  The pool was nice and refreshing.

Screen Shot 2014-06-09 at 4.53.15 PM

After the pool, we visited the campground playground to play and dry off and then walked to the campground store where we snagged some ice creams to replenish our energy.  The campground store was very well stocked on things that you may have forgotten to bring with you.

Screen Shot 2014-06-09 at 4.55.33 PM They also have an option to purchase things like a refillable drink mug or slushees!

Screen Shot 2014-06-09 at 4.55.09 PM

Then it was off to the fun activities!  Stone Mountain Park has lots of adventure pass options and some even include meals.  You can visit their website for more information on what is available.

IMG_2413

If you purchase an Adventure Pass, you can add a Ride the Duck ticket for just $9.  We had never done this attraction before the trip, and it was a hit!  Our guide was hilarious and kept us laughing.  Even more awesome, he let the kids drive the Duck while it was in the water!  I think it was the highlight of our kids’ day!  We are very glad we finally tried it!

After the ducks, we went back to the campground where we made quesadillas on the grill and relaxed at our campsite.  We started packing up to go to the Lasershow Spectacular when a storm hit!  Boo!  What’s really neat is that at the campground, a horn will sound when lightning is nearby!  We were able to hear that and opt to stay at our campsite instead of being caught in the downpour!  When the storm passes, the horn does a quick 3 sounds to let you know it’s over.  It is NOT a tornado alarm, but merely a lightning alert.  I thought this was a great thing to have!

We were a little disappointed to not be able to see the Lasershow Spectacular a second time, but we made the best of it! We brought out our cards and played with them in the camper!

Screen Shot 2014-06-09 at 4.50.13 PM

The next morning was time to leave.  Boo!  We had a great time and will definitely be back, only to take a much longer trip!  2 nights was far too short to see and do everything!  Can’t wait to go again and have more adventures!

Thanks again to our friends at Stone Mountain Park for assisting us in this adventure!

As I told you the other day, my family took a little camping trip to Stone Mountain Park in Stone Mountain, Georgia.  It was a great little adventure and we will definitely be visiting again soon.  I’m breaking this up in a couple different posts since there is so much to tell!

 

Screen Shot 2014-06-06 at 9.21.14 PM

We got there on Wednesday evening and set up camp at the Stone Mountain Park Campground.  The sites are somewhat uneven, but there is a cart near the office with boards that you can use to help level your camper.  We were very grateful for that!  Each site is equipped with a grill and a picnic table.  Ours even had a little fire ring, which was perfect for s’mores.

Screen Shot 2014-06-06 at 9.28.49 PM

Wednesday evening we relaxed, cooked hot dogs, and then made our way to the Lasershow Spectacular.  Something I didn’t know about the campground is that they have a shuttle to take you right to the activities!  You don’t have to move your car unless you want!  The shuttle runs every 30 minutes and up to 30 minutes after the Lasershow Spectacular.  

Screen Shot 2014-06-06 at 9.27.52 PM

 

At the Lasershow Spectacular, we did the Snack Terrace option.  You can easily do the free option as well, but if you’d like a seat and some snacks, the Snack Terrace is a great option.  You get a great viewing location and chairs to sit.

Lasershow Snack Terrace seating includes:

  • Lasershow Terrace Seat
  • Unlimited popcorn that can be enjoyed until the start of the show
  • One Coca-Cola® beverage

Did I mention the unlimited popcorn?  That was my youngest kid’s favorite part!

Screen Shot 2014-06-06 at 9.27.04 PM

 

Thursday morning we decided to do something that we had never done since having kids.  We decided to actually CLIMB Stone Mountain!

Screen Shot 2014-06-06 at 9.31.02 PM

We were a little hesitant not knowing how the kids would do, but they completely surprised us!  They did great!  I was the one dragging!  In my defense, I was also carrying the backpacks with 6 bottles of waters, snacks, and first aid kit, just in case.  Other than our youngest needing carrying the last slope of the hike, everyone did great!  Coming down was much easier 🙂

Screen Shot 2014-06-06 at 9.33.56 PM

 

We got to the top around 10:15 am and went to the building to get cooled down a bit.  It was locked.  Bummer.  We decided to stand and check out the view and before we knew it, guess what we got to see come up the hill!  The local Police Department driving on the mountain!  It was a really windy morning so they said they weren’t able to run the sky ride to get the workers up to the top.  When it’s too windy, they drive the workers up!  The kids thought that was super neat (and my hubby did, too!)

Screen Shot 2014-06-06 at 9.41.30 PM

 

Stay tuned for more from our trip in the next day or so!

Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort Campground Tips

The Best Tips for Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort

Last week we spent an entire week at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort.  We learned a lot during our week stay, especially since this was our first time camping after purchasing a popup.  Here are some fun tips and ideas that we learned to make our stay exciting and without spending a ton of extra money.

First, a little about Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort Campground.  There are four different categories at the Campsites of Fort Wilderness:  tent or pop-up campsites, full hookup campsites, preferred campsites, and premium campsites.  The tent or pop-up campsites are only for tents or pop-up vans and include water and electricity.  Price for these varies between $55 and $118 per night.  The full hookup campsites include a level paved pad campsite (for a camper, RV, motor home, etc.) and electricity, water, and sewer.  Price for these varies between $74 and $139 per night.  The preferred campsites include a level paved pad campsite and electricity, water, sewer, cable, and high speed internet.  Price for these varies between $84 and $149 per night.  The premium campsites include a level paved pad campsite in a premium location (closer to recreation, bus stops, etc.) and electricity, water, sewer, cable, and high speed internet.  Price for these varies between $91 and $154 per night.  All campsites sleep a maximum of 10 people and include a charcoal bbq grill and picnic table and nearby comfort station with laundry facilities, private showers, ice machines, restrooms, and pay phones.

Fort Wilderness Popup

Things to bring:

  • Towels: Towels are not provided at the Fort Wilderness pools so you’ll need to bring your own for the bathhouse and pool.
  • Clothesline: The laundry room cost $2 per load to wash and $2 per load to dry.  We cut down on having to use this by hanging our towels on the clothesline after pool or shower.  If you are planning to wash clothes, don’t forget your detergent!  The vending machine has some, but they also come with a price.
  • S’mores Fixings and Roasters: If you buy them at Disney, you’ll end up paying a fortune.  Every night there is a Chip and Dale sing-a-long and marshmallow roast that you’ll want to join.  It’s free, except for whatever food you buy, hence bringing your own.
  • Flashlight or Glowsticks: After dark, it gets REALLY dark at Fort Wilderness.  You’ll need a flashlight or glowsticks to keep your group together after those late night park visits.
  • Charcoal and Lighter: If you plan on using the grill on the site, you’ll need charcoal and a lighter.
  • Trashbags: Most sites have a trashcan very close by, but it was a touch annoying going to it for every piece of trash.
  • Folding Chairs: There is a picnic table on each site, but if you want something else to sit in, bring your folding chairs.  These also come in handy at the sing-a-long.  On busy nights, the seats will fill up quickly.
  • Extension Cord and long sewage hose: We found that our regular size sewage hose wasn’t long enough and ended up having to go to Walmart for another.  The power box sometimes is far away from the sewage area, so make sure you bring long enough ones of both of these.
  • Broom: The sites are mainly concrete, with the exception of the popup/tent sites, but all seem to have an area of sand.  Of course our kids liked to play in the sand and tracked a ton into the popup.  This was something we ended up buying while at Walmart for the item above.

Things to Do:

Fort Wilderness Pool

 

Swimming: Fort Wilderness has a nice size pool, water slide, a kiddie pool, hot tub, and a toddler slide area.  There was something for everyone in our family of 6 to do!  The pools are heated, so if it’s not a super warm day, the pools still will be warm.  Various times during the day, they offer crafts and games by the pool.  You can check the schedules when you arrive.

The water slide was great.  Everyone from my 3 year old to myself rode it and had fun.  It has a red light/green light at the top to show when it is safe for the next rider.  For the pool, you’ll want to remember to bring your sunscreen and towels.  There is a nice bathhouse by the pool where you can shower or change.  There is also a snack bar, picnic tables, and even an “outpost” store.

Fort Wilderness Chip and Dale

 

Chip and Dale Sing-a-Long:  As I mentioned above, you’ll definitely want to bring your own fixings for S’mores.  This was one of our kids favorite things.  They start off with marshmallow roasting and then a cowboy leads everyone in songs.  Funny story, my 4 year old asked us if it was time to “marsh” the “mallows”.  LOL.  So I think forever we will be referring to roasting as “marshing”.  During the sing-a-long, they encourage everyone to dance and sing a long, but not to run up to Chip and Dale.  During the songs, they wander through for photo opportunities and autographs.

After the Sing-a-Long, they offer an outdoor movie.  This varies every night.

Rentals: You can rent bikes, golf carts, canoes, fishing, or tennis equipment.  We opted to not rent a golf cart, although many many people had them.  The carts ran around $59 per day plus tax and I just didn’t feel we’d use it that much plus walking is great exercise.  There were times that we had to wait a bit for a bus, but I don’t feel like we missed out on anything great by not having a cart.  I just couldn’t justify that extra expense when the buses and our feet/strollers worked just fine.

Random Tips:

  • Get to know the bus loops.  In Fort Wilderness, there are 3 loops – orange, yellow, and purple.  In order to get to the Magic Kingdom, you must ride the bus to the back to the Settlement Depot and from there walk to the Marina and get the boat.  To get to the other parks, you’ll ride the bus to the front toward the Outpost Depot and catch the park bus.  Make sure you get on the right way or you’ll find yourself on an extra long bus ride.
  • Take time to visit the Trading Posts.  They are actually fun to look around, have checker games to play, and often do pin trading.
  • Schedule time during your trip to stay in the campground.  There are so many free things to do there.  My kids love playing on their playgrounds and just exploring the grounds and pools.
  • Pony rides are available for $5 during the day.  It’s a fun thing to do, however there are maximum heights and my 7 year old and 10 year old were too tall.  The 3 and 4 year olds loved it.
  • In the evenings, you can take a carriage ride or hay ride around the campground.  It’s fun, but costs.  $45 per carriage ride (holds probably 4-8 people/children), $5 per child on hay ride and $8 per adult.
  • At 9:45pm, be at the marina and find a seat in the sand to watch the electric water parade.  This is short but cute.  It’s probably one of my favorite things and I love the music.  Afterward, you can remain on the beach and watch the fireworks from the Magic Kingdom.

This was definitely my favorite place to stay out of all the ones that we had stayed.  We will be back!

Roughing It At Disney’s Fort Wilderness

Disney's Fort Wilderness

This is a guest post by my friend Alexia.  Alexia is a Disney Vacation Specialist with Destinations in Florida.  When she is not helping plan magical vacations, you can find her on Facebook and Twitter.  Click here to contact her and she’ll help you find the best rates for your magical vacation!

In honor of Erin’s 30th birthday trip to Disney World, I wanted to discuss one option to staying onsite at Walt Disney World that many people do not realize is available:  the Campsites of Fort Wilderness.  Perfect for families who love camping, or are planning a road trip in a camper, RV, or motor home, the Campsites of Fort Wilderness also have recreation to please everyone in your family.

There are four different categories at the Campsites of Fort Wilderness:  tent or pop-up campsites, full hookup campsites, preferred campsites, and premium campsites.  The tent or pop-up campsites are only for tents or pop-up vans and include water and electricity.  Price for these varies between $55 and $118 per night.  The full hookup campsites include a level paved pad campsite (for a camper, RV, motor home, etc.) and electricity, water, and sewer.  Price for these varies between $74 and $139 per night.  The preferred campsites include a level paved pad campsite and electricity, water, sewer, cable, and high speed internet.  Price for these varies between $84 and $149 per night.  The premium campsites include a level paved pad campsite in a premium location (closer to recreation, bus stops, etc.) and electricity, water, sewer, cable, and high speed internet.  Price for these varies between $91 and $154 per night.  All campsites sleep a maximum of 10 people and include a charcoal bbq grill and picnic table and nearby comfort station with laundry facilities, private showers, ice machines, restrooms, and pay phones.

The Campsites of Fort Wilderness also offers more recreational activities than any other resort on the Disney property.  In additional to the usual playgrounds, arcades, pool, and movies under the stars, Fort Wilderness also offers motorized boat, canoe, and kayak rentals.  Fishing, horseback riding, wagon rides, waterskiing and archery are also available.  My favorite activity is Chip ‘N Dale’s Campfire Sing-A-Long.  Every evening around sundown, guests can join Chip ‘N Dale for campfire songs, photos, and autographs.  Guests can bring their own marshmallows and hot dogs to roast, or purchase s’mores kits from the Chuckwagon Snack Bar.  Afterwards, guests can enjoy a movie under the stars.

The value seasons for 2014 for the campgrounds would be Jan through February 12th, August 3rd through August 28th, or September 1st though October 5th.  Of course Sunday through Thursday rates are also less expensive than Friday and Saturday rates.

There are a few downsides to the campsites.  They are always excluded from any Disney discounts and book up extremely quickly.  If the weather is bad, it might put a damper on your vacation as well.  (Note:  If the weather is extreme such as flash flooding and/or hurricanes, Disney will evacuate the Campsites at Fort Wilderness and move all guests indoors.)   However, you still get all the perks for staying on the Disney property such as free transportation to and from the parks, extra magic hours, and free package deliveries from the parks to your resort.

Have you ever stayed at the Campsites of Fort Wilderness?  Don’t forget to wish Erin a happy birthday as well!

Stone Mountain Geyser Towers Review

April 12, 2012 By MommyOctopus Leave a Comment
By clicking my links, I may earn a small commission to support this blog. Please see our Disclosure Policy.

Last week, we visited Stone Mountain Park’s new Geyser Towers attraction.  It was a blast!  The kids enjoyed climbing through the ropes and nets and then every now and again the geyser would go off, soaking everyone in the geyser zone.

The first water-infused climbing attraction of its kind opened during Spring FUN Break at Stone Mountain Park. The more than two-story tall climbing attraction is all about getting families out of the house, moving and if they choose, getting soaked.  With a mixture of geysers, mister and sprayers, kids climb through multiple levels of suspended rope bridges and net tunnels and can either play in the spray or stay high and dry

My 2 year old is tall for her age and she was able to climb up in the top as well with my husband.  They had a little area on the bottom for some of the littlest kids to play.  It was a huge hit with our family and we can’t wait to go back.
