  • EP 9 - Fall Creek Falls Adventure, Because Sometimes Adventure Happens Outside of the Theme Park

    EP 9 - Fall Creek Falls Adventure, Because Sometimes Adventure Happens Outside of the Theme Park
    Aug 28 2025
    So we ditched the theme parks for a bit and headed down to Tennessee for a family reunion at Fall Creek Falls State Park. And wow - this place totally blew us away.Picture this: we're talking about a 30,000-acre park with five of Tennessee's tallest waterfalls, all within walking distance. The main falls? 256 feet of pure gorgeous. Sure, the trails are labeled "moderate," but let's be real - you're scrambling over rocks and definitely need those walking sticks.We stayed at their brand new lodge (built in 2021) and honestly, the whole setup was incredible. Lake views from every room, free breakfast with waffle makers, and staff that actually seemed happy to be there. Plus, they don't even charge you to get into the park - how crazy is that?The best part? We discovered there are like 500 waterfalls between eastern Tennessee and western North Carolina. Who knew? And don't get us started on how pet-friendly this place is - dogs everywhere and everyone's cool with it.We're also diving into why state parks are seriously underrated. Like, people think national parks are the only way to go, but sometimes the state park right next door has better amenities and way fewer crowds.Fair warning, though - we had some thoughts about the restaurant food. Nothing terrible, just... meh. But honestly, after hiking down to see a hairless cat (yes, really), mediocre food was the least of our concerns.Next episode, we're tackling all the Disney news that's been exploding lately, including some changes at Disneyland that we're not exactly thrilled about. But that's a whole other story.

Then we enjoyed a wonderful birthday brunch at Lamplight Lounge. Disney’s Grand California Resort became our go-to for just hanging out and having a great meal. DCA is not the park it used to be, and we can’t wait to see what it becomes in the future.Please rate and review wherever you listen to your podcasts.

    Aug 14 2025
    So, we went to Disneyland for Rob's birthday and honestly? What a trip.We're breaking down everything - from our super walkable hotel (shoutout to the Hilton Garden Inn) to that random brewery we stumbled into at Downtown Disney. And can we talk about how many rides we actually managed to squeeze in? Because apparently, we're overachievers now.We hit everything from Pirates to Toon Town, grabbed Beignets like proper tourists, and somehow made it through Galaxy's Edge without spending our kids' college funds.No sugar-coating here - just the honest truth about what worked, what didn't, and whether Disneyland is actually worth it for a birthday celebration.Love the show? Rate and review us wherever you listen - it seriously helps! Got questions about our trip or want to share your own Disney disaster stories? Hit me up at meg@megandthemouse.com
