Maybe it is the allure of the all you can eat soup, salad and bread sticks or the fact that there are over 500 locations and it is easy to find one just about anywhere. Regardless of the reason, if you only have time to dine one place near Wild Waves make it the Olive Garden, and save room for the Black Tie Mousse Cake which is our treat of the week. You will find an Olive Garden located just 10 minutes from Wild Waves. It is worth the drive!
Wild waves like many amusement parks offers your most common treats like cotton candy which is pretty hard to resist. But the main candy store in the park offers some of the best fudge you will ever try…

We are taking advantage of an annual pass offered by Wild Play Elements Park in Maple Ridge BC with various other locations available. This is a great way to have a lot of fun and stay fit.
I highly recommend looking into purchasing annual passes for huge savings at zoos, aquariums, theme parks, ski resorts, water parks, fitness centers and any other activity you might have in close proximity to where you live. With 52 weeks in a year, looking for fun things to do can often seem taxing on your time and energy. Often annual passes are priced at the cost of just a few visits, very often even less. If you are thinking long term, the cost savings on acquiring an annual pass makes the most sense.
Living on the west coast outside of Vancouver BC we enjoy a mild climate and a lot of rain. When it pours, there is nothing greater than taking a short flight early in the morning and being under a palm tree in time for lunch on a beach…
Enjoy your vacation with peace of mind knowing that you have all the essentials required for your trip. Computers crash and errors occur, ensure you have a print out of any receipts for prepaid bookings and reservation codes. Proof of payment can be vital for airline tickets, transfers and parking. I have run into many situations that have required proof of booking and payment. Another important part of your vacation is to do a pre check before you walk out the door. Making sure you have all of the necessary items including travel essentials like battery chargers and phone cables. I don’t think there is any one thing more annoying on vacation than having the unnecessary expense of rebuying something you already own like a phone charger that you forgot to pack. Not to mention the precious vacation time wasted on finding a store instead of enjoying your vacation time. Here is a checklist and a few good Travel Hacks:
If you can only do one thing at Huntington Beach, go to Duke’s Restaurant and order the Hula Pie, everything else you do will be just a bonus. This dessert alone is worth the drive!
Many great restaurants can be found right on the beach as well as within walking distance of the Huntington Pier. If you can only dine at one restaurant at Huntington beach make sure you stop at Duke’s Restaurant…

Many of the treats found in the parks can be found in Downtown Disney with a few of its own unique items. In Downtown Disney we love the Kettle Corn. This treat is hard to walk past without picking up a freshly made bag of kettle corn.
We love relaxing in Downtown Disney the day before or the day after we have used our park hopper ticket. With so many great dining options we always like to make time to stop at a few of our personal favorites. The restaurant portions in general are large, so we often share meals to save room for dessert. If you only have time for one great meal in Downtown Disney, make sure you don’t miss the ESPN zone.
