Hello! My name is Jenn, and I suffer from anxiety. As I get older it seems to be getting worse, not better, which strikes me as unfair. Alas, we must deal with the mental struggles we are given. I will be using Fear from Inside Out as my avatar during this post. Yes, I know Inside Out 2 features...

I did not plan for Universal’s Great Movie Escape, and it almost broke me. I kid, I kid! It’s just an escape room; it’s not that deep.

Enter my cousin-in-law (that’s a real term; I checked) Kate, the only member of my family who loves Disney parks as much as I do. She recently came over to...

Universal Studios Florida's 2024 Halloween Horror Nights event is over for the year, but I can't resist doing a debrief anyway. After all, I was a VERY brave girl. 😅 I will be approaching this post with a light overlay of the point of view of someone with neurodivergence. One thing many neurodivergent individuals love is INFORMATION; I am one...
