4 Frozen Treat Spots You Should Visit In Orlando

As much as we all love Orlando, the killer heat isn’t a favorite. You might think sitting in an air-conditioned room will do the trick, but you’re always disappointed when you get up from the couch, drenched in sweat that leaves a huge, wet spot on your favorite t-shirt.

But we know just the way to help you fight the Orlando heat!

Take a look at some of the best-frozen treat spots in Orlando that will make you go “brrr!”

The Pop Parlor

If you’re in downtown Orlando and don’t visit the Pop parlor, you’re missing out big time. The parlor offers remarkably fresh ice pops that are made from real fruits, herbs, and vegetables. 

The flavors are created by combining different organic elements such as rum with watermelon, raspberry, and lemonade or whiskey with roasted cornflakes and vanilla. As weird as they sound, these ice creams pop may be the best-frozen treats you enjoy in Orlando.

Scoop’s Old Fashioned Ice-cream store

Long before Ben & Jerry’s came in, Scoop’s Old Fashioned Ice-cream store was dominating the ice-cream scene in Orlando, and it wouldn’t be wrong to say that it still is. 

Worn wooden counters and a low-rise panoramic glass display with old-fashioned bar tools—the place reeks of the 90s, and we don’t mind being transformed back into that era as we lick a cone of butter pecan or mint chocolate chip.

Goff’s Dive-In

There’s nothing that compares to giving in to sudden pangs of sweet tooth cravings—and the Goff’s Drive-In does just that! 

Their legendary custard-like soft serve is still the ice-cream of the day and the vanilla cones dipped in a cherry coating, topped with creamy hot fudge milkshake gets us swooning every time without fail!

The Sugar Factory

Did someone say alcoholic chocolate martinis? Count us in!

This frozen treat spot is for adults as it offers a wide verity of alcohol-based ice creams. 

Whether it’s the world-famous King Kong sundae or the new melted dark chocolate truffles served with Dom Perignon and cognac, The Sugar Factory will always hold a special place in our hearts with its enthralling menu and even better flavors!

Getting Private Time on a Family Vacation—4 Tips for Couples

Family vacations can get incredibly exhausting, especially if you’re traveling with kids and elderly family members. They can take weeks or months of planning, preparing, looking for deals and discounts, figuring out travel and accommodation such as rental vacation homes, and more.

When you’re actually there, it doesn’t get much easier either. You’re always scrambling to get everyone ready and out the door, so you don’t miss your ride, or you’re trying to feed, bathe or clothe someone, dragging kids away from expensive souvenir stores or handling tantrums because they’re too tired. It’s maddening and it’s easy to forget that it’s your vacation too.

This is why couples must establish some boundaries and make sure they spend time together while on vacation. Here are some tips to successfully achieve that and make the most of your time:

1. Get a separate room

One of the best ways to enjoy privacy while on vacation is by getting a separate room for yourselves. Blue Travel’s vacation rental homes in Orlando, FL come with multiple rooms so even if you’re traveling with a large group, you can get a lot of space; book ASAP so you don’t miss out. If your kids are used to co-sleeping, take this opportunity to break this practice since it can be risky anyway.

2. Ask older family members or friends to babysit

Older siblings, aunts, uncles, grandparents or your friends can help out with this too. If you’re multiple couples, you can hire babysitters or find local kids clubs, or take shifts babysitting each other’s kids so each couple gets a break. 

It can be very useful to travel with family and friends; someone’s always got your back. Let them stay back in your vacation home where they can watch TV, play games, go for a swim and never get bored!

3. Spend time together whenever possible

Not scheduled time together, but sneaking out for walks, food, and snacks, going shopping, exploring the town, going for a swim or cuddling up for a movie when the kids are asleep; there's a lot that you can do together. Even if you go out to theme parks or tourist sites, head someplace private, do your own thing for a bit and make your own memories.

4. Schedule date nights

While you should take every opportunity, you also need to make an effort to take some time out. No compromise on date night, unless it’s an emergency. Whether you go out just once, or every night, this is something you need to do together to keep the spark alive. It doesn’t have to be fancy dinners or something extravagant; a simple burger date should also be good. It’s about the company.

Spending time together is very important for couples; it’s for you to slow down and appreciate each other and the wild vacation you're on during the long journey of life! Contact Blue Travel to book your vacation home and enjoy all the privacy you need—while enjoying with your friends and family!
