SO GREAT TO SEE YOU. I KNOW IT’S ALWAYS THE BEGINNING OF A NEW MONTH WHEN ERIN ARRIVES. OKAY, LET’S COVER EASTER FIRST. WE’RE IN THE LENTEN SEASON, BUT I FEEL LIKE SO MANY FAMILIES ARE ALREADY THINKING AHEAD TO EASTER PLANS OR TRIPS OR VACATION. WHATEVER YOU HAVE GOING ON AND HOW THEY’LL CELEBRATE. YOU GUYS HAVE THE TEN YEAR, YOUR EASTER EGG HUNT. IT’S THE TEN YEAR ANNIVERSARY, RIGHT? IT IS OUR TEN YEAR. IT’S REALLY EXCITING. OKAY, SO TAKE ME THROUGH THIS. IF PEOPLE DON’T KNOW WHAT IS YOUR EASTER EGG HUNT? IT’S A BIG DEAL. IT REALLY IS. SO WE ARE ONE OF THE ONLY INCLUSIVE EGG HUNTS. I THINK WE MIGHT EVEN BE THE ONLY FROM OUR RESEARCH. SO WE BASICALLY ARE CELEBRATING TEN YEARS OF AN EASTER EGG HUNT. WE DO IT INDOORS EVERY YEAR, SO RAIN OR SHINE, YOUR KIDS WILL HAVE FUN AT AN EASTER EGG HUNT. WE’RE DOING IT AT LAUNCH ORLANDO THIS YEAR, WHICH IS IN WATERFORD LAKES, AND OUR EVENT IS PRESENTED BY NEMOURS. THEY’VE BEEN A GREAT PARTNER OF OURS. AND SO WHAT WE DO IS WE HAVE DIFFERENT TIMED EGG HUNTS. SO THE KIDS ARE GOING BY AGE SO THAT IT’S SAFER BECAUSE OVER THE YEARS WE’VE JUST LEARNED, YOU KNOW, THE BIG KIDS AND LITTLE KIDS DON’T REALLY MIX. SO WE HAVE DIFFERENT TIMED EGG HUNTS THROUGHOUT THE MORNING. WE HAVE A SPECIAL NEEDS EGG HUNT, WHICH IS AN A DEDICATED SPECIAL NEEDS ONLY AREA. SO IT’S QUIET. IT’S THE LIGHTS ARE A LITTLE DIMMER. IT’S JUST A LOT OF FUN. AND SO WHEN YOU SAY INCLUSIVE, IT TRULY IS FOR ALL KIDS WITH ALL ABILITIES. ABSOLUTELY. SO IT’S WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE. THERE ARE BALLOONS THAT ARE TIED TO EGGS, AND THERE’S EGGS KIND OF HIDDEN. SO IT REALLY IS ACCESSIBLE FOR ALL OF THE KIDS AND EVEN KIDS THAT JUST NEED SENSORY FRIENDLY. IT’S A GREAT AREA FOR THEM BECAUSE IT’S NOT AS LOUD AND CHAOTIC WITH THE MUSIC AND ALL THE KIDS AND THE ECHOING AND ALL THE NOISE, YOU KNOW? OKAY, SO FOR PARENTS WATCHING THIS AND THEY’RE THINKING, THIS IS PERFECT FOR MY FAMILY, WHERE DO THEY NEED TO GO? WHAT DO THEY NEED TO KNOW. JUST GO TO ORLANDO.COM. IT’S THE FIRST THING YOU’LL SEE ON OUR WEBSITE. YOU’LL HAVE ALL THE DETAILS AND YOU CAN CLICK TO GET TICKETS THERE. THERE’S A COUPLE CAVEATS YOU DO NEED TO HAVE LAUNCH SOCKS BECAUSE THEY HAVE SPECIAL GRIPPIES FOR THE JUMPING. AND THOSE ARE FOR ALL OF THE KIDS THAT ARE DOING THE EGG HUNTS. THAT’S NOT SPECIAL NEEDS. OKAY. AND THEN YOU’LL NEED TO BRING YOUR OWN BASKET. BUT OTHER THAN THAT IT’S A LOT OF FUN. THERE’S EASTER BUNNY WALKING AROUND, THERE’S SOME PHOTO OPS, AND IT’S JUST A REALLY GREAT TIME FOR FAMILIES. OKAY, I LOVE THAT. OKAY, SO CHECK OUT EASTER EGG HUNT. ALSO SPRING BREAK A FEW WEEKS AWAY. SO MANY, YOU KNOW, LOCAL FAMILIES GETTING READY TO TAKE OFF OR STAY LOCAL. TAKE US THROUGH SOME OF THE RESOURCES YOU HAVE AT THE GUIDES TO HELP FAMILIES. KIND OF FIGURE OUT IF THEY DON’T HAVE THEIR PLANS SET YET, WHAT THEY CAN DO. WE HAVE SO MUCH INFORMATION ON OUR WEBSITE. WE HAVE A FULL SPRING BREAK GUIDE, AND IT KIND OF RUNS YOU THROUGH IMMERSIVE ACTIVITIES AND EXPERIENCES FOR KIDS. OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES. IF YOU HAVE AN ARTSY KID, THERE’S ARTS INFORMATION. IT REALLY JUST KIND OF DEPENDS ON WHAT YOUR KID IS INTERESTED IN. BUT THERE’S SO MANY DIFFERENT THINGS YOU CAN DO LOCALLY. IN ADDITION TO THE THEME PARKS. OBVIOUSLY YOU CAN GO BERRY PICKING, YOU CAN DO SPRING BREAK CAMPS. THERE’S A LOT OF CAMPS LOCALLY, BUT ALSO IF YOU’RE JUST LOOKING FOR LIKE 1 OR 2 DAYS TO PLUG YOUR KIDS IN, YOU CAN GO TO THE SCIENCE CENTER, YOU CAN DO AN ART CLASS. THERE’S TONS OF STUFF TO DO LOCALLY, SO YOU’RE TRYING TO FIND SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY WHAT ONE KID LOVES THE OTHER MAY NOT. RIGHT? AND THERE’S EVEN LIKE WATER ADVENTURE STUFF. THERE’S INDOOR PLAY PLACES. SO REALLY, WHATEVER YOUR KID IS INTO, YOU’LL FIND SOMETHING. ERIN, WHAT IF MOM WANTS A LITTLE BIT OF A BREAK ON SPRING BREAK? I MEAN, JUST EVEN, LIKE, FOR A FEW HOURS. I’M NOT TALKING ABOUT THE WHOLE BREAK OFF, BUT, YOU KNOW, WHAT DO YOU. WHAT DO YOU SAY TO DO AN INDOOR PLAY SPACE? BECAUSE THEY’RE KIND OF CONFINED AND THEY CAN, LIKE, RUN AROUND AND YOU CAN STILL SEE THEM, BUT YOU CAN KIND OF JUST CHILL BACK, MAYBE BRING A FRIEND AND TALK, HAVE YOUR LITTLE GIRL TIME THERAPY SESSION LIKE I DO. IT’S FUN, BUT IT’S ALSO THE KIDS ARE GETTING ENERGY OUT AND THEN HOPEFULLY THEY SLEEP GOOD. OKAY, I LOVE THIS.
