Review - Texas - Frisco - Frisco RoughRiders Minor League Baseball Game
Frisco, Texas is a far north suburb of Dallas, Texas (about 30 minutes). The Frisco RoughRiders, a AA minor baseball league team affiliated with the Texas Rangers, play at a nice stadium just off the North Dallas Tollway and Sam Rayburn Tollway. They often have themed nights such as Toy Story Night (when I attended) or Military Appreciation Night.
Ticket prices range depending on the date, game, section and seat. There's also a lawn section you can purchase but you will need to bring blankets to sit on. Parking is an additional cost.
Keep in mind that the stadium is open-roof with limited shaded areas, so plan to be in the full sun. It's also rain or shine so prepare for that as well.
You can't bring your own food or drinks into the stadium. You will go through security before entering the stadium. Clear bags are required. There's a list of rules on their website for what is allowed and not.
There are four official mascots. On the night I visited, I saw two - Prairie Dog, Deuce (the team's official mascot) and Bull Moose (named after Teddy Roosevelt's Bull Moose Party). If you're lucky you may even see their official bat dog named Brooks.
Another thing to keep in mind is you might walk through gravel to get to the play areas in the back. There's a playground for ages 5 to 12 which is fake grass. On the opposite site there are inflatables (which require a $5.00 wristband). The path between the two was gravel and muddy. So skip crocs and bring tennis shoes unless you want dirty feet.
During hot days or nights, there's a giant lazy river open for families on Tuesdays and Sundays (be on the lookout for specially priced events)(tickets are required to keep the pools from overcrowding). Thursdays are for adults 21+ only due to the Twisted Tea sponsorship. Bring your own towel. They provide floats. The water area can be rented for birthday parties or group events. They do sell Swim Passes - $206 for Tuesday Nights (10 vouchers) or $389 for Sundays (10 vouchers).
There are several food and drink vendors such as Donatos Pizza, Chappell Hill Sausage Cart, Bahama Buck's (shaved ice), Frank's, and more. You can check them out here: https://www.milb.com/frisco/ballpark/food-options
Reusable water bottles are allowed so bring one to keep hydrated. There is a Mother's Room located near left centerfield for parents with young infants. Guest Services provides sensory bags if your family needs one.
Overall, it's a fun time with the family.

Review - Florida - Orlando - Easter Decorations at Yacht Club
Something fun to do at Walt Disney World during holidays is to check out the decorations at the Disney resorts. At Christmastime you will see lots of holiday decor, chocolate-covered art works, and decorated holiday trees. For Easter, four resorts display bakery-created Easter Eggs made from chocolate and other ingredients. This year, I was able to check out the Grand Floridian, Beach Club Resort and the Yacht Club. The eggs will remain on display until April 11th, 2024.
Someone asked me about parking at the resort. Most resorts won't allow non-guests or non-dining-reservation holders to park at their location. For Beach Club, you can either take the skyliner over (the station is right around the corner), you can walk over from Epcot (which is what I did), you can take a Disney bus, you can walk over from the other nearby resorts or even the mini golf location, or you can catch a ride from a rideshare program.
