The Official Trip Rankings 🏆

Nine days, four parks, and a whole lot of debating in the car on the way home. After all of it, here’s where the Uting family landed — the champions of the trip.

Best ParkMagic Kingdom
Best IconCinderella Castle
Best Nighttime ShowHappily Ever After
Best ParadeFestival of Fantasy
Best SnackIt’s a tieMickey ice cream sandwich (Chris) vs. Dole Whip (Kelsey)
The Grand Final split the house: Chris crowned Magic Kingdom — the park that gave us two perfect days. Kelsey crowned the Safari — the morning the whole family watched real lions together. Both right.

The whole family is driving down, and I’m filming every day of the adventure.

Howdy, y’all

I’m Chris — Kelsey’s husband and dad to Emma, Rhett & Sadie. I work at a kids’ gym, tackle handyman jobs on the side, and film the chaos in between. This is where I share the laughs, real-life moments, and stories we’re making along the way.

Fuel the next video That Arkansas Dad runs on sweet tea and good stories. If the videos make you laugh — or leave you wanting to see what’s next — tossing a few bucks in the jar helps fund the next adventure: gas, props, and the occasional emergency ice cream.
