Affectionately referred to as “America’s Team,” the five-time Super Bowl champs have fans from all over the country, who flock to see games at the epic AT&T Stadium.

From the massive, retractable roof to the infamous video board that spans 60 yards long, everything about this venue screams “Bigger is better.”

 

AT&T Stadium is a destination within itself. Even when the ‘Boys aren’t playing, you can take a tour or even host a special event here. Corporate planners can reserve one of the stadium’s 320 event spaces, like the 16 private suites with views of the field or the Owners Club for up to 600 guests.

The Stockyards National Historic District is one of the city’s oldest areas. The neighborhood served as a major livestock market in the late 1800s during the Wild West era, but these days the Stockyards are one of Fort Worth’s most popular tourist attractions. The heart of the Stockyards is Exchange Avenue, a historic brick-paved street lined with shops, saloons, and restaurants.

There’s plenty to do in the Stockyards, from the famous cattle drive to rodeos, museums, and art galleries. Take your group to experience the world’s only twice-daily cattle drive, which happens on Exchange Ave. at 11:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. After you watch the cattle drive, explore the shops and saloons before catching a rodeo or enjoying a meal at a local restaurant.

Planning a group trip to Fort Worth? Cowtown has a lot to offer visitors, from rodeos and cattle drives to fine dining and world-renowned museums. These activities can get pricey, though, especially if you’re traveling with a big group. To get the most value out of your trip, we’ve compiled a few tips for keeping costs low while maximizing fun. And we also offer affordable Fort Worth bus rentals you can easily book!

Don’t Sweat the Transportation Costs

If you’re coming from Dallas, the trek to Fort Worth is only about 30 miles. You can make the journey in just under 40 minutes during non-peak travel times. But if you’re traveling during rush hour, you may want to consider an alternative to driving personal vehicles.

With so many people making their way to Fort Worth every year for the Stockyards, events at Dickies Arena, and the city’s vibrant nightlife scene, traffic congestion during peak hours is nearly unavoidable. That’s why Partybus.com provides bus rental services throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

If your group is coming from out-of-state, there are multiple airports within reasonable driving distance. From the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), it’s a 30-minute drive to Fort Worth. Dallas Love Field Airport is another option, and is located within 35 miles of Fort Worth. Rather than renting multiple cars for a big group, charter a bus and keep everyone together in a comfy, climate-controlled motorcoach or minibus.

Long road trips can be a real pain in the neck—and the back, shoulders, hips, and legs too! Hours of sitting in the same position can leave you feeling stiff and achy. But don’t worry, we’ve got a solution that doesn’t involve stopping every hour to do jumping jacks on the side of the highway.

Say hello to Partybus.com‘s charter bus rental approved stretching! Performing simple stretches during your trip can help increase mobility, relieve muscle tension, and refresh you when you reach your destination. We’ve rounded up some of our absolute favorite stretches that you can easily do from the comfort of your reclining bus seat and when you stop at your destination.

Get ready to arrive feeling more energized than when you started!

The Basics

Why stretch? Well, easy! Proper stretching increases blood flow and range of motion while decreasing your risk of muscle strain — especailly if your setting out on a long distance journey like 6 hour ride from Los Angeles to San Francisco — 0r the 7 hours from Louisville to Charlotte. There are two main types of stretches: Static stretches, where you stretch a muscle to its farthest point and hold the position. Dynamic stretches that involve controlled movements to loosen up the muscles. We recommend focusing on static stretches for bus travel since dynamic stretches require more space. Hold each stretch for 15-30 seconds, remembering to breathe deeply and never bounce, which can cause injury.

Stretches To Do In Your Seat

Learning how to stretch while sitting can relieve you of tense body pains while waiting for the next stop! Here are a few seated stretches you can do on your next trip.

Upper Back

One of the very first areas to feel muscle tightness is your upper back. This occurs when your seat isn’t angled correctly or if you’re hunched over while sitting. When you’re tensed up like that, you will most likely feel the brunt of the pain on your traps and rhomboids.

One helpful seat stretch exercise you can do to relieve pain from your upper back is to stretch this area out. First, place both of your feet flat on the floor. Next, lift your left arm up at a 90-degree angle, elbow down. Now place the crook of your right arm under your left elbow and reach your hand, threading the forearm.

Alternatively, if you’re unable to do the first, you can also simply place the crook of your right arm underneath the elbow, straighten your arm, and pull it towards you while twisting your torso along with the motion. Repeat for the other arm.

Middle Back

Not too far from your upper back is your middle back. This area is also prone to tightness if you’re sitting down for too long. You can loosen it up with some seated stretches.

First, cross your right leg over your left leg. Twist your torso gently toward your right leg. Hold it for five seconds, then do the same thing for the other side. But switch up your legs for the other side.

Another seat stretch exercise you can do is by curving your spine. Square your feet on the floor shoulder-width apart. Place your hands above your knees and intertwine them while your elbows are planted on your knees. Now, curve your spine towards your seat. Hold this position for about five seconds and repeat the process ten times.

Hips

Pressure can build up on your hips when you’re sitting for too long. Oftentimes, this pressure can be easily relieved while standing up and walking it out. But there are times when you just have to learn how to stretch while sitting if you can’t walk or stand up just yet — especially when you should not be standing up on a moving charter bus.

Stretch out your hips by placing the outside portion of your right ankle on your left knee while sitting up straight. While in that position, gently push your right knee downward, using your left knee as a fulcrum. You will feel your hips and buttocks being stretched out. Hold the position for a few seconds and release. Do this for the other side as well.

Neck

Your neck is one of the most crucial parts of your body and one of the most susceptible to stiffness and cramping when sitting for prolonged periods of time — especially when you’re looking down at cars when playing a fun game on the bus or at the tablet or phone! It also gets worse as discomfort on your neck could lead to a headache.

To perform this seat stretch exercise, begin by sitting up straight on your seat. Place your left hand under your seat and brace yourself. Place your right hand over while holding the left side of your head. Slowly pull down your head to the right to stretch your neck and traps. Hold for a few seconds and repeat. Do the same for the other side.

Shoulders

Once you’re done with the seated stretches for your neck, it’s time to stretch out your shoulders. In a seated position, place both hands on the back of your head. Nod and face the floor while pulling your head downward to stretch the back of your neck and traps. Make sure to inhale and exhale deeply and properly while doing the stretches.

Stretches To Do At Rest Stops

Along with stretching in your seat, make sure that throughout your road trip, you also pull over occasionally and use rest stops to your advantage for some quick stretches. You can walk around to get your legs moving, and there are a lot of other easy moves you can do to soothe your muscles while at a rest stop, too. Here are some of the best stretches to break up a long bus ride and with Partybus.com you’re able to make as many stops as you want:

Toe Touches

One simple yet effective stretch you can do while at a rest area is toe touches. Toe touches benefit your hamstrings, calves and lower back. This stretch simply requires you to bend at the waist, letting your arms reach down toward your feet. Reach as far down as you can without bending your legs and hold your arms there for a few seconds.

Ankle Rolls

Doing some ankle rolls at a rest stop can help restore the blood circulation in your feet, ankles and legs. To do ankle rolls, use one hand to hold on to something to keep your balance and put the other hand on your hip. Lift your right leg, bending it at the knee so your foot is off the ground. Rotate your foot at the ankle slowly in one direction for eight to 10 rotations, then reverse directions and repeat. Put your right foot down and finish the stretch by completing the same thing with the left foot.

Calf Stretches

Another way to restore blood circulation in your feet while also relieving heel pain and stretching your calf muscles is calf stretches. This stretch requires an object for you to put your foot on, such as a rest stop bench. Place the toes of one foot on the object, and lean forward, pushing against your foot. You should feel a slight stretch behind your toes and in the arch of your foot.

Hamstring Stretches

Stretching your hamstrings is simple to do and can help relieve pain from sitting for too long. Stand up with your feet a little more than shoulder-width apart. Lean forward at the waist to touch your toes. Slightly bend your knees, reaching toward the ground as far as you can. Remember to breathe deeply into the stretch, holding this position for a few seconds.

Hip Stretches

To stretch out your hips, start on one knee in a lunge position. Push your pelvis forward so that your front knee bends and your back knee straightens. If you feel off-balance, you can stabilize yourself by placing your hands on the ground or on your front leg. Repeat with the opposite leg to finish the stretch.

Squats

After sitting for a long time, you may feel some pressure or aches in your hips and glutes. One way to help get rid of these aches is to stretch by doing a few squats. One way to do this safely is with the help of a bench to keep your balance and allow you to immerse yourself deeply into the stretch.

To start the squat, stand with your feet hip-width apart, slowly bending your knees and lowering your body. Hold on to the bench and come down as far as you comfortably can. With your arms straight along the seat of the bench holding the far side, grip the bench and lean back until you feel a gentle stretch, holding this position for 15-30 seconds. Slowly return to a standing position, and repeat this stretch a few times.

Now You’re Ready for a comfy ride!

After all these stretches, you’ll be feeling loose and refreshed, ready to continue your bus trip. Sitting for long periods can be brutal on the body, but these easy stretches help counteract the stiffness and aches. Next time you’ve got a long journey ahead of you, make sure to take some time every so often to give these a try – your body will thank you!

Disneyland (@disneyland) • Instagram photos and videos

The History of Disneyland

Disneyland opened on July 17, 1955 in Anaheim, California, making it the first of Walt Disney’s magical theme park creations. The original park remains one of the world’s top vacation destinations, with Disneyland welcoming millions of guests each year to experience classic Disney rides and attractions.

After success with animated films and the Disneyland TV series, Walt Disney had a vision to create a unique family park where both children and adults could have fun together. He purchased 160 acres of land in Anaheim, with construction beginning in 1954. Disney was extremely involved during Disneyland’s creation, with his attention to detail and showmanship laying the foundation for the resort’s renowned “Disney Difference.”

Several of Disneyland’s original attractions from opening day 1955 are still operating over 60 years later. These include classics like Jungle Cruise, Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride, Peter Pan’s Flight, King Arthur Carrousel, and the Disneyland Railroad. Many have been updated and reimagined over the decades, allowing new generations to create fresh magical memories.

Disneyland was such a smash hit that Walt Disney quickly acquired more land to double the size of the park and add new areas like New Orleans Square. In 2001, Disney opened a second gate right next door – Disney California Adventure Park – providing even more attractions and entertainment.

Admission & Passes Information

Like any world-class vacation destination, visiting Disneyland isn’t exactly cheap. However, savvy park-goers can find ways to save on admission by choosing the right tickets and passes for their group.

For starters, Disney prices its tickets using a tier system based on projected crowd levels. The cheapest Tier 1 single-day tickets currently start at $104 per adult, $98 per child. More crowded days like major holidays get bumped up to the most expensive Tier 6 pricing of $164 adults, $155 children.

Scoring a Park Hopper pass – which allows you to visit both Disneyland and Disney California Adventure in the same day – provides more flexibility and value. A Tier 1 Park Hopper for instance costs only $60 more than a single-park ticket.

For longer vacations or frequent visitors, various annual passes are available. The mid-level Disney Flex Passport starts at $599 and is a great money-saving option, as it includes reservations and Park Hopper privileges.

Even after purchasing passes, guests also still need to make free reservations in advance for the day they plan to visit each park. This can easily be done online through the Disneyland website or app.

Disneyland also offers extra paid extras like the Genie+ service that allows guests to schedule Lightning Lane arrival times for select attractions to reduce time waiting in standby lines. Prices range from $20-$25 per person, per day.

Park Hours & Addresses

Disneyland’s operating hours vary daily, so it’s important to check the official schedule before your visit. In general though, the parks tend to be open between the hours of around 8am to midnight, seven days a week year-round.

The address for Disneyland Resort is: 1313 Disneyland Dr. Anaheim, CA 92802

Within the Disneyland Resort complex, the two theme parks neighbor each other on the property. Disneyland Park’s address is: 700 W Ball Rd. Anaheim, CA 92802

And Disney California Adventure Park is located at: 1313 Disneyland Dr. Anaheim, CA 92802

In addition to the theme parks, Disneyland Resort also includes Downtown Disney – a lively promenade of dining, entertainment and shopping. Downtown Disney District connects the two parks and stays open later than park hours.

On nights when the parks close early for private events, Downtown Disney typically remains open to all visitors. Many restaurants and venues offer live entertainment into the late hours. So it can be a great option for groups looking to keep the night going even after spending a full day inside the parks.

The three on-site resort hotels – Disneyland Hotel, Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, and the Pixar Place Hotel – are all conveniently connected to the theme parks and Downtown Disney District.

How to Get There

Disneyland Resort is located about 30 minutes south of downtown Los Angeles right off Interstate 5. From LA, drivers can take I-5 South to Exit 109 – Disneyland Dr/Ball Road. Be prepared for potential heavy traffic, especially on weekends and holidays as the resort area gets congested. For those coming from other areas of Southern California like San Diego, Riverside, or Palm Springs, I-5 remains the most direct route. Groups coming from north of LA should take I-5 South as well.

Flying in for your Disneyland vacation? The two closest major airports to Disneyland are:

• Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) – Approximately 35 miles from Disneyland
• John Wayne Airport (SNA) – About 15 miles away in Orange County

While you could rent a car upon arrival, renting a shuttle or private bus transportation is often easier. Simply provide your flight details to us, and we’ll your group directly from the airport to your Disneyland hotel or park entrance with no worries about driving. There are also shuttles to/from other nearby airports like Long Beach and Ontario, as well as Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center (ARTIC) train station. With so many transportation options easily accessible, getting to the Happiest Place on Earth is a breeze!

The Best Way To Get There & Park

While driving your own vehicle and parking at Disneyland is an option, dealing with labyrinth-like roads and overflowing lots can put a damper on the magic before your day even starts. Not to mention the expensive parking fees of up to $30 per car. For larger groups visiting the parks, a private bus rental is definitely the way to go.

With a comfortable party bus from Partybus.com, your whole crew travels together hassle-free. No more stressing about finding an open spot or overpaying for preferred parking. Just unload at the drop-off area, and your driver will take care of the rest.

Partybus.com partners with transportation companies located right in Los Angeles and Anaheim, so securing a Disneyland party bus rental is easy-peasy. We provide instant quotes on a variety of vehicles capable of accommodating anywhere from 10 to 50 guests. It’s a super convenient solution for kids’ sports teams attending Disneyland events, company outings, weddings, or any multi day group trips.

Best Attractions for Groups with Children

Bringing kids in tow? You’ll definitely want to prioritize some of Disneyland and California Adventure’s more family-friendly rides and shows during your visit. Here are some top picks for attractions sure to charm youngsters:

At Disneyland Park:

You’ll find beloved national chains like the House of Blues, La Brea Bakery, Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen, and Naples Flatbread sharing space with signature Disney venues like the tropical Tortilla Jo’s, opulent Catal Restaurant, and nostalgic Splitsville Luxury Lanes retro bowling alley.

Pro Tips for Visiting Disneyland in Los Angeles

To ensure your group has the most magical Disneyland experience possible, keep these pro tips in mind:

• Use the Disneyland app and services like Genie+ to plan your day, check wait times, make dining reservations, join virtual queues, and maximize your time. Being prepared is key.
• Arrive at park opening and use Early Entry if you’re staying at a Disneyland Resort hotel. Attractions fill up fast!
• Pack snacks, sunscreen, portable chargers, and comfortable walking shoes. Keep hydrated too!
• When visiting popular rides, take advantage of single rider lines if your group is willing to split up temporarily.
• Schedule breaks to recharge. Sit-down meals or catching an indoor show or movie can provide much-needed downtime between rides.
• Consider splurging for premium experiences like character dining or VIP tour guides during peak seasons to skip long lines.
• If visiting in warmer months, pack ponchos or plan indoor activities during common afternoon shower times. Many outdoor rides shut down for lightning.
• Budget for extras like favored snacks, souvenirs and Disneyland’s iconic turkey legs.
• For extended trips, rest days at the hotel pool or Downtown Disney are wise. You’ll avoid burnout from back-to-back park days.
• Make the most of magic hours, parades, and nighttime spectaculars like World of Color, Main St Electrical Parade, and fireworks!

The History of Universal Studios Hollywood

Universal Studios Hollywood first opened its gates in 1964 as a humble studio tour, giving visitors a glimpse behind the scenes of real working movie sets. But over the decades, it grew into a full-fledged theme park, becoming one of the anchors of Universal Parks & Resorts. Today, it’s the company’s oldest park and the second most popular, just behind Universal Orlando.

While other theme parks rely on fantasy and imagination, Universal Hollywood distinguishes itself by bringing the magic of the movies to life. Many of its rides and attractions are based on iconic films and TV shows from the Universal library as well as other major studios. From vengeful mummies to man-eating dinosaurs to a certain boy wizard, your favorite on-screen characters await you around every turn.

Admission & Passes Information

Universal Hollywood offers a variety of admission passes and front-of-the-line options to suit every visitor’s needs and budget. Single-day general admission provides access to all shows, rides, and the World-Famous Studio Tour, with adult tickets typically ranging from $109 to $129 depending on the time of year. Two-day tickets are also available but don’t offer much of a discount over two single-day admissions.

Where Universal’s passes really set themselves apart is in their Express options. An Express ticket allows guests to skip the regular lines for each ride, attraction, and seated show one time during their visit. This perk alone is worth its weight in gold during peak seasons when wait times can stretch for multiple hours. Express tickets have a flat rate for adults and children, costing between $189 and $299 depending on dates.

Park Hours & Addresses

Universal Studios Hollywood is located at 100 Universal City Plaza, Universal City, CA 91608 – just 10 short miles northwest from Downtown Los Angeles off the 101 Freeway. Park operating hours vary throughout the year but generally fall within these ranges:

Monday – Friday: 10 AM to 6 PM

Saturday – Sunday: 9 AM to 6 PM

The nearby Universal CityWalk entertainment promenade has its own operating hours separate from the theme park:

Sunday – Thursday: 11 AM to 10 PM

Friday – Saturday: 11 AM to 11 PM

During peak travel seasons like summer and major holidays, both the theme park and CityWalk extend their hours to accommodate larger crowds. Special events like Halloween Horror Nights and Grinchmas can also bring longer operating schedules. Check Universal’s website or call their hotline at 800-864-8377 before your visit to confirm the day’s hours.

How to Get There

Getting to Universal Studios Hollywood is pretty straightforward when traveling with a personal bus driver thanks to the park’s location just off the 101 Hollywood Freeway. Individual cars and ride-shares exiting onto Lankershim Boulevard can end up stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic around Universal City, but charter buses have their own dedicated lanes to keep moving at a steady pace. Direct your driver to take you directly to the Bus/Vehicular Entrance at Universal Studios Blvd before letting everyone off at the designated unloading zone for large groups next to the main entrance.

You’ll save major headaches and time by not needing to find parking yourself. Universal charges $30 for general parking up to $50 for premium lots closer to the park entrances. These fees can soar even higher during peak seasons and holidays. Charter bus parking will incur some additional costs as well, but splitting this fee amongst your group makes this transportation method much more cost-efficient.

The Best Way To Get There & Park

By far, the easiest way for groups to get to Universal Studios Hollywood is by bus rental through PartyBus.com. We’ll pair you with the perfect bus model for your group size, whether it’s an 18-passenger minibus or a full-sized 56-passenger motorcoach or a party bus! All of our rentals receive a seamless transportation experience that keeps everyone together while avoiding pricey parking costs and sluggish LA traffic around the theme park.

When you book with PartyBus.com, your driver will take your group through Universal City directly to the designated bus loading zone adjacent to the park’s main entrance. From there, your group can easily access the iconic art-deco front gates while the driver handles parking the bus. Oversized vehicles like charter buses have their own private parking lots surrounding Universal CityWalk, just a short stroll away from where you’ll be dropped off.

In the likely situation that you’ll have personal vehicles or rideshares dropping off additional guests, be sure to share the pick-up/drop-off instructions provided by Universal Studios Hollywood. Personal vehicle parking is an expensive hassle better avoided during any group outing.

While Universal pulls no punches when it comes to offering adult-friendly thrills and chills, the theme park also keeps the nostalgia factor high with revered classic attractions centered around more timeless movie properties. One of the crown jewels of the lineup, Revenge of the Mummy remains a beloved dark ride 18 years after its debut. This indoor rollercoaster blends memorable moments from the Brendan Fraser-led Mummy film franchise with intense coaster thrills like sudden launches, dizzying inversions, and hair-raising encounters with ancient mummies.

No visit to Universal Hollywood would be complete without experiencing The World-Famous Studio Tour, which has faithfully operated since the park’s opening in 1964. This sublime mix of a theme park attraction and a behind-the-scenes look at real movie magic takes guests on a sprawling journey through Universal’s working backlot and soundstages. In addition to cameos by legendary props and settings like the infamous Bates Motel from Psycho, the Studio Tour incorporates memorable ride experiences like the earth-shaking King Kong 3D battle and the high-octane Fast & Furious – Supercharged grand finale.

Ride the Studio Tour

Originally, the World-Famous Studio Tour offered a simple tram ride around Universal Studios’ active backlot streets and filming locations. Over the decades, the tour has evolved into one of the most ambitious and innovative theme park attractions ever created. The highlight of any visit to Universal Studios Hollywood, the Studio Tour combines a behind-the-scenes look at real production facilities with cutting-edge special effects and dazzling stunts ripped straight from the silver screen.

Your tour guide will provide a fascinating historical perspective as your tram explores iconic outdoor sets like the Courthouse Square from Back to the Future and Wisteria Lane from Desperate Housewives. But the thrills really kick into high gear during the tour’s masterfully-produced ride sequences. First, you’ll brave an intense 3D battle with a rampaging great ape during the King Kong 360 3D segment. Then, the grand finale at the Fast & Furious – Supercharged allows you to experience the underground world of LA’s street racing scene in a revolutionary combination of hyper-realistic set pieces and visceral special effects.

Universal Studios Hollywood brings J.K. Rowling’s enchanting Wizarding World to life in spectacular fashion, combining the beloved stories and characters of the Harry Potter universe with mind-blowing detailing and next-level immersion. Located just across from the iconic archway entrance into Universal’s village area, the precise recreation of Hogsmeade will have even muggle visitors swearing they’ve journeyed straight into the pages of the books and movies.

Stop for a magical refreshment at the Three Broomsticks tavern or Hog’s Head pub before sampling fizzing whizbees and acid pops confections at the Honeydukes sweet shop. Be sure to carve out some time to browse the endless shelves of fanciful wands, quills, and robes at Wand shops like Ollivanders and Dervish and Banges. Harry Potter fans young and old will be dazzled by the intricate Owlery and the majestic Hogwarts Castle towering over the land. While simply wandering through Hogsmeade is an attraction unto itself, the signature ride attraction Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey utilizes cutting-edge technology to take you soaring over the castle grounds on an enchanted broomstick journey.

Pro Tips for Visiting Universal Studios Hollywood

• Download the Universal Studios Hollywood mobile app before arriving. This handy app lets you view park maps, check ride wait times, and even purchase admission tickets.

• Consider adding the Universal Express option to skip the regular lines at all rides and shows once during your visit. Express passes are invaluable during peak seasons when crowds are at their heaviest.

• Arrive before opening and head straight for the big-ticket attractions first. Popular rides like Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey and Jurassic World see their longest lines during the middle of the day.

• Pack food or snacks with you to save money on meals inside the park. Outside food and non-alcoholic beverages are permitted for guest entry.

• Give yourself ample time for the World-Famous Studio Tour. Not only is this attraction epic in scale, but wait times can get long on busy days.

• Check the park calendar for any special events or extended hours during your visit. Halloween Horror Nights, grad nights and Grinchmas are especially popular seasonal events in the fall/winter.

• Take breaks often, especially in summer. Universal Hollywood has plenty of shaded areas and indoor shows for you to cool off during peak heat.
