What we actually did — scored so we remember.
Sarah and I recap the day, then we review the places we ate, the rides we rode, the concerts we sit through, and the golf courses Ryan plays. Cities like Orlando, Tampa, and Lakeland are the home base — Disney, downtown, eats, and local golf nest under the city. Concerts and brand experiences stay as their own lists. Knup scores are out of 10. Google stays five stars for restaurants and courses when we post. Disney World is our last Orlando year on annual passes; when we leave, the same habit goes with us.

Best-of lists we rewrite when the scores change. These stay here — not on the blog.
Roundups start after we have enough reviews in one park or city to rank without guessing.
