A Touch of Kissimmee Magic with Kimberly J. Brown

Being normal is vastly overrated, and so is a basic vacation. Actress Kimberly J. Brown casts a spell of fun over Kissimmee with castles, goats, and Halloween-ready adventures.

A little goat interference never hurt the creative process! Kimberly J. Brown gets a surprise assist from some curious kids at Alaska Farms.

Kimberly J. Brown has always had a knack for magic — just ask anyone who grew up watching Halloweentown. In this episode of The Kissimmee Experience, Kimberly returned to a world of whimsy and warmth, with her husband and co-star, Daniel, along for a getaway full of laughter and creativity. It may not be Halloweentown, but it’s got a little magic of its own.

A little sleight of hand, a lot of laughter. Kimberly J. Brown shares a magical moment with illusionist Ari Novick at Reunion Castle.

In Kissimmee, vacation rentals don’t just feel like home, they feel like the start of a story. Kimberly and Daniel checked into "The Memories Mansion," a whimsical retreat booked through Magical Vacation Homes. With playful design, cozy comforts, and plenty of space to unwind, it was the perfect place to make some memories of their own. And just when they thought the magic couldn’t go any further, local illusionist Ari Novick dropped by for a private in-home show, turning their vacation into a front-row experience. That’s the beauty of staying in the Vacation Home Capital of the World® — the magic comes to you.

You haven’t lived until you’ve painted beside a goat. At Alaska Farms, Kimberly channeled her inner artist with a brush in one hand and a goat at her side. Known for goat yoga and other delightfully oddball animal encounters, this farm delivered a moment of peace and play and gave Kimberly a chance to get crafty in a whole new way.

Finding a Way Out at Dare2Escape

Kimberly J. Brown and Jen Bonner pose with their certificate of completion inside a movie rental-themed escape room at Dare2Escape in Kissimmee.

Escape accomplished! Kimberly’s first-ever escape room ended in success (and smiles) at Dare2Escape’s retro movie rental room.

Kimberly had never done an escape room before, but you wouldn’t know it. At Dare2Escape, she solved clues, opened secret doors, and stumbled upon a hidden Halloweentown DVD that was sneakily planted as an Easter egg. It was spooky, silly, and full of twists, just like the best kind of Halloween fun.
