Happy Fun Fact Friday!

I am a HUGE Disney trivia nerd, so I thought I would share some fun trivia with all of you weekly!

08/22/2024

Welcome to part 1!
Did you know Disneyland started as a sketch on a napkin? 🌟 Walt Disney’s dream of a magical place where families could have fun together began with a simple drawing. This vision soon became the happiest place on Earth. What’s your favorite Disneyland memory?

Where in the World Wednesday part 4!
Make your guess below in the comments, and make sure you come back next week for the next one!

Everything that Disney does is photogenic, and for a good reason! Since Walt's time, Imagineers have made everything as if it were a movie set, complete with long shots, mid shots and close ups. You can find some of the sweetest, most thought out details in things like pavement, chairs, marble floors and so much more. Everywhere you turn, there is a picture waiting to be taken!

In this weekly feature, I will post a picture from somewhere/something throughout Walt Disney World, and you have to guess what/where it is!

I have put a few ground rules in place:
1. It will not be something seasonal, it will be something you can see/experience no matter what time of year you visit Walt Disney World.
2. It will not be something that doesn't exist anymore, it will be something that you could go tomorrow and find.
3. It could be from anywhere across Walt Disney World property; it could be a hotel, something in the parks (attraction, restaurant, shop etc.), or mode of transportation for example.
4. It will be something/somewhere that all guests would have access to; it could be a hotel room, but it won't be anything exclusive (special lounges, off limit areas etc.)
5. It will be from Walt Disney World only (for now); no Disneyland, cruise ships or international parks.

Happy guessing!

Happy Travel Tip Tuesday!
Join airline loyalty programs to start earning points and miles towards future trips. Some airlines even have credit cards, so you can earn points making every day purchases. There are programs like Airmiles or Travel Points that can be used across different airlines and even destinations! Loyalty programs are usually free, and can end up saving you tons of money.

Give me the name of the movie that this quote is from, and the character who says it. No cheating!

What are some of your favourite Disney memories?
Thank you Facebook memories for reminding me that my first Disney trip with Andrew was 14 years ago! I thought I’d post a few pics from the trip as a fun little trip down memory lane. It was 2 years before my next Disney trip for my undergraduate graduation trip, 3 years before I moved to Orlando and started working for the Walt Disney Company, 4 years before we got engaged at Magic Kingdom and 6 years before we got married at the Boardwalk! It’s funny to see how much everything (us and the parks 🤪) have changed in that time.
We were in our early 20s, had been together almost 2 years and wanted to go on a trip somewhere. I honestly don’t know how we landed on WDW, but I do remember telling Andrew we could never breakup because he wasn’t allowed to ruin the parks for me. I had already been many times, but Andrew had only been once before. And now here we are!
We stayed at Port Orleans French Quarter and it was around $1600USD total for the two of us for 5 nights, 4 days of tickets, and the dining plan. I can’t remember what the promotion was, but I do remember paying $100-200USD per paycheque to pay it off. I remember calling in around a month and a half before the trip because a promotion came out and being amazed that they could apply it for us, even though we had already paid most of the trip off. It was probably this trip that originally planted the seed that I could do this for a living.

Happy Travel Tip Tuesday!
I always try to book nonstop flights to minimize your travel time. Flights with connections may be less expensive, but who wants to wait around at JFK or O'Hare for a connection when you could already be in the parks having fun in the sun with Mickey and friends? Not me! Weigh out the pros and cons of connections vs. direct and see what is more important to your family.

Ready to roll at D23 day 2! Click The Mouse Travel

08/09/2024

What a day!! I left my house at 5:45am EST and ended the day at the hotel at 8:45pm PST. We got to Disneyland in time to ride Haunted Mansion Holiday, something that I’ve never done before and has been on my wish list for a long time. We had coconut/pineapple floats at Tropical Hideaway, then dinner at Cafe Orleans before grabbing some special D23 magic shots and heading back to the hotel. Not it’s time to rest and recharge and get ready for the first day of tomorrow!

Happy Travel Tip Tuesday!
When I start working with a guest, one of the first things I ask is if they are flexible with their dates, or if there are dates that absolutely do not work. Often times it is less expensive to travel midweek, because the busiest days are on the weekends. If you want the most flexibility, add a couple of days to either side of your reservation when you book. That way when you book your flights you can look for the least expensive days. It is always easier to remove days once you have your flights than it is to scramble to try to add them later when the availability could be gone!

Happy Travel Tip Tuesday!

One of the questions that I get asked most often is when is a good time to book your flights. Now I realize it's not always possible to book them so far out, but it can be worth it if you are able to! Sign up for rewards programs with airlines to get notified about seat sales, and start earning points to use towards future trips. Some airlines even have credit cards that you can apply for, so you earn points towards flights on purchases you'd be making anyways.
