I'll Make Your Magic

01/12/2021

Helloooo friends! Hope you're all doing well I'm looking at this photo and just thinking: wow, what I wouldn't do to get rid of all this Canadian snow and jump into some sunny Florida weather!! ☀️🥲 Disney also dropped 2 big updates this week⁠:

✨❗ Disney has announced that they will no longer be offering their Disney's Magical Express transportation service beginning January 1st 2022.⁠
⁠
For those of you who don't know, the Magical Express is a bus service that Disney offers to resort guests. It takes guests from the Orlando airport to their resort for FREE. It's a real shame that they're discontinuing it because a lot of people feel it was part of that Disney magic.⁠ 😞
⁠
In Disney's statement, they make mention of the fact that some guests are looking for "quicker" ways to get to their resorts. This is true, because 1 bus usually stopped at multiple resorts, making your wait a bit long if your resort was last.

They're likely going to switch to a new transportation option sometime in the future (perhaps the new high speed train they're developing 🚅). But we just don't know when that will happen yet.
⁠
✨ Disney also announced that resort guests will soon be able to get into all of the parks 30 minutes earlier than non-resort guests!⁠ 💖
⁠
This isn't quite as good as what it was like pre-pandemic, when resort guests were allowed to enter all parks 60min+ earlier or later than non-resort guests. This perk is "coming soon" so we don't know when it will be available, but I'll keep you updated!⁠ I'm hoping soon 🤞🏼
⁠
✨ As always, if you need help with any of your Disney planning just send me a DM - as a Disney Travel Agent I'm always happy to help as much as I can. 🤗💖

Cheers to a new year 🍻 and cheers to some new Disney deals 👀Let's take a look 👇🏼:

✨ Guests with a 4-night/3-day resort AND ticket package can add 2 free theme park tickets to their package! Essentially, you would be able to add 2 days onto your 3 - making it 5 park days. Keep in mind you'd likely end up adding 2 nights to your resort reservation!⁠

✨ Save 35% on select Disney World resort rooms from January 3rd to April 17th!⁠

✨As an extended bonus, you can now save 30% off select Disney World resort rooms from April 18th to July 10th!⁠

✨ Save up to 30% on select resort rooms at Aulani resort and spa! There are two offers - generally available from January until June 2021!⁠
⁠
Make sure to stick around to hear about new discounts as they drop!⁠ 😍
⁠
Remember that discounts can also be applied to existing packages! Yep, if you've already booked a Disney vacation you can still apply these new discounts!⁠ 👏🏼
⁠
Monitoring discounts and applying them for my eligible clients is one of the many things I do when planning a magical Disney vacation 😊💖
⁠
If you have any questions, or if you want some help planning your vacation, send me a message! I'm just a mouse-click away! 🐭🖱️

Also, for those who don't know, this picture was taken at Fantasmic! An amazing show at Hollywood Studios 🎥🎬 it's currently closed, by I hope it'll open up again when things slow down! Along with many other amazing shows at Disney 💜

Yesterday was National Cookie Day so I decided to make these guys 🥰 as some of you may know I've been practicing my sugar cookie decorating but honestly I just could not fathom gathering the energy to do that yesterday 😂 so I made these chocolate chip cookies instead! Super easy:
✨
1. Use your favorite recipe to create some cookie dough OR if you're in a pinch grab any pre-made cookie dough from the grocery store!
✨
2. Bake accordingly (whatever the recipe calls for) but in this case, place the cookie dough on the baking sheet in a big rectangle or several bigger circles. This is because chocolate chip cookie dough usually spreads, so cookie cutting them beforehand won't give you your desired result.
✨
3. After baking, allow to rest for a few minutes and THEN cookie cut them. Allow to completely cool before removing the outer layer.
✨
This allowed me to make perfect Mickey chocolate chip cookies 🥰 since I can't go to Disney this year I need to bring it home, what are some ways you've been doing that?? Let me know in the comments 👇🏼💖 @ Walt Disney World

✨ Disney Tips/Updates: Starting in 2021, Disney will no longer be offering flights as a part of their packages. Also, Disney is no longer allowing guests to dine at table service restaurants unless you have a reservation. You can no longer hope for a "walk-in" spot at a table service restaurant - you NEED a reservation. So make sure you snag those reservations as soon as your booking window opens! 🙂

✨✨ MAGIC KINGDOM! Boy oh boy. What a park 💜. It's always so busy, but I'll go to it every time because it SCREAMS Disney. You take a step onto Mainstreet and you're just covered in pixie dust. You literally breathe it in - I swear they put it amongst the other scents they pump out lol. Anyway, there are some great tips on how to navigate this park, because it's a bit different than the others! I hope you find these helpful for your Disney planning!⁠ 🤗🥰 Do you have any Magic Kingdom tips you usually share?⁠ @ Ottawa, Ontario

Disney Tip/Secret: Peter Pan has a REALLY long wait time. People don't always list this as a "must-have" Fastpass. But if it's on your family's "must-do" list then I REALLY recommend snagging that Fastpass and avoiding a very long wait time. ✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Happy Disney+ day everyone! 💖 Have any of you had the chance to watch anything yet?? That's the first thing I'll do when I'm done work 👀
I'm pretty sure Disney has been experiencing some glitches with the streaming service, which can be expected on the first day. I'm sure they'll get it fixed soon! There's so many good things on there ✨

I can't believe that it took me so long to watch Fantasmic! Such a great show. The atmosphere that hits that place is unbelievable - highly recommend! However, the dining/deserts package you can sometimes buy with this is (IMO) not completely worth the money. Grab your own snacks, get there early, and enjoy! *Warning ⚠️you may get some sprinkles of water in that front row 😉

Okay THIS guy right here is an absolute favorite of mine. Sunshine Tree Terrace in Adventureland at Magic Kingdom has two amazing ice cream combinations: the Orange Cream Swirl and the Citrus Swirl. Both combine vanilla ice cream with and a frozen orange flavour - the difference? The CITRUS' orange flavour is very strong (it's honestly tasted like frozen orange juice) but the CREAM'S orange flavour (in this picture) is much more creamy and not as strong. I personally prefer and adore the Cream version because it taste like an orange creamsicle (ice cream popsicle) 🤤🤤 guys it's so good! I get it everytime I'm in MK. The Donald addition was a bonus 😉
