🕷️🎬✨There’s been confirmation from our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man that a fourth Spider-Man film starring Tom Holland will be coming to theaters.
Spider-Man fans are seemingly going to have to wait until July 2026 to get their Spidey fix, unless you head to Universal Orlando! 🎢 🕸️The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man is a classic attraction over there but is still so much fun.
All the tongue & cheek humor and thrills you’d expect from a Spider-Man attraction and in a family friendly super hero package. (The ride queue will be a hit for fans of the classic comics.) ❤️🕷️💙
When was the last time you helped Spider-Man rescue New York City from an army of villains?

🎄🧳 Let’s talk holiday travel! Many of our pals hang close to home and rock the family holiday circuit.
For others, traveling over the holidays is a favorite tradition. 🚗 ✈️ Who will be hitting the road or the friendly skies this holiday season? Where are you headed? Most importantly, does Santa make a pit stop to your vacation destination?🎅🏨✨

🏖️✨🏰Talk about a vacation within your vacation, Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is your own slice of Tahitian paradise just minutes away from the most magical place on earth. 🌺🌴
The Poly isn’t for guests who just want to “rest their heads” at a Disney Resort. This resort is meant to be EXPERIENCED. Whether it’s taking a dip in the volcano pool, having a cocktail at Trader Sam’s, strolling the gift shops or hugging on Stitch at an ‘Ohana breakfast, you are going to need at least one resort day.
Is the Polynesian on your resort bucket list? What would you want to enjoy first?✨🏝️

🌍🎉 Especially during Festival time, it is super easy to get swept away by the delicious kiosks, snack your way around the world and miss the many amazing nooks and crannies around World Showcase.
The Morocco Pavilion is one to never skip. Dining is top notch with an unbeatable view, the shop has incredible, authentic gifts and the 🍹✨ Oasis Sweets and Sips is truly a welcome oasis on any given park day. 🏝️
(Rest, sip some sangria-your second wind is inevitable.) Pro tip-when traveling with kiddos, get them engaged and excited about finding all of the KidCot stations around World Showcase.
They’ll love the thrill of the hunt and you will finally be able to kick back and really enjoy great spots like Morocco! 🕌🌞

🎨✨💗We can’t believe EPCOT’s International Festival of the Arts isn’t more popular and doesn’t get more love, it is INCREDIBLE! For starters, can we talk about how nice this BURST of color is right in the middle of the dark, dreary days of Winter? Aside from that, who doesn’t love
🍴🌍 snacking their way around World Showcase.
🎭🎶 listening to favorite Broadway tunes.
Watching 🖌️✨ LIVE artists do their thing everywhere you turn.
You don’t have to be a Picasso or even hold a pencil right to fall in love with this lovely Festival. Is this on your Disney to-do list?📝🏰

🐴🎉 It’s National Horse Day! You won’t get to meet Maximus, Philippe or Bullseye but you can met Lily, Bonanza or Cheeto at Tri-Circle-D Ranch at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground. 🛷🐴
They offer sweet carriage rides and horseback riding between the hours of 10am-5pm and reservations are strongly recommended.
Have you ever thought of bringing your love of horses on your Disney vacation and visiting this hidden gem? 🌳🏕️

⏱️🧑🍳 It has been reported that it takes over 500 hours of baking and 480 hours of assembly time to make the gingerbread house at Disney’s Grand Floridian each year. 😲
There are over 10,000 pieces of gingerbread and 700 pounds of chocolate. 🍫 (What I wouldn’t give to be the Chief Taste Tester!😋) Granted, at home we don’t have that kind of time or kitchen space, so what do you do? 🍪✨ 🛠️
Are you a family that loves finding a cute gingerbread house kit and constructing as close to the box as possible? Or, do you and your elves like to go rogue and make it all your own?

No, we aren't here to chat about this lion's sick faux hawk today, but we definitely need to address it at some point! 😍🦁
Let's chat about Tanzania vs. South Africa: The differences
Both Tanzania and South Africa offer unforgettable safari experiences, but they cater to different styles of adventure for your families.
Tanzania: Known for its raw, untamed wilderness, Tanzania is home to iconic destinations like the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. It’s the heart of the Great Migration, where millions of wildebeest and zebras cross vast plains. Most safaris here focus on game drives, with accommodations ranging from luxury lodges to mobile tented camps for a true wilderness vibe. Photos like this one are plentiful as your guides will make changes daily to your drives based on your preferences. We asked for male lions, they worked to track them.
South Africa: Safaris here are more accessible and often luxurious, with many private game reserves offering intimate wildlife encounters. Most families will visit the famed Kruger National Park as a highlight, with a dense concentration of wildlife and excellent infrastructure. South Africa also offers diverse activities like walking safaris, family-friendly options, and malaria-free reserves. These experiences are more structured and better suited if you are looking for more variety, and will probably come with a higher price tag
Key Difference: Tanzania showcases a wild, immersive experience ideal for authentic adventurers, while South Africa blends thrilling safaris with comfort and variety, perfect for first-timers who need to take it all in with breaks

🌴 Can We Talk About Why We Love Planning Playa Mujeres for Family Vacations?🌴
When we plan family getaways we want a destination that offers something special for all of you—and Playa Mujeres delivers. Here’s why we think it’s worth every penny:
1️⃣ The Beaches Are Unbelievable
The beaches here are perfect for families—soft, white sand and calm, shallow turquoise waters.Families can spend hours watching the kids play while we relaxed, knowing it was safe and peaceful. It’s the kind of beach you dream about!
2️⃣ Resorts That Truly Cater to Families
The all-inclusive resorts in Playa Mujeres blow us away. Not only do they have amazing food and drinks (it IS Mexico), but the kids’ clubs and family activities keep everyone occupied. Some resorts also offer golf privileges for mum and dad or teens to enjoy.
3️⃣ Memories They Never Forget
From building sandcastles to snorkeling together in crystal-clear water, every day is full of fun. You can even take a short trip to Isla Mujeres for an unforgettable boat ride. It's the perfect blend of relaxation and excitement.
✨ For us, it’s not just a vacation—it’s where memories are made.
We just can’t recommend it enough. It’s worth it, and your family will thank you for splurging for that extra if it fits the budget. This is the Mexico your family dreams about.
📩 Of course you can email us if you want help planning—it’s what we love to do!

🎄🎁 What about the idea of a mystery Christmas stocking?
On your next Disney trip, pick up some mystery items like pins or Munchlings. They are blind boxes, so it will be a surprise for everyone. 🎉📦 Or if the idea of a total mystery isn’t what you’re looking for, you can collect items you know they will like while at the parks or resorts.
Items like pins, stuffies, socks, magnets, keychains, pens, and more! Could be the perfect way to kick off 🎄 Christmas or end Christmas (depending on when you tear into those stockings)!
Does the idea of a mystery stocking sound like something that your elves would enjoy? 🎅

(And that is all BEFORE Epic Universe opens its portals in May!) There is something for everyone! We know many of you are not as familiar with Universal and may have some questions. Let’s get those out! What have you been wanting to know about Universal but were afraid to ask? 🤔❓

✨🚀💡Walt Disney managed to beautifully couple the sweet nostalgia of more pure, family oriented times while inviting in the excitement and energy of future progress when he planned out his Disney Parks.
Never one to sit still or stay hunkered in the past, Walt was an innovator. Which newer attraction do you think Walt is looking down on and thinking, “Nice work Pal.” 👏🏰

✨ Big News for Air Canada Flyers ✨
Hey friends! As travel agents and fellow wanderers who love helping families create magical vacations, we wanted to share a change that might affect your next trip: Air Canada is now charging extra for carry-ons if you're booking a Basic Economy fare.
**Reminder that Air Canada VACATION all inclusive clients are typically not booked on a Basic Economy flights. This will impact cruising clients, tours and some non all inclusive vacations packages
Honestly? We get it. We've boarded flights where oversized, overweight bags take up multiple spots in the overhead bins. It's frustrating for everyone, especially when others are left scrambling for space for essentials like medications, baby formula, or medical devices.
That said, we understand why many of you avoid checking bags—especially with the challenges some airports (looking at you, Pearson!) have had with processing checked luggage.
In a perfect world, airlines would enforce stricter carry-on weight and size limits, like so many countries already do. But it seems Air Canada has taken a hard line approach with this flat fee for Basic fares.
While the change isn’t ideal for everyone, it’s here, and we’re here to help you adjust! As team checked-bag enthusiasts ourselves, we’ve got plenty of advice to make your travel smoother:
🧳 How to insure your bags
📍 Tips for bag trackers
🎒 Personal-item must-packs
✅ What to ask for at the check-in desk
Check out the specifics below, and let us know if you have any questions—we’re here to help you navigate these changes with ease and keep your travel stress-free! [email protected]

I was so worried about food before I left for Tanzania. I knew that I enjoyed many African dishes, but would there be enough foods that would sustain a fairly athletic adventure?
Oh my gosh was it ever. I feel better than I have in years eating these fresh and gourmet options that were not only mouth watering my amazing, but super nutritious.
What do you think? Could you see your family enjoying fresh options like these? #familytravelagent #africatravelagent #africanamazing #tanzaniasafari #tanzaniadestination
Gosh Ethiopian Airlines had amazing food options while travelling in Economy, but as we travel home in first class for a little more rest and relaxation we are blown away by the variety and sheer amount of fresh food.
What do you think you would choose?

Family is everything.
Welcome to Travelling with the Finocchis at Pure Magic Vacations!
Our journey with Pure Magic Vacations started years ago. At the time we were helping families in our lives reconnect and build unique Disney vacations for their own families as a favour. We've both travelled to many places (and often!), around the world, so our friends and family would reach out to us for help with their trips. More than that, we love looking beyond how WE preferred to travel and learn all about how other families see the world!
We have always preferred to use a travel agent when we travelled. When we approached Pure Magic to help us with our own vacation, after rave reviews from good friends, we connected with the owner and the rest is pure magic history!
We hope to help your family connect together through the love of a good day at the beach, watching sunsets together while cruising on the high seas, and/or of course, while experiencing the adventure of a lifetime at a Disney destination, or Universal theme park! Family is our life’s main priority. So when you work with us, we’ll always have that in the back of our mind. What does your child like to eat? Do they have food allergies? Are they shy, but wanting to make friends on vacation? Do mum and dad need privacy, or a balcony to sit on while their child naps? What about grandma and grandpa who have dreamed of re-visiting those moments that they had with their kids again with their beloved grandchildren?
Shared experiences, moments, and memories are the focus when you “travel” with us!
For Disney vacations, we'll manage the process for you. Help with dining reservations, and fast pass options. We’ll also put you at ease, and remind you that planning your vacation with Disney, on your favourite ship, or your favourite island, doesn’t have to be stressful or anxious. We’ve already done the research. We’ve done the work. We’ll help guide you to where you want to be in each and every experience you plan with us.
We'll use our thorough knowledge to help pick the resort that is just right for each family member, and focus on resorts that we know will offer experiences for your family that work with your current lifestyle whenever we can.
Oh, and did we mention? We don't charge fees for these unique services. Nope. That's not how we roll.
Smiles, great stories about your experiences, and a shared love of family is what we hope to bring to your vacation memories. It's time to look at a family vacation with new eyes. That a family vacation should be as unique as your own family. That’s how we hope that we can help!
We can't wait for your family to "travel" with ours. When you come back, we hope that you can share how unique your experience was and see the same places through new eyes.
