Smart Moms Travel with Dawn

07/02/2023

What’s holding you back from doing what makes you happy? You can find happiness in daily moments but there is nothing that brings my family more happiness and more core memories than Disney.

Being able to spend time with my family with no distractions in a place where there is ice cream, fireworks, rides, and characters (Mickey Mouse)! Not only does it bring a smile to my children’s faces, but it is something that I will always remember. It gets me out of the daily grind and makes me feel more connected with my family.

🚨Beginning June 15 🚨

FACE COVERINGS

Face coverings will be optional for fully vaccinated Guests in most areas. Face coverings will still be required of all Guests on Disney transportation, including Disney buses, monorails and Disney Skyliner. While we will not require proof of vaccination, we expect Guests who are not fully vaccinated to continue wearing face coverings in all indoor locations, and upon entering and throughout all attractions and transportation. Guests must observe current policies on face coverings until June 15.

PHYSICAL DISTANCING

We will be relaxing physical distancing guidelines for Guests. This will be visible in places like queues, shops, restaurants, attraction boarding, transportation and our theaters. It’s important to remember that some experiences and entertainment may still be operating with limited capacity or may remain temporarily unavailable. We’re not quite ready to bring back everything yet, but we are optimistic and look forward to the day when Disney pals and princesses are able to hug once again.

CLEANING

We will continue the high standards for cleanliness and sanitation we’ve always set for ourselves. Cleaning supplies and hand sanitizer stations will still be available.

15/05/2021

In line with the guidance issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and today's decision by Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings to lift the outdoor mask requirement, Walt Disney World has modified its face mask policy to state that masks are no longer required outdoors. The new rules go into effect on Saturday, May 15, 2021.

🚨BIG ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨

🚨BIG NEWS🚨

Disney just updated their mask policy!! Starting April 8th, you may remove your mask for outdoor photos!!

Start whetting your appetites, because the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival will begin July 15 at Walt Disney World Resort! 🍽🍷

🗓July is a fabulous time to visit Walt Disney World!! Plus, the park reservation calendar is currently all open! Let’s start planning your summer getaway today! https://bit.ly/ThisIsHowYouDisney

🌎This year’s event will kick off with Global Marketplaces, including the return of many favorites – Canada, Greece, Germany, Hops and Barley, Appleseed Orchard and others. Even more marketplaces will join the international smorgasbord as the festival continues on into the fall before wrapping on Nov. 20, 2021.

There will be lots of ways to enjoy this year’s event (beyond just eating lots of great food, of course):

🧀Sample all sorts of delicious cheeses served in fun ways as part of Emile’s Fromage Montage – if Guests collect a stamp from five different Global Marketplaces, they’ll earn a prize!

🐀Remy’s Ratatouille Hide & Squeak will send Guests on a savory scavenger hunt in search of Remy statuettes hidden all over the park.

🛍Take a tasty souvenir home from the new merchandise collections, including a festival collection featuring a spirit jersey, baseball cap and so much more.

🎸Listen to musical favorites performed by Voices of Liberty, Mariachi Cobre and the Jammin’ Chefs.

One of the most pleasant surprises on our recent trip was how much better I like the lines now! Disney has sticker markers 6 feet apart in all of the line queues. Some sections also have plexiglass dividers, too. I had flashbacks of sweaty people smooshed together in line on past trips, while I enjoyed the air moving and extra space of the current line setup. So much better!!!

We were delighted to find a lot of the posted wait times to be over estimates, too. Almost all the lines we waited in were quicker than posted times and we had several walk-ons!

This is one change I hope sticks around! What other changes have you noticed that you hope are here to stay?

Do you love Memory Maker?! 📸

I have a pro tip to share with you! I got back from my trip and had 0 ride photos!!! 🎢 I was so sad! 😔I decided to call and after a lot of time on the phone, we figured it out! If you are using old MagicBand, it’s possible the battery has stopped working and the Bluetooth/WiFi that connects you to the ride and gathers your photo won’t work!! Our bands worked just fine getting into the parks so we had no idea!!

So, if this happens to you, 📞call 407-560-4300 and have the following info ready: park/attraction, guest on the ride, outfits or identifying accessories, and approximate time you were on the ride. I thankfully had photos waiting in line on most rides which helped a ton! The cast member literally manually looks through the photos! We ended up getting all of them!! And remember, if someone isn’t wearing their mask correctly, they won’t release the photo, even if it is someone not in your party.

I will absolutely be spending the $5 to buy a new MagicBand with my package next time!!

Have you had issues getting ride photos from your trip❓

This sweet fella and I are celebrating 22 years together today! 🥰 We’ve been together since our freshman year of high school. What a journey it has been. I am so happy he loves the magic of Disney ✨ as much as I do, and agrees that we should make trips a part of our yearly family budget. The memories we create will last a lifetime. ❤️🏰

How long have you and your significant other been together? ❤️

P.S. Memory Maker is still worth it!

04/03/2021

I hear it asked all the time, is the magic still there? This is our first family vacation since COVID began and I can tell you without a doubt, it’s still here! The memories made, laughter shared and fun had by the whole family. After a long year, it is exactly what we all needed.

TBT at Minnie’s Holiday Dine at Hollywood and Vine! Who else loves this dining experience?! The dessert area was my favorite!🧁 This is a great one to snag on the dining plan when it returns. Our lunch came with VIP seating to Fantasmic!

I can’t wait to go back with our youngest to see his reactions to the characters!! 🏰🌲

2020 has been quite a year for all of us. While there have certainly been a lot of challenges, one of the highlights of my year is starting a business as a Smart Moms travel agent. I know how important family vacations are and I feel so lucky when a family trusts me to help plan theirs. What are you thankful for this year?

⭐️I have some awesome news!!! ⭐️
I just got set up with Kingdom Strollers and am able to offer you the absolute best in stroller rentals! 🙌🏼 Perfect for your travels to Walt Disney World & more!
✨10% off (use code SMT10Off in the notes section)
✨Free Delivery & Pickup
✨Premium Strollers
✨Safe, Clean & Sanitized
✨Take Wherever You Want
✨Lots of Storage Space
Friends always ask if their kids are too old for a stroller at Disney. Even if your kids don’t typically need a stroller at home, they may need one at Disney! The FL heat is no joke and there is so much walking and exploring! These awesome strollers recline and are perfect for napping 💤 on the go. We like to stay in the park late at night and a comfy stroller is the perfect spot for kids to snooze, and pushing a stroller is WAY easier than carrying your tired children! We use Kingdom Strollers for our trips and love the convenient, high quality, clean strollers. I think a stroller is a key to a successful trip with young children.
