01/21/2024

Reminiscing on my Walt Disney World trip last month! It was such a magical time and I’m so grateful for all of the amazing experiences. Here’s a quick recap of everything we accomplished⬇️

Resort🐊: We stayed at Disney’s Port Orleans Riverside for the very first time, and I absolutely LOVED this moderate resort!! I will definitely be recommending it to my clients who are looking for a tranquil, secluded, and magical feel✨

Hollywood Studios🎥: After checking into Riverside we hopped strait on the bus to spend the evening in Hollywood Studios! By utilizing the 120 minute rule we were able to have several lightning lanes “stacked” for the evening, which meant we rode everything we wanted in just a few hours! We ended the night with the newly updated Fantasmic and I loved it SO much more than the old version. It went from being a skip for me in terms of nighttime entertainment to a must do!

Animal Kingdom🐯: We spent a half day in the best Walt Disney World park (😉) and it was so great to see the STUNNING Christmas decorations and the Merry Menagerie! The Christmas vibes here are top notch in my opinion:)

Magic Kingdom🏰: After Animal Kingdom, it was time for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and TRON!! TRON was such a blast and surprisingly intense from the back row. MVMCP has so much to offer, but a surprise hit for me was the castle stage show! Amazing talent and so much fun!

EPCOT🌎: Finally it was time for a very rainy EPCOT day! We ate at Garden Grill for the first time, experienced the Candlelight Processional, Journey of Water Inspired by Moana, and of course Soarin Over California! Unfortunately we weren’t able to see Luminous due to the rain, but that is at the top of my list for my next trip.

Resort Hopping: Finally, on our check-out day we hopped over to the Grand Floridian to see the amazing life size Gingerbread house. This has been a Disney bucket list item for me for a while so it was amazing to finally see it in person❤️

So many amazing memories were made in just a 3-night stay, and I’m so glad to have gained even MORE first hand knowledge so that I can better serve my clients🤍✨

01/12/2024

We have new updates today on “Disney the Tale of Moana” coming to the Disney Treasure, and I have to say… it looks absolutely amazing!! The show will utilize puppets created by Michael Curry (a co-designer of the puppets used in Disney’s the Lion King on Broadway!), new special effects, a new song created just for this production, and more!! It makes me so happy to see Disney investing so much into the entertainment on their ships💙 Booking for the Disney Treasure is now open, so if you’re even considering a Disney Cruise let me know and we can see if it is right for your family!!

⛵️ Voyagers, embark on a sneak peek of two captivating scenes from “Disney The Tale of Moana,” an all-new stage show debuting exclusively onboard the Disney Treasure in December 2024. Check out the Disney Parks blog for more info: http://di.sn/6008RvNTq
