Anyone else get giddy when they see Christmas pop up everywhere like me? Here's a Disney holiday merch sneak peek!!!
Some of this merch is already on sale in the parks and on ShopDisney, but some is exclusive to Epcot and Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party! Lots of fun & festive merch is available this season!
What's your favorite thing about Christmas? Tell me in the comments!
Should you splurge on the new MagicBand+ or save a few bucks with the older MagicBand 2?
It's really exciting for our girls to see their MagicBands+ lighting up during fireworks and interacting with statues and other in park experiences, but if you're looking to save where you can (aren't we all trying to do this every day?), I definitely recommend using MagicBands from a previous trip or purchasing the MagicBand 2 (it's significantly cheaper than MagicBand+).
MagicBand+ will come in so many fun colors and designs that will be enticing, and MagicBand 2 comes in a wide variety of solid colors. I am still using my aqua colored MagicBand from 2019 for all of our park visits, and it works just fine!
If you choose the MagicBand+ options, make sure to charge your bands often on your trip! And when you factor in everyone's cell phones and tablets that need charging nightly, you may have few outlets and charging ports for all the devices depending on where you are staying.
Pro Tip: Guests staying at a Walt Disney World Resort receive exclusive pricing on new MagicBand+ and MagicBand 2 options! It's a great way to save money if you decide to purchase bands.
So what's your preference? MagicBand+ or MagicBand 2?

We started our day off at Universal Hollywood by meeting our friends, Mario & Luigi, at Super Nintendo World before riding Mario Kart: Bowser's Challenge! The ride was really cute and fun. Getting Early Access to Super Nintendo World is definitely the way to go. We even snagged reservations at Toadstool Cafe!

How fun are these Incredi-Games at Hero Zone on Deck 12 of the brand new, Disney Wish? Watch to see who the winner is...this round. Our girls did this for about 45 minutes!
Hero Zone sets up Incredi-Games at certain times during your cruise. When these fun inflatables aren't there, you can enjoy indoor basketball (yay, for air conditioning), ping pong, and foosball. There are mutiple tables of these games to allow more guests to join in on the fun.
Who would win in your family if you raced in the Incredi-Games? Yes, grown ups can participate, too. Just make sure no one forgets to wear socks which are required.

Happy Birthday to Dr. Seuss!
We have been doing some fun activities #drseuss themed in our homeschool learning this week, and I can't help but remember back to when we met some of these iconic characters at #universalorlando in Islands of Adventure! So fun to look back on these memories from several years ago to see how our girls have grown.

Can you see yourself relaxing here with that special someone? This private butler villa with jacuzzi hot tub and private plunge pool is nothing short of a perfect way to escape the every day stresses and just relax together. You can find this luxurious room at Sandals Grande Antigua! And did you hear the butler part? Butler level rooms are my favorite way to vacation! It's so nice to be pampered!

Space 220 is one of the most popular dining reservations to snag right now at Walt Disney World. You book reservations for the restaurant and now, even for the Space 220 Lounge. Did you know that you can order off the full menu even if you make reservations for the lounge? I learned that last month on my trip! While I was there just for a drink (this drink is available with or without alcohol), I do plan to go back to order food. The ambience including the adventure to get up to the restaurant and back down to earth make it worth going back!
*Stay tuned for my YouTube video reviewing and sharing my experiences coming soon!*
Have you been to Space 220 yet or have it booked for your next Walt Disney World trip?

Our family absolutely loves Disneyland! In 2019, we were staying at the Disneyland Hotel and walking around exploring. Lucy tracked down Minnie Mouse who had come outside of the character meal looking for Chip and Dale who were visiting with us.

In honor of Mother's Day weekend, I had the privilege of taking my mom with me on a work trip to Beaches Negril back in November. It was a wonderful time of making memories that were once in a lifetime!
But not just that. 2020 was a tough year. Mom had another hip surgery in early March, then Covid hit which limited us being able to see her and was a brutal hit to our business, and being separated from my grandma who we learned was quickly going downhill in July. My grandma eventually passed away in early August, and it was a relief knowing she was no longer in pain; however, she was at the heart of our family which made us miss her so much. We were thankful for the moments we were able to see her together that final week. The next few months were tough for all of us, and grief is real.
After our trip, Mom said how wonderful the trip was for her to not only get to spend time with me but also to get some clarity. She came back with a lifted spirit and a clear mind. Traveling and seeing the world really was so good for our souls.
If 2020 taught us anything, it reminded us that life is short, and moments together are precious. Take the time to take that family trip. Even if you can't take that getaway this year, you can go ahead and book for 2022-23. I promise it will be precious memories you will both cherish forever.
Happy Mother's Day to all the ladies and of course, to my mom! ❤
