How cool is Islands of Adventure at night?!

Are you brave enough to try The Hulk?! What about Velocicoaster in the background?! That one is the most intense coaster I’ve ever done I think!

So excited for my spring break, summer and fall travelers trying Icon of the Seas for the first time. This ship has everything, even a waterpark at sea!

Want to try it? I’ve been pricing fall dates and it’s less than 5000 for a balcony for a family of 4 many weeks! Need to travel when schools out? Let’s chat and see if we can find a good price for you on this or another great ship!

My absolute favorite meet and greets at Universal are Transformers. I’m not sure if it’s the fact I still love the song from the 80s show or just how cool they look, but I love them all.

What’s your favorite Universal meet and greet?!

Universal Orlando’s newest resort, Stella Nova is now open! This is a great value option for space lovers. How cute are these rooms?!

This is the only snow I want to see the rest of this winter!

Just a reminder that all Walt Disney World resort guests get a free waterpark ticket for check in day this year! I’m planning to take advantage in March for my first visit to Blizzard Beach in years.

Captain Mickey wants to remind you Disney still has half off kids for some sailings through early June for Disney+ subscribers and half off deposits for almost all sailings through May 2026. I know the 7 families I have cruising this week are really happy to be missing the arctic blast at home this week. That could be you next winter!

Not sure what to do in the next few months? It’s actually a perfect time to visit Universal Orlando. Crowds are predicted to be lower than normal before the new park opens and current promotions make the price very reasonable. We can get you in the two original parks or if you can swing at least 3 nights, make sure you get in to the best water park in Orlando, Volcano Bay! And remember Universal’s express option for shorter lines is so easy to use - no pre booking or planning times needed. Let’s chat about options!

About 80% of the itineraries I write are done sitting at a swim practice or meet and today I checked several more off in between events.

So excited for my 26 families and friend groups visiting Disney World, Disneyland, or cruising over the next two weeks!

Watch out world!

These kids will be real driving in just a few years but for now it’s Tomorrowland Speedway to practice their moves! It’s a pretty big deal when you are big enough (54 inches) to drive your own car solo? Got smaller ones? They can ride with you and even drive with you as a passenger once they are 32 inches.

It’s been a busy two weeks with getting final payments in and activities booked for my spring break cruisers! I have 31 rooms sailing Disney or Royal Caribbean the two weeks surrounding Easter this year. While many ships are filling up, there’s still space on some sailings, even with promotions. Want to plan further ahead, pricing is looking good as of now for spring break 2026!

Working on our Hawaii summer adventure plans this morning. Of course we are spending a few days at Aulani, Disney’s gorgeous island resort to end the trip!

Where do you see this scene?

01/15/2025

Space Mountain is always a classic and a good example of how the rides in Disneyland and Walt Disney World aren’t just exact copies of one another. Which do you prefer if you have done both?!

01/14/2025

It’s a toss up on my favorite place at Disney at night between Pandora in Animal Kingdom and Journey of Water in Epcot. What’s the best place for you to enjoy Disney after dark?

01/13/2025

Oh Universal you get me every time!

For those not in the know, Disney’s Dinosaur area of Animal Kingdom started towards it’s extinction today. Making way for the Encanto and Indiana Jones themed areas, most of the area is now closed for construction to begin. And Universal’s social media managers are always on point :)

Night Blossoms are their favorite snack at Aninal Kingdom! Have you had one?!

“Layers of Apple and Desert Pear Limeade topped with Boba Balls” according to the description. My kids love every last sip!
