Did you know that the Disney Cruise Line 2026 itineraries include 2 ships in Alaska? Both the Wonder and the Magic will be there next summer! Alaska is one of my favorite destinations ever and is a perfect place to enjoy the ease of a cruise, magic of Disney, and the natural beauty of our world!

Why should Disneyland be on your list even if you live on the east coast?

🦶 A smaller footprint makes the parks a lot more manageable if the idea of 4 parks and 40 square miles of overwhelming!

🎨 It’s where it all started and you see the original vision and touches everywhere!

🎆 They have fabulous celebrations different from the east coast including a Lunar New Year Celebration, a Pixar celebration, and a food and wine festival that pays homage to California food and drink!

🦸 Marvel is a bigger deal on the west coast and their Guardians and Web Slingers are awesome rides!

🏨 Off site hotels are super close and can get you in to the parks quick without paying on site prices! That being said Grand Californian and Disneyland hotels are two of my very favorites!

🎉 And this year Disneyland even celebrates its 70th birthday!

Want to talk a Disneyland trip?! Let’s chat soon.

I have been getting to much interest in Universal recently. Whether you want to enjoy spring break for a few days, hit a quieter time this spring, or make plans to see Epic Universe, let’s get your trip on the books!

I’ve been working with lots of February families headed to Disney and Universal for soccer tournaments and other events. While these trips can be a little more logistically challenging with figuring out when to do everything around games, they are some of my favorite!

One family picked Epcot to check out the Moana themed area that opened last year. It’s my favorite part of the park now and a must do at night when it’s lit up!

My first MagicBand+!

While my kids have fancier bands, I have been using the same plain one since 2018 (yes, old bands work for the same guest for years!) Since the newer bands can now be used on the Disney cruise ships and in Disneyland, I decided to dive in and get one. The newer bands are cool as they light up during shows, activate statues in the parks, and allow for games.

Don’t want to get a band? That’s fine. You can always use your phone, physical park ticket as a day guest, or key to the world card as a resort guest instead for park entrance, lightning lanes, and more.

Did you know Rise of the Resistance now has a single rider line most days? You do miss some of the pre shows (you enter in this room) but it’s can save you lots of time if you are ok riding solo! We used this twice during Christmas week and were on within 15 minutes both times.

When you book with me we talk through all ride priorities and options to determine your best option to ride your must do attractions!

So very close to my next Disney cruise! This one is super special because my mom is doing her first Disney cruise ever. Can’t wait to show her the magic of sailing with Disney!

If you want to plan a trip for Valentine’s Day, I’ve got you. Better than chocolate or flowers. But if not, how about these awesome cards?!

I showed them to my son and just got “Mom. No. Absolutely not.”

Want to visit Universal? Don’t forget for check ins through April 3rd you can get promotional tickets and up to $1000 towards food and drink during your trips with stays of at least 4 nights. You can even include Volcano Bay, my favorite water park. This is a great option for my families with March spring breaks and there is still some availability for President’s Day week as well.
