Judging by the number of you who have reached out about 2025 travel, we've got planners in this crowd. A lot is happening at Universal Orlando Resort this year and they're making it easier than ever to find the perfect time to visit. We now have dates for the entire 2025 calendar of special events.

The three main events are:
💜💚 Mardi Gras - starting soon on February 1 and running through March 30. Don't forget you can be part of the parade. Ask for details!

🖤 Halloween Horror Nights - Never go alone so make sure you're talking to your friends now about planning your trip. HHN happens on select nights between August 29 and November 2.

💙 Holidays Joy - Experience the Holidays at Universal Orlando resort from November 21 to December 31. If you loved what you saw on my last trip, let's get you booked for yours!

In between you can enjoy Butter Beer Season (March 1 - May 31) or grab a ticket to Volcano Bay Nights on Volcano Bay Nights on April 19, 26, or May 3, 10, & 17.

And don’t forget, Epic Universe opens May 22nd!

I’ve been talking with several clients in the past week about choosing a . If it’s in the budget, I’m always going to suggest the Signature Collection and Loews Portofino Bay, Loews Royal Pacific and the Hard Rock Hotel in particular.

Why? Three words: Universal Express Unlimited. Did you know that you receive access to skip the regular lines at Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure as part of your stay at one of these three hotels? It’s an incredible amenity and a worthwhile investment.

Next time you’re ready for an adventure let’s discuss which of these three hotels is the right one for you!

It’s been a crazy weekend here. My kids are diving into new extracurriculars one of which is in the fine arts category, which makes it worse that I’ve been slacking on reminding you about EPCOT International Festival of the Arts.

This is probably my favorite festival and sadly it has the smallest window to visit. Don’t sleep on this one!

🎨 Disney artists debut up to four new pieces of art inspired by the parks, movies and more. The artwork is for sale in the park and the artist have scheduled signings. They are genuinely lovely people and I’ll link as many as I can in Stories so you can check them out.

🎭 Disney On Broadway artists perform nightly concerts included with your park admission. These incredible talents are in straight from New York to perform selections from shows like Frozen, The Lion King, Mary Poppins, Aladdin, Tarzan and more.

🍮 You know I’m always here for the snacks and it wouldn’t be an EPCOT festival without them. There are new and returning favorites to sample and a colorful challenge.

🖼️ And if that’s not enough you’ve also got interactive art displays, a scavenger hunt, chalk art, performance art and more!

Did you see my photos from tea in Waikiki and think, “sign me up”? Let’s get you there this spring.

It’s an easy drive to Waikiki from Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa which is in beautiful Ko Olina. The Imagineers put such care into the design of Aulani and it is spectacular. There’s lots to do at the resort and plenty to explore elsewhere on Oahu.

Even better, save on stays of 4 nights or more when you travel from April 11 to June 11, 2025.
🌴 Save 25% for stays of 5 consecutive nights more during that window.
🌴 Save 20% for stays of 4 consecutive nights.
🌴 Disney Visa Cardholders also have a special offer.

Let’s chat about getting you there!

It’s National Hot Tea Day and this is even more my day than iced coffee day. Afternoon tea or tea with a scone and jam is my love language.

There a few places I enjoy grabbing tea on vacation:
🫖 The Verandah at - Afternoon tea on Waikiki Beach that incorporates Hawaiian flavors? Yes, please.

🫖 The couples suite at Sense Spa on - You can book a special package that includes tea service to further unwind after your treatments.

🫖 Anywhere in England, literally anywhere - We do have a special spot in our hearts for , both the Covent Garden shop and the tea bus tours.

There’s a wide spectrum of colors for tea, but I like to believe there’s generally a right answer. Swipe to the end to find out.

There’s still time to schedule a last-minute visit to Universal Orlando for Mardi Gras, February 1 - March 30, 2025. Season your Spring Break with the Flavors of Carnaval.

This event has it all:
🎶 A concert series featuring acts like , , , and more!

🍲 International cuisine from beignets and crepes to leberkäse to Szechuan chicken. You won’t leave hungry.

🎉 What Mardi Gras without a parade? Don’t miss this family-friendly celebration and why not get in the heart of the action. Guests can ride on one of the floats.

🐊 You’ll want to check out the event merch too. Still regretting that King Gator didn’t come home with me last year.

What are you waiting for? Laissez les bons temps rouler!

Beach break? Mountain escape? Crossing a particular city/state or country off your must see list? Finally spending time exploring what’s in your own backyard?

I’d love to know if you’ve got any goals for travel in 2025. None yet? That’s okay. Maybe we can set one together.

My big goal for this year was to get the family back to England again. With some help from our friends with planning, we’ve got part of the trip locked down. Still exploring options for part of our time there.

I’m still thinking about what else I’d like to check off this year. Maybe Epic Universe and a Disney Cruise Line ship we haven’t experienced yet? My list of places and people we want to visit never really gets any shorter.

It’s a great time to think about the year ahead. We’ve got new offers from Walt Disney World today. There’s still some availability for that awesome half price for kids offer on Disney Cruise Line. Epic Universe opens in May. Plus there’s a whole wide world to explore!
