Where are all my Halloween lovers at?? Ever been to Universal Orlando’s Halloween Horror Nights? This years Last of Us house and FEDRA foods were out of this world! Such an amazing experience, but definitely prepare to be scared if you do plan on attending! Even the Wizarding World area was terrifying with death eaters lurking everywhere! Never been, but absolutely want to check it out? Reach out, I can book Universal vacations too (plus share all my tips and tricks for making the most of your epic adventure!) [email protected]

The final course at Monsieur Paul in the France pavilion at Epcot is dessert. And this dessert is the mother of all desserts! The sphere de chocolat au lait features a a milk chocolate sphere filled with chocolate almond cake, hazelnut biscuit, and chocolate ice cream. Warm chocolate cognac sauce is drizzled over the outter shell to reveal the beautiful inside. Absolutely stunning!! And devine! For a final a final treat, we were served macarons with a glass of wine with the bill! Monsieur Paul did not disappoint! If you are thinking of booking a dining reservation here, keep these few things in mind: 1. This is a dining experience. It is pricey at $195 per person. That does not include tax or gratuity. 2. Children under 10 are not allowed. It is more of an adult experience. 3. There is a dress code. You can’t wear your park t-shirts or flip-flops! 4. It is a perfect anniversary, romantic spot but you can do it alone and feel just as comfortable as the staff is top notch. If you’re ready to book that dream Disney get away, don’t hesitate to reach out and let me get to work for you! I’ve stayed at all levels of resorts, eaten at a vast majority of dining locations (both quick serve and table service), and pride myself with my extensive knowledge of all things Disney! I will make sure you get a vacation suited perfectly for you! [email protected]

Our Monsieur Paul’s dining adventure is here! This is a multi-course meal with 3 signature drinks! First course (pic 1) is amuse-bouche with monsieur Paul’s cocktail. Second course is served with delicious Parmesan bread (pic 2), and then the star appetizer, lobster salad with passion fruit vinaigrette (3rd pic). Next course is fish! Snapper with potato scales (that are hand laid to mimic real scales) filled with a gorgeous carrot/celery root based filling (pics 4 & 5). Next up was the Trou Normand (palette cleanser) of pear liqueur with pear sorbet (pics 6 & 7). Meat course was next, center cut beef tenderloin with mashed potatoes mousseline ( pics 8 & 9). Savory courses end with the cheese course, a beautiful plate of imported cheeses (pic 10)! Champagne is served through the meal, and compliments everything absolutely perfectly. Everything was delicious and decadent! Such an amazing experience that ends with what is possibly the most gorgeous dessert experience ever! Stay tuned for that in the next post!

Happy Memorial Day!

I get asked A LOT about what are some fun non-park things to do when visiting Disney World in Orlando. My # 1 answer for adults is always to resort hop, but my close #2 response is Disney Springs. But Disney Springs during Happy Hour, where you can enjoy inexpensive food and drinks while you shop, walk, and people watch!! I think most tourists forget Disney Springs is also a venue for locals as well, so why wouldn’t they have happy hour specials to draw in some regulars? And no, the drinks aren’t watered down and the food quality is still excellent. We love STK’s happy hour specials for the small plate/appetizers (we usually get a couple different to try and at the cheaper prices it def won’t break the bank), and at Paradiso 37 they have $8 margaritas during happy hour! Like who doesn’t love $8 margaritas? Especially at Disney where a typical drink is gonna run you $15-$20 at regular price! Citi works offers $2 off drafts, wine, hard seltzers, and the backyard flight. They also have half price bar bites! Raglan Road happy hour has $5 domestic beers, and the list goes on! So yeah, you’ve heard of the monorail crawl, how about the Springs Happy Hour Crawl 🥂🍻! Just jump on Disney Transportation from your resort, either bus or boat, and enjoy!! Never been, but ready to give it a try? Reach out and let me get your next vacation booked! I do all the work and share all my insider tips and tricks so all you have to do is show and enjoy! Disney not your thing, that’s ok too! I can plan pretty much whatever your heart desires! Cruises and all-inclusives too! [email protected]

Home Sweet Home ❤️😂 when’s your next trip? 104 days here (ugh that just seems so far away!)! Don’t have one planned? Reach out and let’s change that ASAP! Never too late to book for this summer and never to early to start planning for next year! 2024 reservations open May 31st!! [email protected]

05/18/2023

Anyone surprised by today’s news? As cool as Galactic Starcruiser is, it’s such a niche experience that can be pretty pricey! Disney has paused reservations until May 26th, but if it’s something that’s on your must do list before it goes away forever, I can try to get you booked for one final voyage! Reach out asap so when reservations open back up I can see what’s all available! [email protected]

Newly released from Disney Parks!

❤️ The Disney Dining Plan is returning for trips starting January 9th, 2024. You can book the regular Disney Dining Plan or the Quick-Service Dining Plan. Bookings open May 31st for dates in 2024. Annual Passholders WILL be able to make room-only bookings and add the dining plan to that without having to book extra tickets. DVC members will also be able to add the dining plan onto a DVC booking.

❤️❤️ Disney World will NO LONGER REQUIRE PARK PASSES for guests using date-based tickets starting January 9th, 2024. (This excludes cast members, Annual Passholders, and those using non-dated tickets like student groups, convention groups, some promotional tickets, etc., who will still need to book park passes.)

❤️❤️❤️Disney World will introduce "Good-to-Go Days" when Annual Passholders and Cast Members will not need to book park passes (in addition to the current benefit where APs don't need to book park passes for visits after 2PM on weekdays)

❤️❤️❤️❤️Extended Evening Hours and Early Theme Park Entry hotel guest benefits will be extended through 2024.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️WDW is currently working on ways to make Genie+ available for planning BEFORE your trip (not just on the day you're actually going).

Currently these changes are for Disney World ONLY.

Happy Cinco De Mayo!! How are you celebrating today?

05/04/2023

Since it is Star Wars Day, I figured it would be the perfect time to share some of the pics I got from an empty Galaxy’s Edge during Disney World’s Hollywood Studios After hours event 2 weeks ago. I cannot recommend these after hours events enough. Especially at Hollywood Studios! Walking through the almost empty streets of Galaxy’s Edge is just surreal. And the rides. The line for Rise of the Resistance was never longer than 20 minutes! The majority of the time it and smugglers run were walk ons! Absolutely worth every penny, especially for a Star Wars fan. You don’t get these views during the busy days lol!! Never been but ready to check it out for yourself? Reach out and I will get you booked asap! Disney World is my specialty and I will even share all my tips and tricks with you to ensure you have the most magical vacation ever! May the 4th be with you!

Tomorrow is May the 4th…aka Star Wars Day! May is also Mental Health Awareness month. With being an advocate for Mental Health, along with being an absolute Disney adult, I was compelled to share this for those who might not know. Carrie Fisher slathered those near and dear in glitter to help brighten her world when it seemed dark. Our Princess Leia, in real life, was bipolar. Those dark days were real for her, and for so many others who struggle with illnesses that can’t always be seen. So in her memory and to honor those around us who may be battling dark days that we might not be aware of, let’s slather ourselves in glitter tomorrow! If nothing else but to help brighten the world a little for those that might need it ❤️ carry a little extra in your pocket to sprinkle around. You never know who might need some sparkle and light!! May the 4th be with you!
