😱 “Wait, I thought YOU grabbed that!?” Have you ever checked out of your room, left an attraction or restaurant only to realize that you left something behind? If you haven’t, good for you! But many of us probably have! Here are some things to know about Disney’s lost and found:

📦 All items go to a central facility and they get turned in quickly! Chances are your item isn’t where you left it for very long.

📋 Submit a form right away via the My Disney Experience app. (Just search for Lost and Found within the app) Within 48 hours you’ll get an update.

🚚 Don’t lose hope if at first you get a notice it hasn’t been found. They will keep looking and if your item is under 70 pounds and smaller than 15x15x15 inches, they will ship it to you!

We've personally lost newly purchased merch (still in the bag!), a credit card and a treasured pair of Ears in the past 2 years and ALL of them have been returned to us within 24 hours! There is nothing like that MAGIC feeling of walking out of Lost & Found with your item! Check out how happy Breck was when they found her Simba Ears in August!

✨🪄 Pixie dust happens all the time, so don’t feel like your items are lost forever if you leave something behind! Do you have any stories of lost or forgotten items making their way home to you? 📦 💌

🎁 ✨ Need stocking stuffer ideas for someone going on a Disney or Universal trip soon? OOOH, here’s an idea— maybe the stocking is the big “we’re going on a vacation” reveal gift? That might be fun! Here are some must have items that will come in real handy on a theme park vacation:

🧊 Cooling towels if going in the warmer months

🌬️ Personal fan

💳 Disney or Universal gift card

🧼 Personal size hand sanitizer

🪥Travel size toiletries

These little gifts make vacation easier and more fun!

✨ 🏰 Disney guests can be pretty magical too! On Giving Tuesday, let’s celebrate the stories of kindness guests share with each other and Cast Members 😊 💖—like gifting extra dining or snack credits, leaving a Cast Compliment, offering a gift locker or even letting little ones stand in front of you during the parade. These small gestures make a big impact on fellow travelers, creating those special “Disney moments” that become core memories.

🤔 What about you? Have you ever “paid it forward” on a Disney trip or received an unexpected act of kindness? 👐 Share your story below ⬇️, we could all use some “feel good” social scrolling today!

🤔 ✨ Hesitant to pull your kids out of school to visit Walt Disney World during an off season? There are lots of ways to make your Disney vacation educational! 🎓🏰 Here’s just a few:

🌎 World Showcase: Cast Members are cultural representatives from each country and LOVE to chat with guests about their homes. Kidcot packets have some tasks to complete while touring each pavilion to make it fun.

🍽️ Sometimes on vacation, you or someone in your travel crew may want to lean on somewhere familiar to dine. While many folks like to try new spots, some people really just like the tastes of home. Universal CityWalk sees that and has brought some of your trusted and tried chains to their dining line-up. 🍔 The best part is they are all so close and convenient, you can try somewhere new and different while your lunch partner leans in on that Whopper. Then you can meet up and eat al fresco together! 🌞

How likely are you to stick with somewhere you are comfortable with when dining on vacation?

If vacation means indulging in sinfully delish fast food 🍟, have you ever thought about a Disney Cruise? Absolutely, Disney Cruise Line is all about value, relaxation, and fun, but it’s also about the FOOOOOD 🌮—and most of it is included in the cruise fare. Feel like some pizza at 11? No problem 🍕. Got a hankering for a burger to hold you over until dinner? It’s yours 🍔. Don’t feel like sitting in a dining room? Grab a quick bite and eat on the deck 🌊. And it’s not just burgers and fries either! Each ship has its own unique offerings (BBQ, salads, wraps) 🌯, but the variety is there across the fleet. Splurge until your heart’s and belly’s content without a surprise credit card bill when you get home! ✨

So if you’ve been to the parks and are starting to plan a vacation for next year, take a look at a Disney cruise. I’m happy to help you sort through the details 🛳️. For now, what “fast food” item do you rarely say NO to? 🍔🌭

If you’re heading to Disney’s Animal Kingdom thinking it’s just a quick stop for Pandora or Expedition Everest, let me stop you right there. The real magic is the unexpected entertainment that’ll make you fall in love with this park before you even realize it’s happening 🌿✨. From Winged Encounters where macaws soar above you 🦜, to the mesmerizing DiVine, a living, breathing vine 🌿—these are just a couple of the surprises that make Animal Kingdom unforgettable. The thrilling attractions are a bonus for sure 🎢!

These are the moments—the unplanned magic—that make Animal Kingdom more than just a park. It’s a place that makes you slow down, look around, and really appreciate nature and the storytelling that only Disney can do. Have a favorite memory at Animal Kingdom? We want to hear it! 🌿✨
