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.
The Seas with Nemo and Friends: Finding Dory's Friends scavenger hunt is a fun activity the whole family will enjoy.
You'll learn all about the creatures living here and the environment that they call home.
The Hall of Presidents and The American Adventure:
American history literally comes to life at both of these attractions. Encourage your kiddos to be on the lookout for their favorite presidents or recap important moments, you'll just might find they absorbed more than you realized! And you'll appreciate the air conditioning!

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.

How many days until your next vacation? Counting down to the holidays is exciting (woohoo Advent Calendar season), but counting down to a break from adulting is waaaay better!

👀 Whether you're taking in the sights on the Kilimanjaro Safaris or booking one of the exclusive behind-the-scenes tours, Animal Kingdom offers a chance to experience elephants and rhinos in the wild!
🎟️ The Kilimanjaro Safaris is included with your theme park admission to Animal Kingdom which is great, but you're not guaranteed to see any animals.
🐘 If your elephant or rhino loving heart is set on seeing them, consider booking a tour.
The Caring for Giants tour offers an up-close encounter with the elephants, where you'll learn all about cheir care and conservation from the experts who know them best.
🦏 And for rhino lovers, the Up Close with Rhinos tour is a must-do, offering a rare chance to see a side of these gentle giants most won't ever get the chance to.
🥰 Both are reasonably priced, won't eat up too much time and will deepen your appreciation for these animals and their conservation care teams.

🐻 Phew, that was a close call! The Country Bears are back and better than ever! Big Al, Henry and the rest of the gang just recently got a makeover and are bringing the house down once again with a brand new set list that almost everyone can sing along to.
🪕 If you're a big fan of the original Jamboree, don't worry, the heart of the show, its charm and humor are all still very much there. The newer tunes help to keep these sweet bears relevant for today's audiences.

Disney magic isn't just something you see, it's something you experience. A PRIME example of that is Space 220 in EPCOT, where Disney Imagineers have taken dining to a whole new level-literally! Your dining journey begins with an incredible simulated space elevator ride that'll leave you wide-eyed, no matter your age. It's a one-of-a-kind experience that feels so real, you might forget for a second that you're still on Earth!
Whether you choose to dine in the lounge or the main restaurant, the immersion is the same. It's really so captivating, with the panoramic and ever-changing views of outer space and cameos by astronauts (and even a dog), everyone will have fun looking to see who pops up next! While the lounge and main menus offer some really tasty options (try the cauliflower and a fun drink at least!), the ambiance is the real STAR!

If you've ever dreamed of going behind the scenes at the happiest place on earth, then it's time to take your Disney love to the next level with Adventures by Disney!

In fact, the Southern California Escape is a shorter but oh-so-sweet itinerary that gives you exclusive access to the Disney magic you know and love, plus some insider experiences that'll make you swoon!

Céntrico, in the heart of Disneyland's Downtown Disney, might be known for its flavorful Mexican dishes, but PLOT TWIST, their burger is an absolute must-try. Yep, I said it, order a burger at a Mexican restaurant. Don't get me wrong, their entire menu is full of irresistible, fresh and flavorful dishes (and margaritas), but let's be honest, sometimes only a burger can hit the spot and this one does! Wagyu beef, gruyere cheese, pickled beets, tomato, truffle aioli and black truffle sauce on a brioche bun...chef's kiss!

The 80s was an era of timeless blockbusters, unforgettable characters, and classic movie magic that defined a generation. Now, imagine reliving those memories today...and even with your own kids!

So let's say the WHOLE FAMILY wants to book a trip. It can be brutal trying to find a destination or style of trip that pleases everyone. Theme parks might be too much for grandparents and the beach isn't everyone's idea of fun, but you know what's a crowd pleaser for every age? Disney Cruise Line! Here's why your whole family will love it:
• There's something for everyone. Family pools, kids clubs, adult-only dining and spaces, family-friendly nighttime shows, crafts, movies, character meet and greets - EVERYONE will have their share of fun onboard!
• It feels all-inclusive. You could walk aboard with your room, food, gratuities, and excursions paid for. (Alcoholic and specialty drinks are an additional charge).
• You don't have to constantly repack, yet you will wake up in a new port daily. It's an amazing way to see a lot but have all the traveling done for you while you sleep!

Hold onto your hats (and steering wheels), folks! Mr. Toad's Wild Ride at Disneyland is still as wacky and wild as ever! This quirky fan favorite has been taking us on a bizarre journey through Toad Hall (and beyond) for decades now. The story is a little odd, OK a lot odd, but that's part of its charm, right?
With all the newer high-tech rides now, maybe this feisty old-school character keeps us grounded in nostalgia and reminds us that attractions like this were once innovative and we were in awe of them. Or is it time to make way for something new in Fantasyland?

Summer book reading challenges may be over, kids, but the reading never ends at All the Books You Can Read in Seuss Landing at Universal's Islands of Adventure. In fact, several times a day, stories come to life during lively performances of
"Oh! The Stories You'll Hear" right outside the store. The Cat in the Hat, the Grinch and more step right out of the pages of these Dr. Seuss classics! No lines, just pure theme park magic!

The EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival is now in full swing so let's chat a little about those food kiosk offerings.
Not everyone is a foodie and some of those menu items can sound a little scary. For the less adventurous, here's a list of more simple small plates I think you'll enjoy:
Canada: Cheddar Cheese Soup
Macatizers: Classic Mac and Cheese
Fry Basket: Fry Flight and Fried Pickle Spears
Belgium: Beer-Braised Beef and Smoked Gouda Mashed Potatoes
Greece: Spanikopita (Spinach and Cheese in a flaky pastry)

09/04/2024

If you've ever dreamed of braving the wilds of the jungle but know deep down you're more of a theme park snacker than a survivalist, the Wild Africa Trek tour at Disney's Animal Kingdom is probably for you.
On this totally safe and exhilarating tour, you can channel your inner explorer without, you know, actually having to go to Africa. Swing over crocodile-filled rivers (safely harnessed, of course), get up close and personal with some amazing wildlife, enjoy snacks on the savanna and your very own guide/personal photographer. It's 3 hours you will never forget!

Hurricanes, tropical storms, and tropical depressions, OH MY!
Cruising during hurricane season will give you the lowest prices, but there's a reason for that. If this is the best time of year for you and your crew, here are a few helpful tips:
• Hurricane season officially goes from June through
November. If you are considering August, September, and October, just know you are likely looking at the highest possibility of weather issues. Sailings out of Florida to the Caribbean will be the sailings most impacted.
• Get travel protection! Just do it - no matter when you sail
• Book flights early in the day for less chance of cancellations or delays. Also arrive at least one day before embarkation day, just in case flights get canceled. You may find you have to hop in a car and hit the road!
• Go with the flow! Cruise lines reallilly don't want to cancel sailings, so they will do all they can to avoid that including changing itineraries to avoid weather issues.
