Can we have an uncomfortable conversation for a minute? Yes? Okay, here goes...

Google doesn't have your back. There. I said it.

When it comes to Disney vacations, Google won't answer the phone when you need help on vacation, plan customized itineraries just for you, or make sure you have the last discounts. But, I will!

My goal is to make your Disney vacation dreams comes true. And it's always the best validation to hear that a client had a magical vacation!

Epcot International Festival of the Arts starts this week!! 🎨

I heard someone call it I-FARTS and I just can't unhear it now. I mean, we are all about our acronyms in the Disney fandom. Plus, apparently the phrase "Artsy Fartsy" means "associated with or showing a pretentious interest in the arts." Who knew? 🤷‍♀️🤣

Well just call me Artsy Fartsy then, because this is one of my favorite festivals of the year! 👩‍🎨 The food is beautifully prepared and there are interactive art exhibits all throughout the park!

January and February are great times to visit Walt Disney World! Typically, crowds and temps are both on the lower side. Have you ever been to the Epcot International Festival of the Arts? 🖼️

Momentum...the strength or force that allows something to grow stronger and faster as time passes.

2021 was a year of progress for me, in my personal life, towards my business goals, and along my fitness journey. In 2022, my goal is to continue that forward progress, that momentum, if you will. It's a reminder to pause if I need to- maybe even slow down- but not stop. Maintain the momentum to become unstoppable!

Do you have a word of the year? If so, I'd love to hear it. I'd love to cheer each other along on throughout our 2022 journeys!

....just a few of my favorite things! How about you? This week between Christmas and New Years is one of my favorite times of the year, too.

A chance to rest, reflect, dream and plan. It's a dreary, rainy day today, and I'm happily cuddled up with a Disney blanket and my favorite cup of coffee making big plans for 2022!

What are you up to this week?

11/21/2021

I've been missing from my feed...again. Best laid plans, you know? I've started to reflect a bit on 2021 as my focus begins to shift to 2022 goals and planning. (Crazy, right?!...I know, I know. It's not even November yet!)⁠

This was my 2021 vision board in my planner. And, I've enjoyed making so much of this vision a reality. My word of the year was Magic Maker. ⁠

Know who I love making magic for? All of YOU! I've received some lovely feedback and surprises from clients this week and it's reminded me how much I love being HERE, in this space, sharing the magic. ⁠

So, I've been busy thinking about the systems I had in place earlier this year that helped me show up here more! Number one on that list was planning content in advance. I have 2 whole days of our Disney World trip that I never shared in stories and a whole week's worth of content to share in my feed! Can't wait to see all of you (and me) around these parts more next month!

Time for a confession. I LOVE the Skyliner. 🚠 Probably even more than the monorail. It's just so convenient and peaceful, not to mention fast!

The monorail resorts are definitely ideal for Magic Kingdom days. No doubt about it! But, if you are planning to spend more days at Hollywood Studios and Epcot than at Magic Kingdom, look no further than one of the Skyliner resorts. Trust me, you won't regret it! ❤️

Do you have a pre-vacation tradition? Here's a sneak peek of how I pass the time on those last few days before our Disney trips...you know, the ones that seem to pass at a snail's pace?

I (somewhat obsessively) plan and make shirts and dresses before every trip. Even when I declare that "I'M NOT MAKING ANY MORE SHIRTS!" I, inevitably, still end up making more shirts just so those last few days go by just a little faster! 12 days until we're back in the magic!

How do you like to spend those last few days before vacation?

08/19/2021

Whew! Is your head spinning from all of today’s breaking news about Disney Genie, Genie+ and the future of FastPass and MaxPass. If you’re a little confused, no worries! Here’s a quick rundown of the exciting changes coming to your next a Walt Disney World and Disneyland vacation. Take a look and leave your questions in the comments. I’ll be back to answer them in a live tomorrow!⁠

What is Disney Genie, Genie+ & Lightning Lanes?⁠
- What we previously called FastPass lanes are now Lightning Lanes⁠

- Disney Genie is a free planning tool coming to Walt Disney World/My Disney Experience and Disneyland apps later this fall.⁠

- Disney Genie+ offers a skip-the-line benefit on select rides for a daily fee. This is very MaxPass-like⁠

- Lastly, select individual attractions NOT included with Disney Genie+ will be offered as a separate, individual purchase.⁠

I’m so confused! How do I know what’s right for me?⁠
- If you want FastPasses, you’ll want to pay for Disney Genie+. You’ll select return times and enter through the new “Lightning Lanes” on select attractions.⁠

- If you want a FastPass-like experience on rides that aren’t included with Disney+, you’ll want to purchase separate Lighting Lane access for those rides.⁠

- Don’t want to pay for anything at all? No problem, you’ll still get the benefits of Disney Genie recommending attractions and return times based on your preferences.⁠

How much will Disney Genie+ Cost?⁠
- Disneyland: $20 per person/day⁠
It will include 20+ attractions, as well as PhotoPass. You’ll book return times daily once you enter the park.⁠

- Disney World: $15 per person/day ⁠
It will include 40+ attractions but does not include PhotoPass. Guests staying at a Disney World Resort Hotel can book their return times at 7a each morning. Day guests staying off property will book once they enter the park.⁠

I hope that helped make some sense of all of the new lingo. What questions do you have? Drop them down below!

Today was their first days of 2nd and 6th grade! Middle school for Harris! How is that possible?!?

Have your kids started school yet this year? I hope all our kiddos have great first days! ❤️

And, back to school means that it's just 56 days until our next Disney trip!

Coming at you with my second favorite tip for choosing your Walt Disney World park days. Head over to stories for my #1 tip!

Did you know that Hollywood Studios is the smallest park at Walt Disney World. But, it also happens to have the two newest and most popular attractions, Rise of the Resistance in Galaxy's Edge and Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway. Because of this, Hollywood Studios park passes are often the first to go!

Here's my tip: When in doubt, choose extra Hollywood Studios days days and grab those park passes now! This is especially true if you have Park Hopper tickets because you could get a Rise of the Resistance boarding group in the morning and then hop over to any other park after 2p.⁠

Do you have any questions about this strategy? Ask me your park pass-related questions in the comments.

⏰ What time did you wake up this morning? My alarm clock went off bright and early this morning so that I could make dining reservations for a client's upcoming Walt Disney World vacation.

Did you know that dining reservations are available at 6am Eastern time, 60 days before your vacation. (Yep, that's 5am Central time! 😱) And, some fan favorites like Cinderella Royal Table and Topolino's character breakfast book up almost immediately!

Don't want to wake at the crack of dawn to make this dining reservations? No worries! When you book your trip with me, I'll book your dining reservations while you sleep! 😴

Start your engines Autopia fans! Is there anything more exciting for a kiddo than the first time they can get behind the wheel? ⁠

Whether it's Autopia at Disneyland or Tomorrowland Speedway at Magic Kingdom, this remains one of my kids favorite rides. ⁠

🎆Last chance to see Happily Ever After? Who's with me? ✈️

Disney announced lots of new entertainment returning to Walt Disney World soon including Monsters, Inc Laugh Floor, Turtle Talk with Crush and Beauty & the Beast Live on Stage.

And, in even bigger news, they confirmed that the last time to see Happily Ever After at Magic Kingdom will be September 29! The new Disney's Enchanted Nighttime Spectacular will undoubtedly be AMAZING, but Happily Ever After is beloved.

So, if you haven't seen it, or want to soak in the magic one last time, now's the time! Message me to get your countdown started!

Coconut Soft Serve on top of Pineapple Juice with Blue Curacao syrup and garnished with a Chocolate Kakamora Cake Pop!

07/16/2021

As far as summer traditions go, my absolute favorite has to be our annual "bye bye summer" Walt Disney World Trip during Labor Day weekend.⁠

In fact, Labor Day weekend is one of my favorite times to visit Disney World. Crowds are low, the Epcot Food & Wine Festival is on, Boo Bash is happening. It's the perfect way to celebrate the end of summer and the beginning of another school year. ⁠

Do you have any end-of-summer traditions? Share in the comments!

Not quite ready for that Halfway to the Holidays time warp yesterday? No worries! Here's your friendly reminder that it's only 28 days until Spooky Season begins at Walt Disney World!

The first two After Hours Boo Bash nights have already sold out, but tickets are available for August 20 through the end of September, and super limited availability for nights in October. Message me to secure your dates now before they sell out, too!

But, here's what I really want to know? Are you team 🎄 or 🎃?

Seven days without pizza makes one weak.🍕 So, let's be sure you know where to find the best pizza on your next Walt Disney World vacation, shall we? 💪

Look no further than Via Napoli in the Italy Pavilion at Epcot's World Showcase! 🇮🇹 It's one of our favorite restaurants at Epcot, perfect for pizza lovers and picky eaters!

Can't decide on which toppings to order? Considering splitting a large, made half and half, rather than two individuals. That's a quick $10 savings on your next Disney dinner bill! 💵

Pro-tip: Via Napoli closes earlier than most of the other restaurants in World Showcase, making reservations pretty hard to get! Be sure to snag them right at the 60 day mark, or book with me and I'll worry about the details for you! Pizza peace of mind! "Pizza mind?" Ha! You get there idea! 😜

What's your favorite pizza topping? Let me know in the comments! 👇

🌌"Every Jedi who ever lived, lives in you." - Qui Gonn Jinn ⁠🌌

No Disney Bucket List would be complete without Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser! Let's talk about what we know about this all-immersive adventure!⁠

When you arrive at Star Wars Galactic Star Cruiser, you'll enter the terminal where you'll board "launch pods" that will take you to the Halycon Starcruiser for your two-day, two-night, fully immersive vacation.⁠

During your stay on the Halcyon Starcruiser, you can participate in a variety of once-in-lifetime experiences like wielding a real-life light saber, tour the bridge and engineering decks, and feasting at the Crown of Corellia Dining Room.⁠

You'll also take a planetary excursion down to Batuu to enjoy the sights and sounds of Black Spire Outpost at Galaxy's Edge.⁠

Galactic Starcruiser will open in 2022, with reservations available later this year. What questions do you have about this intergalactic experience?

🚨Personal milestone alert🚨 Last week something really big happened and I can't wait to share!⁠

In January 2020, a pilates studio opened near my house. I quickly joined and thought I'd be doing good if I could get to one or two classes a week. I loved those two classes a week, though. I was finally taking time for me, and it felt great!⁠

Right around this same time, I joined Just So Magic Travel. I had wanted to share my love of Disney for a long time, by helping families make magic and memory-filled vacations, but the timing and opportunities had never worked out. And, I had always been just a little afraid to take the leap and make things official.⁠

Little did any of us know that a few short months later both the Disney Parks and my pilates studio would close. I kept at it. Sharing what I loved. Scheduling and rescheduling client trips. And, doing pilates at home. ⁠

When the studio reopened, I was so excited to get back to class and even stepped it up to 5 and 6 times a week. ⁠

For a girl who had never really had any kind of consistent exercise routine or ever attended group fitness classes, this was a very big deal! In fact, before Club Pilates, group fitness classes would cause me so much anxiety. ⁠

Before pilates, all sorts of negative self-talk kept me home. But, this time was different (credit to the phenomenal staff at Club Pilates North Frisco!). Fast forward to June 30, 2021 when I reached a very big Club Pilates milestone: 250 classes! ⁠

That same weekend, my very first client from 2020 finally got to take his long-awaited and much rescheduled Disney World vacation! ⁠

There was a lot about 2020 that did not go according to plan. That's probably the understatement of the century! But, my pilates and Just So Magic journeys have to exceed my wildest expectations. ⁠

I have big goals and I'm glad that you're all here for the ride and cheering me along. Thank you!⁠

I'd love to hear about a goal that you're working on so that we can cheer each other along! Let me know in the comments.

😭🎆🥰Yep, I cried the happiest of tears tonight! Fireworks are back at Walt Disney World!⁠

Happily Ever After and Epcot Foreevor returned tonight after 473 days! I don't know about you, but seeing fireworks soar above Cinderella Castle and Seven Seas Lagoon filled me with so much joy. So many things we've been waiting for are back at Walt Disney World, and even more are returning or debuting for the big 50th-anniversary celebration in October.⁠

I'm just so excited for my clients who are there now and headed to Florida soon. My heart is full. And, I'm counting down 98 days until my next trip back to the Most Magical Place on Earth. ⁠

Truthfully, Disney fireworks have always made me cry, in the best way possible. It's something about that moment in a fun-filled, busy park day where we slow down, take a breath, soak in all of the magic and just feel immensely grateful to be there, together.⁠

What's your favorite Disney fireworks memory? I have two.....Andy and I watched the very first night of Happily Ever After from Narcooses on our first anniversary trip. Happily Ever After has always had a special place in my heart after that.⁠

And, the second was watching Holiday Wishes with my mom and kiddos on their very first trip. The view from Fantasyland was unbeatable. The kids literally squealed with delight as the fireworks went off all around us. And, of course, I cried happy tears then, too! ⁠🥰⁠

Drop your Disney fireworks memories in the comments!⁠ I'd love to hear yours (and if you cry happy tears, too)!

🎶Can you hear the tiki music?🎶 Disney's Polynesian Villas & Bungalows were on so many of our bucket lists. Maybe it should be on yours too! 😉 ⁠

There are so many reasons to love Disney's Polynesian Villas & Bungalows. Island vibes, delicious food, and castle views, just to name a few. ⁠🌸🥥🏰⁠

But here's one of the best hidden secrets about the Polynesian Villas. The layout of the Deluxe Studio is perfect for giving families a bit more space without needing to pay for a 1-bedroom villa!⁠

The rooms sleep 5️⃣ between a queen-size bed, a queen-size sleeper sofa and a Lilo & Stitch-themed murphy bed. But, I think the real magic is the two bathrooms!⁠

There's a full bath and then another bathroom with a sink and shower. So, two people can be getting ready at the same time! That's a big win, even for my family of 4!⁠ And, totally perfect for a girls' trip!⁠

Drop a 🍍 in the comments if the Poly on your bucket list!⁠

P.S...join me for IG Live TONIGHT at 7p Central. The Just So Magic Team and I will be talking about all of the fabulous Disney resorts, including the Poly, and how we help clients choose the perfect resort for their trip!

Happy National Selfie Day! You thought I forgot, didn't you? 🤣 Truthfully, I wasn't even going to post today. But, you know what? Today was a great day and I'm pretty sure I have the best job ever!

I spent this evening doing things I love while making magic for clients and potential clients all at the same time! I walked a client through some key decisions for her fall trip. And I chatted about Disney and special needs accommodations on my very first IG live with tonight.

Bottom line? I got out of my comfort zone today and I can't stop smiling....so, I took this selfie to commemorate, as one does on National Selfie Day! 😉🤣

Did you see my Disney Bucket List story from yesterday? (If not, check out the new story highlight to see my bucket list and add your own!). But, here's the thing. My bucket list wouldn't look much like my husbands. I'm certain that his would include all of the locations where he could play golf!

For years now, Andy has golfed at least once on every Walt Disney World trip, usually on the morning of an Epcot day (dagger through my heart! 🤣). So, today's post is in honor of my hubby, Father's Day and the US Open Championship final round!

Did you know that Walt Disney World has three world-class 18-hole golf courses and one 9-hole course?⁠ Let's take a look!

⛳ Disney's Lake Buena Visit has hosted PGA, LPGA and USGA championships and is a certified cooperative wildlife sanctuary.⁠

⛳ Disney's Magnolia is the longest of the four WDW courses with majestic magnolia trees, sweeping greens and challenging water hazards. It weaves in and around Disney's Old Key West Resort.⁠

⛳ Disney's Palm was completely redesigned in 2013 by the Arnold Palmer Design Company. It features shimmering lakes, tropical sands, palm trees and sloping greens.⁠

⛳ Disney's Oak Trail is a family-friendly, 9-hole golf course. It's perfect for a quick round of golf to start your day. ⁠

Do you have a Disney bucket list? Here are 3 ways to add some extra special magic to elevate your next Disney vacation and start marking things off that list!⁠ ⁠

🍱 Book a Signature Dining Restaurant (or two, or three?). Add a custom celebration cake for an extra special finale.⁠ If you've never experienced California Grill at sunset, I highly recommend adding that to your bucket list for this amazing view!⁠

🏨 Book a Club Level room at a Deluxe Resort for some extra pampering. ⁠

🛳️ Make your next trip a land and sea vacation. For the ultimate Disney experience, add a Disney Cruise to the beginning or end of your Walt Disney World vacation!⁠

I'll be sharing my bucket list in stories and featuring so many bucket list ideas on posts over the next week! Be sure to follow so you don't miss any of the bucket list fun!⁠

Of all the things reopening at Disney World, I'm pretty sure my kids will be most excited about this one.⁠

Yep, the arcade. Not the fireworks. Certainly not the restaurants. In fact, my kids have been known to pass up park time to spend more time in the resort arcade.⁠

In fact, on our family trip back in 2019, we ended up staying an extra day because Hurricane Dorian canceled our original flight home. We had just enough time to go to Magic Kingdom to ride their favorite rides before heading home. Guess what they wanted to do instead? ⁠

Yep, you guessed it. they chose to spend the morning at the arcade instead! It's their trip, too, and we try to lean into these magical moments, even when they aren't the ones we've imagined. So, even though it goes against every fiber of my Disney being, we stayed at the arcade. This is why flexibility is the name of the game when building personalized itineraries.⁠

P.S. This is also why I love planning an adult trip every so often. It makes it easier to let the kids lead the way when we go on family trips!⁠

Have you heard the news? If you blinked you might have missed some of the exciting Disney news from the last few days. Thought we'd start the week with a quick recap!⁠

🎉 Face masks will be optional for vaccinated guests in most locations at Walt Disney World and Disneyland beginning June 15. Masks will still be required on Disney transportation (monorail, bus, Skyliner, etc).⁠ As always be sure to check the Know Before You Go before your trip for any additional changes.

🎉 Additional dates were added for the After Hours Boo Bash. The event will now also be held on Sundays in September and October. Tickets go on sale for the general public tomorrow (June 15).⁠

🎉O'hana is reopening at Disney's Polynesian Resort...and the much-beloved noodles WILL be on the menu!⁠

🎉Select splash pads and play areas have begun to reopen across Disney World.⁠

🎉 Resort arcades have reopened, as well.⁠

Which of these changes are you most excited about? Let me know in the comments!⁠

Making Magic for You!

Hi! I'm Lindsay. I'm a wife, mom and creator of magical Disney memories for you and your family! Walt Disney World is my family's home away from home. It's where we go to celebrate milestone birthdays and anniversaries or just to get away from it all and reconnect. There's nothing quite like the feeling of knowing we're back "home" when we drive under the "Welcome to Walt Disney World" sign or the feeling of overwhelming joy and gratitude when we're watching one of our favorite nighttime spectaculars (I've been known to shed happy tears!). From the minute we arrive on Disney property, we're immersed in the magic with our favorite sights, sounds, and smells. Memories that will last a lifetime!

And, because my family's every day special needs, ADHD, chronic pain and anxiety, come with us on vacation too, I have firsthand experience with techniques that can help you turn a potential meltdown into a memory. Whether it's a list of secluded places for soothing over-stimulated kids, knowing the nearest park play area for some sensory input, or advice on how to use the Disability Access Pass, I can help make sure that your family has the perfect Disney vacation to meet each of your family members' unique special needs.

The truth is, I love the planning almost as much as the trip itself! The minute our vacation ends, I'm already planning our next trip to visit the Mouse! That's why I'm so excited to join the Just So Magic Travel​ team! I've planned family trips, couples trips, and extended family trips, and I look forward to planning YOUR next trip to the magic, whether it's the first or the fifteenth! I'll take care of dining and Fast Passes for you, provide you with a personalized itinerary to reduce time spent in lines and minimize walking, and give you a list of unique recommendations based on your family's special needs.

One of my favorite feelings at Disney is hearing “Welcome home” when we arrive at our Disney Resort. I can’t wait to help you get “home!”
