I'm going to have to pack extra tissues for this one!🥲

Just watched a clip of the Frozen Holiday Surprise show in Magic Kingdom and had to hold back tears.

Why? It includes our all time favorite holiday song, "When We're Together" from Olaf's Frozen Adventure. You just have to listen to the lyrics of this song!

My daughter Ella melted my heart the when she sang this to me the first time and every time since. It became our thing, our song. We both have it memorized by heart and love to belt it out in the car, totally in sync with our parts as if we planned it that way 💜

I am beyond excited to share this special moment with her in Magic Kingdom in from of Cinderella's Castle in only a few short weeks. I think I'm going to leave it as a surprise - I just want to capture her reaction when we watch the show! Definitely a Core Memory kind of day.

Frozen Holiday Surprise debuted last night, November 7th at Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World. The best part is that you don't need a Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party ticket to catch this special 7 minute show! Check it out at 6:15pm daily with regular park admission! or see it during the Christmas Party at 8:15pm!

11/04/2023

🎄AND JUST LIKE THAT....It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas at Magic Kingdom!

It's so incredibly magical how Magic Kingdom is transformed practically overnight! One year, we were lucky enough to be there! 🎃Mickey pumpkins one day and the 🎄Christmas Tree and all the trimmings the next.

🚄Want the best of both worlds? Um, yes please!🙋‍♀

Did you know that The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is in BOTH parks at Universal Orlando Resorts! Experience Hogsmeade at Islands of Adventure AND Diagon Alley when visiting Universal Studios Theme Park. Even though they are in 2 different parks, both Wizarding World areas are connected by the Hogwarts Express!

Here's the one thing you MUST have to be able to board the train from Hogsmeade to Diagon Alley...A Park to Park admission ticket!

Only guests with this kind of ticket are given access to ride the Hogwarts Express, which is an attraction in itself. Want to go through Platform 9 3/4 - need to have that Park to Park admission ticket.

If you're like me and love being immersed in the magic, prioritize this purchase. I mean who wants to leave that amazing theming! The Hogwarts Express is such an immersive train ride - a different experience in each direction. With no height restriction, it's a great way to have fun with the ENTIRE family.

Want more Universal Orlando Tips? Book your trip with me today!

✨She’s almost there!!!✨

When school was ending in June, I introduced my oldest to the Harry Potter series. We talked about taking a trip to when she finished all 7 books. We’ll, she fell in love with the magic, the story and all of the amazing details. Each time she finished a book we would watch the movie to compare. Now it’s almost time for us to plan that trip. She’s devouring Book 7!

I cannot wait to show her how stunning and immersive The Wizarding World is at Universal Orlando! It’s been such a long time since I have read the books - I’m sure she will be teaching me more than a few things as we explore and get lost in the land!

✨ Reminiscing about my most magical moments at Universal Orlando ✨

This picture says it all for me. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter definitely holds a special place in my heart. It didn't matter which Universal park I was at, I always found myself making my way back there. Not just for the rides (which were also amazing), but just to wander through Hogsmeade or Diagon Alley and take in all of the stunning details. I would grab a Butterbeer and my wand and just get lost in the magic.

The whole experience is a MUST for kids and adults alike. If you haven't been yet, let's start planning together! Or if you share your favorite moments in the comments below!

An EXCLUSIVE offer for my followers: Universal Orlando Vacations for this year, booked with me before September 29th receive a $100 gift card to use during your trip! Use it to buy a wand🪄, treats, or even your very own witch or wizard robe!

One BIG perk of staying at Disney's Wilderness Lodge - water taxi transportation that takes you directly to Magic Kingdom! Depending on the size of the boat - you can sometimes roll your stroller right on without having to fold it.

A little story about the kindness of the Disney Community: It was our first trip back after the closure and we were super excited about our visit, especially since it was also the Festival of the Arts at EPCOT. Our whole family wore purple matching Figment shirts and my daughter purchased the Figment shoulder pal. We were utilizing Rider Switch, since my son was not able to join in. As my daughter and I were waiting for our turn, a girl came up to us and GAVE us the infamous Figment Popcorn Bucket of 2022. She said that she waited (in the many many many hour line) and bought three extra ones to give away. What an absolutely sweet gesture! My daughter decided that she would make sure to pay it forward during our trip. Every time she saw a child drop a stuffy, lovey or shoulder pal, she would run over to grab it and bring it back to the family.

My husband and I love heading to Disney's Animal Kingdom and riding Avatar Flight of Passage. Since only one of our three kids likes to join us we definitely take advantage of Rider Switch. This way only one of us needs to wait in the Standby line and it saves us a ton of time! While I wait with the kids we head straight to Pongu Pongu and grab a Pongu Lumpia which is this amazing pineapple cream cheese spring roll and the Night Blossom drink you see here - Layers of Apple and Desert Pear Limeade topped with Boba Balls - a big winner with the kids!

What's your favorite Animal Kingdom treat?

One of my favorite places to go to take a break in Magic Kingdom - the Hub. Hang out on the "grass", watch parades go by, enjoy a snack, look down Main Street USA or gaze at Cinderella Castle. There's nothing better than sitting in the middle of it all ❤
