Is anyone else’s Facebook feed filled with all the exciting announcements from the Đ23 Fan Event? Check out Disney Parks for these and many more updates!

An all new Villians Land is coming to Magic Kingdom! “This land will be home to the villains that you know and those that you loathe, which means 'happily ever after' ... it may feel like just a distant dream," said Josh D'Amaro, chairman of Disney Experiences, with two major attractions, dining, and shopping. Disney also teased that we should, "be prepared, you poor unfortunate souls," which could mean that Scar and Ursula could be the stars of these new attractions. Or it was just a fun use of those songs to share about this land. Either way, there should be a lot to love for fans of the darker side of Disney.

Also ... a new Indiana Jones-themed ride will arrive at Disney's Animal Kingdom, as well as a new Encanto-themed ride. Both will debut in 2027. A Monsters Inc. land will be coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios. With, a ride that travels through the door factory from the film will mark the first-ever suspended coaster for a Disney park. Grogu and Mando are being added to Smuggler’s Run. A Zootopia show will begin at the Animal Kingdom in 2025, Test Track will reopen at Epcot that same year and there will also be a new nighttime parade coming to the Magic Kingdom in 2025 as well. Plus, two new Cars-themed attractions will soon be built in Frontierland at Magic Kingdom theme park.

Central Florida adventures just keep getting better!!

This is a great reminder to always supervise your Littles and consider designating a Water Watcher 🦦💦☀️

A backyard pool is fun for kids but it's important to keep them out of harm's way. These pool safety tips are a must.

Cheers to the Heroes who secured our independence! Have a Safe and Happy 4th of July 🎆🇺🇸💫

Pretty as a Princess 👑💙💫! Our second level Cinderella King en suite bathroom needed a little extra jewelry, so we updated to this silver framed mirror today. This bedroom is perfect for any age, from the littles to the adults!

Cocoa Beach and the Space Coast are approximately 60-75 minutes from the villa. Many beautiful Gulf beaches including Clearwater, Indian Rocks and Siesta Key are 90 minutes to 2.5 hours depending on traffic. A gorgeous beach day is one of the best day trips! But before you go, be sure to familiarize yourself with the various beach flag warnings and how to spot rip currents. Salty air, Sun and Sand are one of the best things about the Florida beaches- but Safety should always be on your mind as well ☀️

For those hitting the ocean and waves this summer.
This is really simple. You can spot a rip current. Unfortunately, it's where it looks easiest and safest to enter the sea. This is because the rip current is looping around and pulling back OUT. Hence no waves rolling IN. NEVER ENTER THE SEA HERE. If you are already in the sea and get caught in a rip current (you'll know because you will suddenly be moved from your location and it will be impossible to swim against it) don't panic. Swim ACROSS, not against the rip current. For example, rather than trying to swim to shore while being pushed out, swim parallel to the beach and you will be able to get out. Then you can swim ashore. Please educate friends or family visiting the beaches this summer. Stay safe

NFL Blitz arcade has replaced the Big Buck Hunter. Three different games, up to 4 players and all 32 teams 🏈🏟🎉

Speaking of teams- the 2024 NFL schedule has been released! Raymond James Stadium, home of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is 68 miles from the villa and typically takes approximately 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes, dependent on traffic. Ten teams will travel to Tampa this year including the Dolphins, Commanders, Broncos, Eagles, Ravens, Falcons, 49ers, Raiders, Panthers and Saints.

We are big sports fans, so we’ve made it easy to cheer on your teams by watching on one of our NINE smart TVs… the game room, kitchen, living room and outdoor lanai all include the Bluestream cable sports subscription. You can also treat yourself to an evening game or movie on the 120” poolside theatre! 🏈🏀⚾️⚽️🥅🏒🏆

I hopped over to Basin at the Grand Floridian today to stock up on the Mickey soaps we add to our welcome gifts. The store truly smells heavenly! I’d definitely recommend stopping in this store when you are here… they also have a location at Disney Springs!

I also enjoyed breakfast at the newly re-opened 1900 Park Fare. The strawberry soup is delicious! However, I think many of the Littles around me most enjoyed the unlimited gummy bears lol. The characters do an amazing job of interacting with guests and encouraging wish making and to “Believe in You!”

Today we take a moment to celebrate all the amazing women who play a special role in our lives! From mothers to stepmothers, grandmothers to mother figures, to our teachers and mentors, many women deserve to be honored and celebrated for their unwavering love and support! 💗💗💗

A future guest asked for a recommendation for a special occasion dinner. One of my favorites and must-do choices is Wine Bar George at Disney Springs. This estate style wine bar has a globally recognized and award winning wine list. They offer everything from an advance ticketed tasting experience with Master Sommelier George Miliotes to a casual lunch or dinner with delicious seasonal food and wine pairings including small plates, boards, family-style plates and even kids’ meals. The Wine Country Brunch is wonderful as is the al fresco dining experience from The Basket. The Basket at WBG is a perfect option if you are on-the-go as they offer bites, snacks, charcuterie, spiced nuts, desserts and more. It’s a toss up between their olive oil cake and Key lime pie… such a wonderful treat! I love their Frozcato − made with DOLE WHIP® Pineapple Moscato (a sweet white wine) and vodka, and be sure to purchase a Corkcicle stemless cup to take home! Advance reservations are strongly recommended for lunch, dinner and weekend brunch.

Last, before you arrive at WBG, be sure to get into the virtual queue for Gideon’s Bakehouse and get a few of their half-pound cookies to bring back to the villa! Photos are from a recent trip for dinner with my college girlfriends as well as some pictures from Disney’s website.

Pool Safety 💦 Trigger Warning we are keeping this sweet girl and her family in our prayers 💗

Although this latest incident was not here in Windsor Hills, a young child who was staying just a few doors down the street did not make it home last year. And the family- on a magical dream vacation that had just begun, won’t ever be the same. Accidents can happen in just seconds…

We have taken precautionary measures with the latch lock on the door, a pool safety alarm, a child safety fence at the villa and multiple pool safety warning signs. We also include this reminder in our arrival information-

“When you leave the house, be sure the pool sliding door is latched and simply press the Lock button on the front door's key pad. The front door lock is not automatic; the Lock button must be pressed. Please also note there is an alarm on the sliding doors to the pool area. This requires a simple button to be pushed prior to entry and exit to/from the pool and lanai area. Instructions are located on the wall by the doors. Most important, many of our guests have young children with them. *** PLEASE use caution at all times in and around the pool area as it only takes moments for an accident to happen. Keep an extra eye on your loved ones by having an attendant who is able to swim and can protect others in the case of difficulty in the water which varies in depth from approximately 3-5 feet.

Thank you for reading, and please keep this little girl in your thoughts and prayers 💗

A 2-year-old is recovering at AdventHealth after her family says she fell into a pool at a Kissimmee Airbnb.
