✨Boulder Ridge Villas at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge is a vibe!✨

We are staying in a 2 bedroom villa at this resort and it’s been so comfortable having all the amenities from home while on vacation!

This villa sleeps up to 8 people and the brand new decor themed to the Pacific Northwest is such a nice touch! The pull down Murphy bed in the living are makes it so convenient to have a living room space and a bedroom all in one!

A full review to come but so far I am loving it here! 🩷🩷

✨Flying to Walt Disney World but need essentials?✨

What I love about vacationing at Walt Disney World is the flexibility to make this trip any way I want it. Whether it’s in a standard hotel room or booking a villa which brings the comforts of home such as a FULL kitchen, living area and washer and dryer! 🏠

I am SO excited to stay in a 2 bedroom villa starting tomorrow for my family vacation and you can bet that I had the essentials delivered, and let me tell you, it has been an amazing AMAZING experience so far! 🩷

Everything is delivered the day before and stored by Disney Cast members at your resort (and that includes refrigerated items!) and on arrival day it’s there waiting for you! 🙌🏼

✨The TRUTH about Disney Gift Cards✨

If you are anything like me, planning a budget for food and spending for your Disney vacation will always be on your mind starting from the day you decide to go to the day you arrive.

I have clients that ask me how much money will they need for food or spending, and while everyone’s habits are completely different, one of my biggest advice is to either A. Start putting money aside in a savings account or B. Look into buying a Disney gift card every so often.

‼️PSA! Buying any gift cards in general is non-refundable! In fact every time I visit a store to buy one, the clerk reminds me that the gift card I am purchasing cannot be returned and I politely agree and say “yes I understand.” It’s also important to note that paying on a Disney vacation with gift cards - while allowed - is one to be aware and proceed with caution just in case something happens and you don’t take the trip, because all of the money you invested on the trip goes back to those gift cards, you will not get your money back in cash, which potentially means you will have to use that money for another time. (Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it’s important that people know and understand this)

If you are 150% sure you will be taking that Disney vacation, then buying a Disney gift card here and there is allowing you to have funds to spend while at the theme parks and the resorts. You can use a gift card anywhere on Disney property which makes the gift card your very own way of saving “Disney money” since technically you know you can’t use the gift card anywhere else anyway.

There are also savings when purchasing Disney gift cards such as fuel rewards or getting a percent back at Target. You could probably google your way to find the best possible option to get the most bang for your buck.

As for me, I visit the Disney parks constantly since I am an Annual Passholder, but when I am taking a family vacation to Disney - meaning I am no longer paying for just myself but my entire family of 4, not to mention being there longer than just a couple of days - I personally stock up on them to make spending on food and Genie+ a much easier experience. 😁👍🏼

In final - Disney gift cards CAN be a great thing, but being smart about how you purchase and use them is key along with understanding the repercussions just in case there is an interruption on your trip.

✨I am officially back home safe and sound from 3 very busy and exhausting days in Orlando!✨

We finally made it home around midnight 😅 and it feels so good to be home in my own bed and with my family and doggies 🩷

I have LOTS to post about in the coming days including a detailed tour of the Disney Wish, a budget friendly option over at All Star Music Resort (preferred view is the way to go!) along with talking about some Disney Springs Resort options for those that may need some extra amenities and a dining review of the newly imagined 1900 Park Fare!

✨Meet my client Elvie and her friends!✨

Cruising has become a HOT vacation for families but did you know that it also makes a perfect girls trip getaway as well? 😉

My recent clients sailed on Royal Caribbean’s Allure of the Sea out of Port Canaveral in Florida and did a 4 night sailing into the Bahamas! 🏝️

🛳️ The Allure of the Seas is an Oasis class ship and is known for not only being huge but also for its neighborhoods (Central Park and Boardwalk) and nightly entertainment.

They visited two port stops, the poplar Nassau Bahamas and Coco Cay, which is Royal Caribbean’s dedicated island.

They celebrated two birthdays 🎂 on this trip and had the best time ever and it was awesome being a part of this girl trip!

I cannot wait till they plan their next adventure together, we are already talking about another cruise! 🚢
