📢 ICYMI - Lightning Lane system changes start tomorrow 7/24/24 📢

A brand new era of Lightning Lane begins tomorrow and personally, I’m excited about it!
With this new system guests can purchase and pre-book:
▪️3 multi-pass attractions & choose the return times
▪️Up to 2 single pass attractions & choose return times!

Shortly before my client’s booking window opens, they will receive a 12 page guide with information, tips & tricks based on my experience with the parks and attractions, and a step by step guide on how to book their selections! Plus I’m available to go over any questions to make sure they are comfortable with this new system.

All part of the you get when you book your trip with me!

🍨🍦 National Ice Cream Day 🍦🍨

Find yourself a friend who will share a giant sundae at Beaches and Cream!!
Pixie Heather and I recommend the No Way Jose sundae - vanilla & chocolate ice cream, hot fudge, peanut butter, chocolate chips, whip cream, and a cherry!

Where is your favorite place to get ice cream at Disney?

✨Day 3✨

Nassau day & Pirate Night! 🏖️

Reagan and I woke up early to go to the grand hall and hear Cinderella wake up the ship! There was literally no one around, it was so peaceful to sip my coffee and take in the beautiful sights!

When we got back to the room, room service was delivered and we had the best view as our ship pulled into port. for most Bahamas and Caribbean cruises, starboard is the best side for the best views!

We decided to get off and walk around Nassau for a bit. It was HOT!! We visited the famous straw market and walked the streets of Nassau where purchased a few souvenirs.

Back on board, McKinley, Joel, and I headed to the Hero Zone for the Incredibles Obstacle Course which was a blast!
Then we threw on our suites, grabbed lunch and probably the 100th ice cream of the trip, and enjoyed the pools and AquaMouse water coaster. So fun!!

Fun fact - Disney shows current movies in their ship’s theaters and Inside Out 2 was showing that evening so the girls and I watched it before dinner. I loved it!! Even cried a few tears!

Dinner was at 1923, a restaurant with many nods to Walt and Roy and the amazing company they built. The food was amazing as always!

After dinner we headed to Deck 11 for the Rocking Pirate Party and fireworks at sea! My favorite part - I’m a sucker for fireworks!
The girls ditched us for time with their friends at the teen club so Joel and I bar hopped.
My favorite drink on board is the Nightingale located at the piano bar also named Nightingales - for the song from Cinderella.

Another great day on board!

Think a last minute trip this summer isn’t possible? Think again!!

My sweet client, Jessica, reached out last week to plan a quick getaway…..at the end of July!
With a little bit of ✨magic✨ and a summer room discount I found them the perfect resort, added park tickets, & planned for a day at the beach! Now they are counting down the {very few} days until vacation!!

Let’s get your family to Disney before school starts! Or maybe in September when crowds are moderate and Halloween is in full effect!

✨Day 2✨

Today was cruise day!!
We had to be up early because Disney Cruise Line collected our luggage from our resort room at 7 am - and like magic, it appeared in our stateroom on the cruise later in the afternoon!
We grabbed breakfast at Coronado and then it was time to board the motor coach to Port Canaveral. as your travel planner I can reserve your pre-cruise stay and your transportation to the port!
Once at the port, it was a quick check-in process and we waited just a bit for our boarding group to be called before we were welcomed aboard the gorgeous Disney Wish! We took a picture with Mickey then headed up to lunch at Marceline Market, a buffet with soooo many options! We spent the afternoon exploring the ship, registering the girls for the teen club & unpacking our stateroom. Due to rain, the sail away party was moved into the grand hall and it was so fun to feel everyone's excitement about the cruise being underway!
Our dinner was at Arendelle - the Frozen themed restaurant. We had the BEST table, right next to the stage to see Anna, Elsa, Kristoff, and the musicians who put on an impressive show! The food was amazing as well!
After dinner, the girls went to the teen club for activities and the adults went to the Match Your Mate show, which is definitely not PG rated but SO funny!
We ended the night with room service (did I mention it is available 24 hours) and a movie before bed.
Such a fun, busy first day on the cruise!

Phew!! What a whirlwind trip we had!
Now that we're back and the suitcases are unpacked and allllll the laundry has been done, I'm excited to share our trip with you!

✨Day 1✨
After a 2 am wake up for a 5 am flight, we landed in Orlando around 8:30 am and were at Coronado Springs eating Mickey Waffles by 10 am! Thankfully our room was ready early so we all took naps and headed out to the pool for a couple of hours before the typical Florida summer storms popped up.
We cleaned up, caught a bus to Disney Springs and ate at Chicken Guy for dinner. I'll be honest - it was not a hit with our family and we will stick with our favorite Polite Pig BBQ next time.
After dinner, we caught a bus to the Beach Club to meet up with two of my The Pixie Planners besties who just so happened to be on vacation with their families! We enjoyed ice cream from the Beaches and Cream to-go window.
After our good byes, my family hopped on the skyliner (our favorite Disney transportation) to Hollywood Studios where we caught a bus back to Coronado. After a quick night cap at the Dahlia Lounge, we called it a night because the next day was.....CRUISE DAY!!

Happy 4th of July!! Be safe, have fun, and be grateful for our freedom! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

🚨BIG CHANGES COMING 7/24/24!!!!🚨

⚡️BREAKING: Genie+ Rebranded, Lightning Lane Advance Purchase Coming to Walt Disney World⚡️

OFFICIAL WORD FROM DISNEY:

On July 24, Walt Disney World will introduce new, simpler names to provide more clarity for everyone. Disney Genie+ service will become Lightning Lane Multi Pass, while individual Lightning Lane will now be known as Lightning Lane Single Pass.

⭐️Choose your experiences and times prior to purchasing, so you know what you’re getting.

⭐️Book Lightning Lane passes for multiple vacation days, all in a single day.

⭐️When guests purchase Lightning Lane Multi Pass, they may make up to 3 Lightning Lane selections in a theme park, in advance of your visit. They’ll also be able to choose available times as they make their selections. On the day of their visit, once they use a selection, they may check the My Disney Experience app for availability to make an additional selection.

⭐️Lightning Lane Single Pass will work much like it does today, where guests can secure a time to ride one of our most highly demanded attractions, but they’ll now be able to make their purchase and plan in advance.

⭐️Guests staying at a Disney Resort hotel and other select hotels (Shades of Green Resort, Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotels) will be able to plan Lightning Lane passes up to 7 days in advance, for their entire stay (up to 14 days).

⭐️All other guests can plan up to 3 days in advance.

⭐️Guests may purchase a Lightning Lane Multi Pass, a Lightning Lane Single Pass or both. The app will also be updated to make it quicker and easier to purchase and plan, with fewer steps and a new option to purchase Lightning Lane Single Pass and Lightning Lane Multi Pass in one transaction.

Stay tuned as we learn more about these exciting changes!

🚢 Disney Wish Stateroom Tour 🚢

Spoiler Alert- this room was absolutely beautiful, with a well thought out layout, tons of storage space, and can sleep 5 people!

Each floor has different themes! Decks 6 and 7 are themed for Cinderella and Frozen. Decks 8 and 9 are themed for Sleeping Beauty and Princess and the Frog. Decks 10 and 11 are themed for The Little Mermaid and Moana. So, if you see a pumpkin carriage, you’re on Decks 6 or 7. An owl, Decks 8 or 9, or a seashell, Deck 10 or 11!

🚢☀️🏰 Pixie Trip Day 5 🏰☀️🚢

We now return to our regularly scheduled cruise content!

Day 5 - Nassau
We docked in Nassau bright and early but my cabin chose to sleep in and eat breakfast at 1923 instead of the buffet. It was so good!
We decided not to get off the ship and lounge on the deck with other Pixies, soaking in the beautiful 85° day! Many families choose not to get off at this port in favor of exploring the ship and enjoying the pools and AquaMouse water coaster with fewer crowds.

I grabbed tacos for lunch from Donald’s cantina and they were sooo good!
Then it was off to my massage which was wonderful and much needed after a few days in the parks.

Tonight was Pirate Night! All sailings in the Caribbean will have a pirate night with special entertainment, characters dressed in their swashbuckling best, and fireworks at sea! We enjoyed dinner and headed up to the pool deck for the Pirate show and fireworks viewing.

We ended the night with drinks at our favorite bar The Rose! Sam the bartender makes a perfect lemon drop martini!!

My love of Disney started with my first visit to Disneyland as a young girl and grew with each return trip, including several to Walt Disney World. That love was intensified after introducing my husband and two daughters to the magic and wonder that only a Disney vacation can provide.

As a Pixie Planner, I get to combine my love of Disney with my love of planning. I always say that planning is half the fun! It is such a rewarding experience to help families plan a magical vacation that they remember for years to come. Disney is magical, not stressful, and I’d be honored to help your Disney dreams become reality!
