Keisha’s Tip: Don’t just wait in line for rides…EXPLORE!!!

Walt Disney World is more than the rides and the yummy snacks! There’s so many things to explore throughout the four parks! I discover something new every time and I love seeing my kids experience the little things. In this pic, my oldest discovered for the first time this large, interactive plant in Pandora. He enjoyed watching what happened when he touched it.
If you’re booking a WDW trip with us, I will give you a heads up on these little interactive experiences you don’t want to miss!

Walt Disney World is offering this amazing PROMO now through September 22 where park tickets cost $99/day! I compared different deals and landed on this one. BECAUSE…it saved me ~$400! Originally, I was looking at a 3 day base ticket which was more expensive than purchasing this 4 day promo. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, let us quote different trips for you to help you save the most $$$ possible!

Keisha’s Tip: Don’t skip on staying at Disney Resort!!!

Disney continues their magic throughout their entire property. From immersive theming, relaxing pools, the most comfortable beds, never-ending activities to the one-stop shop for all your needs, Disney Resorts are a vacation in itself! My favorite resort treat is when the Character Caravanning Around the World pops into your resort lobby! Disney has a bus that transports some of our characters to do surprise meet-n-greet! Staying at a Disney Resort is truly magical so don’t skip it. Contact us today to price your next Disney Resort stay!

Keisha’s Tip: Consider Deluxe!

I get it, a trip to Walt Disney World can be a sticker shock. Value Resorts are a fantastic option to save. However…the least costing resorts might not always be the best bang for your buck. This past trip, we stayed at a Deluxe Resort. Deluxe Resorts are a huge sticker shock and I’ll be honest, I was hesitant. I quickly realized how many amenities you receive when staying Deluxe! The best one was Extra Magic Hours for Deluxe Resort guests. We received two extra hours in select parks on select days. This meant we enjoyed Magic Kingdom and Epcot 2 more hours than other guests!!!! I enjoyed Starbucks at midnight in front of the castle! And the best thing was the short wait times! 5 minute wait for Frozen Ever After! Riding 3x in a row on Big Thunder Mountain! And so much more without needing Genie+!

Genie+ is a great feature that helps you skip wait times for lines, but it can add up for every day and every purchase it for. If you stay at a Deluxe and take advantage of the Extra Magic Hours, you might not want/need to purchase Genie+. So when you’re ready to start quoting your WDW trips, please let us quote a variety Disney Resorts to help you decide the one that is perfect for your family!

Happy Father’s Day to all the amazing dads out there who go over and beyond to be there for your families!

Our family is so lucky to have Benji! He provides all the love and fun everyday. He is a fantastic example to our boys. The 3 of us love you so much!

Skip the Line and Character Dine!!!

Meeting characters is one of my favorite things to do at WDW. Waiting in long lines in the hot Florida sun…not so much. Especially, when you’re not so sure how your kid is going to react to the character after the wait. So my tip for you is to book a reservation for a Character Dining experience. Rather than waiting in line, the characters come to you during your meal. Kids seem more relaxed at the table. Characters often provide fun interactions in this setting and take lots of pictures. Character dining can be on the pricier side, but with a Dining Plan it is a great deal!

If you’re interested in a free quote to add a Dining Plan to your trip, DM us now. Comment below the character you’d love to dine with!
