BAM!!!!

And just like that- IT'S CHRISTMAS!

Universal Orlando Resort invites you to unwrap a season of thrills, fun and excitement for the whole family with its destination-wide Holidays celebration – beginning Friday, November 22 and running daily through Tuesday, December 31.

As part of admission to the theme parks, enjoy a merry slate of festive experiences inspired by beloved characters and stories – from reveling in the “The Magic of Christmas at Hogwarts Castle” in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Hogsmeade, to meeting everyone’s favorite mean, green grouch, the Grinch, during Grinchmas, to watching larger-than-life floats and balloons during Universal’s Holiday Parade featuring Macy’s, and so much more.

Plus, take your holiday festivities at Universal Orlando to the next level with a stay at one of Universal’s hotels – all of which will be decked out in holiday décor and feature seasonal experiences – or by purchasing add-on, in-park experiences like The Universal Holiday Tour and The Grinch & Friends Character breakfast .

Let's get started on that holidya who-bilation vacation TODAY!

What in the "Disney World " went on yesterday ?

If you are in any Disney FB group, you saw a LOT of comments, opinions, and overall shenanigans when it comes to this new "tier" of paid passes at both WDW and DL resorts.

First of all, please make sure to get your information from a credible source. Go directly to the Disney website, or, to a trusted travel advisor (like me) who is keeping up with the latest news. As a travel advisor I do have access to educational materials to make this all make sense!

The Lightning Lane Premier Pass will be available in limited quantities to guests staying at a Disney Deluxe Resort, Deluxe Villa , Shades of Green and the Swan and Dolphin Resorts. October 30th is the roll out date for that tier. It will be available to purchase seven days in advance of your stay. It will only be valid for use in ONE park of your choice per day. You do have to purchase one pass per ticket per park per day. This pass does NOT include the park ticket! I am only discussing WDW here- we can talk DL later.

This pass gives one time entry to each available Lightning Lane entrance in the theme park you are visiting that day. This includes attractions included in BOTH Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Single Pass. The key difference is - with the Lightning Lane Premiere Pass guests DO NOT have to select an arrival time. This is a premium offering, and prices will vary based on date and the theme park you are visiting that day.

Please note- you can still utilize the Multi Pass and Single Pass Systems to select up to three attractions per day ( seven days in advance of your stay). You can also do the good old fashioned "standby line" . Yes, that still exists! None of the passes are required at all.

Is the Lightning Lane Premier Pass expensive? Yes. Is it worth it? If you want the freedom to ditch your phone each day and roam freely from attraction to attraction while not worrying about long wait times or booking attraction arrival windows- than the answer is 100% YES.

A premium product designed to give you freedom back in the parks.

If I can help with answering any questions- I am here.

THIS is what I will be working on today- just woke up to an email from Disney about this new service. I have clients visiting on its first day and it's my job to figure out all the details for them.

In the coming weeks, Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort will begin piloting a new service providing expedited entry to theme park attractions: Lightning Lane Premier Pass.

Lightning Lane Premier Pass will be offered in very limited quantities and will give guests one-time entry to each available Lightning Lane entrance in the theme park they are visiting that day. This includes attractions included in both Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Single Pass, but with Lightning Lane Premier Pass, guests do not need to select an experience time. Lightning Lane Premier Pass will be a premium offering, and prices will vary based on the date and theme park guests are visiting.

At Disneyland Resort, the Lightning Lane Premier Pass will be available first come, first served beginning two days in advance of a theme park reservation and will be valid for use in both theme parks. The first date it will be available is October 23, 2024.

At Walt Disney World, when Lightning Lane Premier Pass launches, it will be available to guests staying at Disney Deluxe or Deluxe Villa Resorts and may be purchased up to seven days in advance of their stay. It will only be valid for use in one park of the guest’s choice per day. The first date it will be available is October 30, 2024.

So, what do you think of all this news? I know what I think... and would be happy to share my thoughts .

Why would you consider taking a shorter trip to the "Most Magical Place on Earth"? Any amount of time spent in the Disney bubble is magical, but a short trip offers these benefits:

🏰 You won't use up as much PTO (and your kids won't miss as much school!)
🏰 Shorter trips= BUDGET friendly
🏰 Perfect time to stay at a DELUXE resort!
🏰 Shorter trips can mean visiting more often.
🏰 Less worrying about what's going on at home (pets, plants, mail )

Let's talk more about this and see what we can plan for you this year or into 2025!

One MAGICAL spring break trip for one of my favorite repeat clients- a land and sea adventure in April , 2025!

The "G" family will be starting off spring break at All Star Movies in a preferred room with 4 days of park fun! Then on to Port Canaveral for a 3 night Bahamian cruise on board the Disney Wish.

They booked early with me and got their first choice of staterooms, as well as a great room at All Star Movies with the early 2025 promotion Disney is offering.
