You Can Dream It Travel - Kristy Buda

Yesterday was SUCH a great day!

We did not even arrive in time for rope drop but we still got 21 attractions in including twice on Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and three times on TRON: Lightcycle Run, lunch, dinner and the fireworks dessert party.

I got to test out the new Lightning Lane Multi Pass and I would say for the busiest day at Magic Kingdom in the last 30 days, we did pretty darn good!

08/07/2024

Today was another fantastic day! The weather has been gorgeous!!! It’s warm but windy and very tolerable.

I used Lightning Lane Multi Passes for the first time today and was able to secure 🔟 selections! I may have been able to do more but I didn’t fiddle/faddle too much and basically took what they gave me.

I was toying with the idea of park hopping and would have been able to secure another 2️⃣, possibly more at Epcot but decided to take advantage of our club lounge for one last night.

All of my clients receive my guide that helps to understand this new system and the best way to use it. In my opinion it is more user friendly than Genie+ and I love the fact that you can schedule your selections a week prior to arriving. This makes my planner 💜 happy.

Tomorrow is our last full day at Walt Disney World and we plan to make the most of it!! 🏰

Greetings from Disney's Hollywood Studios! 🎬

🌟 We're ready for an action-packed day at this fun-filled park. Here's what we're most looking forward to:

1. Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge: Can’t wait to pilot the Millennium Falcon and escape the First Order on Rise of the Resistance! Plus, trying some blue milk is a must and you better believe we’re going to visit Oga’s Cantina for an out of this world cocktail! 🌌🚀

2. Toy Story Land: Feeling like kids again as we shrink down to toy size and ride Slinky Dog Dash. We’ll also be eating at the Roundup Rodeo BBQ! 🧸🎢

3. Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway: Excited for a zany adventure with Mickey and friends on this charming ride. 🚂🐭

It’s time to test out this Lightning Lane Multi Pass!

It's going to be a day filled with thrills, laughter, and magical moments. Stay tuned for updates and photos! 📸🎉

Today we had a blast at Epcot! 🌐✨ We spent the day exploring this incredible park and it's easy to see why Epcot is fun for all ages.

Here's why we love Epcot:
1. World Showcase: Travel around the world in a day! From the delicious cuisine to the cultural experiences, there's something for everyone in each of the 11 pavilions. 🌍🍣🇫🇷

2. Future World: Get a glimpse of tomorrow with thrilling rides like Cosmic Rewind and Mission: SPACE. 🚀🏎️

3. Spaceship Earth: Journey through time and witness the evolution of human communication inside the iconic geodesic sphere. 📡

4. Moana Journey of Water: Need to cool off? This new attraction is the PERFECT way to do that! 💦

5. Skyliner Access: The park is easy to get to and leave from with the Skyliner option. We even took a ride around on it for fun! 🚠

The weather started out wet this morning with a tornado warning but cleared up by 11am and stayed BEAUTIFUL the rest of the day!

Wait times were loooowwwww which is awesome!

Epcot truly offers a mix of adventure, education, and entertainment that everyone can enjoy. We took a break back at the resort and then headed to Disney Springs for dinner at Summer House on the Lake. Unfortunately, Dreams that Soar was cancelled but we still had an excellent meal and grabbed some cookies to go! 🍪

Happily Ever After

08/04/2024

Good morning from Disney's Animal Kingdom! 🌞

🦁 We're here bright and early to rope drop Flight of Passage in Pandora – The World of Avatar. Nothing beats the excitement of being among the first to soar over Pandora's breathtaking landscape! 🌌🦋

Today, we're looking forward to:
1. Experiencing the thrill and wonder of Flight of Passage – a must-do for any Disney trip! 🏞️🛫
2. Exploring the lush trails of the Animal Kingdom and seeing all the amazing wildlife. 🐅🐘
3. Enjoying some delicious treats, especially those Mickey-shaped snacks we can't resist. 🍦🍿
4. Taking a ride on Expedition Everest and braving the yeti! 🏔️🦍
5. Catching the Festival of the Lion King show – it's always a highlight! 🦁🎶

It's going to be a wild and magical day! Stay tuned for updates and photos from our adventure. 📸✨

Our room is a haven of comfort and style, featuring breathtaking views of the Magic Kingdom, monorail, the Contemporary Resort and the lush forests. The plush bedding, thoughtful amenities, and those little Disney touches make it a dream come true. 🛏️🏞️

Of course, the convenience of being just a boat ride away from Magic Kingdom can’t be overstated. We love the ease of popping back to the lodge for a midday rest before heading back to the parks for more fun. 🚤🏰

The Old Faithful Club Lounge is a short 40 second walk from our room so it’s easy to pop over there and grab snacks or beverages and bring them back to the room.

Today we enjoyed breakfast: mimosas, eggs, pancakes, oatmeal, turkey sausage, smoked salmon, yogurt, bagels and more!
Mid-day snacks: veggies, crackers, dips, chips, trail mix and candy!
Hors D’oeuvres: chicken, bbq chicken, rolls, shrimp Greek salad, chicken salad, veggie salad, tomato basil soup plus several wine choices
Desserts: cupcakes, tarts, cookies, ice cream, cordials and more!

Wilderness Lodge club level is the only lounge to have two beers on tap. They also have several other canned varieties available anytime of day (just ask)!

The staff has been SO helpful. Even for a frequent visitor like me! They have been super impressive.

If you’re looking to elevate your Disney experience, staying at Disney's Wilderness Lodge Club Level is an absolute must. It's the perfect blend of wilderness charm and luxury, making it a magical escape you'll never forget. 🌲✨🌟

08/03/2024

Welcome home to Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Resort! 🌳 🪵

From the moment we stepped into the grand, rustic lobby, we were swept away by the luxurious, nature-inspired decor.

Staying at the Club Level means access to the exclusive Old Faithful Club, where we will indulge in gourmet snacks and beverages throughout the day. Breakfast, afternoon snacks, and evening appetizers are all top-notch, with something to satisfy every palate. 🍽️🥂

The personalized service is next-level. The Club Level staff goes above and beyond to make sure every aspect of our stay is perfect.

Need dining reservations? They’ve got you.
Looking for park tips? They’ve got you covered.
We are so excited to be pampered from start to finish. 🤗💁‍♂️

We were greeted by the concierge team with a personalized sign and led straight up to enjoy the lounge where I was served a mimosa along with a wonderful breakfast spread. They even brought out “Girls Trip!” buttons for us! Our room is not ready yet but we are enjoying this lounge all day long and some pool time.

Flexibility is my best advice when traveling.
Debby, the tropical storm, has her eyes on Florida so we decided to move up our trip by a day to soak in some more fun in the sun! ☀️

Our flight, however, got delayed this morning by 2 hours. We still were able to take off and land just in time to Uber, drop off our luggage and then get dropped off at Disney Springs to JUST make our lunch reservation at Homecomin’ (my favorite restaurant ever). 🙌

The rest of our day went perfectly.. we did some shopping and explored then made our way over to Port Orleans Riverside where we’re spending tonight. 🛍️

We ended up back in the Magic Kingdom resort area tonight to do some shopping, picture taking and dinner. 📸

Right now we’re headed back to the resort to turn in since I’ve been up for close to 24 hours straight. 🤪🥳🥱

08/02/2024

Girls’ Trip 2024 is underway! ✈️ 🏰 🚢 🏝️ ☀️ 🍹

We decided to bump up our departure a day early thanks to the tropical disturbance heading towards Florida.

We may be in for some wet weather but a rainy day at Disney is better than a sunny day in Wisconsin! 🤣

We will be combining a 6-night stay at Walt Disney World Resort (staying at 2️⃣ different resorts) as well as a 4-night Bahamian Disney Cruise and there are a few surprises along the way!

Follow along on my stories and right here for all the fun things we have planned! We have a LOT going on! 🙌

I will get back to everyone when we return on the 15th. Thanks for understanding!

It’s Thankful Thursday! 🙏

Gerald came to me with the challenge of planning this birthday/celebration for him and his extended family. They decided on the family suites at Art of Animation which offer so much space for bigger families.. I just love the 2️⃣ bathrooms and highly themed resort as well as the Skyliner access! 🚠

Did you know there are 2️⃣ restaurants inside the Wizarding World of Harry Potter?

They are in different parks (yes, the WWoHP spans 2 parks)!

First in Hogsmeade, you can find the Three Broomsticks. This is where you can get the famous Great Feast!

Next, in Diagon Alley, is the Leaky Cauldron serving up lots of English favorites like Bangers & Mash and of course, Butterbeer! 🍻

Both locations are open for breakfast, lunch & dinner. You can add on a breakfast to your package to save a little 💰. I highly recommend checking out both of these on your next trip to Universal Orlando Resort!

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗶𝘇𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗿𝘆 𝗣𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 - 𝗗𝗶𝗮𝗴𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗹𝗹𝗲𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝟭𝟬𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗮𝘁 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝗹 𝗢𝗿𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗼!

It’s honestly so immersive! Once you pass through the brick entrance, you can’t catch a glimpse of the Muggle world. Here's what you'll find in Diagon Alley once you enter:

🍻Florean Fortescue's Ice-Cream Parlour: Butterbeer ice cream is just the beginning! Other unique flavors on the menu include Granny Smith, Earl Grey and Lavender, Chocolate Chili, Sticky Toffee Pudding, Salted Caramel Blondie, Chocolate and Raspberry, and more

🐦‍⬛ Knockturn Alley: The Dark Arts are well represented

🛍️So Many Shops: you’ll feel like buying all of your school supplies for Hogwarts!

🚂 Hogwarts Express Photo Op: “Bust through” the brick wall and step onto platform 9 3/4

💰Gringotts Bank: Exchange Muggle money for Gringotts bank notes which can be used for purchases within Diagon Alley, Hogsmeade and at select locations throughout Universal Orlando Resort

Diagon Alley really does take on a life of its own. From the goblins in Gringotts (so real) to Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes, and of course the creepy darkness that is Borgin & Burkes that will have you looking over your shoulder! It's truly an area that you need to explore on your next visit to Universal Studios Florida theme park!
