I have some cruisers going out in the next few weeks. Bon Voyage, cruisers!

I thought I'd highlight some different cruise lines over the next few months so you can pick which would work best for your family!

Let's start by setting sail on a Magical Adventure with Disney Cruises!

Looking for a vacation that combines the magic of Disney with the luxury of a cruise? 🚢✨ Here’s why Disney Cruises are unlike any other:

✨ Unique Disney Entertainment: From Broadway-style musicals and deck parties with fireworks at sea to exclusive movie screenings and themed pirate nights, every day is filled with magic and excitement. 🎭🎆

🍽️ Themed Dining Experiences: Dine in enchanted settings like “Animator’s Palate,” where your surroundings come to life, or “Rapunzel's Royal Table,” with its festive atmosphere. Every meal is an experience, with cuisine crafted by world-class chefs. 🍝👑

🛳️ Family-Friendly Accommodations: Spacious staterooms designed with families in mind include split bathrooms, extra storage, and even magical portholes with animated views. 🏰🌠

👶 Dedicated Kids' Clubs: Themed spaces for every age group with activities led by Disney-trained counselors—from character interactions to Jedi Training! Kids can enjoy their own adventures while adults unwind. 🌟⚔️

👗 Adult-Exclusive Spaces: Enjoy elegant lounges, fine dining, quiet pools, and a luxurious spa for adults while the kids are off having their own fun. 🍷🧖‍♀️

🌴 Exciting Destinations & Private Island Paradise: Explore the Caribbean, Europe, Alaska, and beyond, including a stop at Disney’s private island, Castaway Cay—a tropical oasis with white-sand beaches and fun activities for all ages. 🏝️☀️

No matter where you sail, Disney Cruises ensure every moment is filled with joy, wonder, and unforgettable memories!

Volcano Bay at Universal Orlando has a little something extra special. It's two words: Tapu Tapu. A waterproof wristband that acts as a virtual ride queuing system, allowing guests to avoid waiting in line! Simply tap the device on the pad at the ride you want to experience and wait to be alerted it's your turn!

Go in the lazy river, wave pool, relax, eat, shop...whatever you want until it's your turn. You can also use the Tapu Tapu to pay for things, as an interactive game, for photo opportunities, and locker rentals.
Want to check out what all the hype is about? It's not too late to book a 2024 Universal vacation and 2025 brings along with it some EPIC openings!

✈️ TSA PreCheck vs. CLEAR vs. Regular Security Line: Which Is Right for You? ✈️

I've been doing a comparison of the different security lines at the airport and here's what I found!

I started off using Clear, while my husband went through the regular line.

Nashville Airport:
With Clear- 6 minutes
Regular Line- 17 minutes

Orlando Airport:
Clear with only 1 worker- 16 minutes
Regular line- 22 minutes

Then we did TSA precheck and at the Nashville airport it was 5 minutes total for both of us to go through on a Holiday weekend, mid-morning.

Next, I'm going to use Clear with TSA PreCheck. I'll update tomorrow!

Here are the differences.

TSA PreCheck: Skip the long lines and keep your shoes, belt, and light jacket on. Enjoy a quicker, stress-free security experience without removing your laptop or liquids. Perfect for frequent travelers who want a faster, more predictable process! 🌟

CLEAR: Breeze past the ID check with a simple biometric scan—like your eyes or fingertips. Combine it with TSA PreCheck for the ultimate speed through airport security! Great for tech-savvy travelers who value convenience and extra-fast service! 🚀 CLEAR moves you straight to the front of the regular line.

Regular Line: The standard security process where all travelers pass through. It’s free, but can be time-consuming with longer waits and additional checks. Not ideal if you're in a hurry or travel often! ⏳

I really like using Clear and using it along with TSA PreCheck will be extra great! My husband really likes TSA PreCheck because he doesn't have to take off his belt or shoes. If you travel fairly often, it's about $80 for 5 years so definitely worth it!

Choose the best option for your travel style, and make your airport experience smoother and faster!

We're in the beautiful mountains of Utah this weekend. I can't get over how amazing it is to have huge mountains surrounding you at all angles! We visited Bridal Veil Falls which was a quick, easy drive into the canyon and a quick, easy hike up.

P.S. it was 74 degrees in the afternoon in August and the shade actually cooled you down. 🤪 it's very different than August in Tennessee! 🤣

✨ The time I traveled to... St. Louis! ✨

We had an amazing time exploring St. Louis without breaking the bank! Most of the things we did were free, making it perfect for a low-cost adventure. 🎉 We wandered through the fascinating Laumeier Sculpture Park 🎨, enjoyed a day with animals at the St. Louis Zoo 🐒, and marveled at the views from the top of the iconic Gateway Arch 🌉. We unleashed our inner children at the unique City Museum 🏰, and topped it all off with a delicious treat from Ted Drewes Frozen Custard 🍦.

St. Louis is full of surprises and incredible experiences for any budget! Have you been yet? ✈️

So often I hear people say, "We are going to wait to do Disney until they are older". I disagree. Take them! They may not remember, but YOU will!
-Plus children under 3 years old are free!
-There is still so much for them to experience - rides, entertainment, sensory experiences!
-Depending on their age - they will very likely recognize and interact with many characters!
-Adults will have the memories (and cute pictures) of all the family with a fun bonding experience!

If you're planning a trip to Epcot and looking for a unique experience that goes beyond the attractions and rides, let me introduce you to one of Epcot’s hidden gems—the Behind the Seeds tour! 🌿 We did this tour on our last trip and loved it. During Covid, I became a plant lover and suddenly I got a green thumb so it was right up my alley!

This special tour takes you on a journey through the greenhouses of The Land Pavilion, where you’ll uncover the fascinating world of agriculture, innovation, and sustainability that fuels Epcot’s dedication to creating a better planet. Here’s why this tour should be on your must-do list:

1. Explore Epcot’s Greenhouses Up Close
The Behind the Seeds tour gives you an insider’s look at the incredible greenhouses that produce some of the food served right there at the park. You’ll walk among thriving crops, see the latest in plant-growing technology, and learn about Epcot’s commitment to sustainable farming practices.

2. Hands-On Experiences
This isn’t just a passive tour! You’ll have the opportunity to engage with the environment—whether it’s feeding fish, releasing ladybugs, getting up close with exotic plants, or tasting freshly harvested produce. You’ll walk away with a new appreciation for where your food comes from!

3. Perfect for Nature Lovers & Curious Minds
Whether you have a green thumb or are just curious about how Disney creates such stunning landscapes, this tour offers insights into the science behind the magic. It’s an educational experience that’s perfect for families, aspiring gardeners, or anyone who loves learning something new while having fun.

4. Behind-the-Scenes Disney Magic
Part of what makes Disney so special is the magic happening behind the scenes. On this tour, you get a rare peek into the innovative techniques Disney uses to grow everything from traditional crops to exotic produce in ways that are both environmentally friendly and incredibly cool to see. AJ Loved this part the most.

5. A Relaxing & Educational Break from the Rides
Epcot is known for its thrilling attractions and world-class dining, but the Behind the Seeds tour offers a slower pace and a chance to recharge while still exploring something truly extraordinary. It’s the perfect way to balance out your day with a mix of adventure and discovery.

6. A Great Value
Priced affordably compared to many other Disney tours, Behind the Seeds offers a lot of bang for your buck. You’ll spend about an hour exploring, learning, and getting inspired—all for a cost that won’t break the bank.

So, if you're looking to add a little extra magic to your Epcot day, consider stepping behind the scenes—literally! It’s an experience you won’t soon forget and a unique way to connect with the natural world while enjoying everything Disney has to offer.
