Ready to catch the Festival of Fantasy parade? Here's the scoop: The parade hits the streets at 12:00 PM and 3:00 PM, kicking off from the back of the park in Frontierland. 🎉 Skip the crowds on Main Street and opt for a prime viewing spot between Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe and the hub—this bridge boasts benches for a comfy wait and ample chances for character interactions. No need to camp out! If you prefer a view from Main Street, tuck into the mini hub near the entrance and the emporium, but be prepared for a short wait before the parade rolls by. 🎈🎶

During my time on the program, it was a well-known fact that I'd often distribute stickers from the merchandise locations to kids, particularly to ease their tiredness or hunger. I vividly recall one family passing through my line while I was at the register. Their little girl was clearly exhausted and hungry, on the brink of a meltdown. As I rang up their items, I engaged the family in conversation and then turned to the distraught child, inquiring about her day. Upon concluding our chat, I offered her several different character stickers. To my delight, her tears ceased, and she beamed as if receiving the most treasured gift of the day. ✨👧🏻🎈

Walt Disney himself envisioned this attraction for the 1964-65 New York World's Fair. Following its success, the attraction journeyed to Disneyland from 1967 to 1973, before finding its permanent home at Magic Kingdom in 1975. It stands as a testament to Walt's creative genius, making it the only attraction in Disney World to have received his personal touch and graced both Disneyland and Disney World. 🎩✨

Embark on an out-of-this-world adventure aboard Smugglers Run in Chewie mode! 🚀 Pilots, heed this advice: before activating your controls, shift them to the far left or far right and far up or far down. Meanwhile, crew members, ensure you hit one of the white buttons on your controls before pressing the orange activation button. Remember, all actions must be completed before the cabin is secured by the cast member. Feeling overwhelmed? Don't fret! Simply ask the cast member for assistance, and they may just sprinkle your cockpit with a touch of pixie dust. ✨

Once upon a time in Hollywood Studios, there existed a magical corner known as the Streets of America. Here, the legendary Osborne Spectacle of Dancing Lights illuminated the holiday season with its dazzling brilliance. ✨🎄 However, this enchanting space eventually gave way to the arrival of Star Wars' Galaxy's Edge, marking a thrilling new chapter in the park's history.

The tale of the Osborne lights traces back to 1986 in Little Rock, AR, where a dedicated family began a Christmas tradition unlike any other. 🌟 Over the years, this luminous display grew in grandeur, captivating hearts and minds with its enchanting glow. After much ado and a series of legal battles, the Walt Disney Company extended a gracious invitation to house the Spectacle at MGM Studios (now Hollywood Studios) in 1993, where it flourished into a breathtaking showcase of over 5 million lights. ✨🎆

While the Spectacle bid farewell to Hollywood Studios on January 3, 2016, its radiant legacy lives on at Give Kids the World Village, where it continues to spread joy and magic during the "Night of a Million Lights" celebration. 🏰💖

During my husband's inaugural visit to Disney World, we made a delightful stop at the Polynesian. I eagerly showcased one of my beloved resorts to him, and we popped by Capt'n Hooks for his inaugural taste of the famous dole whip. 🍍🍦 Imagine our surprise when a kind-hearted cast member, overhearing it was his very first one, graciously treated us both to a dole whip on the spot—a heartwarming gesture to commemorate our special moment together. 💖

While the cuisine might not be renowned for its sheer brilliance, the ambiance was nothing short of extraordinary. Perhaps it was my serendipitous introduction to character dining during my tenure at WDW, or the cherished memories made with roommates and family that always stole the spotlight. 🌟✨ In the realm of luxury, it's the shared moments and cherished connections that truly elevate the dining experience to unparalleled heights of delight and wonder! 🍽️🥂

Character dining is such a great way to meet multiple characters without a wait!

Have you tried any of these? Which one is your favorite?

In the world of Disney, preparation is key to unlocking the ultimate enchantment! ✨🎢 When venturing into the parks, it's all about having a thoughtful game plan. Allow me to introduce you to the 3/2/1 rule—a little magic formula I swear by.

Here's the scoop: Pick 3 must-do attractions, sprinkle in 2 delightful experiences (think meet-and-greets or captivating shows), and top it off with 1 unforgettable table service dining experience each day. Whether it's a special party or a themed after-hours event, this rule ensures you make the most of every moment, without missing a beat of the magic.

Trust me, I learned this invaluable lesson the hard way during a very merry Christmas party years ago. While we had a jolly good time, we realized the importance of having a solid game plan to truly maximize the magic of the moment. 🎄💫

Working at a resort offers the wonderful opportunity to foster connections with our guests. I had the pleasure of assisting a particular guest upon their arrival, guiding them through the intricacies of the Dining Plan. Throughout their stay, we crossed paths nearly every day, and I made a point to check in on their experience regularly. While I always strive to provide exceptional service to every guest, I didn't anticipate the profound impact of these interactions.

Weeks later, I received a heartfelt note from the guest, expressing gratitude for the care I had taken in ensuring their comfort and understanding during their stay. This gesture not only left me deeply touched but also reinforced the importance of personalized service in my approach to serving each and every one of our valued clients.

Dole Whip days! 🍍🍍🍍🍍

🍍 Dole whips aren’t just served in Magic Kingdom y’all! You can get them in all parks you just need to know where!!!

🍍 I think I might have to go get a frozen drink or ice cream now… as looking at this pic is making me hungry/thirsty… question… does it make you hungry or thirsty? Is it a drink or a food?!? Cause by the end it’s deffo a liquid?! 🤣🤣🤣
