The holiday season is officially in full swing, and what better way to celebrate the holidays than by traveling?

This year I decided to go on a short trip to London, one of my favorite cities, to see it dressed to the nines for Christmas. I spent four magical days wandering Christmas markets, taking photos of department store light displays, visiting the Harry Potter studios for Hogwarts in the Snow, watching West End shows and (my bucket list item) visiting the animatronic T-rex at London's Natural History Museum. And just in case you’re wondering, I absolutely bought the matching Christmas sweater. 🧑‍🎄🦖

Whether you're heading home to loved ones or setting off on a new adventure, travel makes the holidays feel even more special. What destination would you love to see during the holidays?

Every hero needs a place to rest after a day of battling villains (or just enjoying a day at sea.) A true hero's welcome is waiting for you onboard the Disney Destiny! 🦸‍♀️

Keeping with the ship’s unique theme, every stateroom and suite will showcase custom artwork depicting the epic journeys of famous Disney heroes and legends.

Lavishly appointed concierge staterooms and suites will draw you into the mysterious and fantastic world of Disney Animation’s “Fantasia” through elegant, watercolor-style artwork illustrating the rich color palette and otherworldly spectacle of the classic film.

Seven special oceanview concierge staterooms will be themed with the distinctive iconography of Pixar’s “The Incredibles," providing hero-worthy, awe-inspiring, floor-to-ceiling views. The four royal suites will celebrate the majestic powers and noble heroism at the heart of Disney Animation’s “Hercules” with Greco-Roman-inspired design elements, colors and patterns, and the boldly themed IncrediSuites will invoke the exhilarating exploits of “The Incredibles” through a streamlined mid-century modern aesthetic inspired by the Pixar films.

Which theme are you most excited for?

Ready to take your next vacation from zero to hero? 🏛️

Your favorite Greek demigod will take center stage onboard the Disney Destiny in an all-new, Broadway-style show, “Disney Hercules"

This lively retelling of the popular Walt Disney Animation Studios film will feature the iconic music and larger-than-life characters we all know and love from the original movie, presented in an all-new way. The Muses will play the pivotal role of the show’s storytellers, guiding the audience through a mythical tale of good versus evil, set to the iconic soundtrack’s pop and gospel influences.

But that's not the only broadway style entertainment Disney Destiny has onboard for you and your family! "Disney Hercules" will be one of three stage shows... yes, THREE shows are coming to the Disney Destiny. "Frozen, A Musical Spectacular" and "Disney Seas the Adventure", which features Disney and Pixar characters and signature Disney songs will join the lineup for a full set of favorites to add to your must do list.

✨Disney Destiny's Imaginative Dining Experiences await you and your family!✨

An all new dining experience, Pride Lands: Feast of The Lion King, will feature live musicians and storytellers using authentic African instruments and theatrical props to represent the story and characters from the beloved film, "The Lion King."

Two additional included rotational dining options return to Disney Destiny. We are all excited about the return of Worlds of Marvel! Superhero fans are excited by the action and surprises around each turn, while you enjoy an out-of-this-world meal. But my personal favorite is dining in style at 1923. Named for the founding year of The Walt Disney Company, 1923 will celebrate the legacy of Disney animation with more than 1,000 drawings and props showcasing tales of heroes and villains in “Hercules,” “Sleeping Beauty,” “Big Hero 6,” and “Wreck-It Ralph.”

Which dining experience on the Disney Destiny are you most looking forward to?

Each year my family and I like to celebrate the holiday season checking out the Christmas festivities at Walt Disney World. Last night we started a new family tradition of going to Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground for a Christmas sleigh ride! The horses at the barn are the same horses you see in the parade and pulling the trollies on Main Street. After visiting the horses, we were off on our sleigh ride through the campgrounds! Each RV had decorated their space with Christmas lights and inflatables. It’s something we’ll come back for year after year!

What Christmas tradition are you celebrating today?
