Hi everyone! We are back home safe and have tons of tips and things to share once we are settled back in.

Hurricanes updates: Praying for everyone in the areas that the hurricane will hit! The Orlando airport is now closed until at least tomorrow but most people have been scheduled out on flights starting Saturday if their flight was canceled (although people who already had flights booked for Friday should be OK). Disney is closing the parks early today and for now will be closed tomorrow as well and then they will reassess things.

The hotels (with the exception of the cabins and a few others) will remain open and will extend stays for guests who are stuck there but are not taking any new bookings until the storm is over in order to keep their existing guest safe and sheltered.

If you have family in Disney not to worry they are making sure that everyone is having an awesome time and is safe. Our family always says our best trip was when we were stuck there during a hurricane! Weather was beautiful when we left yesterday and lines were super short -the bulk of the hurricane effects will be seen later today and overnight.

As Walt Disney World deluxe resort guests you will get access to the extended evening hours perk that lets you stay in a park about 2 hours after it closes on select nights!!

Usually it’s Epcot and Magic kingdom 1x per week each BUT during the Halloween season they tend to switch things up - looks like we have some Hollywood studios extra evening nights this season too!!

So useful when strategizing which genie passes to book first! Remember now passes can be booked 7 days prior to your trip for your entire trip!

My clients will also get my custom tip sheets and strategies but this is a good place to start!

The time at which each attraction at Walt Disney World sells out of Genie+/Individual Lightning Lane each day and the past 30 days.

so much fun working on this group river cruise trip!! I love coordinating group trips like this! In addition to the benefit of having me to help to coordinate the group from start to finish (from picking the perfect cruise line, itenerary, dates, rooms, and price point that works for everyone in the group), many times we have access to group rates to to help clients to pay less than booking on their own. Woohoo !!
