PPV Tip: Take advantage of discounted Disney gift cards such as deals that Sam's may run or if you have a Target credit card you can purchase Disney gift cards at 5% off. Use these gift cards to put towards the balance of your trip. Every little bit helps!

✨Magical Monday ✨ 👑Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique 👑✨

Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique is a popular attraction at Disney World, Disneyland, and Disney Cruise Line that offers a unique and magical experience for young princesses. This enchanting salon is dedicated to making fairy tale dreams come true.

Here, little girls can receive the full princess treatment, complete with hairstyling, makeup, and a stunning costume fit for royalty. The salon features several different packages to choose from, each offering different levels of pampering and transformation.

The salon is staffed by friendly and knowledgeable fairy godmothers who are trained in the art of princess transformations. They are experts at making young princesses feel special and creating memories that will last a lifetime.

Overall, Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique is a must-visit attraction for any young princess who dreams of living in a fairy tale. With its enchanting atmosphere and talented fairy godmothers, it is sure to make your Disney visit even more magical.

I know my little princess sure felt amazing that day. She got pampered on our Disney cruise in 2023 and already has asked if she can do it again on our cruise in Jan 2026. The picture of her when she gets turned around to see herself in the mirror for the first time is the most precious thing I've seen.

Exciting news! I've just added Virgin Cruise Line to my portfolio. 🌊🚢

I was incredibly impressed during the training and learning about what makes this cruise line unique.

💃🕺Adults-Only Experience – Unlike most cruise lines that cater to families, Virgin Voyages is strictly 18+, creating a more sophisticated and relaxed atmosphere.

🍽️No Buffets, No Main Dining Hall – Instead of traditional cruise dining, Virgin offers over 20 unique, high-end eateries, many created by Michelin-starred chefs—at no extra charge.

👌🏻Always-Included Perks – WiFi, gratuities, group fitness classes, and essential drinks (like sodas, coffee, and juices) are all included in the fare, avoiding the nickel-and-diming common on other cruises.

🚢 Modern & Stylish Ships – With a sleek, yacht-like design, Scarlet Lady and her sister ships feel more like floating boutique hotels than traditional cruise ships.

🎤Epic Entertainment – Say goodbye to traditional cruise shows. Virgin features immersive, edgy performances, nightclub-style parties, and unexpected pop-up acts.

🧘🏻Wellness-Focused – From sunrise yoga to high-tech gyms and a massive spa, Virgin Voyages prioritizes well-being with plenty of opportunities to recharge.

⏱️Flexible, Casual Atmosphere – No formal dress codes, no rigid dining times, and a focus on freedom and flexibility make it perfect for modern travelers who want to sail their own way.

🌙Unique Destinations & Late Stays – Many itineraries include late-night or overnight port stays, allowing for more immersive experiences on land.

Virgin Voyages is for travelers who want a cruise without the clichés—just bold experiences, great food, and effortless luxury at sea.
