We are home sweet home after the most amazing week! ๐ข
After some unfortunate luggage mishaps, we didnโt make it to our house until after 2am, so I have not been able to catch up on as many emails as I would have liked to today. Thank you for your patience as I am working hard to get back to everyone as soon as possible! ๐ฉต
Aulani
The character interactions at Aulani are so unique and fun! We spotted both Mickey & Moana greeting guests as they floated down the lazy river, Goofy *IN* the pool, and Mickey teaching hula lessons! I thought this was such a fun change from the typical meet & greets (which there were plenty of as well).
What is your favorite, out-of-the-box character experience at any Disney destination youโve visited?

Do you love park hopping? Then Disneyland is for you! Check out how easy it is to walk from California Adventure Park to Disneyland Park! ๐ฑ
The Disneyland Resort as a whole is completely walkable which is such a nice convenience! On this particular day, I walked from the Grand Californian to the Disneyland Hotel (passing Pixar Place/Paradise Pier Hotel on the way) and back. Then from the Grand Californian, we walked through Downtown Disney into the theme parks. No busses ever needed! ๐๐ป

Letโs take a tour of our Deluxe Club Level Room at Disneyโs Boardwalk Inn Resort! โจ
If you love character meet & greets, youโll love a Disney Cruise! โฅ๏ธ
This was just one dayโs schedule during our sailing last week and doesnโt even list the Marvel characters that we ran into that evening in the lobby!
Letโs start planning!! ๐ข
Our sailing is a Very Merrytime Christmas Cruise so there are fun holiday activities scheduled throughout the week. Last night, some special friends helped light the lobby Christmas tree! ๐โจ
We left Art of Animation and checked in to a Deluxe Room at Disneyโs Beach Club Resort today! ๐
These rooms are a great option for larger families (they sleep up to 6 guests ๐๐ป) or those who prefer a little extra space.
There are only a handful of them at the resort so I definitely recommend booking early if youโre interested in this room option.
On my way to see the Main Mouse! ยฐoยฐ
Iโll be out of office next week while at Walt Disney World, but please follow along here and on Instagram as I share all of my experiences! Whatโs on the itinerary for this week?
โจ Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind preview TODAY!!
โจ Split resort stay โ half at Art of Animation and half at Beach Club
โจ More Genie+ research (planning a mix of using G+ some days and not others to find the best game plan with and without the service)
โจ SO MANY great restaurants!! (Space 220, Hollywood Brown Derby, Artist Point, โOhana, etc.)

I will be back in office and catching up on emails on May 30th!
