3 years ago I was at Magic Kingdom for the kick off to The World’s Most Magical Celebration! It was a crazy and insane day but I was so grateful to be there. Guests received a special poster as they exited the park. The longest lines I stood in that day was for food and my popcorn bucket 🤣🤣. Did you visit Disney during their 18 month anniversary celebration? I was there multiple times. I went for the first day and the last day!

It’s October 1st so that only means 2 things…Happy Birthday Magic Kingdom and Epcot! Both parks opened on this day. Magic Kingdom opened 1971 and Epcot 1982!

💙 Tuesday Hot Tip 💜

Disney offers Resort refillable mugs. With the Disney Dining Plans each guest 3yrs and up will receive a free mug. If you don’t purchase a dining plan the mugs are available for purchase. Each resort will have them. Currently this is the design with four different color lids. Different color lids can be helpful keeping track of who’s mug is who’s. Mugs can be refilled at ANY RESORT on property. Each mug has a unique chip inside to tell you how long your free refills are AND a timer. The timer is so you’re not overusing the system. You can refill your mugs every 90 or so seconds. All you do is place the mug on the platform and tap the drink you want. The small screen on the machines will give you refills dates and/or however long you need to wait between refills.
NEVER put these mugs in the microwave!!!

How many of these resort mugs have you collected over the years?? I plead the fifth 😶

Pictures are referenced from Disney Destination and MDE mobile ordering! 😀

Today is the Big Day!
Bye Bye Genie+ and Hello Lightning Lane Multi or Individual Pass.
Now this is all based off today. Prices will vary. This system combines both the old fast pass system with Genie+. Selections can be made after purchase 7 days prior to your Disney resort check in. 3 of the 4 parks have attractions in two tiers. AK is the only park running with one tier. 3 selections to start and after the first one you’ll be able to book another. The complimentary genie service will still be in your MDE with your Tip Board. I’m going to continue to learn more about this new system. But here are some screenshots from what I’ve been able to gather so far with kick off day!! If you have any questions please feel free to reach out.

Happy 30th Birthday Tower of Terror!! ⚡️

Now this is a thrill ride! Disney did an incredible job creating this ride. Who else just loves this ride? I definitely do! It’s a must ride every trip to Hollywood Studios. What is your favorite part about the ride? The Garden? The Lobby? The Basement? The Library? Or just the thrill of falling? This ride does hit many of your senses all at once. Disney even made a movie based off the ride extending the story (last photo in album). Tell me about your experience with this incredible ride in Hollywood Studios.

🍿 Hot Tip Tuesday 🍿

This hidden gem is getting more and more popular. And I definitely can see why! This is the best snack on your way out of the park or grabbing before the parade or fireworks.
In the back of the Magic Kingdom Confectionary is a Build Your Own Popcorn 🍿 They offer unique flavor combos (some seasonal flavors) or you can pick your own!
1. Choose your popcorn 🍿
2. Choose toppings 2 or 3 🍬🥜
3. Choose your sauce 🍫
4. Watch the magic be made 😁

I can post a video in the comments of mine! I built my own last October. Got it the night before my flight. Put it in my popcorn bucket for the flight and ate it as soon as I got home!!
Put this on your list of snacks to get!!
