Happy Veteran's Day to all of the men & women who have served. Thank you for your many sacrifices. 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
Aquaduck
REALITY CHECK There isn't as much pre-planning for a Disney Cruise vacation as there is for a theme park trip, but there are still many things to know. For instance, let's talk pool slides. Here are three things to know before you go:
Each pool slide has specific height and safety requirements-measure your kids ahead of time to avoid disappointment
The least crowded times to enjoy the slides are as soon as you board on embarkation day, early mornings and late afternoons (right before the first dinner seating). Also, right before they close at night.
Some slides have enclosed sections and others are fully enclosed. If enclosed spaces are worrisome, it may be best to avoid the AquaDuck, AquaDunk and AquaMouse
The Aquaduck was hands down my 13yo and 9yo's favorite activity on the ship, they mastered the best times to ride and rode it over and over!

Next stop on our Walt Disney World Resort tour was the Polynesian Resort.
The Polynesian Resort is located near the Magic Kingdom and has access to Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, The Contemporary Resort, and The Grand Floridian Resort by monorail. Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom are a bus ride away.
The Poly rooms have recently been renovated with a Moana theme. You can also find luxurious over-water bungalows at the Polynesian!
Did you know there are only balconies outside rooms on the third floor and higher so guests are protected from the Menehune?! The Menehune are a part of Hawaiian folklore. According to Hawaiian legends the Menehune are a group of little people who live in the mountains and forests of Hawaii. They were mischievous, but also extraordinary craftsmen.

My review of MagicBand+
MagicBand+ was released while I was at Walt Disney World, so I picked one up to try it out for my clients.
MagicBand+ does all the things a regular MagicBand does - enter Disney Parks, enter Lightening Lanes, unlock Disney resorts, easily make purchases and apply to your card on file. But, also has some added features - Find the Disney Fab 50 Character Collection sculptures throughout Walt Disney World Resort and experience the magic, watch your MagicBand+ come alive when watching Nighttime Spectaculars, and become a bounty hunter in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge!
✨My Review✨
If you are visiting Walt Disney World for more than a day, a regular MagicBand is definitely worth it! MagicBand+ is neat, but I don't think everyone in your party has to purchase one. They are priced higher and if your family has one or two of them everyone will get to enjoy the added features of the bands. The MagicBand+ has to be charged for the added features, if it loses charge you can still use it as a regular MagicBand. Both types of bands can be used for multiple trips and MagicBand+ is coming to Disneyland!

Congrats @mrstracy007 you won a $20 Starbucks gift card! Thank you to everyone for voting your favorite attraction and Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando!
On my most recent Walt Disney World vacation, I fell in love with the Skyliner!! It was so easy to hop on at my resort and fly over to EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, or any of the resorts along the way!
Art of Animation & Pop Century share a loading station, Caribbean Beach Resort is the main hub - where you can climb aboard a gondola to Hollywood Studios or Disney's Riviera Resort then EPCOT. The stop at EPCOT lets you off near the International Gateway and all of the EPCOT resorts - Yacht & Beach Club, Boardwalk, Swan/Dophin, and Swan Reserve. It's so convenient!!

Over the next few days I am covering some common mistakes we see at the Happiest Place on Earth:
Planning a trip to WDW takes a lot of thought and planning. That’s why you have me, right?
Mistake #3 – Not budgeting in advance. This is especially true for food and merchandise. Scope out menus ahead of time and don’t impulse purchase. Try to go in with a PLAN and a budget and stick to it.
Pro Tip - save money on Disney souvenirs by buying them ahead of time and taking them with you. Target has a great selection and shop Disney runs sales from time to time. It's also a great idea to buy light sticks and light up toys, put them in your park bag and pull them out at firework time!

Over the next few days I am covering some common mistakes we see at the Happiest Place on Earth:
Planning a trip to WDW takes a lot of thought and planning. That’s why you have me, right?
Did you know there are over 200 places to eat at Walt Disney World?
Mistake #1 – Not reserving table service meals in advance. You’ll need to make a reservation for sit down meals 60 days prior to your arrival. And, beware … they go fast, especially signature and character experiences. I will help you narrow down and select the best restaurants for your family and make your dining reservations for you!
Send me a message when you’re ready to plan your next trip to Walt Disney World. Remember to book well in advance, even six to nine months.

Many of my clients want to visit both Walt Disney World and Universal when coming to the Orlando area. They want to visit both Galaxy's Edge and the Star Wars attractions as well as visit Hogsmeade and experience all of the Harry Potter attractions!
My reco is stay on property at both! There are so many benefits to staying at each (proximity to the park, early park entry, dining reservation advantages, Universal premier tier hotels include unlimited express passes, pool hopping at most Universal hotels, and more!!
Send me a message today for a quote for your Walt Disney World and Universal vacation!

THE DISNEY SKYLINER
The Skyliner is the newest form of transportation on property having opened in September of 2019. It connects four resorts with EPCOT and Hollywood Studios. The system is easy to navigate, convenient and the views while riding are mesmerizing. I'm so excited to be staying at POP Century in a few weeks on the Skyliner - it was one of the main reasons I booked here!
Have you had the chance to experience it? Did you love it? Fill us in on your experience!
