Did you know you can meet Santa at Disney World without a park ticket?

If you'd like something to do on a non park day, head to Disney Springs to meet and visit Santa! In order to do this, you must enter a virtual queue to get a return time. Standby line will not be available.

For those of you that use the Standby Skipper app, it can book this for you!

Once you’ve arrived at Disney Springs, use the My Disney Experience app to enter the virtual queue to meet Santa Claus. There will be multiple opportunities to enter the virtual queue throughout the day, including:

9:00 AM
11:00 AM
1:00 PM
3:00 PM
6:00 PM

Santa is at Disney Springs from now until December 24th.

Happy Holidays!

Book with us! With me, preferably, lol

It’s no secret that we LOVE Disney Cruise Line and wholeheartedly believe in the value of a DCL vacation.

While anyone can press some buttons to book a trip, servicing your vacation is a completely different story. You might find yourself with a lot of questions. What milestone dates are there? Do I need a passport? What on earth is rotational dining? What is the best itinerary, stateroom, location, and ship for your must-haves? What time does the ship leave, and what time should I schedule flights and transportation? We have ALL the answers + more!

We have first-hand knowledge aboard Disney Cruise Line, both with/without kids and with multi-generational groups. We believe being familiar with the nuances of travel by personally experiencing numerous ports and ships is an absolute asset to our guests. Never miss out on important dates, learn our tips, and make sure all the T’s are crossed and I’s are dotted. We will be your go-to for all questions, and we’ve got you covered 🙂

When you book with us, you book because you want a great experience. You want the best value for your time and money, and we will provide that each time. You’re in good hands here, and we can’t wait to work with you on your next Disney Cruise Line sailing! 🚢

Happy National Cat Day! Disney has created so many cats over the years.

Do you have a favorite?

Mine is Lucifer from Cinderella. He's so spicy and lazy, and only loves his people. Pretty similar to my cat at home!

⚡️✨ HUGE Disney Lightning Lane News!! ✨⚡️

🗣 Disney Parks to Pilot New Option Called Lightning Lane Premier Pass

📣In the coming weeks, Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort will begin piloting a new service providing expedited entry to theme park attractions: Lightning Lane Premier Pass.

❗️Lightning Lane Premier Pass will be offered in very limited quantities and will give guests one-time entry to each available Lightning Lane entrance in the theme park they are visiting that day. This includes attractions included in both Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Single Pass, but with Lightning Lane Premier Pass, guests do not need to select an experience time. Lightning Lane Premier Pass will be a premium offering, and prices will vary based on the date and theme park guests are visiting.

🌟At Disneyland Resort, the Lightning Lane Premier Pass will be available first come, first served beginning two days in advance of a theme park reservation and will be valid for use in both theme parks. The first date it will be available is October 23, 2024.

💫At Walt Disney World, when Lightning Lane Premier Pass launches, it will be available to guests staying at Disney Deluxe or Deluxe Villa Resorts and may be purchased up to seven days in advance of their stay. It will only be valid for use in one park of the guest’s choice per day. The first date it will be available is October 30, 2024.

💲Prices for Lightning Lane Premier Passes vary by date and theme park. At launch, prices will range from $129 to $449 per pass, plus tax with the highest prices falling on a limited number of days over peak travel periods. Eligible guests will be able to view prices in the My Disney Experience app.

⚡️Looks as if this may be a much easier system. Pay one fee and get entrance into each Lightning Lane available at that park, once per person! Wow!

✨If any of my clients wish to upgrade their resort stay to Deluxe, please let me know!

Before we go back to our regularly scheduled content, I wanted to leave with a few resources if you’re interested in helping those impacted by hurricanes Helene & Milton. Some organizations we have found that are on ground doing a ton of hard work are:

Cajun Navy Relief
Samaritan’s Purse
Operation Airdrop

I’m sure there’s a lot of others doing amazing things too, I’m just highlighting some for monetary donations.

This week there’s supposed to be freezing temperatures in North Carolina, and so many are without homes, power, and resources. Please check your local groups for pickup/drop off locations for physical donations, we had a few locals we donated warm clothes to who personally drove them down, but there’s other organizations as well!

Our hearts go out to all those affected, and we thank you for keeping them in yours too. ❤️

Hello!

I am sure by now you have seen what is about to happen, again, to the state of Florida. We have a lot of guests on property, and a lot whose plans are affected. In addition, we also have agents, family, and friends that are local who are evacuating their homes.

We are sending so much love to our guests, agents, and vendor staff during this time. We also kindly ask for your patience, as both ourselves and our vendors like Disney and Universal are using all of their resources on impacted guests this upcoming week.

I feel it is not ethical for me to post about all the vacations things like nothing is happening this week, so as the days go on, I will be sharing more about helping. Thank you so much for giving us grace as we work hard to support our guests, and please keep those in the path of Hurricane Milton in your thoughts. We appreciate you, and thank you again!

Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party is full of frightfully delicious treats this year. Which ones look tempting to try? 🎃

Walt Disney World for a few days for an AEP (agent education program). Going to tour a few Disney Springs hotels and the Disney Wish.

So grateful to work with a host agency that provides opportunities for me to learn all I can and be the best agent I can be for my clients!
