I wish I could bring everyone to Disney, and show them what it can look like. ⁣

So often I hear people say, “I’ll never go because…” they’ve heard something about it or they assume it is a certain way. ⁣

It definitely can be sweaty and expensive. And just go ahead and bet that somebody is going to walk right in front of you in a crowded spot. ⁣

But it’s also, twinkly lights reflecting on water. It’s holding your kid’s hand as they ride their first roller coaster. Its smiling til your cheeks hurt on an exhilarating ride. It’s your toddler on your lap, looking up at fireworks, saying “wow!” It’s eating something delicious together. It’s pool games, water slides, and a drink with your spouse. It’s something new every time. It’s familiar streets, sounds, smells. ⁣

It’s time away, building memories with your people… in a world of pure imagination.

Fort wilderness is a vacation in a vacation- the tranquil atmosphere, the recreation, there’s a fun dinner show!

It’s a boat ride away from Magic Kingdom.

And it sleeps 6- so great option for families with 3-4 kids!

21/03/2024

⬇️ 3 reasons to consider a stay in a Fort Wilderness Cabin. ⁣
1. Boat ride away from Magic Kingdom ⁣
2. Sleeps up to 6 guests- great for families with 4 kids. ⁣
3. Vacation within a vacation- the tranquil atmosphere and the recreation make Fort wilderness its own vacation destination! ⁣

This is on my Disney bucket list! I love the grounds at Fort Wilderness. ⁣

Random video because I don’t have any recent photos/videos to post. But I can message you photos of the new cabins, if you’re interested! 😍⁣

These always book fast! So if you’re considering it, get it booked with a 3 day hold! Deposit of $200 after the hold, balance due at checkin!

Ok… if you have to go during a major holiday… it’s going to be CROWDED. Have y’all seen the spring break videos? 😬⁣

1️⃣ Tip number one is always going to be to pick less crowded times to travel, if you can! Late August/ September are notoriously less crowded times. ⁣

2️⃣ Purchase genie+ and individual Lightning lanes. I know… we don’t want to spend any more money. But I include the cost in our budget. This line was over an hour for Big Thunder Mountain. My family was on and off in around 20 minutes with genie+⁣

3️⃣ Rope drop. Rope drop means you go there first… and early! If the park opens at 8:30 for early entry… you want to be at the gate by 8! Technically you’re just pre-waiting. But it helps you accomplish more throughout the day. ⁣

4️⃣ set realistic expectations. Let everyone in the family, pick their one must do for the day. Or you choose the top 3-5 things. Have a strategy to get those done and then everything else is the cherry(s) on top! ⁣

5️⃣ find areas in the parks that are less popular for a people break. My group can be overstimulated by people. We are not extroverts at all. So we have escaped to less crowded areas for a reset! ⁣

6️⃣ most important! Take a deep breath and smile! Everybody there is expecting to have a happy/ magical day but they are probably dealing with unmet expectations. Set the tone for your family by smiling and enjoying what you get to do! ⁣

Vacation is one week of the year for us, so I’m trying to make sure we have lots of fun and rest scheduled in! Set your priorities before you go. Make a plan. Have fun!

Crowds can be unpredictable but I like looking at crowd calendars. I usually compare them to get a general idea of what to expect for certain dates.

You can still have fun despite the crowds if you go in expecting them and if you have a plan! 🧞‍♂️📝

Just a reminder that I help with all of that… Whether you do it all on your own, or you book through me, it’s going to cost you the same!
But as an added bonus, I keep up with what discounts are released and can go in and modify your reservation if an applicable one comes out!

My trip is just about 2 months away and hopefully the green crowd predictions are right! 🤞🏻

If you’re thinking of going, let’s get planning!

Been *very* busy at Walt Disney World lately. Here's what to expect for the rest of the year - https://wdwprepschool.com/disney-world-crowd-calendar/

A lot of the frustrations people have with their trip or trying to plan it, is because they expected something different… or they just didn’t know! It can be a lot!
If you’re just getting started, here’s a jumping off point.
But I’ll be honest, I would start with number 4…

The biggest mistake you can make when planning your Disney trip is… trying to do everything!
I can’t tell you how many trips it took for me to see the majority of Epcot. For years, it never failed someone ended up sick on our Epcot day. And even on the trips where we have had no issues, there is just no way possible to do it all.
The best trips we have had are the ones where we just enjoyed what we got to. I tell my clients all the time that your kids are going to have fun doing what you can, with happy parents. They don’t know every single thing Disney world has to offer! Enjoy the moment and make some magical memories!
A good, reasonable plan helps. I give my clients tips and itineraries so that they can have an idea of what is realistic and make the most of it! Don’t try to do everything. Trust me, it’s not worth it!

For the value resort category, Pop Century is my go to! The theming is a lot of fun and having two transportation options is 👌🏻.
Choosing a resort for each trip is an exciting part of the planning process and you’re dreams, for this particular vacation, help narrow it down. I try to stay at a new resort as often as possible, so that I have the best information to base my options on. And that helps me help you! I want you to have a good time in the parks… and all the moments in between!

That feeling when it’s Friday… and you’re one day closer to your next Disney trip!

Are you a morning person when it comes to Disney? Or does the idea of waking up early on vacation sound terrible? I’ve been both people, in the same trip. Lol and I can help both types, make a plan! ⬇️⁣
I love early morning walks, at the resort. Beating some of the crowds to the park. The parks are so beautiful with less people 😅 photos for proof.
In fact, I have been known to dress a toddler in their park day clothes, the night before! ⁣
🧞‍♂️But as my kids have gotten older, we’ve worked some later mornings in to our go-to plans. And this is especially doable with genie+. ⁣
🌅But if you’re not using genie+, having the 30 min early entry, given exclusively to resort guests, is a great head start to the day! ⁣
⚡️On your energetic days, taking advantage of both, is going to really maximize your time on rides! ⁣
Alternating early mornings/sleeping in ✔️✔️

Need help coming up with a plan? I send a suggested itinerary to my clients. If you want to sleep in, I can make suggestions for that. Early birds, I got you! Which parks are worth rope dropping? I have an opinion on that too! Ha ⁣

What does it cost to be my client and get all this info? Nothing! You’re paying Disney the same amount of money either way. And I’m going to spend time making sure you’re getting the best deal. So possibly helping you find savings!

Families like this one are so much fun to plan for. They had a blast and took all of my tips, and suggested plans, and ran with it! ❤️⁣
They truly understood the assignment! Ha ⁣
And now we are finalizing the details for their next trip in just a couple months! 🗓️
I can’t wait to live vicariously through them! ⁣

For some months (especially end of August/September), you can enjoy some of the lowest crowds and prices but the cost can be high temps! Here are some tips for managing the heat, while still enjoying your Disney World vacation! With a good plan, you can have a great trip, no matter the weather! If you need help planning, contact me. No charge and you get some extra insight, tips, the latest info, someone to watch for discounts, and more!

Today is Dining Day for one of my September clients! She wanted all the character dining! So at 5 am on the dot, I was making her dining reservations! I got everything she wanted; Crystal Palace, Tusker House, Hollywood & Vine- with Fantasmic seating, Topolinos Terrace and Garden Grill! ⁣

This is a service I offer all of my clients that book a package through me! It would be very unlikely to be able to walk up to a character dining restaurant (or most table service restaurants) and get a table without a reservation. And reservations for these popular restaurants go fast! ⁣

If you’re booking your own trip, your best chance is making them at 5 am CST, 60 days before check-in.⁣

But you should really just book through me and let me make them for you. Especially since it doesn’t cost you anything extra, this way!

Ok… it feels early. But, we are over halfway to Christmas! If you’re thinking of giving your family the gift of magical memories, let’s start planning! You will be immersed in all things Christmas, starting in November. There will be huge Christmas trees, decorated resorts and parks, holiday flavored treats, Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, Santa will be visiting the parks… and more! Discounts are available and my services are free! Give the gift of Disney this year! It’s sure to be memorable!

We try to choose low crowd times for our personal trips. But that’s not always possible! Having some ideas in your back pocket for if/when someone in your party starts to feel overwhelmed, can really help! ⁣

When things feel a little too “people-y”, here are a few suggestions… ⁣

🌳When you’re feeling a little overwhelmed by the amount of people around you, this is a great time to go to a less popular spot and relax a little. Tom Sawyer’s Island in Magic Kingdom (pictured) is great for that! ⁣
🏊🏻‍♀️Maybe take a break from the parks and enjoy the amenities at your resort. There are often pool parties, crafts, games and more going on. Or just go soak up some a/c in your room and head back to the park that evening!⁣
🐻 Many of the shows are easy to get into. You get to sit down for a minute and cool off. Win win! This is how we saw Country Bear Jamboree for the first time. Have y’all seen it? Crazy lol⁣
🚝 Riding the monorail around some of the deluxe resorts is one of our favorite things to do. You can get off at the Contemporary, Grand Floridian and Polynesian resorts. While there, grab a snack and/or check out the gift shops. Or just sit and people watch in the lobby for a bit… and enjoy the a/c! (Noticing a trend, here?)⁣
🧞‍♂️And if you don’t want to waste any park time, genie+ is going to be your friend! This extra purchase each day, helps you make the most of your time by scheduling Lightning Lane Passes for rides/shows. (Skipping the line)⁣

Need help planning when to go? Want more tips? Did you know Disney has already built travel agent commissions into the price of your vacation- whether you use one or not? The price is the same regardless! Message me and let’s start planning a fun vacation! ⁣

Btw- September is historically the month with the lowest crowds. There is still plenty of time to plan a trip. And many discounts available!

My love for Disney

I married into a Disney World loving family. I didn’t quite get it on my first trip. But we have been every year for the past 6 years (Since my oldest daughter turned 1). Now, Disney World to me is much more than a theme park. We measure our children’s heights in Disney Rides. We can remember special moments with parents, grandparents, siblings, cousins. Whether it was on a ride with an unexpected drop. Or, having to get up and sing in a crowded restaurant. We have so many joy filled memories at Disney destinations, it is now embedded into our core being. I cannot wait to share our family “secrets’ and help other families with their trips! I would be thrilled to help you with any of the Disney Destinations (Disneyland, Disney World, Adventures by Disney, Aulani, a Disney cruise)!
