So true, Jason Kelce: “Just go with what the day is”Keep your plans flexible and fluid. Have a few “must dos” for each park, but be ready to pivot. Rides can break down, crowds can be higher than anticipated, it can rain… the list goes on. Also, remember that the real magic is in the unplanned moments: ✨ The quick stop at Club Cool to watch everyone make a face when they try the Beverly✨ The spontaneous dance party with a bubble wand while waiting for big brother and sisters to get off Tower of Terror ✨ The endless giggles as delirium sets in after a long day …times like these are when real memories are made. When we plan your trip together, I’ll help you with details like:🏰 which park you plan on going to each day 🏰 a max of 1 dining reservation per day (any more than that is usually overkill) 🏰 ideas for quick service locations for a quick delicious lunch (so many more options than just a burger and fries!) 🏰 which lightning lanes to prioritize 🏰 when your rest day will be🏰 tips and tricks with the Disney World app and My Disney Experience so that you feel like a pro 🏰 the best ways to get from point a to point b (monorail, skyliner, bus, boat, walk?) Listen to the New Heights and go with the flow to have the most magical family vacation ✨ #gowiththeflow #disneytipsandtricks #experiencesoverthings #takethetrip #disneymom #disneygram #jasonkelce #traviskelce #kelcebrothers #makememories

It’s been a while, and there are some new faces around here—allow me to reintroduce myself!Hi! I’m Dani, and this month I’m celebrating two fantastical years as a travel advisor with Fantastical Vacations! Teacher by day, chaos coordinator by night, and travel enthusiast always. I specialize in Disney and Universal vacations, cruising, all-inclusive resorts, and tropical escapes like Hawaii. My love for Disney started as a kid and grew when I joined the Disney College Program in 2011 as a Vacation Planner—a dream experience that solidified my passion for helping others make magical memories. Prior to my current life as a travel advisor-teacher-mom, I’ve explored the world, studied hospitality, and worked in the travel industry as a destination wedding specialist. From dreamy cruises to relaxing beach getaways and multi-generational Disney trips, I love helping families create magical experiences wherever they dream of going. What I love most? Hearing about the memories you made during your trip and knowing I helped bring them to life.As a mom of 5 and someone who’s planned many multi-generational vacations, I know firsthand how overwhelming travel planning can feel. That’s why I’m here: to take the stress off your plate, guide you with care, and make sure your family has an unforgettable adventure. Whether it’s a Disney vacation, a bucket-list Hawaiian escape, an all-inclusive beach retreat, or the cruise of your dreams, I’m here to help your family find your happy place and create memories that will last a lifetime. I can’t wait to plan together! #disneytravelagent #disneytravelplanner #disneyplanning #30secondtrailer #itsmehi #beyourself #findthejoy #doyou #travelgram #disneyfamily #disneymom #universalstudios #universalfamily #disneywithkids #disneygram #hawaiistagram #itsme #wicked #defyinggravity #nevergiveup #gratefulforyou #dcl #disneyaulani

**Scroll down for 2 pro tips** There are 2 types of tickets you can purchase with your Disney World resort package: base tickets and park hoppers. Base tickets allow you to visit 1 park per day. You may enter and exit the same park as many times as you’d like within park hours. Park hopper tickets allow you to hop between parks: you can start at Animal Kingdom, take a mid day resort break, and head to Magic Kingdom that evening. Or,You could start at Hollywood Studios and skyliner your way over to Epcot later on. Or, try the 4-park-one-day challenge (I do NOT recommend this for first timers or those with little ones 😉)Keep in mind that travel time between parks can be lengthy and strollers/large parties can add some extra time and logistical extra steps (i.e. folding your double stroller on the skyliner). Don’t get me wrong though, I’m a park hopper through and through. I like having flexibility to go wherever the wind blows me 😜 Pro tip for deluxe guests: One major reason I like to have the park hopper ticket is because deluxe resort guests have extended evening hours at select parks on select nights. If you’re staying in a deluxe resort, say, the Polynesian, and Magic Kingdom has extended evening hours, if you went to Animal Kingdom that morning and don’t have the park hopper ticket, you won’t be able to take advantage of those extended evening hours (only if you had been to Magic Kingdom and only MK earlier that day). Pro tip for first timers: For many of my first time clients (especially with little little ones), if they plan on visiting all 4 parks and have at least a 4-day ticket, I often recommend base tickets so that they can maximize their time in one park per day, experience so many of their “must do” attractions, shows, and characters, and not have to worry about the transportation options between parks. Which type of per
Toddlers in Disney are unlike anything else: its so magical, yet so exhausting… but I wouldnt change it for a second.

‼️ Side-by-side stroller parents ‼️I’ve been there: 2 sleeping children, fully loaded stroller with 3 shopping bags, bubble wands, Minnie ears, ponchos, half drunk water bottles, leftover chicken fingers, a wrapped up lollipop, and a glowing Mickey Balloon lighting up the night. The Epcot fireworks have just ended and you bolted through the UK to the International gateway skyliner station to head back to your hotel. You’re tired, your feet hurt, you’re hot… But then. You realize it. You have to wake the sleeping children and pack up ALL THE THINGS to fold the stroller. Don’t make this mistake. You will be required to fold your side-by-side double stroller *sleeping child or not* when boarding the skyliner. Be prepared by either: 1. Front to back double stroller OR 2. Setting your expectations and already having your items condensed so that stopping to fold the stroller is quick and painless to enjoy a breezy skyliner ride back to your comfy cozy hotel room. This is especially important if you’re planning on using this as a primary mode of transportation between Epcot/Hollywood Studios and any of the skyliner resorts: 1. Riviera 2. Caribbean Beach 3. Art of Animation 4. Pop Century This was my husband’s LEAST favorite part of the best form of transportation in all of Disney World. Have you ever been caught off guard and scrambled before boarding? #disneytransportation #skyliner #disneywithkids #disneymom #disneyparents #disneyworldtipsandtricks #strollerrental #deluxeresorts #epcot #hollywoodstudios #disneyhotels #disneyworldtip #traveltogether #makememoriesnow #disneyfam #disneywithbabies #disneymistakes
