Yesterday, I visited the Disney 100 Exhibition in Chicago, and it was incredible. Movie props and artifacts, actual sketches from Disney Imagineers, and learning more amazing facts on the wonderful Walt Disney, himself.
Every time I dive into the details of the history of this company, I’m in awe. So many times, he overcame the impossible to make his dream come true. And now it’s my dream come true!
I’m so thankful to Walt Disney for what he created. And to Roy Disney, his brother, who fulfilled Walt’s dreams when he passed away too soon. What an unbelievable legacy to leave behind. ❤️
Well, she wasn’t able to pull the Sword from the Stone, but she looked awfully cute trying! 😍🥰
Neither of my kiddos have been one of the chosen ones (yet!). Have you ever pulled the Sword from the Stone?
Disney Dining Plans add convenience to your vacation by allowing you to pre-pay for your meals so that you don’t have to worry about food spending when onsite! You’ll love the feeling of an all-inclusive Disney World vacation. 😎
There are two different types of Dining Plan options to allow families to select the one that fits their lifestyle. Let me help you find the perfect fit for your family’s vacation!
Tip Tuesday: Check out the Tree of Life animal carvings! 😍
Some guests don’t even realize that the Tree of Life has animals carved all around the entire trunk. There are quiet little paths behind the tree to see it up close and personal, and to enjoy a peaceful moment to eat a snack or just relax.
Want more tips like these? Keep following along on my page, and book your trip with me to receive a personalized itinerary with tips and tricks to make your Disney World vacation a breeze!
Tip Tuesday: Book a Character Meal
One of my favorite ways to get fun character interactions is through character meals. It’s a great way to meet several characters without waiting in line because they come to you! There are character restaurants both in the parks, as well as outside of the parks at the Disney Resorts. There are character meals with Mickey & his gang, Princess character meals, one with Pooh & Friends, Stitch, and more!
Want to know which ones are the best value for your family? Book with me and I’m happy to give you all the insider info and tips! 😉
One of my favorite tips to give families is to book a character breakfast on your checkout morning. There’s no better send off than a hug from Mickey and a dance with Donald before you head back home. ♥️
Planning a Disney trip is different for every family.
Sometimes my clients say “Hi, we’re Disney regulars who know exactly what we want to book. We want this resort, these tickets, and these dining reservations. Thanks!”
Other times, my clients say “Hi, we’ve never been to Disney and I don’t even know where to begin. Please help!”
The good news is, I can do both, and everything in between!

This is the magic of Disney. ✨
This. Right. Here.
While on the monorail, on our way back to the resort, we were stopped at the Polynesian when we found Pluto & Goofy! The entire time we were stopped, they played with the girls. This is one of so many reasons why I love staying onsite. You never know who you’ll find around the corner! This was one of my favorite moments of this trip so far. ❤️
*Don’t mind the shaky camera- I just started recording as soon as I saw them!
#4 Water Bottles
My sweet friend, Nicole, ordered these for our girls for our upcoming trip. Be sure to get a cup that doesn’t leak so it won’t get items in your park bag wet. You can get free cups of water from all quick-service locations in the parks to refill it. And bring refillable cups for mom and dad too!
This is your friendly reminder that Disney was created to be a magical place that families can enjoy together. I have a family in Disney this week who had never been before, and when they contacted me about their trip, they said “We’ve never really been interested in going to Disney, but thought we should take our kids at least once.” Here they are months later, and Mom and Dad are enjoying the parks so much, they asked me to help secure a last-minute nanny so they could enjoy the parks on their own while the kids get an early bedtime. Yes, the Disney parks are that much fun, and not just for the kids! And yes, booking a nanny service I know and trust is another service I offer my clients. 😉 Whether you’ve always been a Disney fan, or you’ve never been before, Disney is ready and waiting to be your family’s happy place. ❤️
May the Fourth be with you. 😉
Easily one of the most incredible memories from our last Galaxy’s Edge visit was Savi’s Workshop, the lightsaber building experience. Guests are able to select the hardware and color of their lightsabers to make them their own. But even more so, the best part is that they make the experience feel more like a ceremony. The Cast Members are fully in character and the atmosphere is perfect. I’m a big nerd, but not a huge Star Wars nerd, and I still teared up, just in awe.
This experience can be booked 60-days prior to check-in for onsite guests, and should be booked that early if you’re interested. Of course, reserving this experience is another service I provide for my clients.
I do not recommend this experience for small kids. I didn’t think Liam was ready for it (yet). Fortunately, my niece wanted to build a lightsaber, so that’s how we got to experience it. She was also very gracious to let Liam take some awesome pictures with it after! The lightsaber is fragile, and admittedly the experience is pricey. That being said, both my niece and I agreed that it was completely worth it after seeing it firsthand, as long as you understand that the lightsaber is more of a collectible than a toy. If you’re looking for a more child-friendly version, I can help you find that, too. 😉

I’m home. 🏰
Every time I come around this corner and see the castle at the end of the street, it brings me to tears. I can’t explain the way it makes me feel- the joy of a child I guess. It’s purely good. Literally Magic. 💜😭
Oga’s Cantina in Galaxy’s Edge
Okay, first of all, the Galaxy’s Edge area is unbelievable. I cannot do it justice in pictures and videos. But I’ll try my best with words.
After a ride in Millenium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run, which was a blast, we headed to Oga’s Cantina for a drink. First of all, the theming and attention to detail is INSANE. But that describes all of Galaxy’s Edge. We asked the server to choose her best recommendations for us, and she killed it. Halei and I got the Fuzzy Tauntaun and the Bespin Fizz. For Liam, she made a Carbon Freeze. Check out more stories for a video of her pouring our bubbling concoctions.
The atmosphere was perfect. The drinks were delicious. And the staff was on point. 10/10 would recommend!
For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration
If I told you most of this attraction is hearing the story of Frozen told by funny narrators and watching clips of the movie while singing along to everyone’s favorite songs, you may think, “I do that every day at home.” 😂
But not. like. this.
The narrators are hilarious, throwing in tons of adult humor to add flair. They tell you to sing along at the top of your lungs (we took those instructions very seriously). And of course at the end, you do get to see Kristoff, Anna, and Elsa. Even more, you get to see Elsa use her powers!
Halei and I both agreed that this was one of our favorite experiences so far! Truly just so much fun. An absolute must do for the Frozen fans! Liam, on the other hand, was just excited to get to the next ride. We may have dragged him to this for our sake. 😜
