Love Joy and Magic

Love Joy and Magic Disney VIP Concierge (aka Virtual VIP Tour Guide). My name is Kelli Socha and I am a wife and mother of 2 girls (12 and 9). So how did I become a Disney Planner?
(18)

While I have always loved Disney movies and watching the Disney Channel growing up, my love and appreciation took a new level when we took my niece to Disney World when she was 4. Watching her face light up when she saw Cinderella’s Castle for the first time nearly brought me to tears. I knew I couldn’t wait to take my own kids someday. Disney is full of so much wonder and happiness, how can you n

ot smile walking down Main Street with people from every corner of the world, singing and dancing in the street. It is the one place I go where I “feel like a kid” again. It is my true joy to share that magic with as many people as I can. Originally from Central Illinois, our family moved to North East Texas in the middle of 2020. Due to the move, I quit my day job as an accountant, to be home for my family and help us all adjust to this new crazy life in Texas. When travel started to pick up again, I started helping friends plan their Disney vacations. After planning dozens of amazing vacations, my friends insisted that I should make this a business! So in the summer of 2022, I did just that. I offered my services to several clients and they provided beaming reviews. Before I knew it I had clients booked through the end of 2022. In 2019, when I came across an article about the “Parkeology Challenge” (a ride challenge to ride all the rides at either Walt Disney World or Disneyland), I joked with a friend (another Disney lover) that we should attempt this challenge. We both laughed it off at first but as both our strategic minds began to process this, we were drawn to the idea and were totally in. We immersed ourselves into the Disney Ride Challenge Community. From podcasts to Twitter and studying data from Disney and other sources, I became fluent in all things Disney Attractions. In September, we not only completed the Parkeology Challenge at WDW once, but twice!! After that we were hooked and in January 2020, we completed the Parkeology Challenge at Disneyland. How does this make me an amazing Disney Planner? Well, while I thought I knew everything and was organized before (I mean, I used spreadsheets and had all the reservations and Fast Passes on point!), I was rocked when I started planning for the Parkeology Challenge. Doing these challenges caused me to look at the parks in a totally different way: how to navigate them efficiently. I was able to take my planning to a whole new level. There is so much strategy behind touring the parks successfully that can only be gained by experience and lots and lots of research. I get so much excitement from being able to secure a Lightning Lane for a “sold out” ride, which I can do on almost every trip! What do I do for my clients? I know that Disney vacations are not cheap and for most families they are a once-or-twice-in-a-lifetime destination. That means that families deserve to have their trip be as magical as humanly possible. Disney vacations are also extremely stressful for those not on top of the daily changes occurring in the parks minute-to-minute as attractions are added or shut down. A stress-free and smooth trip requires many hours of studying and planning. Disney provides many tools, including Genie+, but learning all the rules and how to navigate that technology is just a start. Feeling the anxiety of getting it right while trying to be present with your family and trying not to stare at your phone–these are the top complaints I get from many of my clients. They find it difficult to keep track of all of the moving pieces in the parks (ride times, ride closures, magic hours, reservations, etc) and in those moments they can feel more stress than they feel joy.

What does my Disney Concierge Services provide you?

Simply put.......Peace of Mind!

Planning a Disney vacation can be overwhelming. Learning the Disney language is just the start. There are numerous you tube videos, and so called experts your can find on the internet, however, not all of it is great advice or fit for your family. Even if you do all that prep and spend countless hours researching and creating spreadsheets and a handy guide, when you are actually in the parks it is often hard to keep track of it all trying to remember what you read once or adjusting plans as soon as your day gets off track (and it will). Keeping track of all the moving pieces is difficult when considering ride return times, ride closures, weather, reservation times, family demands, etc., these moments often create the most stress. With Love, Joy & Magic, I am here to handle all of that behind the scenes, utilizing park strategies and monitoring real time park conditions to navigate you through the parks efficiently and with ease so you can enjoy your family stress free! With Love, Joy & Magic, you just show up and let me take care of the rest!

06/26/2024

Disney’s Genie+ is getting a new name and they added back Lightning lane pre-selections. This pre-selections are limited to 1 top tier attraction and 2 lower tier attractions for all parks except Animal Kingdom. Animal Kingdom does not have tiered attractions, so all attractions are available with your 3 initial Lightning lanes.

The new system gives those guests staying at a Disney Resort the added benefit from being able to make their selections 7 days in advance vs. non-Disney resort guests 3 days in advance.

For those coming from outside the US, you willl not be able to make your pre-selections until you are 7/3 days in advance AND have entered the US.

Check out this article!

Do not worry! This “new” system is like the Fast Pass days of old (just paid for now). We are very familiar with how that system worked and successfully rode all the attractions at all four parks in one day under that old system.

While the apparent ease of pre-booking seeming like a grand idea, there are some downsides (Lack of ability to stack, must use your first pre-selection before booking another, etc.), however, this is where strategy is going to come into come into play as well as our constant monitoring of Lightning lane availability and modifying current reservations to ensure you get all the top tier attractions you desire.

Love, Joy & Magic will still continue to make your park days easier and give you back family time at the parks and less time on your phone!

Beginning July 24, Walt Disney World guests can plan in advance with Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass 📲: http://di.sn/6001glsuP

Between the number of Lightning lanes obtained and the lack of cross-crossing across the parks! We saved their energy and steps in the summer Florida heat!

And those who are interested, this was a crowd level of 7/10 for both these parks!

These clients had so much fun as a family and can’t wait to go back! Stress free and full of many magical memories! We pulled this together in less than a week!

Getting to know our clients personally helps me understand their priorities and where they should spend their time. I often recommend attractions or fun things they have never heard of or world have not been interested in otherwise.
