🧐Some of the first questions I ask new clients include, “Are your travel dates flexible?” and “Are you willing/able to go when schools are typically in session?” (i.e. not holidays or winter or spring break) THIS is one of the biggest reasons (aside from potential cost savings). Minimal lines and wait times at the parks! 🎸🚀🎢🎠

🏨✨There are MANY reasons staying “on-property” at a Disney Resort Hotel is magical… One of my favorite things is pulling up to our hotel to see the “Caravanning ‘Round The World” bus because it means there are characters visiting the hotel! You may find them wandering in the lobby, poolside or exploring the grounds!

📸 This is a great opportunity to grab a photo, and autograph, a high-five or a hug with no lines! Keep your eyes peeled for this bus of besties on your next visit to WDW! 👀 🚌

Many clients ask for my opinion about MagicBand+ for the parks and I am PRO-MagicBand! They are an additional cost, but when we book your vacation package you get a pre-arrival discount on bands when you order through your MyDisneyExperience account. MagicBand+ ARE reusable on future Disney vacations, but they are NOT transferable (they are linked to specific guest profiles) so you can’t trade with friends or family. Have questions about MagicBands or ready to book your next Disney vacation? Contact me at

🚘 Let's talk about Minnie Vans! (Which is a misnomer, because they are actually Suburbans, but the name is cute and they used to have vans so we let it slide.😊) While there are plenty of wonderful and FREE transportation options between Disney resort hotels and Disney theme parks (bus, skyliner, ferry, monorail, etc.), a Minnie Van connected by Lyft is a private transfer for an additional cost, but with fast and direct service!

📲 Perhaps you were planning to rope drop to arrive at a park before it opens but your family is moving slower than you expected. Or maybe you have an early dining reservation at a Disney resort hotel other than the one you are staying in and you don't want to take the time to coordinate transportation from one hotel to the other... Minnie Vans can be ordered on-demand for fast door-to-door service!

🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒 Perfect for families - they include up to two complimentary car seats (and the drivers are certified in car seat installation). Plus, if you are staying in a Club Level Room at your Disney resort hotel, we can even arrange for a Minnie Van to provide transportation to and from Orlando International Airport (MCO)! ✈️ Let's talk about the option to upgrade your vacation package to enjoy this and many other amenities available to Club Level guests!

I provide information about all of the transportation options to my clients and include details about ordering Minnie Vans if the need or opportunity arises.

👋 Hello, Fellow Nightowls! 🌃

🌙🌟🎢 One of my favorite benefits of staying at a Disney Deluxe or Deluxe Villa resort hotel is exclusive access to Extended Evening Hours! For an additional TWO hours on select nights, a Disney theme park remains open for ONLY guests staying at a Deluxe resort hotel after it closes to the general public (and Value and Moderate resort hotel guests).

While not every show and attraction is open during Extended Evening hours, many of the most popular rides are available with little to no wait in lines! 🥳

Recently only the Magic Kingdom and EPCOT have offered Extended Evening Hours, but in the near future, ALL 4️⃣ Walt Disney World theme parks will offer this benefit on select nights!

Mark your calendar: starting September 25, 2024 🏨 Hollywood Studios and beginning October 11, 2024 ! 🌳 Animal Kingdom will have Extended Evening Hours on select nights! 🗓️

If you’d like to know the cost to upgrade your vacation package to receive this benefit for Deluxe Resort hotel guests or if you are interested in pricing and availability, send me an email to get started!

Check out this list of the rides and attractions that will be available during Extended Evening Hours!

Our son was 19-months old when we arrived on our Disney vacation. Having never had it cut, his hair was becoming scraggly, but I was terrified of a bad cut having seen so many horror stories online and on play dates.😬🫢

🏰 As usual, Disney was the answer to my problem as the Harmony Barbershop located just inside the entrance to the Magic Kingdom has patient and kind stylists who gave Jameson the ULTIMATE First Haircut experience. 💈 ✂️

💰 For only $28 he received a haircut, adorable embroidered commemorative Mickey ears hat, keepsake lock of hair, and an official milestone certificate for his baby book! That's a great deal considering what I would've paid at home!

🙌 Jameson had a great time as Rosie worked her magic and entertained him with a light wand and stickers. 15/10 would do this again and highly recommend it to my clients!

📸 When we were finished, we walked across Main Street to the Town Square Theater to show Mickey Mouse his fresh new cut and get a hug for his bravery (and mine!). 😉

What do you think of Jameson's haircut? 👍❤️

🌐🚢🏰🏨 We recently returned from a Walt Disney World > Disney Cruise Line > Walt Disney World vacation and it was absolutely MAGICAL!✨

💗This was another multi-generational trip with our extended family - grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins from toddlers to senior citizens. With busy work, school, and extracurricular commitments it was a much-needed opportunity to reconnect and spend quality time together!

I can’t wait to share more about the fun we had and the memories we made! 🥰

❓I work with a lot of families and some of the most frequently asked questions are about traveling with toddlers, using a wheelchair or scooter, dietary restrictions and food allergies, how to make a birthday celebration special and this trip incorporated all of those things and more! I speak from many, many years of experience and I would never recommend anything that I wouldn’t do with my own family.

📸 Here are a few photo highlights from our trip and I’ll be sharing more in the coming weeks and months.

📧 If you are considering a Disney vacation, please feel free to contact me at [email protected] for a FREE, no-obligation quote!

🎆Remember, there is no additional cost to booking your vacation with me as Disney pays me directly.
