I genuinely love Disney’s Memory Maker packages because we always come home with pictures like THESE! The Magic Shots are obviously extra fun, but what I really adore is that we get to enjoy dozens of pictures with ALL FOUR OF US 😱😂 No more camera roll full of just the kids, or the kids with only one parent, or an occasional blurry selfie of the whole fam. We can look back on our vacations and remember how much fun we ALL had because we get to see everybody’s happy (or goofy or occasionally scared 🤣) faces in our PhotoPass pictures! (Most importantly from this trip, I’ll always remember the night that I held “the poison, the poison for Kuzco, the poison specially to kill Kuzco, Kuzco’s poison!” 😎)

Feeling a little meh about this year’s Halloween plans?? Make next Halloween AMAZING with a trip to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party! We had an absolute blast – rode all our favorite rides, caught some incredible shows, interacted with the world’s greatest villains, stuffed ourselves silly with spooky snacks, and collected more candy than we know what to do with (👀 that last pic for evidence!). It was the best night, and these are just the pics we caught on our phones… check out my next post to see why I LOVE Disney’s Memory Maker packages! And don't forget to let me help you plan next year's trip to check out Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party! 🎃

“Rachel – You are quickly restoring my faith in professional, reliable, and responsive travel planners! Thanks so much. You are awesome!” One of my wonderful guests just sent me these words, and it MADE MY DAY! Are there less reliable and attentive travel agents out there? Absolutely. And it stinks that they can give the rest of us a poor reputation. But when you put in the effort to find a high-quality vacation planner who is genuinely invested in making sure your vacation is absolutely magical, you’ll find that there are so many benefits to letting us lend our expertise to your getaway! I would love to help you plan your next vacation as well; message me here or head to ExtraMagicTrips.com/Rachel to request your free vacation quote now!

Did you know you can go ahead and secure your 2025 holiday trip to Walt Disney World for just $200?? I hear all the time how much people would LOVE to visit Disney World at the holidays, but how hard it is to spend that kind of money at an expensive time of year. But you don’t have to wait until other holiday expenses hit to start paying for your Disney trip! Vacation packages for the end of 2025 are finally available, and if you want to go ahead and secure one now, all we have to do is put down a $200 deposit, and then you’ll have over a year to save and make payments gradually leading up to your magical holiday vacation. Message me or request a free vacation quote at ExtraMagicTrips.com/Rachel if you’re ready to start planning your holiday vacation at Disney World!

Love skipping the standby lines at Walt Disney World but hate being tied to your phone all day while you schedule return times? Then the new Lightning Lane Premier Pass might be exactly what you’re looking for! It will allow you to enter the Lightning Lane for each eligible ride in a single park one time, at ANY time that day. No more being stuck with specific time windows to ride, no more zig-zagging across the park, no more missing out on the Lightning Lane for your favorite attractions – it’s the ultimate Lightning Lane convenience! This premium service debuts October 30, 2024, and will be offered exclusively to guests at Disney Deluxe Resorts, Disney Deluxe Villa Resorts, and other select hotels. Not into paying the premium price, or not staying at an eligible resort?? Hakuna Matata – no worries! Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Single Pass, as well as the standby lines, are always available just like they have been. Oh, and I’m happy to help you sort through all of this as we plan for your next Disney vacation; it’s just one of the concierge services I offer my guests! 😉

One of the most beautiful Christmas celebrations in all of Walt Disney World is the annual Candlelight Processional at EPCOT! Three times each evening from November 29 through December 30, celebrity narrators will tell the Christmas story with the help of a giant choir, a 50-piece orchestra, and the magnificent Voices of Liberty. We FINALLY have the full lineup of celebrity narrators for this year, and it's INCREDIBLE: Josh Gad, Nico Santos, Chrissy Metz, Whoopi Goldberg, Tituss Burgess, Brendan Fraser, Ralph Macchio, Gary Sinise, Neil Patrick Harris, Pat Sajak, Gloria Estefan, Edward James Olmos, Sterling K Brown, and Jodi Benson! 🤯 If you haven’t booked your family’s holiday visit to Disney World yet, there’s still time – message me or head to ExtraMagicTrips.com/Rachel for your free vacation quote!

Last year for Christmas, we decided we wanted to give our kids an experience instead of just “things,” and I can’t imagine any experience more perfect than our cruise on the Disney Dream! We saw Broadway-caliber shows, watched fireworks over the ocean, kicked butt at trivia, sang our hearts out at karaoke, snorkeled and fed stingrays at Castaway Cay, dominated at mini golf, ate more ice cream in a week than we usually eat in a year, and came home with memories that will last way longer than any toy or game we could’ve given them. If you’re considering a Disney vacation, whether it’s in a theme park, on a cruise ship, or exploring a new country with Adventures by Disney, I’d love to help you plan the perfect experience gift for your loved ones!

🎄New details are out about this year’s Disney Jollywood Nights, an event that perfectly combines Hollywood glamour with Disney nostalgia and magical holiday vibes! With the “Glisten!” ice-skating spectacular joining the “Disney Holidays in Hollywood” and “The Nightmare Before Christmas Sing-Along” shows that premiered last year, plus the opportunity to dance the night away with some of our favorite characters (including Joy, Frozone, Edna Mode, and more!) at a Pixar pals dance party, the entertainment lineup looks amazing! And if you’re into meeting characters, once again this event will be Walt Disney World’s best opportunity of the year to meet TONS of familiar and rare characters from your favorite Disney films and shows! There will still be lots of fun and festive snacks and drinks to enjoy, plus each guest will leave with a complimentary treat box of champagne-flavored marshmallows at the end of the night. 🥂 And if all of that wasn’t enough to entice you, the limited capacity at this party combined with all of the party-exclusive entertainment and activities means that the ride wait times will be some of the shortest you’ll ever see in Hollywood Studios, so you can just hop on and off your favorite attractions anytime throughout the party!

Not sure if you should celebrate at Disney Jollywood Nights or Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party? I’ve been to both and would be happy to walk you through the highlights and perks of each event to help you decide which one best fits your vacation priorities! Feel free to send me a message, or go ahead and fill out the request for your free vacation quote at ExtraMagicTrips.com/Rachel if you’re ready to start planning!
