‼️Big travel changes for European travel are coming this year! These popular travel destinations are implementing new pre-travel authorizations starting in 2025. If you’re traveling to the UK or a Schengen-area country (basically any EU country), you’ll need to apply online for the ETA or ETIAS. Swipe 👉🏼 for more details!

Most applications will be approved in a few days, but be sure to apply as early as possible to give yourself time for any unexpected processing delays.

MOST IMPORTANTLY — you MUST have applied for the ETA even if you are JUST taking a connecting flight through any of the UK locations & aren’t staying in the country!!!

Come tour a Theme Park View room in the Main Tower in Disney’s Contemporary Resort!

This Incredibles-themed room sleeps up to 5 adults, with a Day Bed & either 1 King Bed or 2 Queen Beds. The room has a full bathroom with a separate toilet room, a shower with a rain showerhead, and amazing lighting for getting ready in the mornings. Some rooms contain a shower-tub combo, while others only have a walk-in shower.

The best part, though, is the view! Start every morning of your trip off with views of Magic Kingdom park, then end the day watching the park’s fireworks – complete with background music courtesy of your in-room TV.
