😎 Sure, you’ve got your human BFFs, but when you’re tackling a summer day at Walt Disney World, your real besties are cooling towels and misting fans. 🧊🌬️ I mean, who else is going to keep you cool when Florida decides to turn up the heat to ‘surface of the sun’? 🔥 These unsung heroes are the secret to enjoying the parks from sunup to sundown without melting into a puddle. You can find them for sale all over the parks.

🏰🍽️🎉The Disney Dining Plans are back! Although it isn’t a sure fire savings for ALL families, for many it can give your Disney vacation an all-inclusive feel while saving you time and money. 🤑 I know it can be a tough decision because it does feel pricey. Part of my FREE planning help is to navigate that process with you, work the math and find the best fit for your family. Put me to work for you! 💪

🚱PRO TIP: Do NOT spend your snack credits on bottled water! Tale as old as time, it’s hot, someone panics and goes to buy a drink-NOOOO! 🚰There are FREE ice water cups for the taking at any kiosk or Quick Service with a soda fountain. Use those snack credits for the things that REALLY matter like a cannoli at the Italy pavilion during the Food and Wine Festival or hummus fries 🍟from the Morocco kiosk at the Flower & Garden Festival. Which snack do you grab on the Disney Dining Plan that makes you feel like you just outsmarted the system?

Wow…14 years. I remember seeing this in the theater with my niece

☀️🎉 Today is the OFFICIAL first day of summer, but how long has it actually felt like summer by you? (Or are you still not quite there yet.) Today may be the official kick off, but at 🌎Universal’s Endless Summer Resorts, it is ALWAYS summer. You will fall in love and immediately want to come home and replicate the look and feel of their rooms with the beachy color palette and cool surfer vibes. 🏄‍♀️ You won’t believe this is a Value Hotel - until you get that final bill and realize you have leftover cash for some more Butterbeer in the parks! 🤑

☀️Summer in Disney can get hot. Here are a few tips to help with the heat!

💦Take advantage of early morning hours when staying at at Disney resort. We head to the parks early and then head back to our hotel after lunch and enjoy a few hours at the pool. While at the pool, I continue to stack my Genie + rides for when we head back later in the day. I often have at least 3 or 4 rides ready to go when we get back in the park.

🪭Bring a cooling towel, water bottle, and portable fan.

🍔Plan a late lunch to get out of the heat and rest those feet. It’s a great way to recharge.

🧥DO bring a long sleeve shirt or sweatshirt. Restaurants and indoor attractions can get cool.

🌝🌜Consider doing an After Hours event instead of going to the park that day. Magic Kingdom, Epcot, and Hollywood Studios all have After Hours events on select nights. Guests usually can get into the park around 7:00 PM and these events go to 12:30 or 1 AM.

Hitting a waterpark is always a fan favorite of the kids! Disney and Universal BOTH have amazing waterparks.

Even if pineapple isn’t your thing 🍍, Disneyland’s Tropical Hideaway has a selection of other Dole Whip flavors too. Mango 🥭, strawberry 🍓, or maybe a swirl of both? For something a bit more savory, they offer a variety of bao buns 🥟 and grab & go items to enjoy as you watch Jungle Cruise boats glide by—talk about dining with a view!
But here’s a pro tip: try to visit as the sun sets 🌅. With flickering tiki torches all around 🔥, the area transforms into a tropical oasis under the stars ✨. It’s dreamy! Oh, and don’t forget to listen for Rosita 🦜, the joke-telling animatronic bird (who left the Enchanted Tiki Room). It’s a quintessential Disney experience! 🏰

🚘 Test Track closes today for its new re theming refurbishment

How do you feel about this? 🙋🏻‍♀️ This may be an unpopular opinion but I’m excited for it.

🏁🚖I find the current ride jerky and have been stuck on it the past few visits.

👔😎Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there.

🎉 Shoutout to my hubby who’s a fantastic Disney dad and hubby! I couldn’t live my best Disney life without him. Even when he thinks I’ve lost my marbles he lives and supports me.

Happy Fathers Day Everyone 💙❤️

👋 Hola! Bonjour! Hallo! Jambo! Ciao! How about some fun facts about “it’s a small world”? 🩵💛💚🩷
* It was part of the 1964 New York World’s Fair 🌎🎡
* Its music was written by the legendary Sherman brothers 🎶
* The Disneyland version includes characters from some of our favorite Disney movies like Cinderella, The Three Caballeros, The Little Mermaid, Toy Story, and more 👸🦜🧜‍♀️🤠
* Mary Blair created the iconic designs, and you can find more of her work around Disney’s Contemporary Resort 🎨

😍😠 Many people have, let’s say, strong opinions about the song, but it IS a classic and “the happiest cruise that ever sailed” should be experienced at least once.

🍔🥢Did you really visit Magic Kingdom if you didn’t stop by the Adventureland Spring Roll Cart for some cheeseburger spring rolls? These savory snacks have gained almost legendary🌟status among Disney fans. If you’re just discovering them now, imagine all the goodness of a cheeseburger packed into a crispy spring roll. There will also be a second flavor to choose from (usually pizza) but it varies. 🍕

🕷️🦸Is there a more timeless superhero than Spider-Man? The big kids and little kids can both get their fill at Disney California Adventure Park’s Avengers Campus. Whether it’s rubbing elbows walking around campus, watching him soar through the sky or kicking some bad guy b***y in WEB SLINGERS, he’s definitely the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man on BOTH coasts. Who else was a big Spidey fan growing up and loves the Marvel Universe mania? 🎉

Disney really TURNED IT UP 🎵 with the All-Star Music Resort! Whether you’re looking for show tunes 🎭, country 🤠, jazz 🎷, rock 🎸, or calypso 🏝️, your signature musical taste is represented! Not only is the theming fun 🎉, but guys, the price can’t be beat 💰.

⭐️The All-Star resorts are the most affordable on-property options, but that doesn’t mean you are getting a bottom of the barrel room. Standard rooms 🛏️ have recently been renovated AND this resort is also home to family suites with a full kitchen that sleep up to 6 (plus an infant 👶)! Families, Disney sees you!

🎉✨🎨Don’t miss out on some serious fun—and a bit of unplanned magic at the What If Labs! It’s like having a play date at Figment’s house. Whether it’s creating your own Figment (and emailing it to yourself), hopping on musical stepping stones, making melodies or taking fun photos, there’s plenty to do while enjoying a break from the sun, rain and waiting in line. 🎶☀️⏳

It’s often the spontaneous moments that create the long lasting memories. Who else loves a good surprise on their Disney days?? ✨🎁🪄

❓❓Did you know……Magic Kingdom is actually the SECOND FLOOR of the park? There is a tunnel below, called the Utilidor.

🏰 Story goes, that Walt was upset to see a cowboy in Disneyland walking through Tomorrowland (think Futuristic) to reach his post at Frontierland (think Western).

✨Walt believed it took away from the magic. So, when Disney World was being built, he came up with an idea to build a series of tunnels that would allow cast members to come out in appropriate costume in the appropriately themed area.

🪄The tunnels allow Cast Members go to and from the “Lands” hidden from public view, right below park guests feet!

🤗I had the opportunity to tour the Utilidors a couple years ago and it was facinsting!

🚢✨😎🎩Sure, sailing concierge level on Disney Cruise Line is pretty darn fancy. HOWEVER, the appeal extends beyond guests who just like a little extra pixie dust. Concierge level guests also receive priority embarkation and disembarkation, early dibs on cabana rentals and specialty dining reservations and private areas to enjoy and explore. These perks can be fantastic for guests who are traveling with small kids and just need that extra attention, care and space to move around. Concierge level is also great for guests with mobility issues (there are concierge level accessible rooms) that may just want things to feel a little easier and receive some extra attention. Don’t rule out concierge level for your next trip. It is more costly, but the perks may be something that can elevate your next vacation to that truly worry-free zen at sea spot!

🦄🚢🤩Concierge level sailing on Disney Cruise Line is a bit of the unicorn of stateroom tiers. Lots of people do it, but not so many that you may hear first hand experiences from. What have you always wanted to know but have been afraid to ask? 😃

🏰Fun Facts about Cinderella’s Fountain at Walt Disney World:

👑 Viewed from a child’s height, a mural behind the fountain makes it look like Cinderella is wearing a crown.

🎁 This fountain was a gift from the Walt Disney Company, symbolizing Cinderella’s global appeal.

⛲ Coins tossed into the fountain are donated to charity, turning wishes into acts of kindness.

🐭 The design includes ‘Hidden Mickeys’, a playful feature for fans to discover.

✨ An inscription encourages visitors to believe in their dreams, echoing Cinderella’s story.

📷 It’s a favorite for photos, especially capturing the crown illusion.

😅🤠🚀Does it make me feel like my right arm is about to fall off-yes. Have I ever beaten anyone in a round-definitely YES. Will I ever stop visiting Toy Story Mania-NO WAY! This interactive attraction is one the whole family enjoys, and I get that little cramp in my side from laughing and my arm becomes a noodle about halfway through the midway games.
🥇Let’s hear it-who else loves this game?! Are you EVER the leading scorer in your ride vehicle?

🤠🚀Toy Story Mania opened its Midway doors on this day back in 2008. (Isn’t that NUTS?! Time sure flies!) Even though she’s celebrating her sweet 16th birthday today, this attraction’s popularity has never waned. In the age of Genie+, how likely are you to use a Genie+ reservation to make sure you and your crew get to battle it out to ride this fun, interactive attraction? Or if you opt to just go standby, what is the longest you would wait in line to beat everyone in your car and have bragging rights all trip long? 😎

🌐🍽️🧆 EPCOT is the most magical place on earth for food options! Sure, you can have your traditional theme park fare, but there is just so much more to tempt your palette. For something really unique and with one of the best views at the park, give Spice Road Table a try. Their small plates menu is perfect for sharing and satisfying that craving to have just a bite of LOTS of goodies. Is this a must do for anyone? 👍

🗳️ If you had to name THE most underrated pavilion in EPCOT which nook of World Showcase would get your vote? And what do you think folks are missing the most by just breezing by it? Morocco gets my vote! The delicious small plates at Spice Road Table with that incredible view and THE most authentic souvenir shop in World Showcase make me love Morocco and want to shout it out, but also keep it my little secret so I can also get my sunset dining reservation at Spice Road Table! 🤫🌐🍽️🧆
