Dark Universe is the land I'm personally most excited for when epic Universe opens!! After seeing these intro videos, each time I'm blown away more and more, every land is going to be insane, and I truly believe that Universal is going to change theme parks moving forward, when this opens!!

Universal put out a teaser, but you have to to watch this full YouTube video, this land alone going to be game changer in the theme park industry!!
I love Universal is always creating and pushing the boundaries! When Epic Universe opens, this is going to have to be a multi-day trip just to take in the new park!!

3-Bedroom Grand Villa (sorry, we couldn't visit one, there's only two here at the hotel!)... but even seeing these from the outside, they're two-stories of AMAZING!!!

Pool & Steamboat Willie splash pad, at the Villas at the Disneyland Hotel!!

Wondering about the coloring on the side of the building exterior??? Just another really cool detail with meaning... again, in celebrating the art & animation, they've posted the color scheme from different animated movie stills, and the color tiles up the wall correspond with the color palette for each movie!!!

How cool is that?!

A super quick walkthrough of another Deluxe Studio room at the Villas at the Disneyland Hotel, just depicting another decor theme with Princess & the Frog!!!

I love the amazing details, and how much thought was put into each different room!

1-Bedroom Villa, The Villas at the Disneyland Hotel

I'm going home, packing my bags, and moving into this room!!!! 😂

But seriously, how gorgeous is this?!?!

Deluxe Studio Preferred View at The Villas at the Disneyland Hotel

Check out my stories to see the room tour videos!

I absolutely LOVE the rooms here! A great mix of modern contemporary with classic celebration of animation!! And so many cute little details throughout the room!!

Spacious, comfortable beds, usable space, your little kitchenette.... these rooms are fantastic!!!

I have to admit that I wasn't really sure what the expect from the Villas, if it would be "just another tower" at the Disneyland Hotel; but it really does have a completely different look and feel, that sets it apart!!!
It just might be my personal new favorite at the Disneyland Resort!

More tours to come today!

02/10/2023

The locks are fascinating to watch, and the scenery between is beyond gorgeous!! We've wanted to do Panama Canal for years - so glad we were able to finally check that box!!!

Today is our transit day through the Panama Canal & locks!!! These photos thus far are from our passing under the Bridge of the Americas - the official Pacific entrance to the Canal - and through our first set of locks - the Cocoli Locks... This is pretty much an all day process for complete crossing, and I'll be posting all throughout our voyage in my stories - be sure to follow along with us!!!! 🚢

Bristol Baby!! I posted in my stories back during MVP Annual Conference about our fun surprise, but was waiting to officially post until our first race.... Which is tomorrow at the Motor Speedway!!!

We were surprised at conference by the unveiling that over 500 Magical Vacation Planners will be racing with during sponsor weekends, starting with this weekend's Bristol Easter race!!!! I will literally be right there in the race, on the hood!!!

But on Sunday, I'll be in Costa Rica, wandering the jungle (quite literally) all day, so I need to be sure you're watching the race on my behalf, and cheering us all on!!! (Even Chase has been joking, it's a lot of pressure not to crash any of our faces!! 😂)

We're feeling the love being a part of the greater whole, of each venture - one big family!!!!
