🎄 I know, I know, it’s not even Halloween yet, BUT...if you’re planning on heading to Universal Orlando Resort for the first time during the Christmas season, buckle up—you’re in for a holiday experience like no other! Between all the lights, decorations, and a Macy’s parade, there’s one holiday experience you won’t want to miss...Grinchmas! 🎁

At Universal’s Islands of Adventure, the Grinch is the star of the show, and you can actually HAVE BREAKFAST WITH HIM! 🍽️ Forget those standard 🎅 Santa visits—this is a full-on breakfast experience where you get up close and personal with the Grinch. He’ll roam around, crack jokes, take photos, and spread his own special brand of holiday sneer, ummm, cheer. 😏 Not only is it a festive feast complete with all your breakfast favorites, the Grinch is hilarious! It’s an experience that’s guaranteed to be a holiday memory you won’t forget!

Pro Tip: This event is super popular, so make sure to book in advance! Reach out to me, and I’ll help you snag those coveted reservations and plan an unforgettable trip! 🎄😊

🚢 Is it the journey or the destination? We hear this expression a lot, but it really is a hard question to answer when it comes to cruising. Disney Cruise Line takes the cake with both the magical experience ✨ and the amazing ports of call. With itineraries like the Caribbean, Alaska, the Mediterranean, and more, there is a sailing for all interests. 🌍 But if the sights aren’t the star of the trip, you won’t be disappointed with all that DCL has to offer. Included in each sailing are:

🎭 Broadway-style shows

🍽️ Exciting dining experiences

🎉 Characters galore

🎨 An abundance of onboard activities for all ages

⭐ Disney level of service

Each ship is a floating destination filled with all the things you love about Disney!

What do you say? Is a Disney Cruise Line trip just about the port adventures, or would you be just as happy never stepping off the ship? ⬇️

😮 Disney Parks to Pilot New Option Called Lightning Lane Premier Pass

What do you think??!

Later this month, Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort will begin piloting a new service providing expedited entry to theme park attractions: Lightning Lane Premier Pass.

Lightning Lane Premier Pass will be offered in very limited quantities and will give guests one-time entry to each available Lightning Lane entrance in the theme park they are visiting that day. This includes attractions included in both Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Single Pass, but with Lightning Lane Premier Pass, guests do not need to select an experience time. Lightning Lane Premier Pass will be a premium offering, and prices will vary based on the date and theme park guests are visiting.

At Disneyland Resort, the Lightning Lane Premier Pass will be available first come, first served beginning two days in advance of a theme park reservation and will be valid for use in both theme parks. The first date it will be available is October 23, 2024.

At Walt Disney World, when Lightning Lane Premier Pass launches, it will be available to guests staying at Disney Deluxe or Deluxe Villa Resorts and may be purchased up to seven days in advance of their stay. It will only be valid for use in one park of the guest’s choice per day. The first date it will be available is October 30, 2024.

❗️So long Disney Genei+ 🧞‍♂️ - Changes are coming! ❗️

At Walt Disney World, guests have told us they would prefer to have the option to do more of their planning before their theme park day. So, this summer we will make changes to the Disney Genie+ service and individual Lightning Lane entry, including new ways to plan ahead.

On July 24, Walt Disney World will introduce new, simpler names to provide more clarity for everyone. Disney Genie+ service will become Lightning Lane Multi Pass, while individual Lightning Lane will now be known as Lightning Lane Single Pass.

Disney will also be updating Lightning Lane passes to help guests:

Make Lightning Lane plans before you’re at Disney, for added confidence.

Choose your experiences and times prior to purchasing, so you know what you’re getting.

Book Lightning Lane passes for multiple vacation days, all in a single day.

Here’s how Lightning Lane passes will work beginning July 24.

Lightning Lane Multi Pass
When guests purchase Lightning Lane Multi Pass, they may make up to 3 Lightning Lane selections in a theme park, in advance of your visit. They’ll also be able to choose available times as they make their selections. On the day of their visit, once they use a selection, they may check the My Disney Experience app for availability to make an additional selection.

Lightning Lane Single Pass
Lightning Lane Single Pass will work much like it does today, where guests can secure a time to ride one of our most highly demanded attractions, but they’ll now be able to make their purchase and plan in advance.

How to Plan Ahead
Guests staying at a Disney Resort hotel and other select hotels (Shades of Green Resort, Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotels) will be able to plan Lightning Lane passes up to 7 days in advance, for their entire stay (up to 14 days). All other guests can plan up to 3 days in advance. These advance purchase windows will let guests secure some of their must-do rides and experiences after they've had some time to decide what dining reservations they want to book and any other plans they may need to consider.

Guests may purchase a Lightning Lane Multi Pass, a Lightning Lane Single Pass or both. The app will also be updated to make it quicker and easier to purchase and plan, with fewer steps and a new option to purchase Lightning Lane Single Pass and Lightning Lane Multi Pass in one transaction.

Lightning Lane passes will blend features from the current services and the previously offered FastPass+ service, giving guests the choice to plan ahead and removing the hassle of planning during their vacation.

What do you think of these new changes?
