Journey to Discover Travel Kim York is a professional and experienced travel advisor that has been curating travel experiences since 2016. Hi!

She specializes in theme park destinations, Alaska, Hawaii, Mexico, Caribbean and European River Cruises. I am a former Walt Disney World Resort Cast Member and Mom of 6 who loves to travel or plan to travel to Disney destinations. After growing up in NC and traveling to Disney often as a child, I participated in the Walt Disney World College Program during the summer of 2000 and worked in the Con

fectionery on Main Street in the Magic Kingdom. I fell in love with the magic of Disney that summer and with my husband, who was also working on the College Program. My biggest take away from being a Cast Member was how no detail is too small to add magic to someone’s day and we should always do whatever it takes to go above and beyond to help others have the BEST experiences possible! SERVING is truly the best way in business and in life.

I am SO glad I didn’t miss this opportunity for my client! 👇

Last year, a client booked a trip to Hawaii and came to me with a very clear budget in mind.

I always honor my clients‘ budgets of course, but based on their list of things they wanted I knew they would enjoy the oceanview suite over the gardenview, I mean, who wouldn’t?!

The problem? It was technically out of budget.

Out of budget within the week they originally wanted, that is.

I knew my clients had a bit of a flexible timeline for their trip and a simple tweak to the week they booked meant that we could shave a bunch of money off the cost and get them that ocean view at just a little over their budget.

I’m SO glad I have great relationships and can take suggestions to my clients, and that they trust me to do what‘s in the best interest of their all too valuable vacation time.

Spoiler alert: they had NO regrets about the little extra they spent for the view and I’m so happy we could make it all work.

If you’d like me to work my magic for you on your getaways this year, I’m just an email or call away (link in bio!).

Blizzard Beach is BACK—and better than ever!

❄️ Walt Disney World’s Blizzard Beach Water Park has reopened, and it’s had some magical upgrades! 🏖️✨ If you’ve been thinking about using that free water park day perk 🆓 on your check-in day instead of hitting the resort pool, what’s new might tip the scales in the water park’s favor, especially if you’re traveling with little “Frozen” fans! 👧❄️

🌊 The Tykes Peak kid-friendly splash area now features “Frozen”-themed touches with Anna, Elsa, and Olaf. ⛄ Just think of the photos! 📸 Plus, they’ve added some new sweet and savory menu items that may give the sand pail ice cream sundae a run for its money. 🍨

⛳ Add to that being able to walk over to Winter Summerland Miniature Golf Course 🏌️‍♀️ to use the Magical Extra free round of mini golf voucher, and that’s a whole lotta fun on Disney’s dime! 💸🎉

🏃‍♀️🧳 While it’s hard not to just drop your bags and hit the theme parks upon arrival, such a free and VALUABLE perk doesn’t come around very often. If I can answer any questions for you about Blizzard Beach or the free water park visit on check-in day perk, drop them in the comments or email me. [email protected]

🧐🥟 What in the name of Bao buns is happening? So many people tell me Disneyland is on their bucket list, but they never seem to make the trip. ✈️ Maybe next year’s holiday gift to yourself is a Lunar New Year Disneyland getaway? 🌙🐉

🎉 The limited-time festive celebration just kicked off at Disney California Adventure Park and pays tribute to Asian cultures through special entertainment, delicious foods, and unique experiences you won’t find any other time of year. How does meeting Mushu 🐲 from “Mulan” sound to you?

All that excitement aside, winter ❄️ at Disneyland Resort often means cooler temperatures, lower crowds, and a more relaxed vacation experience. 🌟

🏰🐉🏮Visiting , but you’ll experience a trip that will really stand out over and above a typical Disney vacation. Think about it and reach out with any questions! 🐍 In the meantime, who was born in the Year of the Snake? If not, what IS your Lunar animal?

Here’s an idea 💡: This spring, skip the crowds and hop on a river cruise instead to see some of the most charming, and often missed, parts of Europe.

But first, you have to choose which river cruise sounds most like you 👇

➡️ The Rhine River: Germany, France, the Netherlands—it’s like a greatest hits album of Europe’s most charming spots. Sail past fairytale castles, wander medieval villages, and soak up all the storybook vibes.

➡️ The Danube River: Ten countries, one epic journey. From Budapest’s glittering lights to Austria’s vineyard-covered hills, this river knows how to keep things interesting.

➡️ The Seine River: Parisian icons? Check. French countryside charm? Double check. This river is basically a love letter to France, and you’re invited to read every line.

Spring is calling, and these rivers are the answer — think mild weather, fewer crowds, and landscapes practically exploding with color.

🎉🎨🎉 It’s opening day for the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts! 🌟 Let’s shine a bright light on the Food Studios, where the dishes look and taste AHHHmazing. 😍 Feast your eyes 👀 on these photos of small bites from past festivals. It seems like they get better and more creative every year! 😋✨

⏳💰Now, let’s get real: I’m all about being strategic with your time and money. If you are on the Disney Dining Plan, save your snack credits and use them at the Food Studios. It’s a great use of your plan! Or if you’re paying cash, do yourself (and your bank account) a favor and get a gift card for the amount of money you are budgeting for food and drink. It’s WAY too easy to keep swiping 💳 and eating without regard for what you’re spending. I may or may not be speaking from experience here. 😅

🍽️ Have you been to EPCOT’s International Festival of the Arts? If so, is it all about the culinary arts for you? If you haven’t been but are curious, ask me anything! 🙋‍♀️ Drop a question or comment below or email me. [email protected] 📩✨

🦒🤩🐅Jambo! If you are a lover of animals , Disney tours, or just want to try something new, Wild Africa Trek at Animal Kingdom is full of thrills, fun, and good eats! This isn’t something you can just show up and enjoy, so here is what you need to “know before you go”:

👤 Who: Guests must be at least 8 years old, between 45-300 pounds ⚖️ (everyone gets weighed beforehand), and at least 48 inches tall. Under 18? Bring an adult!

💰 Price and Times: The tour costs $219-$229 per person and typically runs at 8:45am, 10:15am, and 11:45am daily. Pro tip: Book the earliest slot to avoid the heat ☀️—it’s a 3-hour outdoor adventure! 🌿

🎢 Activities: You’ll explore Animal Kingdom’s habitats, dine on the savanna, and cross two bridges (over a crocodile habitat! 🐊). It’s safe, thrilling, and totally unforgettable. ✨

🎁 Extras: The “snack” included is more like a meal 🍤🥪, with items like tandoori shrimp, chicken wraps, fruit, and sweet treats. You’ll also get professional photos 📸 from your guide, plus a souvenir reusable water bottle to take home! 🎉

🤯 Have YOU tried this one-of-a-kind tour? Share your experience! If not, I’m happy to answer any questions you have!

Saying yes to everything 2025 has to offer:

✅ A spontaneous flight to somewhere unforgettable - YES

✅ Morning coffee watching the early morning sun over the ocean on a beautiful island - YES

✅ Learning to make pasta somewhere in the Tuscan hills - HECK YES!

2025 can and SHOULD be the year you say yes to more of the things you’ve always wanted to do and since my brain thinks in travel my mind immediately goes to hopping on planes and taking trips.

So this is me nudging you to say yes to travel too!

Whether that’s finally touching down in a destination you’ve always wanted to visit, taking a spontaneous trip to switch up the routine, or even just booking a cute hotel for a weekend trip.

Tell me in the comments, have you said yes to any trips this year yet? ⬇️

🚀 Fifty years ago, Space Mountain launched guests into the cosmos for the very first time, and it’s still one of the most popular attractions at Walt Disney World. ✨ (Check out that pic of the first ride vehicle from the Disneyland attraction! 🛸)

Despite all the shiny new additions like Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, TRON Lightcycle / Run, and Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, this classic continues to draw crowds and long wait times. It’s had a couple of refreshes over the years, but nothing monumental.

So here’s the big question:
Does Space Mountain need a change?

🤔 Should it get a major refurb to bring it up to today’s standards?
❓ Is it time to retire this beloved classic and make way for something brand new?
💫 Or do we leave it exactly as it is—a nostalgic staple of Tomorrowland?

🤔 What’s your take? Is Space Mountain still out of this world, or has it reached its final frontier? Let’s talk about this legendary attraction in the comments!

Pixie Dusting Vacations One Family at a Time

Hi there! I’m Kim, a former Walt Disney World Resort Cast Member and Mom to six crazy kiddos (ages 2-14). I am originally from Charlotte, N.C. now living in the Twin Cities Area of Minnesota. I have been a travel agent with Marvelous Mouse Travels since late 2016, but have been planning Disney trips for others since my days working at Disney. One fun fact is that Disney is quite literally the heart of our family since my husband and I met working there! In addition to our many visits to Walt Disney World in Florida, we have cruised with Disney and have visited the Disneyland Resort in California multiple times. Ask me which Disney destination is my favorite and you might be surprised by my answer!

I love to travel and have experience traveling to non- Disney destinations as well. I’ve visited Maui (with kids!), London, Paris, Barcelona, San Diego, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Denver, Chicago, Nashville, New York City, Praque, Salzburg and Vienna, Austria, Turks and Caicos, the Bahamas, and many beach cities along the Southeastern Coast and Florida.

Continuing the expectation of Disney excellence I learned as a Cast Member, the goal of my NO COST SERVICES is to bring my Disney Level of service and knowledge to all my clients’ vacations. No detail is too small if it might add a little pixie dust to someone’s day! I strive to do whatever it takes to go above and beyond to help others have the BEST experience possible.
