We have really enjoyed the pool this week at Disney’s Grand Californian Resort & Spa. The pool is called the Redwood Pool and themed after the Redwood Forest. It features a 90-foot-long waterslide that winds around a giant redwood tree stump. The lounge chairs here are AMAZING. Nap time! lol! Need lunch? No problem! The bar and grill delivers right to your seat! Forget sunscreen? They have a complimentary sunscreen and aloe station! Want refreshing water? They have that too! We spent the entire day at the pool on Sunday and I highly recommend building in a rest pool day.

🍩 It’s National Donut Day! And there is no better donut than Voodoo Doughnuts at Universal’s CityWalk.

Pro tip - the line for donuts is horrible, especially in the evening hours. You can avoid the line in a few ways:

🍩 Go early in the day and drop them off at your room.
🍩 Submit your donut order through mobile ordering on the Universal app and pick up from the stand outside the store.
🍩 My personal favorite - Walk straight past the line if you’re going to pick up a pre-boxed Voodoo dozen! Just tell the attendant at the door. It has a fantastic variety and is what we always buy!

Today is National Drive In Movie Day!

Take in dinner and a show "50s-style" at the Sci-Fi Dine In Theatre at Disney's Hollywood Studios! You dine right inside your own personal convertible.

Featuring all-American cuisine and sci-fi movie clips on the big screen, this is such a fun and unique dining experience that your whole family will enjoy! It doesn't get any better than burgers and milkshakes at the drive in...am I right?

Reservations are highly recommended, as this is a very popular table service restaurant.

🤧The end of Spring head cold has hit me full force! It made me think: Do you know there are options available to you if you have a medical need at Walt Disney World? 🤒

⛑️ Each park has a first aid center with nurses on staff. They are able to help out with needs like over-the-counter medications, bandaids and bandages, places to rest for getting overheated, refrigerated medication storage, and sharps disposals. 🩹

👩🏼‍⚕️ Also on the My Disney Experience app, you can have a virtual medical visit, order prescriptions for delivery, or find the nearest urgent care.

😊 Many medical needs won’t even require you to leave property!

✨May the Fourth has arrived!✨While the Mandalorian has captured hearts everywhere with little Grogu, did you know that YOU can be a Bounty Hunter at Galaxy’s Edge? All you need is a Magic Band+ and your phone! 📲

🗺️ The Batuu Bounty Hunters game is an interactive adventure using the Play Disney Parks mobile app connected to your Magic Band+. As a bounty hunter, you're tasked with hunting down virtual characters hidden throughout the Black Spire Outpost.

🎯 You'll receive a bounty mission through the app, including details about the target you need to find. These missions vary, offering a range of characters to track down.

🔎The app will access your phone's camera to use AR, guiding you to look for visual cues and symbols hidden around the outpost. These symbols, when viewed through the app, provide hints and reveal the location of your target.

💰Once you've found your target, the app simulates capturing them. Successful hunters are rewarded with galactic credits within the game.

🗣️Throughout the game, players may interact with physical elements and cast members who are in character.

🔁 There are multiple bounties and challenges so you can play over and over!

May the FORTH be with you! Happy Star Wars Day!!!

✨Stars Wars week continues! You can build your own lightsaber at Savi’s Workshop or your own little droid buddy at Droid Depot in Galaxy’s Edge!

🗡️At Savi’s Workshop, you are taken with a group (about 14 builders) to a secret hideout in a cave. You will choose one of four specific hilts for your saber. The guide goes through each piece and talks as you build it. Then the Force guides you as you choose your kyber crystal (the piece that lights the color of your saber). Near the end, you are visited by a special familiar guest and have a ceremony where you all light your sabers at the same time (it’s really cool). Some things to know. These ARE NOT TOYS. They are very heavy and something to display, not fight with. Recommended age is 5 and up (although my personal recommendation is older than that - at least pre-teen so they understand it’s not a toy). You receive a carrying case for your saber. One guest can accompany the builder. The saber costs $249.99 plus tax, which now has to be paid at the time the reservation is made (ps. I make those reservations for you). You can buy extra kyber crystals to change out the color of your lightsaber at Dok Ondar’s.

🤖Droid Depot is fun for all ages. You can pick between the two styles of astromech units: the R-series (the R2-D2 style) or the BB-series (the BB-8 style). You are given a blueprint of the needed parts and then you head to the conveyor belt. All different color parts are rolling past you as you make choices for what you want your droid to look like. After you gather all needed parts, you head to a building station where a guide is located if you need assistance. You choose a personality chip for your droid (don’t worry, you can buy extra chips). When you’re finished, you receive a cardboard box to transport your new buddy, or you can pay extra for the special backpack carrier. The droid costs $119.99 plus tax, which has to be paid at the time the reservation is made (ps. I make those reservations for you as well).

We’ve built both, so if you have questions, fire away!

✨Star Wars week continues! Today’s focus is on Rise of the Resistance attraction.

🤯 Two words - mind-blowing! This is arguably the best attraction at Walt Disney World and a do not miss (it’s at Disneyland too)! It combines a walk through, live action, a trackless ride vehicle, a quick free-fall drop, and motion simulation!

🚀 You are part of the Resistance and the First Order has found your location on Batuu. You attempt a harrowing escape in a ship where a firefight ensues, but your ship is caught by the First Order. You are taken onto their ship as a prisoner, where you must escape. But beware because danger lurks around every corner as Kylo Ren and Storm Troopers attempt to stop you!

⏱️ Utilizing early entry as a Disney Resort guest or buying Individual Lightning Lane is necessary for this ride to avoid hours (yes, plural) in line. But DO NOT MISS IT.

Since May is here, let’s celebrate Star Wars leading up to May the Fourth!

🪐 Oga's Cantina, located in Galaxy's Edge at both Walt Disney World and Disneyland, places you directly on the planet of Batuu in a hangout for smugglers, pilots, and adventurers exploring the edge of space.

🤖 It is full of Easter eggs you’ll enjoy discovering (hint - you may recognize the DJ from Star Tours prior to refurbishment).

🍹 The menu features an assortment of non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages with names like "Fuzzy Tauntaun" and the "Yub Nub". The cantina also serves a limited selection of out of this world snacks.

🗓️ Even though Oga’s is not a full-service meal, reservations are highly recommended (I do those for you when you book through me, by the way 😉).

Oga's Cantina is a must-do for any Star Wars fan!

3 words to describe Loews Royal Pacific: tropical, peaceful and convenient.

This resort includes unlimited Express Pass for your entire stay…. Saving you from standing hours in the standby line!

Easily go to the theme parks or City Walk on a water taxi or walking trail. The location is convenient to everything Universal has to offer.
