We detoured over to Universal for one of the Orlando Informer Meetups! The meetup is essentially an after-hours event at Universal hosted by the Orlando Informer company. Your ticket includes admission to both Universal theme parks (park-to-park access), unlimited food and non-alcoholic beverages, and the ability to enjoy most of the attractions with little to no wait times. It was an amazing way to experience the parks! I got to ride Velocicoaster for the third time and try all of the drinks in the Wizarding world (I am now a fan of hot butterbeer!).

Huge food haul from some of our Disney eats! We mostly dined at quick service restaurants, but did make some time to enjoy a table service meal at Tony's in Magic Kingdom. If you time the reservation just right and get sat on the patio you can enjoy the Festival of Fantasy parade from your table like we did. 😋 Best foods of the trip included mac and cheese from Gasparilla Island Grill and Flame Tree BBQ, the GIANT cheese sticks from Tony's, cheeseburger spring rolls from the cart in Adventureland at Magic Kingdom, cinnamon rolls from Gaston's Tavern, beignets from S**t Cat Cafe, and all of the freshly baked cookies and treats from Olivia's Kitchen that I had delivered to the hotel for our check-in day. 😍😎

One of the many reasons I love Disney World: you never know where you'll find a ✨magical✨ surprise! On the day we visited Animal Kingdom it also happened to Mickey Mouse's birthday. When we came out of one of the buildings, we stumbled across this message left behind from one of the cast members. 👏

Now that we have returned from our trip, I'm excited to share some memories from our time in Disney World and Universal Studios! The highlight of our trip was the Wild Africa Trek, a behind the scenes small group experience where you have the opportunity to see many of the wild animals of Disney's Animal Kingdom up close. We were rigged up with harnesses that were used to safely allow our group to step into special areas above the enclosures for the hippos and crocodiles. We also got to go on a private safari and see the giraffes, wildabeasts, elephants, zebras, cheetahs, flamingos and more. The tour also included a short lunch break with African inspired food at a beautiful private stop in the middle of the savanna. Pictures do not do this view justice! 10/10 worth the cost and time to participate in this experience.

Today we travel to Disney World!!! Another special addition to this trip is that we got tickets for Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, which is where I was posing in this photo last year! The party is an after-hours event filled with holiday spirit where you can meet some rare characters, ride the rides with very short wait times, and see the Christmas parade and fireworks show. Also they offer free cookies and cocoa/eggnog/apple cider! Looking forward to getting festive for the holidays with Mickey and his friends. 💕

Only 4 more days until we kick off this amazing trip! Something special about this trip for us is that we will be traveling as a group of 4! My husband and I will be joined by his sister and her wife. I'm so excited to have the family along to help with tasting everything and keeping us entertained while we wait for stuff. The more the merrier! 👯👯‍♀️

Another special thing we've spent extra 💲 on for this trip: one night of Orlando Informer Meetup tickets at Universal Orlando. This special event hosted by the Orlando Informer company will give us late night access into both theme parks, with very limited wait times for rides and unlimited food and non-alcoholic beverages included with the ticket. It's basically a park to park ticket with unlimited express and unlimited food. The event starts at park close (8pm on the night we go) and lasts until 1:30am, so you get 5.5 hours of the event with your ticket (plus you can enter the park early at 5pm).

Quick price check: a one day park to park plus unlimited express for the date we are going would have set us back $425 per person. The OI Meetup tickets that we bought early on pre-sale were about $272 per person.

We are so excited to ride all of our favorite thrill rides again and taste a ton of different food around the parks!

One of the special things that we have spent extra 💲 on to make this trip special is Lightning Lane passes. Disney has made lots of changes to the old Fastpass system, which was redeployed as Genie+ for the last couple years until the most recent updates in late summer this year.

Long story short, lightning lanes are a paid upgrade that will enable us to pre-select a few attractions to skip the lines for, and when we redeem those we will be able to make reservations for more (subject to availability). We chose to purchase the lightning lane multipasses for 3 of our 4 park days, as well as a lightning lane single pass for Guardians of the Galaxy in Epcot. It was about $100 extra per person total, but will save us a lot of time waiting in ride queues!

✨Now let's play a game! What would you rather....✨

1 - spend $100 per person to skip the lines for 10+ rides (potentially saving 3-6+ hours in queues)

OR

2 - spend $100 per person to eat at a character meal, such as Cinderella's Royal Table where you can eat inside Cindy's castle and meet a handful of princesses

November is finally here and my next trip to Disney (& Universal!) is around the corner. Countdown to departure is 8 days!!! Looking forward to the beautiful holiday decor and experiencing all 4 Disney Parks plus both of the Universal Orlando parks during the Orlando Informer meetup. Throughout the next week I'll share more info about how we are making this trip extra special. ✨

Disney just released inventory to book packages, hotels, and tickets for November and December 2025! Plan ahead for the holiday season next year and start saving and paying for your trip now. As always, I will keep tabs on the special offers released later in 2025 to make sure you are getting the best price for your trip. Reserve your stay in the magic for $200 for a ticket and hotel package. And don't forget, guests staying at a Disney World resort hotel next year get ✨ FREE ✨ water park access on their check in date!

If you're interested in some of the more in demand room types like Value Resorts, especially family suites at All Star Music and Art of Animation, let's make sure to get it reserved sooner than later because they will book up for the holidays!

Cruise Food Friday! 🌮🍕🍔🍝 Sharing a few pictures of what I ate and drank on the Disney Wish and also my lunch from the private island, Castaway Cay. Overall, the food was good! I tend to have a simple palate (the chicken tenders and fries were the best and I ate them faster than I could get a picture lol), but I also tried some new foods. The tacos on the pool deck were really good! Also, the menus in the main dining rooms were themed to each restaurant and had a lot of options ranging from gourmet entrees to simple plates. Fun fact: you can always order a side of mashed potatoes with your meal even if you don't see them on the menu. 😉

What are your favorite things to eat on a cruie?

✨Breaking news! ✨ Universal has confirmed the opening dates for the new park, Epic Universe! Booking begins next week and these tickets are definitely going to sell fast. Who wants to plan their trip for next year? Let me know ASAP so you don't miss out on your chance to visit during the park's inaugural year. 🤩🤩🤩

I have so much to share with you all about my recent trip on my first Disney cruise! This was my 5th cruise in total but my first with Disney and it did not disappoint! We sailed on a 3 night Halloween on the High Seas itinerary on the Wish. Here are my overall thoughts, I will definitely go into more detail in the coming weeks.

1. A Disney cruise would be perfect if you have a family with kids. As an adult couple with no kids we definitely felt outnumbered by all of the families on the ship, but we did experience a few adult-only activities which were also offered on a daily basis. But, if you have kids that love Disney, Marvel, Pixar, Star Wars...they will be immersed from the kids clubs (which are included with your cruise fare for kids 3+) and all over the ship. We loved the attention to detail and theming in every corner!

2. If you value incredible customer service, this cruise line will exceed your expectations. The cast members for DCL were doing everything they could to make sure we had the best experiences. Our dining room staff were the best part of the dinners, adding personal recommendations, dancing, singing, and just having a wonderful time doing their jobs. We also got to interact with a very passionate tour guide, our room host who remembered our names and always checked in with us, and lots of character attendants who took pictures and kept the meet and greets moving. The cast members are the magic that makes Disney service worth every penny.

3. Taking a 3 night cruise was not enough! Jesse and I both agree that to have enough time to do what you want to do, 5-7 nights is really the sweet spot for cruises. I would probably only recommend a 3 night sailing to someone who is afraid to cruise and wants to try a shorter trip to see if they like it. We spent most of the time rushing around between activities and all of the places we wanted to see on the ship, so this trip was not exactly a time for relaxing (guilty - I am terrible at relaxing!). We were never bored or looking for something to do! Our next Disney cruise is already being planned since we didn't feel like we finished what we started. 😉

Today's the day! After an excellent flight last night (shout out to Southwest!) we have arrived in Orlando ready to embark on a much needed weekend cruise celebrating our 5th anniversary. Excited doesn't even begin to describe how I feel about this one. I'm so ready to unplug and recharge with my best friend. Tips, tricks, pictures, and videos to come soon! 😎🤗

For today's tip: when you book a pre-cruise stay at the Hyatt in the MCO airport or on Disney Property, DCL transportation can be booked to the port making the journey easy and also ensuring you get an early boarding time!

🔊 Sound on! 🔊 Did you know that Disney Cruise Line has a cool feature where you can have a character call your phone leading up to your trip? We tested it out with Mickey and Minnie. This is so cute! It would be an awesome way to reveal a surprise trip to your kids.

Room tour in Chicago!
