🤔 And the correct answer to yesterday's question is....

Mary Poppins and Bert! ☂️

This year for Halloween my husband and I went retro Disney and dressed as Mary Poppins and Bert from the classic 1964 Disney film, Mary Poppins.

It was super fun to do and brought back fond memories as I actually was Mary Poppins in a show when I was younger.

I think our look is "Practically Perfect in every way" as Mary Poppins would say herself! ❤️

💥 Friday Funday! 💥

The past few years for Halloween my husband and I have dressed as Disney characters together 😊

Tomorrow we will celebrating the spooky season at a Halloween party and of course we will be sticking with the Disney tradition this year!

🤔 What 2 Disney characters do you think we will portray this year?! (And if you already know, don't comment and ruin the surprise for others!)

To give a little help, here are some of the characters we have done in the past:

🪝Captain Hook and Smee
🌺 Moana and Maui
🧞‍♂️ Jasmine and Aladdin
👻 The Maid and Butler from the Haunted Mansion

So the answer is NOT any of those!

Have fun guessing! I will post the correct answer this weekend after the party!

Comment with your guess below! 🎃💀

💥 This question is for my fellow New Jerseyans (or those that used to live in NJ) 💥

🎃 Tonight is the night before Halloween, what do you call it?!

I call it Goosey night! I know it doesn't really make sense but that's what I have always called it!

Comment below what you call it ⬇️

🦆 Goosey Night
😈 Mischief Night
🥬 Cabbage Night
🤔 Something else?

🍿 Travel Tip Tuesday! 🍿

Before leaving the Disney Parks to head back to your resort at the end of the night, grab a last minute refill for your reusable popcorn bucket if you have one!

You can snack on the popcorn while waiting for transportation to your resort or even on the bus ride back. It also makes the perfect midnight snack while you are winding down in your room and getting ready for bed. 🛌

🎉 Just booked!! 🎉

One lucky couple will be escaping the NJ cold this Winter and heading down to Walt Disney World for a weeks long vacation!

The couple will be staying at one of the most romantic resorts on Disney property, Disney's Port Orleans Riverside!

The resort not only has picturesque grounds and beautiful architecture reminscient of the Antebellum South, but it also offers lots of fun activities for couples to do such as riding surrey bikes, taking the ferry to Disney Springs for a romantic dinner, or even a horse drawn carriage ride around the resort.

I know they will have an amazing time and cannot wait to hear all about it!

If you are going to Walt Disney World October 30th of this year or later, you will want to read this!

And to any of my Deluxe clients visiting, I will be getting in touch regarding this new option available for you and go over more details!! 📝

💥 BREAKING NEWS!!! 💥

Walt Disney World and Disneyland will now offer a NEW Premier Pass to cut down on wait times for attractions!

Beginning October 30, 2024, Walt Disney World will begin piloting the rollout of Lightning Lane Premier Pass with very limited quantities for Guests staying at Disney Deluxe Resorts, Disney Deluxe Villa Resorts and other select hotels. It will be available to purchase 7 days prior to check in. Pricing will fluctuate depending on the park and the day of use.

At Disneyland Resort, the Lightning Lane
Premier Pass will be available first come,
first served. The first date it will be available for use in the parks is October 23, 2024 and will be available for purchase beginning 2 days in advance of a theme park reservation and is valid for use in both theme parks.

The Premier Pass will allow you entry to each available Lightning Lane experience once per day (including the most in-demand attraction) WITHOUT having to make any reservations! You simply walk up to an attraction, scan your Magic band or ticket, and enter the Lightning Lane to ride.

If you are a fan of the current a la carte Lightning Lane system where you pre select 3 rides or attractions, don't worry! As of this time there is no change to the current Lightning Lane Multi Pass or Lightning Lane Single Pass. It will still be available via the My Disney Experience app for purchase.

This is just an additional option that allows for less planning!

🎉 Just booked! 🎉

Congrats to the "G" Family for booking your Walt Disney World Vacation!

They will be visiting this December and staying at the Walt Disney World Swan & Dolphin!

Although not Disney owned, the hotel is a Walt Disney World partner hotel so it offers many of the amenities on-site guests receive such as early entry into the parks. The location is also great as the hotel offers ferry service to both Epcot and Hollywood Studios and is walking distance to Disney's Boardwalk area to dine and shop.

I know they will have an amazing time on their vacation and can't wait to hear all about it!

🤔 What do you do when a Hurricane cuts your long awaited Disney Vacation short?

You book another Disney vacation to make up for it! 🥳

That is exactly what the "P" Family is doing! Since their Disney vacation this past week was shortened due to the hurricane, they decided they would like another vacation to the most Magical Place on Earth to get to do everything they missed the first time.

I just helped them plan a trip for this December and this time the grandparents are coming along for the ride too! They will be enjoying some family time while also visiting the Disney Parks, SeaWorld, and of course Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party 🎄🎅

I am so happy for them to spend the holidays at the Most Magical Place on Earth and get another chance to enjoy everything Walt Disney World has to offer! I know they will have an amazing time ❤️

10/11/2024

🎉 Congrats to the "M" Family! 🎉

They are going to Walt Disney World and Universal Studios on a fun filled Family Vacation!

For their upcoming Orlando vacation they will be getting to stay at not one, not two, but THREE amazing resorts!

While visiting Universal Studios they have chosen to stay at the gorgeous Loews Royal Pacific Resort. The resort combines South Pacific decor with modern and luxe details. The best part of the resort though is that they get Universal's Express Unlimited for FREE included with their stay!

After spending a few nights at Universal Studios they will be heading over to Walt Disney World where they will be splitting their stay between Disney's Polynesian Village Resort and a Cars Family Suite at Disney's Art of Animation Resort!

Both of their Disney resorts offer amazing theming, awesome feature pools, close proximity to the parks, and are perfect for their family to spend some downtime when relaxing after the parks.

I am so excited for them to enjoy it all! They picked some really great resorts and I am so happy I could be apart of the planning process and help them plan their Magical Vacation ✨️
