It’s PREP TIME again!!!!! You know what that means… I am heading BACK TO DISNEY!!! But this time it’s a 10 Day Family Trip with all 3 kiddos!!! Also, I’ll be 25 and 26 weeks preggo, end of 2nd trimester!!! Is it possible… heck yes!!! I am going to share some of my tips to make this trip successful for my and my growing baby girl bump!!

First off, not sure about you, but I take a lot of vitamins, esp during pregnancy!! Tip one, plan your vitamins out AHEAD of your trip!! Prepare daily baggies, so that you have all you need for the WHOLE day!! Not sure if you will get to come back to the resort… doesn’t matter, because you’ll have your water and baggie of vitamins packed ahead of time!!!

I label the bags for each day, that way, when I wake in the morning, I just grab the ziploc and throw it in my essentials bookbag 🩷🩷

Also, I am OCD about planning… I have check lists on post-it’s all over the house, as well as on my phone!

Different packing bags I need to create and different to-do lists before we head out! Helps me clear my head and make sure I have everything I need for 5 beautiful humans!!

What are some of your MUST-DOs before a vacation?!??

Ohhh Contemporary Resort you were such a special place to stay this summer!!! Overlooking Magic Kingdom every morning and every night was a DREAM!!! You are home to so many delicious restaurants, but my absolute favorite was the quick walk to Magic Kingdom every day!! Most think to take the monorail, but honestly, the walk was so much better!! I can’t wait to return one day with my family!!

Reach out if you are interested in staying on Disney property!!! It’s truly worth every penny!! And I can help you find the most affordable, convenient resort for you and your family!! 🤩🫶🏻✨🧚🏻

07/08/2023

In less than 48hrs I’ll be back on the rooftop of the Contemporary Resort eating at one of the most astounding restaurants ever, California Grill!!!! Finding it hard to sleep knowing Pixie Trip is T W O sleeps away!!! 😍

If you have ever wondered what the difference is between the three levels of resorts, stay tuned, because I want to share about the positives for each level!!!

Until then, reach out if you’re interested in sharing this SAME view and amazing experiences both this year and next year!!! ✨🤩🫶🏻

Some of my FAVORITE “Oh My Gosh, We Have ARRIVED” moments that I always look forward to once we arrive on Disney World property!!! 😍

1. The Classic “WDW” sign you drive under to officially be considered on Disney property!!! Nothing more exciting than driving under it! 😍

2. Arriving at the MCO Airport!!! I love how it’s built with a sun roof, and hotel inside!! Riding your first monorail to get to your luggage, and then grabbing either a Lyft/Uber ride, rental, or bus (we’ve done all 3!!), it just all gets my heart pounding!!

3. Arriving in your room ON PROPERTY truly getting the MAGIC flowing!!! Your screen is personalized to your family and celebration! It’s truly amazing!!!

4. Arriving at Magic Kingdom and seeing the train station… know long you are seconds from entering the most incredible, beautiful, FUN, and seriously magical park on the planet!!!

Life is perfection when you truly take a moment to get away from the hustle and bustle of life and indulge in the Disney Magic! ✨

One thing I love about Disney is that the company truly LOVES to celebrate people in so many ways!!! Whether it’s a promotion, baby, engagement, sobriety, birthday, etc. Disney is ALL about making you feel special and celebrated!! If you make it a point to wear your pins (birthday, anniversary, or celebration pins) MULTIPLE cast members are going to make you feel special, loved and celebrated!!! 💓💓💓 From the moment you walk out of your room, enter a bus, are greeted by your waitress, tap into a ride with your magicband, walk by a cast member, watch a parade, order a Starbucks… you name it, every cast member is making you feel like a celebrity!! It’s amazing and so special!! They LOVE first time visitors, too!!

Seriously, if you have an amazing accomplishment coming up, or an event you want celebrated, please reach out to me and let me help you book the most incredible vacation!! WE ALL DESERVE TO TAKE A BREAK AND CELEBRATE LIFE!! Disney will treat you like a celebrity and you’re going to love every second of it!! It’s the MAGIC of the cast members! 🧚🏻✨🥰

Also… I’ll never forget this magical moment with Snow White!! Before leaving our table she asked if she could deliver a wish to her wishing well for me… crazy enough I told her in July that I was hoping to be pregnant again and have another sweet baby 🎀 With a whole lotta prayer and excitement about my wish that I shared, Ted and I are ecstatic to share that we are pregnant with a precious baby girl!! 💓 I’m looking forward to this dinner again in August to share our news with Snow White! 🤍💗🤍

04/16/2023

Getting ready to work on some quotes for a few friends!!! Can’t stop thinking about the special dining experiences Disney offers! Ted and I literally had the BEST time at Story Book Dining back in July last summer. This is one of the hottest dining places around, but given the opportunity to help you plan your magical vacation, I can guarantee to inform you of all the delicious places to eat AND I’ll get you the most demanding, incredible dining reservations!! Let me know if you’re ready to book the most magical, fun, memory-making vacation this summer!! 🤗✨🏰🧚🏻

Big question!!! Is it worth it to take a one year old to Disney?!?!

My answer: YES, YES and… ABSOLUTEY YES!! ☺️

I was very skeptical and very nervous back in January, planning our quick vacation with our one year old in February, but let me just say, Henry did amazing!!

PROS:
-His giggles and smiles were everything to us!!
-FREE FOOD!! He got his own Mac and Cheese (complementary) at Be Our Guest… He got his own plate at Tusker House… FREE!!! He gets to eat off our plates and share our food… it was a steal ✨
-Everyone can use the afternoon naps if you want to head back to your resort… or the stroller was super convenient for H when we were at Magic Kingdom
-Very easy to use a stroller around the parks!! And, STROLLERS HELP YOU CARRY THINGS!!
-Kiddos fly FREE on your lap through 2yrs old!

Cons:
-Don’t have the highest expectation to stay in the park all day through all night… sadly we did miss fireworks at MK and HS because H just needed to be back at the resort
-They don’t remember the experience (BUT parents do and pictures last forever!!)

What I can say is… don’t be scared to book a trip if you have littles!! I have a lot of experience with being in the parks because of our trips with H and my niece Rowan!! I am here to HELP you make the easiest, my magical trip for you and the whole family!!

✨✨Remember, my services are completely FREE and you only need a $200 deposit when you create your initial reservation!✨✨

One of my best memories in the parks this past summer was running into my FAVORITE GOULART students at Pirates of the Caribbean in Magic Kingdom!!! I’m even more excited to help plan their vacation with this sweet mama this coming June!! 💚✨🧚🏻

03/09/2023

Friends!! Listen up!! Disney is offering an AMAZING deal right now until March 27th for their SUMMER months!!! If you book a stay for 5-nights and 4-parks, you can earn up to $750 FREE in a gift card credit towards your Dining!!! 🌮🍕🍟🥗🎂🍔

This is amazing news!!!! If you book anytime from June 23rd-Sept 14th, staying on Disney property you will earn this gift card! Depending on the type of resort you book will depend on the amount you receive back!!

Y’all, Disney has some of the most delicious food on this planet… not even kidding!! Let me help you plan your SUMMER VACATION!! You don’t want to miss this opportunity!!

Don’t forget, if you book ANY Disney Resort Property, you get in the parks 30min earlier than everyone else, and if you stay at a Deluxe Resort, you also get additional time at night at Epcot and Magic Kingdom on specific nights!!! This is INCREDIBLE!!

If you’re looking for the PERFECT place to stay on Disney property, I definitely recommend Port Orleans: French Quarter!💖 Some of my favorite things about this resort:
✨I requested 1st level, pool view and y’all… we were literally right in front of the kids water area and 10 steps away from the boat dock!!!
✨ Smaller grounds and quick walking distance to everything!!
✨2 water play areas!!! Beautiful, warm pool set at 82* all year long and an incredible splash zone!
✨complimentary life vests and towels for every size!
✨BEIGNETS!!!! They were sooooooo delicious!!!! And the dipping sauces were everything! I recommend the salted caramel!
✨Busses were amazing!! We never waited more than 5-10 minutes for a bus to get to the parks or to get back to the resort
✨Fair price for the resort!!
✨Connects to a much bigger side of Port Orleans: Riverside!! Beautiful walk over the bridge, great for a run/walk exercise and you have access to carriage rides and fine dining on Riverside grounds
✨Boat access to Disney Springs!!! We loved this about the resort!!! Such a relaxing way to get to the amazing restaurants and fun shopping in Disney Springs!
✨Resort dining choices actually tasted really good! I throughly enjoyed the baked chicken, the pasta and chicken parm and the pizza!!! We ordered a pizza for the Super Bowl night and y’all… it was actually really good!! Their dough was on point!!
✨Cutest little playground for Baby H!!!

I hope this helps with an incredible, moderate resort recommendation!!! If asked would I book here again, my answer would be absolutely!!! ✨🫶🏻🧚🏻☀️

Take me back to the most magical place on earth!!! Animal Kingdom did NOT disappoint yesterday! We took advantage of this park even though we had to fly home yesterday evening! I literally get teary-eyed on my last days in the parks… I seriously never want to leave. Can’t wait to return this summer!! Let me help you all plan the most magical vacation!! ✨🧚🏻☀️💚 Once you step foot on Disney property, you’ll never want to leave!

We have landed safely in my favorite city!! I have tried a new company, The Sunshine Flyer, to get our family from the airport to the hotel. A few reasons I tried this company:
-The buses are precious, especially when they are lined up in a row! They actually look like trains!
-The price was comparable to Mears; $32 pp round trip and Henry was free!
-They promised to not have you waiting for more than 20min ✅
-We didn’t have to travel with a car seat for our one year old!

What I’ve noticed so far:
-Emails are very timely and informative
-Text messages are sent out before the trip
-We literally grabbed our luggage on 2nd floor, took elevator to first floor, and we were right at the check in counter.
-Walked up immediately to check in; conductor walked in and started talking to me and Ted immediately (very nice!!)
-In less than 5min. our resort was called to board!!!
-One of the conductors we started talking with, Randall, is an actual RETIRED IMAGINEER!!! How cool is that?!?! He couldn’t have been nicer and was great with Little H
-Bus wasn’t crowded at all; 4 other families.
-It’s stopping at 4 resorts, I believe. We will be the 2nd stop (Port Orleans: French Quarter)
-Once we boarded the bus, it took less than 5min to pull off!
-We are expected to ride for 45min.
-They’re playing movies for the kiddos and H is all about it!!
-So far, I’m sold!!! 🙌🏻🧚🏻💚

02/08/2023

Something you want to think about a few nights before you start packing… what important items need to be 100% charged?!?! One of the things I have started packing on my Disney trips is my personal surge protector charging cord. We have NUMEROUS things we need charged nightly and it has helped tremendously to have one place in the room where I go to nightly to get our things charged up for the next FULL day in the parks!

Things to consider charging:
-cell phones
-iPads/tablets
-Apple Watch or FitBit
-Charging Packs
-Baby Sound Machines (not pictured)
-fans
-toothbrushes
-baby monitor (if you choose to bring one)

Disney has improved on the number of outlets they have in rooms and now provide USB charging outlets, but having my own surge protector gives me 6 extra places to charge all of our items!

02/04/2023

The countdown is on!! In O N E W E E K my family and I get to dine in one of my favorite restaurants, Be Our Guest!! Ya’ll I literally think of their French Onion Soup on the daily!

Just a heads up, one of my ✨FREE services ✨ I’ll provide, when you book your vacation through me, is the fact that I’ll share a plethora of great dining options, create a plan-of-action for what order we’ll need to reserve these popular reservations, and then I will PERSONALLY wake up at 5:40am to make sure I get all of your dining reserved for you 60 days out from your trip!!! Get ready to have your tastebuds buzzing because Disney provides you the MOST delicious, detailed and beautiful dishes throughout all of their properties!! 🤤

✨FIRST GIVEAWAY!!!! ✨
I will pull the name of the winner this Sunday, February 5th at 5:00pm!!! 🧚🏻
