Platinum Mouse Vacations by Charity

A quick stay at the beautiful Disney Coronado Springs Resort before heading to Port Canaveral.
This is such a beautiful choice when in the area and we were thrilled with the accommodations!
This moderate resort offers a club level and full gym and spa.
My favorite area was the lower lobby reminding me of Barcelona!

🚢Getting ready to embark on my second ADULT ONLY Disney Cruise with two fellow agents on an exclusive pre-inaugural sailing! While we'll be hard at work exploring everything for our clients and team, I know we’re going to have a blast ourselves! And with some strategic holiday fun planned at Walt Disney World, even without park tickets, this trip is going to be incredible!

🎄Just last week, it hit me how many trips I've been finalizing for the holiday season and into the new year, all for ADULTS! Families with adult children, couples, friends, and a solo trip. You truly never outgrow Disney! Both the parks and cruises offer unique, unforgettable experiences, perfect for making cherished memories.💕

For the next few days I can’t wait for you to experience all the incredible things the Disney Treasure has to offer! Plus, we'll be exploring various resorts and new restaurants, all while soaking in the magic of the holiday season!

🎁What trip can I get started for you to give this holiday season?

“Thomas Mazloum, president of Disney Signature Experiences, said Disney Cruise Line has the highest guest satisfaction ratings of his entire department, which also includes Disney theme parks, National Geographic expeditions, Aulani Resort in Hawaii and Disney Vacation Club.”✨

It’s our favorite way to vacation! They truly think of everything and each person in the family can have the best trip ever! 🥰

The race to add bigger and more elaborate features at sea – such as Broadway-caliber shows, ice rinks and themed lounges – has been intensifying in recent years. Disney’s newest ship is the latest example.

🎁If you need help sharing gift ideas for yourself this year, I’ve got your back!

✈️🦃If you find yourself flying on what may be one of busiest travel days of the year, may it be smooth and safe!!
And extra wishes for the unexpected empty row on your flight like Luke has this morning.

What are we thankful this year? Extra thankful today for TSA Pre Check. 😂
Something we’ve had for over 3 years now and highly recommend the initial investment of time and money!
Super helpful when you arrive at the airport 45 minutes prior to actual departure time. But always extra convenient when planning your timing and less hassle when going through security with all of your items.

Safe travels! 🤗

😛This is SUCH EXCITING news for the food allergic community!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Read the full article for all of the details on this new sublingual form of epinephrine that is hopeful to be available in the not so distant future!
(Look how small and portable! And this article is telling how it works FAST!)

In a study with OAS patients, the Anaphylm under-the-tongue epinephrine film resolved mouth allergy symptoms in as little as 2-5 minutes.

Please help!
Today I learned that Chick-fil-A is testing out a new waffle fry recipe in some markets. This new recipe includes food starches that are considered food allergens for many people in our food allergy community.
So many food allergy families rely on Chick-fil-A‘s simple french fry ingredients for safe meals when traveling.
The addition of rice, corn, and pea starches to these french fries will make them no longer safe for so many families.
Please consider contacting Chick-fil-A, as they have suggested on their website, to ask them to not change their simple french fry recipe. Thank you so much!!
Feel free to share this too. 🤗

🚨⚡️ New Lightning Lane Option ⚡️🚨
Please read if you have an upcoming trip!

Just announced that in the coming weeks, Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort will begin piloting a new service providing expedited entry to theme park attractions: Lightning Lane Premier Pass.

Lightning Lane Premier Pass will be offered in very limited quantities and will give guests ONE-time entry to each available Lightning Lane entrance in the theme park they are visiting that day. This includes attractions included in BOTH Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Single Pass, but with Lightning Lane Premier Pass, guests do NOT need to select an experience time. Lightning Lane Premier Pass will be a premium offering, and prices will vary based on the date and theme park guests are visiting.

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

At Walt Disney World, when Lightning Lane Premier Pass launches, it will be available to guests staying at Disney Deluxe or Deluxe Villa Resorts and may be purchased up to seven days in advance of their stay. It will only be valid for use in ONE park of the guest’s choice per day. The first date it will be available is October 30, 2024.

⚡️Lightning Lane Premier Passes can be purchased in the My Disney Experience App beginning at 7 am EST on their eligible day.

⚡️Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Single Pass will STILL be available for purchase on eligible dates based off resort stay or tickets and can be used at MULTIPLE PARKS in one day.

We’ve been dreaming of starting a podcast to inspire and empower food-allergic families to travel, and it’s finally a reality!

I hope you’ll check out and share our pilot episode—and stay tuned for more. We’re already excited about the plans for future episodes. While we learned a lot behind the scenes with this first one, we had a blast making it!
