There is a rumor that Universal Florida is only for older kids. I think that is completely untrue. There are more height requirements then at Disney so that is important to look up. We took my boys at 5 years old and up and they have loved every trip!

26/10/2021

Before we move on from the resorts at Universal Florida, let's talk about the pools!

They are AMAZING most have slides others have lazy rivers or splash pads.

Every price point has a great pool, making a pool day a must do!

Universal Studios Florida Resorts are AMAZING! No joke, they hands down have some of my favorite resorts I have ever stayed out.

And this runs true at every price point from value to deluxe. The value resorts have more amenities than any value resort I have ever seen. The mid-level and deluxe resorts are in walking distance of the parks. But don't worry, if you don't want to walk there are water taxis and buses as well!

All Universal resort guest get to get in the parks a little earlier than other guests. If you stay at a deluxe resort, you get unlimited Express passes for every day of your stay. When you consider that these cost more than $100 per person per day, it is a great perk!

Want to learn more drop a question below or send me a message!

Let's change things up and have a week talking all about all things Universal. Universal does not always get the love it deserves and is for sure one of my favorite places to be! Drop any questions you have below!

Why use a travel planner?

Plans change a lot. Heck, the way Disney does things changes a lot. So having someone to keep up with those changes for you makes all the difference. I make the phone calls, I do the research. You just have to decide what is right for your family and show up.

Just read this recent review from September-

"Hailey was wonderful to work with from start to finish! She went above and beyond to create an itinerary for us that was personalized and so instrumental in helping us to have a smooth vacation! She kept in communication with me and was always available to answer questions! When our trip was delayed due to Covid she worked so hard to change our dates and rebook our park and dining reservations and made me feel so much better during a stressful time. The help she provided was invaluable and I’m so glad we booked with her! We made memories to last a lifetime"

Have you been thinking about planning a trip to Disney but don't know where to start? Or maybe you got started, and then realized you had no idea what to do? Or have you gone a million times, but would just like some help to make things less stressful?

That's what I'm here for! I book your trip, make dining reservations, park passes and everything in between. I'm here to answer questions, explain things that may not make sense at first and just make the experience more enjoyable! I also help monitor discounts for you so you get the best deal possible and help you stay on budget. In the end having me as a travel agent will not cost you any more than booking yourself , plus I might even save you money by letting you know about the discounts.

In the past year a lot has changed, so I am also here to help keep you updated with all the changes and help you figure out what's best for your family.

Also, if you ever have to make a change on your trip or something comes up, I do that for you. Which can basically save you hours on the phone and lots of stress!

To continue our celebration, let's talk about Disney resorts..

A lot of my most favorite memories have taken place at the resorts. They are just as magical as the parks but have a slow pace which is great after a long park day. .

I have stayed in all three types of resort from Value to deluxe. And while you can't expect what you get at a deluxe resort at a moderate or value resort, I have never been disappointed. ❤️

06/10/2021

Next up in our highlight reel of the best parts of Disney World is Hollywood Studios.

My most favorite park from childhood until now. ( Although, when all the new things were being built, I doubted my love for it 🤣 but now that things are all opened I love it once again).

Mickey's Runaway Railroad, Slinky Dog Dash and Rise of the Resistance are some of my favorite rides of all time.

It's a small but great park! 💜

05/10/2021

Can't talk about all the great places in Disney World and miss Magic Kingdom.

Magic Kingdom is the most iconic of all the parks. In my opinion it is the best place to celebrate any holiday or milestone.

Right now Disney World is doing just that by having lots of extra special things going on in the park.

I can't wait until I get to check it all out!

Today in celebration of the 50th anniversary, we are going to celebrate one of my favorite parts of Disney World... The characters..

When you think of characters at Disney you may think of the traditional character meet and greets. However, what is great is there's so many different ways to experience them. From seeing them on rides and in lines, to eating dinner with them, to watching them drive by in a parade and so much more. This has been especially great in current times when physical distancing is necessary.

(Below is a mixture of pictures from pre and post COVID. Things are changing constantly, so be sure to check with me about what character interactions may look like when you go).

It's been fifty years of seeing the characters you love the most come to life. ❤️

03/10/2021

Today as we celebrate the 50th by highlighting different parts of Disney World, we go on a digital trip to Disney World.

Epcot is one of my favorite parks. It is fun as a kid and an adult. It makes my educator heart happy by seeing all you can learn. For the 50th there is a new fireworks show, food and fun. There is also a new ride and two new restaurants that just opened! Plus more is scheduled to open soon!

Here are some pictures from some of my favorite adventures at Epcot.

02/10/2021

Let's continue celebrating the 50th by highlighting one of my favorite parts of Disney World, the water parks.

My very first job was at Typhoon Lagoon so I have a soft spot for the Disney water parks.

As an adult, being able to experience the water parks with my boys has been so magical.

Currently, only Blizzard Beach is open. While I miss Typhoon Lagoon a d hope it opens soon. I have loved Blizzard Beach since middle school so I still highly recommend adding it to your trip!

01/10/2021

Today is Walt Disney World's 50th birthday.

Over the years, Disney World has been one of my favorite places to be. To me, it has always been more than a theme park.

It was the place I went to as a small child. I have vivid memories of cousins and an Epcot ride, that I still love recalling to this day..

It is where my sister and I became super close exploring it in the summers with our annual passes.

It is where I celebrated many birthdays.

It was where I went to grad night with my best friend and other school friends when we graduated highschool, and we thought we were cool and grown.🤣

It was my first job.

It was where I went on many trips to in college with my closest friends at the time. It was a great way to escape the Michigan cold at the time.

It's where my sister took me when I graduated college.

It is where I had my honeymoon.

It's where I reconnected with family.

It is where I brought my babies when they were tiny and keep taking them as they grow.

It is where both of my boys had their first hair cuts.

It is where I went with friends and family and made thousands of great memories. Celebrating holidays, life milestones and time together.

Many people think what is magical about Disney World is the place itself. It's a great place. But what I truly cherish isn't the place but the memories.

Happy Birthday Disney World 🎉 Thank you for the all memories made and all the memories still to come. ❤️

Next highlight in celebration of the 50th anniversary of Disney World is Animal Kingdom.

The youngest of the Disney World parks, Animal Kingdom takes you deep into the world of nature and animals like only Disney can.

It is also home of one of the coolest lands in Disney World, Pandora.

Also, a major plus for this park is the food.

It is a great park and a must do for all ages!

29/09/2021

To celebrate Disney World's 50th, let's talk about the different amazing areas of the world.

First up - DISNEY SPRINGS--

Disney Springs is the shopping area in Disney World. It is a great place to shop, grab something delicious to eat, catch a movie or just chill to take a break from the parks.

This area is free to come to, does not require admission or a park pass.

Recently, a m&m store was added and man is it a fun place to check out. It is also a great place to grab souvenirs if you don't want to have to grab them while you are at the parks.

28/09/2021

14/06/2021

The best part of any vacation?

Family time ♥️

13/06/2021

Disney's Blizzard Beach has always been one of my favorite places. It was so fun to bring my boys and to have a slower paced day during a busy theme park week!

12/06/2021

Ice cream at Disney's Boardwalk is one of our favorite things to do on our resort day. Especially when we stay on the skyliner loop and can get to it easily!

11/06/2021

Another great reason to stay at Disney's Art of Animation is the skyliner. It can take you to other resorts, Epcot and Hollywood Studios!

10/06/2021

Have a large family or just like space in your room on vacation? Then consider a family suite at Disney's Art of Animation on your next trip to Disney World.

Mom and Dad can have their own room, each suite has TWO bathrooms, a kitchenette, a table and a sitting area. At night the table and sitting area can turn into extra beds.

The suites are available in three themes, Lion King, Cars and Finding Nemo.

09/06/2021
