3 of my favorite reasons to stay on-property at Walt Disney World!

🚠Complimentary Disney transportation - Disney offers many different kinds of transportation that are fun to mix, match, and explore. I love that you can sit back and relax for the week while Disney gets you where you need to go.

⛳️Magical Extras - Magical Extras include tickets for a free round of mini golf as well as discounts for shopping and restaurants! These are great to take advantage of on a non-park day!

🌟Staying in the Magic - Staying at a Disney resort allows you to keep the magic going even when you're not in the parks. The resorts are well-themed with plenty of activities and hidden gems throughout!

🎶On the 7th day ['til] Christmas, my TA shared with me…🎵

My favorite vacation destination within a 7-hour drive!🚗

Anything under 8 hours in the car is a road trip for my family! The Smoky Mountains are just 7 hours away and a perfect place to visit.

We typically opt for the Gatlinburg area and stay in a cabin in the mountains. The view is unbeatable while being close to trails in the park as well the tourist attractions in town. Each time we visit, we like to try new things while being sure to revisit some favorites!✨

Whether it's already a favorite spot for your family or a place you'd like to visit, I'd love to help you plan your trip!

This melted my heart. Disney magic IS real, and I hope he continues to feel it for years to come💙

10 years ago, Diagon Alley opened as part of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter🪄 at Universal Studios in Orlando! 🌎

You can take the Hogwarts Express🚂 from Diagon Alley to Hogsmeade and Hogwarts Castle at neighboring Islands of Adventure with a unique experience traveling between the two parks. The third addition to the Wizarding World, the Ministry of Magic, will open in May 2025 at Universal's new theme park, Epic Universe!💫

The Wizarding World is just ✨magical,✨ especially around the holidays! I recently had the opportunity to visit the park and take it all in - I highly recommend a visit!
