The next Disney World restaurant I’d like to feature is the Hollywood Brown Derby at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. This may be a hot take, but this was one of the most disappointing restaurant experiences we’ve had at Disney World, so far. The service was top notch, but the quality of food for both of our dinners were not great. Unfortunately, being a signature dining experience at Disney World, the price we paid for subpar food was disappointing. In addition, when we visited the Hollywood Brown Derby, we took advantage of the Fantasmic! dining package, guaranteeing us a great view for the nighttime show at Hollywood Studios. This Fantasmic! dining package meant we were paying slightly more than the already high price point at this restaurant. Would we dine at Hollywood Brown Derby again in the future? Maybe, but we will most likely opt for other restaurants (especially ones at lower price points!). #disneyworld #disney #waltdisneyworld #disneyhollywoodstudios #hollywoodbrownderby #disneydining #disneyfood #disneydiningreview #disneytravelagent #disneyvacation
The first Disney World restaurant I’d like to feature is Jiko - The Cooking Place at the Animal Kingdom Lodge. Between the amazing service, delicious meals, phenomenal wine selections & recommendations, and thoughtful & beautiful restaurant theming, Jiko is our favorite dining experience at Disney. We’ve had the opportunity to dine here three times, and the filet is always a standout entree for us. The appetizers, desserts, and drinks are all great, but nothing beats the filet and side of Mac and Cheese, in our opinion! If you do decide to dine at Jiko on an upcoming trip, ensure you take time to explore the Animal Kingdom Lodge’s beautiful theming (both inside and outside on the private Savannah). What a treat! #jikothecookingplace #jiko #animalkingdom #animalkingdomlodge #disneyanimalskingdom #disneyaklresort #disneydining #disneyfood #disneydrinks #zebratini #disneyworld #disney #waltdisneyworld #disneytravelprofessionals #disneytravelagent #disneysignaturedining
For this week’s vacation package quote, we’re highlighting our favorite Disney World resort, Disney’s BoardWalk Inn! This resort offers newly refurbished rooms that are steps away from Hollywood Studios and Epcot. For this package, we are quoting two adults that are staying at the BoardWalk for 7 nights and with 5-days of park hopper tickets in May 2024. Applying the current discounts available, their vacation package would come to a total of $4,665 (prices and availability subject to change). Let’s talk pros and cons of this package. Pros = The BoardWalk Inn is in one of the best locations on all of Disney World property (argueably, it is the BEST location). In addition to being steps away from Hollywood Studios and Epcot, you are within walking distance of all the amentities and restaurants at the BoardWalk, Yacht & Beach Club, Swan and Dolphin, and the skyliner (which provides access to Riviera, Caribbean Beach, Art of Animation, and Pop Century)! Also, the newly refurbished rooms at the BoardWalk Inn feel high-end and worth the price of staying at a deluxe Disney World resort. Cons = being a deluxe resort, the BoardWalk Inn does have higher prices than the value and moderate resorts at Disney World. What do you think about this quote? Would you get booking, or keep looking? #disneyworld #disneysboardwalk #disneyboardwalkresort #disneyresort #disneydeluxeresorts #boardwalkresort #disneyvacation #disneyvacationplanner #disneytravelagent #disneytravelprofessionals #waltdisneyworld #epcot #hollywoodstudios
For this week’s vacation package quote, we’re highlighting Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge resort. This resort offers picturesque views of the resort’s Savannah that many animals call home. In addition, this deluxe resort has some of the most immersive theming and you truly feel like you’re in a lodge overlooking an African Savannah. For this package, we are quoting a family of 3 (2 adults and 1 child between 3-9 years old). They would like to stay in a resort view room for 5 nights and get 4 days of park tickets in September 2024. Applying the current discounts available, their vacation package would come to a total of $3,150 (prices and availability subject to change). Let’s talk pros and cons about this package. Pros = Highly immersive and beautiful resort theming, some of the largest hotel rooms on Disney property, incredible dining available throughout the resort. Cons = Only form of transportation to the parks are buses and located further away from certain parks like Magic Kingdom. What do you think about this quote? Would you get booking, or keep looking? Availability and pricing subject to change. #disneyworld #disney #disneyanimalskingdom #animalkingdom #animalkingdomlodge #disneydeluxeresorts #disneyresort #waltdisneyworld #disneytravelagent #disneytravelprofessionals
We got to experience the new Moana Journey of Water attraction at Epcot during our recent trip. While not the most thrilling attraction to say the least, it was absolutely beautiful to experience! Journey of Water teaches us about the water cycle in a fun and entertaining approach, and you may get a little wet along the way! 💧 There’s also small details throughout that feature some of your favorite characters from Moana, which is a great addition. Definitely worth checking out the next time you’re in Epcot! #epcot #disney #moana #moanajourneyofwater #epcoteducationalexperiences #disneyworld #waltdisneyworld #disneyvacation #disneytrip #disneyattractions #newatdisney #disneytravelprofessionals

The other night, we attended the Disney After Hours event at Magic Kingdom. These After Hours special ticketed events allow you to visit the parks late at night with lower crowds, complimentary snacks and soft drinks, and some special shows/experiences. We were most excited to see the special showing of Disney’s Enchantment, the fireworks spectacular that was featured during Disney World’s 50th Anniversary. This was the first fireworks spectacular we saw at Disney World, so it gives us all the “feels!” We couldn’t pass up the opportunity to see this show in-person one last time! #disneyworld #disneyworld50 #disneysenchantment #disneyfireworks #disneyafterhours #magickingdom #disney #disneyvacation #disneytrip #disneytravelagent
We arrived at Disney World the other day and checked in to the Gran Destino Tower at Disney’s Coronado Springs resort! This resort truly takes our breath away with its high-end finishes and design. What surprises us the most is how moderate the price point is to stay here! The Gran Destino Tower provides you with a deluxe resort vibe and at a much more moderate price point. Some critique this resort due to it’s large size and the fact that there’s only bus transportation to the theme parks, but we have not found either factor to be an issue during our trip, so far. We’re thinking this resort may become a favorite for us! If you’re looking to stay at a high-end Disney resort and not break the bank, let me price out a trip to the Gran Destino Tower for you! #disneycoronadosprings #coronadospringsresort #disneyworld #disneyonabudget #disney #disneyvacation #disneytravelprofessionals #disneytravelagent #grandestinotower #waltdisneyworld
In the upcoming weeks, we’ll be sharing quotes for Disney World vacation packages for different group sizes and preferences! Disney World can be an expensive vacation destination and may feel out of reach, so I’d like to share a variety of options for groups with different budgets. My hope is to share a vacation package option that you can take advantage of and visit the magic of Walt Disney World, regardless of budget! #disneyworld #disney #waltdisneyworld #disneyvacation #disneytrip #disneyquotes #disneyvacationplanner #disneytravelprofessionals #disneytravel #disneytravelagent #vacationmode
Staying in the Magic Kingdom resort area offers great transportation options to guests, most notably to the Magic Kingdom theme park. All the Magic Kingdom resort options on the monorail have both monorail and boat transportation options to get to Magic Kingdom quickly. Some others that are not on the monorail line, like the Wilderness Lodge, offer boat transportation to Magic Kingdom, as well. What’s your favorite Disney World transportation method? #monorailresort #disneymonorail #disneytransportation #disneyworld #disney #disneyboats #magickingdom #disneymonorailresorts #disneygrandfloridian #disneypolynesian #disneycontemporaryresort #disneytravelagent #disneytravelprofessionals
Excited to share that we will be traveling back to Walt Disney World in about two weeks and will be staying at the Gran Destino Tower at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort! This portion of the Coronado Springs Resort was built in 2019 and feels like deluxe, but at a more moderate price point. We are excited to check it out and will be sure to take lots of pictures! #coronadospringsresort #disneyscoronadosprings #grandestinotower #disneyworld #waltdisneyworld #disneyresort #disneytravelagent #disneytrip #vacationmode #disney
What’s a must do activity in Disney’s Animal Kingdom? Visiting Pandora, the World of Avatar, of course! Disney’s Imagineers did a phenomenal job creating an immersive environment with this land in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. In addition to a highly designed and themed land, there are two top attractions to check out in Pandora: Avatar Flight of Passage & Na’vi River Journey. These rides tend to have the longest wait times compared to other attractions at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, but they are well worth the wait! Book your next Disney vacation with me, and I’ll share tips and tricks on how to experience these attractions without waiting too long in ride lines. Vacation smarter, not harder! #disneyworld #animalkingdom #disneyanimalkigdom #disneysanimalkingdom #pandoraworldofavatar #disneytravelprofessionals #waltdisneyworld #disneytravelagent #disneyvacation #disneytrip
Staying on-site at a Walt Disney World resort has many perks! One of the best perks is getting early access to each of the four theme parks, every day. Resort guests can get into the parks 30 minutes before they open to the general public, which provides a great headstart to your day! This will allow you to ride popular attractions before they get busy, or knock out a few less popular attractions in a short amount of time. Contact me to learn more about how this could benefit you on a trip to Walt Disney World! #disneyworld #disneygrandfloridian #waltdisneyworld #disney #disneyresort #disneyhotel #disneydeluxeresorts #grandfloridianresort #disneybenefits #disneytravelprofessionals #disneytravelagent
The Disney Skyliner takes guests to and from both Epcot & Hollywood Studios for guests staying at the following resorts: Art of Animation, Pop Century, Caribbean Beach, and Riviera. Even if you are not staying at these resorts, you are able to take the Disney Skyliner and visit them, or travel between Epcot and Hollywood Studios! You are able to get great views of Walt Disney World when riding the Skyliner, so we highly recommend taking it at least once during your trip! #disneyworld #disney #waltdisneyworld #disneyskyliner #disneytravel #disneytrip #disneytraveltips #disneytips #disneyvacation #disneytravelagent

Today, a client of ours is heading to Walt Disney World for an extended weekend trip with their family! They are staying at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa and we are so excited for them to experience the updated Mary Poppins-inspired rooms at this resort. In addition to the updated rooms at this resort, the Grand Floridian is all set up for their holiday decor (including the giant gingerbread house in their lobby). What a special time to visit this resort and Disney World! #disneyworld #grandfloridian #disneysgrandfloridian #disneytravelagent #disneyvacation #disney #disneygram #disneytravelprofessionals
Take us back to Walt Disney World and their various bars/lounges! We made so many great memories on our most recent trip to Disney, and we can’t wait for these types of moments again in the near future! How do you find ways to “luxuriate” in Walt Disney World? #disney #disneyworld #disneydrinks #lapulapu #disneyspolynesianresort #tambulounge #monorailbarcrawl #disneytravelagent
Now that it’s November, it’s a great time to reflect back on Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party at Walt Disney World. We had the opportunity to experience this party during our recent stay and it was truly magical! Disney provided so many fun experiences to enjoy during the party and it’s almost impossible to do it all. I guess we’ll be going back to enjoy it next year! #disney #disneyworld #mickeysnotsoscaryhalloweenparty #disneyhalloween #disneyparade #bootoyou #disneyparks #disneytravelagent
Disney’s Grand Floridian resort is the flagship hotel at Walt Disney World. Being the flagship resort, the Grand Floridian comes with many perks as well as some pretty high room prices. Is it worth the high cost to stay here? It may be worth it for you if you plan to frequent the Magic Kingdom park and spend a decent amount of time at your resort. However, if you plan to visit the other three theme parks more regularly than the Magic Kingdom, and if you’re just planning to use your hotel room to sleep and get ready, you may not find the high cost worth it for your trip. Personally, while we loved the vibe of the Grand Floridian, we are huge fans of staying in the Epcot resort area instead due to the proximity to Epcot and Hollywood Studios. We aim to stay in as many Disney resorts as possible so I can help you pick the right resort for your trip (based on what you plan to do). Interested in some recommendations?
