Allow me to prove you wrong if you think you’d be bored on a Disney Cruise or that it’s just one big floating character meal. It’s packed with activities and experiences for EVERYONE, and here’s just a glimpse of your options:

🎨 Animation classes
✂️ Crafts
❓🎲 Trivia & Bingo
🍹 Mixology classes
🍷 Wine tastings
🎭 Broadway-style shows
🎬 First run movies
🌊 Adults-only pools
💆‍♀️ Spa treatments
🍸 Bars & lounges (so many!)
💦 Waterslides
🏋️‍♀️ Fitness center
🍽️ Fine dining

And that’s just the start. I didn’t even touch on the ports and excursions!

There is something for everyone on a Disney Cruise!

I LOVE the new Polynesian Tower! 🌺 It is perfectly situated on the water, the Moana themed pool is adorable and the lookout decks are incredible! However if staying there isn’t in the cards…you can still enjoy the Wailulu Bar and Grill! With indoor and outdoor seating and the best burger 🍔 I have ever had…it should not be missed! You may even be lucky enough to see Happily Ever After during your meal! 🎆 🏰

✅ Marathon complete!!! I finished the 26.2 mile final race of the Challenge qualifying me as a D***y FINISHER!!! 48.6 miles!! 💜💚💜 The race was fantastic! I met some characters, rode Everest and finished strong! We started running through the World Showcase in Epcot, headed to Magic Kingdom where I ran down Main Street and right under the castle! Next we went to Animal Kingdom, hit a few parking lots 😂, cut through Hollywood Studios and ended back at Epcot! It was the best weekend ever!

12/01/2025

✅ Half Marathon complete!!! The third race of the D***y Challenge took us through Epcot AND Magic Kingdom. I can’t even explain how it feels to run down Main Street while everyone is cheering and seeing the castle all lit up! It was so much fun….minus the downpour at the beginning of the race! I was so lucky to have great friends cheering me along the way! One more to go!!!!

10K Complete!!! A run through World Showcase and the Boardwalk was the 2nd race of the D***y Challenge. I enjoyed theming from the 50’s and 60’s and a few character stops!

10/01/2025

✅ 5K complete!!! Suuuuuper cold and windy temps didn’t stop this race from being fun! Movies from the 30’s and 40’s were featured on this day. This was race 1 of 4 for the D***y Challenge.

Chances are no matter where you call home (unless it’s Hawaii 🌺🏖️), winter has set in ❄️☃️ and it’s not even that fun anymore without Christmas lights. 🎄 This is the perfect time to say, “Aloha” to Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa! January in Oahu is “cooler,” and by cooler I mean between 70-80 degrees (ahhhhh 🏝️☀️). I’d like to add “get to Aulani” to my New Year’s Resolution list and kiss this winter goodbye. 😘 I’ll gladly trade my scarf for a lei 🌺 and my hot cocoa for a piña colada! 🍹✨

Aulani is more affordable than you may think, and Disney is often offering great promo rates. I’d love to help you get to this piece of Disney paradise. 🏝️✨

💦❄️🧥🧣It is weird talking about water parks when most of us are wearing so many layers we can’t put our arms fully down at our sides, but it’s actually THE PERFECT TIME to have this chat.

🏰💦 First, this year at Walt Disney World, if you’re staying at an on-property resort, FREE admission at one of their water parks on your check-in day is included! 🙌✨They typically only have one water park open during the winter, but they are both incredibly fun.

🩱Secondly, no matter if you’re at Disney’s ❄️ Blizzard Beach, 🌀Typhoon Lagoon or over at 🌋Universal’s Volcano Bay (which just won a Travvy Award for Best Water Park🏆✨), the water is heated, the crowds are typically smaller which also means the lines can be shorter. Win-win-win!

Happy New Year! 🎉✨ There’s no better time than right now to start thinking about making your own magic by booking your 2025 vacation. Why? It helps with the post-holiday blues and definitely has its benefits, such as:

🗓️Better Availability: Booking early gives you first dibs before everything gets snatched up.

🤑Budget-Friendly Planning: Planning ahead means more time to save, strategize, and snag deals as they come along.

⏳That Glorious Trip Countdown: Having a trip countdown is a form of self-care!

AND lots of new promotions were released today! Let’s plan your Disney trip!

Happy New Year!!!! 👋🎉✨So long, 2024! It’s that time of year again where we are all setting resolutions! What’s on your list?

🏋️‍♀️🧘‍♂️ Something for your body: A new workout program, walking, running, barre, yoga, a new nutrition plan

📚🧠 Something for your brain: Reading __ number of books a year/month, Sudoku puzzles, crossword puzzles, traditional puzzles, learn a new language

🎒🤔Is there anything more debated than what to pack in—or what to use as—your park bag?! You’ll see a little bit of everything when visiting the Disney parks. Some go with the full-size backpack loaded with everything you could possibly need during the day. Others opt for a Loungefly mini backpack, perfectly sized for the necessities and a little room for souvenirs. And then there are the f***y pack/cross body enthusiasts who only bring the bare minimum.

But really, what are the absolute must-haves for a Disney park bag?

☀️ Sunscreen
🔋 Portable phone charger
💳 Wallet
🕶️ Sunglasses

What is one thing you can’t leave the room without?
