Even if pineapple isn’t your thing 🍍, Disneyland’s Tropical Hideaway has a selection of other Dole Whip flavors too. Mango 🥭, strawberry 🍓, or maybe a swirl of both? For something a bit more savory, they offer a variety of bao buns 🥟 and grab & go items to enjoy as you watch Jungle Cruise boats glide by—talk about dining with a view!

But here’s a pro tip: try to visit as the sun sets 🌅. With flickering tiki torches all around 🔥, the area transforms into a tropical oasis under the stars ✨. It’s dreamy! Oh, and don’t forget to listen for Rosita 🦜, the joke-telling animatronic bird (who left the Enchanted Tiki Room). It’s a quintessential Disney experience! 🏰

What flavor of Dole Whip would you order? Or have you been? What did you get? Let's chat in the comments! ⬇️

🧋🍓🍌🧋It’s National Smoothie Day, pals! Smoothies are the universe’s yummy way of thanking us for choosing fruit over ice cream by giving us pretty much the same end result. Joffrey’s cart at Disney Springs has an awesome list of smoothies to help fuel you while you buy up all the wonderful smelling soaps at Basin or all the newest Mickey ears at World of Disney. What is your go-to smoothie concoction?

🌞🏖️🌴 Summer is here! Who says this season has to end? At Universal’s Endless Summer Resort, they keep the summer vibes rolling all year long! With its chill, beachy theme, this resort offers endless summer nights, right on Universal property and SPOILER ALERT...without breaking the budget! 🤑

🏄‍♀️🎣Choose between two unique areas: Surfside Inn and Suites for a laid-back beach vibe, or Dockside Inn and Suites for a coastal feel. Staying at either means you’re just minutes away from the parks and CityWalk, get all the benefits of staying on property like complimentary transportation, early park admission to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, and more, all while keeping your vacation budget in check. Plus, there’s a Starbucks on-site to keep your energy up all day long.

🌎☀️ Endless Summer Resort is an affordable, yet totally immersive Universal Orlando experience that can easily accommodate families of six in a suite. Any time you want more info just send me a DM or email at [email protected].

But for now, Surfside or Dockside? 🏄‍♀️🎣

📣🛳️ Heads up, future cruisers! Picking the perfect stateroom on a Disney Cruise isn't as simple as eeny, meeny, miny, moe. Trust me, cruise staterooms are not created equally! From cozy inside cabins to sprawling suites with ocean views, the options can truly be overwhelming. 🤯

🤔 For example: did you know there are several categories, each with their own perks and quirks? Choosing the right one can make a big difference in your cruise experience. Oceanview or verandah? Near the elevators or tucked away for peace and quiet? The decisions are endless!

👩‍💻When you work with a professional travel advisor (like yours truly 😉) they help you navigate the maze of choices, find the best deals, and select a stateroom that fits your needs, dreams and budget. Before you book, send me a DM or email at [email protected].

Out of curiosity, what are YOU looking for in a stateroom? Space, magical views or just a cozy spot to crash? Drop a comment to let me know!

🍣🌺 There are people who love sushi and those that don’t and they usually travel together. Kona Cafe at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort can handle both palates just fine! With a diverse menu of sushi rolls and sashimi as well as entrees like chicken and braised short rib with a Polynesian twist, there will be no trouble finding a delicious common ground here. Plus, you really cannot beat the atmosphere of this resort hotel. It won’t be hard to convince anyone to go for a walk after dinner! 🌴

My perfect dinner here would be a mix of land and sea! I love splitting some of the sticky chicken wings, pot stickers and shrimp tempura sushi, and of course the bread pudding is a must!

🐔🦞🥟Whether you’re ordering from a land or sea menu, do not skip the Pot Stickers appetizer or Bread Pudding for dessert. Both are shareable and incredible! Have you eaten here? What are you likely to order?

Here are 7 reasons why this day is special across Disney Parks and Resorts!

31/07/2023

"HAPPEE BIRTHDAE HARRY!"

You don't have to be a fan of the Harry Potter books or movies to enjoy The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at both Universal Orlando Resort theme parks. If you ARE a fan though, you can't miss the total immersion that is Hogwarts Castle, Hogwarts Express Train, Diagon Alley, Honeydukes, Leaky Cauldron and Gringotts Bank.

What is your favorite nook of the Wizarding World?

29/07/2023

🇨🇦 EPCOT's Canada pavilion is a captivating and immersive experience that will make you feel as if you just stepped into the "Great White North". From awe-inspiring landscapes to delicious dining, authentic merchandise and live music, it's a must-visit destination when visiting EPCOT! 🌟🍁

What is your favorite part of this World Showcase gem? Let us know in the comments below!

28/07/2023

🤔😨Not sure which Disney destination to book?

Make that decision, my friend, especially when it comes to Walt Disney World and Disney Cruise Line vacations! There are typically 2 price increases per year for Walt Disney World and Disney Cruise Line pricing is dynamic. That means the price will surely increase as the sailing gets closer.

Part of my job as your travel agent is to price watch, so don’t worry if a promotion comes out, I’ll be trying to apply it for you, possibly before you even wake up!

Making that decision sooner rather than later will likely save you money - more to spend on Dole Whips, churros or the cruise drink of the day! Need some help making a decision? Email me at [email protected] and I'll help!

27/07/2023

🌶️🧀Delicious debate time! When it comes to classic comfort food at Magic Kingdom, which would you rather sink your teeth into: a mouthwatering chili cheese hot dog from Casey's Corner or some tasty chicken fingers from Cosmic Ray's?

My vote would be for some chicken fingers from Cosmic Ray's! Its a classic lunch food with lots of seating (IN AC - that's key!) and you can listen to the sweet tunes of Sonny Eclipse! Sounds like a perfect lunch to me!

Cast your vote below and let me know your favorite! Feel free to share your reasons too—I want to hear your thoughts. 🗳️🤤

26/07/2023

Before you arrive at Walt Disney World, spend some time scouring the My Disney Experience app menus. There are so many hidden gems that you may never know about otherwise. For instance if you have no interest in Fish & Chips, you may pass right by Columbia Harbour House in Magic Kingdom. What a shame, you might miss out on the Happy Haunts Milk Shake. It comes with a donut on top!

Got a favorite menu item you stumbled upon looking at menus? Tell us!

Jambo from Disney’s Animal Kingdom Resort!

I am currently staying at this Deluxe resort in Walt Disney World! I am loving the relaxing vibe here and seeing all the African artifacts on display. This resort is known for amazing restaurants, a fun pool area complete with a water slide but most of all animals! This resort has multiple savannas and some hotel rooms can even view savannas from their balcony (including mine! I can literally watch giraffes, zebras and ostriches from my room!). It is such a unique resort experience!

Interested in planning a vacation to this resort or one of the many resorts that Walt Disney World offers? Reach out to me at [email protected] or use the link in my bio to start planning your magical visit!

So, gingerbread houses are pretty synonymous with the holidays, right? And sure, the Grand Floridian NAILS it. Yet, The Beach Club Resort is thinking way out of the gingerbread box with their gingerbread carousel. This is all the childhood holiday whimsy you are looking for!

PRO TIP: You don't have to be booked at Disney's Beach Club Resort to visit this display, everyone is welcome to stop by (which is super easy to do since Disney's Beach Club Resort is literally steps outside of EPCOT's International Gateway entrance)!

With great hotel promotions currently being offered, now is the perfect time to plan for a holiday season visit to the Walt Disney World Resort. Email me at [email protected] or use my online form (https://forms.gle/CzXo4hyTaYpEcCsi9); I'm always in the Disney planning spirit!

Whew! What a magical day in the Magic Kingdom!

From 9am - 4pm, I was able to use Genie+ to access the lightning lane on 11 attractions and, based on wait times, I was able to save over 7 hours in line!

I would love to help you avoid long lines and enjoy a day in the Magic Kingdom! Use my form for a free vacation quote or sign up for my best Genie+ tips - both are linked in my bio!

Looking for a way to enjoy a sweet treat AND some AC? Grab yourself a dole whip at Aloha Isle in Adventureland at Magic Kingdom and head on into The Enchanted Tiki Room right next door! This is my favorite way to enjoy a dole whip, cool off and watch one of my favorite shows in the Magic Kingdom!

24/07/2023

Its Self Care Day so let's talk about the ULTIMATE self-care vacation, a Disney cruise.

Imagine lounging by the adults only pool while your kids are making friends in the kids club? Imagine a massage, delicious fruity cocktail, morning coffee on your balcony overlooking the ocean...a cruise can be many vacations all in one...but most importantly, the pampering trip you deserve!

If you're ready to enjoy some self-care time on vacation, email me at [email protected] or use my online form (https://forms.gle/coMfmFHdn4nRpuHm8) so that we can start planning the most relaxing and magical vacation ever!

🌴⛱️ Decisions, decisions! Imagine taking a hammock nap in two paradise-like destinations: Disney's Castaway Cay and Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort. Whether it's swaying gently in a hammock by the ocean or lulling yourself to sleep during a midday break from the parks, these moments of relaxation are the secret ingredients that make a vacation truly unforgettable.

I would love to get some shut-eye this afternoon in a hammock on Disney's Castaway Cay! There is seriously nothing better than relaxing on Disney's private island!

If you had to choose between the hammocks of Castaway Cay or Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort, which would you prefer? Share your thoughts and if you're in the mood to make this your blissful reality in the future, email me at [email protected] and let's get it on the books!

Walt Disney World's Tower of Terror Opened on this day in1994 and there is no limit to the thoughtfulness that went into the Tower of Terror queue. Have you ever looked at the directory in the "lobby"? There are some letters that have fallen down that actually spell..."Take the stairs" in the bottom of the letter box. Well played, Imagineers, well played.

PRO TIP: Love the Tower of Terror queue but just can't muster up the will for the inevitable plummeting? Never fear, take in the thoughtful and eerie queue and then head to the not so secret "chicken exit" in the boiler room.

What are your thoughts on Tower of Terror? Is this a must-do for you?

21/07/2023

Ahh, the glory days...on this day in 1999, the very first FastPass was issued at Walt Disney World! Can't you just feel the shin burn and leg cramps that came with racing to the kiosks to grab FastPasses and score the perfect return time?

With the introduction of FastPass, SO much changed about touring the parks. Anyone else remember days where it felt like we waited forever just to ride Splash Mountain?!

I do not miss racing to grab that paper FastPass, however I DO miss FastPass+ and walking into the park with 3 attractions already booked (can you tell I love planning my vacations ahead of time? 😆).

🤔What's your preference? Same-day, race to the attraction FastPass? FastPass+ where you could book 3 attractions in advance? Or the current Genie+/Lightning Lane option?
