Have you ever celebrated your actual birthday at a Disney park? Do you have any memories of it?
I have but only once when I was around 11 or so, but I do remember being sung to on Main Street before the Main Street Electrical Parade :)

In case you're planning to go or if you've just wondered and have questions about what it's like to be at the parks right now, here's what one of our own had to say.

The #1 question we’ve been asked since we visited both Universal and Walt Disney World Resort theme parks in June and earlier this month is “what was it really like wearing a mask?& #822…

Big Disney news today! Splash Mountain to be re-imagined to Princess and the Frog!

As a parent whose child's favorite Princess is Tiana, I love the idea and the music from this often under appreciated classic! I know we can't wait to see the transformation.

Today we are thrilled to share a first glimpse of a project Imagineers have been working on since last year. Splash Mountain – at both Disneyland park in California and Magic Kingdom park in Florida – will soon be completely reimagined. The theme

Friends, I'm afraid I have some bad news, for those of us that love a certain Disney event.

This year's Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party has been cancelled. 😭 Hopefully the parks will still be decked out in Fall decor, but due to public health concerns and the fact the primary features of the event (parades, stage shows, fireworks, & dance parties) all draw large crowds together, it probably was for the best.

That said, now we'll just anxiously await next year's Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party! :D

27/05/2020

Glad to see we're going to get a little clarity regarding things today. No one's really sure what it will be but stay tuned.

Walt Disney World and SeaWorld will present reopening plans to an Orange County task force Wednesday morning, the first step in bringing tourists back to both the theme park giants.

Finally a little bit of good news (for Shanghai Disneyland at least) :)

A message from all of us in the Destination Dreaming Travel Team! :)

We're still here for your travel needs whenever those may be!

With everything on in the world right now, this is a pretty touching thing to see.

I've been hesitant to post much in light of recent events because it's so disappointing for many people forced to change their plans and hold off from travel (let alone outside their own homes) with so many other basic worries right now... On top of that, I started a new job this past month so things have been super busy with that too as IT people are still 'essential personnel'.

I don't what to say about this whole situation, but what I do know is that when this is all over... We all need a vacation.

So just know, whenever that is, I'll be here to help you :D

And I mean if you have the time to kill now I'm more than happy to help you start planning a future trip now (remotely) :)

Quarantine got you down? Well heres something to make you smile, coming soon!

15/03/2020

With everything thats going on in the world, naturally its ruined a lot of people's vacations (in addition to everything else) at least the cast of Disneyland got to give one final kiss goodbye before the closure.

In case you want another dining plan option! A new one was released this past week!

A new dining plan option is now available! With Disney Dining Plan Plus, guests get two meals per night of their package stay to redeem at either table service restaurants, quick service locations, character dining experiences, or a combination – giving them more flexibility.

In addition, the Disney Dining Plan Plus option includes two snacks per night, one Disney Resort hotel refillable drink mug (which can be used at any Disney Resort hotel quick-service location), and at each meal, unlimited refills of fountain sodas, single-service teas and brewed coffee, or one non-alcoholic specialty beverage, and for guests 21 and older with valid ID, one beer, wine or cocktail. Meals can be redeemed in any order and in any combination. Unused meals and snacks rollover day to day.

We think of this as "in between" the Disney Dining Plan and the Deluxe Dining Plan. Having recently stayed for 5 nights on the Deluxe Dining Plan, we are very excited to see this in between option now be available! If you're looking to try out a lot of the options including signature/fine dining and want some extra flexibility this a great plan for you!

🗞 Lots of great news today!

Tickets for my favorite event, Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party went on sale this morning. This event is about 8 hours of being in costume (even as an adult) & trick or treating with a limited crowd in the Magic Kingdom! It also means shorter ride times, rarely seen characters & even special shows, a parade & fireworks! And Candy... SO. Much. CANDY! 🍬🍭🍫

And Disney Cruise Line announced the latest itineraries for 2021!🏖🛳

If you're interested in either let me know how I can help!
