There really couldn’t be anything sweeter than unwrapping a magical Walt Disney World vacation for the holidays 🎁🎄. The lights, the decorations, the adorable characters in their holiday attire 🎅, but…there will be a LOT of folks there 🫣. A very merry workaround is to do an after-hours event like Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party or Jollywood Nights 🎉 (A limited capacity event is the best gift under the tree! 🎄✨) A holiday trip can be truly magical—it may look a little different than a summer trip, but it might be the bit of jolly your year needs 🎄❤️! What questions do you have about visiting Disney during the holidays that you want some absolute transparency on? 😊

If you haven’t considered Disneyland in the fall, now’s the time to give it a chance—especially for the unique Halloween experience at Cars Land: the Haul-O-Ween celebration!

Radiator Springs transforms into Radiator Screams for the spooky season. The whole area is filled with automotive-themed Halloween décor, attractions get fun twists, and characters don costumes. Plus, you’ll discover seasonal treats around every corner. At night, the orange and purple lighting adds an extra layer of spookiness, all without the need for a special party ticket!

If this makes you want to race out to Disneyland for Halloween next year, send me a DM or email me [email protected] and I’ll add you to my wait list! I just might see you there!

🌟 Just booked! The B family just booked a last minute trip to Universal Orlando! 🌟

They'll be staying club level at Loews Portofino Bay Resort, enjoying perks like continental breakfast, afternoon snacks, evening hors d'oeuvres, and delightful desserts! 🍽️🍷

With Universal's Express Unlimited pass for their entire stay, they’ll have the freedom to enjoy the attractions without the long waits! Plus, thanks to the Florida resident ticket promotion, they can return to the parks anytime before December 18th!

Can’t wait for their adventure to begin! Thank you for trusting me to plan this fantastical getaway! ✨

🚨The only attraction not on Universal’s Express Pass list is Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure, and for good reason. EVERYONE wants to ride this unique, sweet, and thrilling coaster. This attraction is unlike any other, and even though it just celebrated its 5th birthday 🎂, it remains a park favorite and well worth any wait in line. ⏳ (The queue alone is worth just waiting through—you’ll feel just like a Hogwarts student!) 🎒🧙‍♂️ What is your absolute favorite thing about this magical coaster? ✨

MUST HAVE or PASS? There’s a super cute new souvenir: the Create-Your-Own Headband! You can design your own headband with up to FOUR mini plush characters! Whether you’re into classic pals like Mickey and Minnie or want to mix it up with Toy Story Aliens 👽, you’ve got tons of options!

Here’s how it works:

🎀 Choose your headband base

🧸 Pick your mini plush characters (up to 4)

✨ Create your perfect headband

I’m curious...is this a “take my money” item for you, or does it miss the mark? Would you be adding these adorable characters to your headband collection, or is this one a pass? Let me know in the comments! 😊

Disney’s Pop Century Resort has always been a popular Value Resort since it opened in late 2003 and for good reason. Check these features out!

Skyliner Access 🚡: A quick ride to both Hollywood Studios and EPCOT (and other resorts)?! Yes, please!

Affordability 💰: Don’t let the “value” part of Value Resort fool you; it’s a top-notch property with lots of fun activities and amenities 🎉.

New-ish Rooms 🛏️: Queen beds, laminate floors, modern bathrooms, and tons of storage space will make you never want to go back to carpet and double beds!

Food Court 🍔: Grab breakfast, lunch, and dinner at Everything POP. You’ll find classics like salmon, pasta, burgers, pizza, sandwiches, and salads 🍕🥗.

Nostalgia + Disney Favorites 🕰️🎥: The theming and decor are perfect for those multi-generational trips! The grandparents will love the 50s, 60s, and 70s sections 🎸, the parents will love the 80s and 90s 📼, and the kids will love the larger-than-life Disney character statues like Lady and the Tramp, Baloo and Mowgli, and even Mickey Mouse himself 🐭.

I've stayed at the resort more times than I can count and have never been let down! Does anyone call Disney’s Pop Century Resort your Disney home away from home?

If you’re a Walt Disney World pro, you're probably at least a little curious about how Disneyland compares, right? On top of the intimate, nostalgic feel, there are SO many reasons to spend your next vacation at Walt’s park:

✨ It’s literally steps between Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure. Park hop in minutes!

✨ There are many new and classic exclusive attractions and experiences that are totally unique to Disneyland. Sleeping Beauty Castle is an attraction!

✨ From holiday overlays (hello, Sandy Claws ) to rare characters walking about, Disneyland knows how to sprinkle in that extra magic! ✨

As a travel agent who knows BOTH coasts, I help my clients craft the perfect Disneyland itinerary so they don’t miss a thing.

Planning a trip to Disneyland is VERY different from WDW, but I’ll make sure it’s just as magical (if not more!). Send me a DM or email me [email protected], there’s no need to feel overwhelmed! 😊

🏰 ➡️ Take another look, the Disneyland Hotel just got even more magical! ✨🏨 With the brand new Villas at the Disneyland Hotel and the beautifully expanded entrance to Downtown Disney, a stay here just became even more enchanting. True, the enchantment is a bit of a splurge, but the perks! You’re just steps away from the parks and Downtown Disney, and boy will you feel the Disney magic. ✨

From the themed pools (the new Steamboat Willie water feature gives the Monorail Pool slide a run for its money) to character dining and all the pixie-dusted details that make the Disneyland Hotel unforgettable. Plus, if you book at the new Villas, you can get all the comforts of home and the extra room you might need to bring more family and friends along!

🎃👻The countdown to Halloween begins today so let’s have a Spooky Season showdown! What’s your Halloween vibe... are you team not-so-scary with Mickey? Or do you like your thrills on the terrifying side, straight from Universal's Halloween Horror Nights? Comment “CUTE” 🧸 or “CREEPY”🧟‍♂️ to let me know.

No matter your style, there’s a perfect Halloween getaway for you. Both Disney and Universal are Halloween masters! Send me a DM or email me [email protected], it’s not too late to book a trip or too early to think about next year!

🎉 Today marks my 4th anniversary with Fantastical Vacations! 🎉

What an incredible journey it has been! A huge thank you to all the families who have trusted me to plan their vacations - I appreciate you more than you know! I’m also grateful to everyone who has supported my small business by referring friends and family.

I want to give a big shoutout to the Fantastical Vacations team. Your support and teamwork make this group truly the best. A special thanks to Dan and Leslie for their outstanding leadership. It’s a privilege to be a part of this team!

From theme parks to Caribbean cruises and European adventures, I had no idea what I thought would be a side hustle would lead to so many amazing opportunities. It brings me so much joy to help families create memories that last a lifetime.

If we haven’t planned a trip together yet, I specialize in Disney, Universal, most cruise lines, and all-inclusive resorts. My services come at no additional charge to you, and you’re supporting my small business!

Here’s to many more years of making magical vacation memories! ✈️✨

Disneyland has announced their 2025 packages are available to book 🎉, and you really need to take a close look at the new Pixar Place Hotel! 🏨 If you’re a fan of Pixar movies (and really, who isn’t), you’re going to have a BALL discovering all of the details and Easter eggs from the moment you step into the lobby . You may even run into a few characters during your stay!

One of the standout features of the Pixar Place Hotel is its dedicated walkway straight into Disney California Adventure Park 🌟. You can literally stroll from your hotel room into the heart of the park, making it incredibly convenient to get to Radiator Springs Racers first! 🏁🚗

🥵🧙‍♀️👻It may be hotter than the Sanderson Sisters’ cauldron in Florida right now, but tonight SPOOKY SEASON kicks off at Magic Kingdom with the very first Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party of the year!🎉

🎟️Tickets for many dates are still available and I will happily haunt, I mean hunt for tickets for you! Yep, as a full-service travel agent I can secure most tickets for my clients too! Have you been? Been “dying” to go? Let’s amp up the Halloween excitement and talk ALL about this party in the comments...in other words, LET’S BOO THIS! 🎃

“The curse - it’s real!!” Well, not really, but this Universal Orlando Resort thrill ride is a fan favorite, and for good reason. Revenge of the Mummy opened in Universal Studios back in 2004 replacing Kongfrontation (anyone else have a picture somewhere of Kong “holding” you in his fist?) and had a pretty extensive refurb in 2022. During this heart-pounding adventure you survive fire, scarab beetles, speed and backwards thrills - oh yeah, and mummies! Fun fact, it has a max speed of 45 miles per hour, but it will feel like 445 at times! (Walt Disney World vets, it’s similar to Expedition Everest, but a little more intense with the visuals.) 🔥🔥🔥

🙌 Are you riding hands up and trying to avoid the curse of the mummy, or are you holding the bags and grabbing a snack? And will somebody get Brendan Fraser that cup of coffee?! ☕️ IYKYK

🎷🐸💦

Currently, you have two options when it comes to riding Tiana’s Bayou Adventure:

Virtual Queue (free to join)

Lightning Lane Multi Pass (requires purchase)

It’s not an option right now to just get in line and wait to ride without a “reservation” using one of the above methods. And if you want to ride twice in one day, you’ll need to secure both a Virtual Queue AND a MultiPass selection, which can be a challenge. 😰

This is an attraction you’ll want to experience, much like MANY other visitors. When staying on-property you’ll definitely have a BIG ADVANTAGE for a chance at securing the most popular attractions. Let’s work together so that you take FULL advantage of the on-site perks! Send me a DM or email me [email protected]

If you love the idea of an all inclusive feeling vacation that couples your love of Disney with beautiful beaches and limitless entertainment...why the heck aren’t you on a Disney Cruise Line vacation RIGHT NOW?! You can eat all day long, meet favorite characters, visit gorgeous ports of call, see Broadway caliber shows, have the kiddos entertained while you get to be a real adult and all for ONE cost. 🤯 With six ships in their fleet (and more on the way), wherever you want to go, they can take you. Which sailing is topping your must sail list?
