Donald Duck at Tusker House
DONALD DUCK #1!
Happy 90th Birthday to the OG Disney duck!
In November we ate at one of our favorite character dining experiences, Tusker House. Donald got a little salty with me for giving my oldest son a Mickey Mouse pen for his autograph book 🤣🤣
We love you Donald, temper and all, you are a sweetheart on the inside!
Happy birthday Mickey!
Happy Birthday Mickey Mouse! We had to stop in today and wish him a very happy 95th birthday. We love you pal!

We had the most fun and magical night at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party! Full recap to come, and I have a lot in my stories on Instagram saved in a highlight-be sure you’re following me there!
Some of our favorite moments:
🎄 Frozen Surprise
🎄 Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade
🎄 Club Tinsel
🎄 TRON at night
🎄 Minnie’s Wonderful Christmas Fireworks
🎄 Snow on Main Street
And most of all, making magical memories together as a family we will forever cherish.
I have so many clients over the next month attending this party, and I can’t wait to hear their sweet stories and see their pictures together.
It’s such a joy to plan these vacations, and that’s why I started doing this for others. I treat all of my clients’ vacations, whether it is Disney or another destination, with the same care I take planning my own family’s vacations.
I would count it a joy to take out the stress of planning and work with you! Fill out a request form to get started:

Wild Africa Trek
Hands down, the most amazing thing we’ve done in the parks. The Wild Africa Trek at Animal Kingdom was an incredible experience! Full recap to come, but 10/10 recommend.
Here’s a little snippet of my oldest going across one of the bridges. Crocodiles were below, and this vulture decided to come along to say hi.
Magic Kingdom day!
How we feel when we see Cinderella Castle every time 😍😍😍

✨ Magical Moment ✨
It doesn’t matter how many times we’ve been or how old my kids are (or me for that matter 🤣), Disney magic is real and it’s everywhere. We have so many stories from our trips over the years, but wanted to share this one from our Disneyland trip last month!
It was our last day, and our last bit of time in the parks before heading home. We park hopped over to Disney California Adventure for lunch and our last “see ya real soon” to our favorite areas. One thing I LOVE about Disneyland is the amount of characters that roam, and that’s especially true in Avenger’s Campus!
The Dora Milage from Black Panther were out “training” guests, and my oldest son spotted Dr. Strange in the crowd. He went over and asked for his autograph and I snapped a quick picture, then Dr. Strange asked Kai if he wanted to train with him! It was SO precious and the perfect moment to end our trip.
In the full version of this video, there were so many people who actually walked IN BETWEEN them, completely oblivious that was Dr. Strange! Magic is everywhere, but always pay attention and be present. You never know what kind of magical moment can come your way!
Honest review of TRON Lightcycle Run from my 9 year old…and me 😉 Kai got to ride twice thanks to rider switch, my favorite Disney hack when you’ve got multiple ages/heights for rides!
We ended up snagging a virtual queue when it dropped again at 1:00 pm! Currently the ONLY way to ride is virtual queue (2 options, 7 am and if available, 1 pm), or individual lightning lane. We did Individual lightning lane for a guaranteed ride, and excited we’ll now have a chance to ride again!
For my clients, I have instructions about this in my Disney vault drive whenever you pay in full!

10 points if you know what movie this amazing duo is from!
Last month when we were at Disneyland, I could not wait to see The Magic Happens Parade for THIS MOMENT RIGHT HERE! It's a movie people forget about, but it's so good. If you're watching through the Disney Animated Canon with us, I want to know if you've gotten to this episode yet!
If you haven't listened to our podcast Magical Movie Marathon, do it! In each episode I share ways you can experience these movies in the parks, and sharing this one was a highlight for me!

Hope you'll follow along with us over the next few days! Up on our list is TRON, Happily Ever After, EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival, a couple of new dining experiences, and more! This will be a quick trip for us before heading to our next destination, but if we're near Disney, we're going to Disney 😆

Isn't Merlin a whole vibe in this parade? I know what I'm going to do when I grow up 😊 See ya real soon!
