😱“Wait, I thought YOU grabbed that!?” Have you ever checked out of your room, left an attraction or restaurant only to realize that you left something behind? If you haven’t, good for you! But many of us probably have! Here are some things to know about Disney’s lost and found:

📦 All items go to a central facility and they get turned in quickly! Chances are your item isn’t where you left it for very long.

📋 Submit a form right away via the My Disney Experience app. (Just search for Lost and Found within the app) Within 48 hours you’ll get an update.

🚚 Don’t lose hope if at first you get a notice it hasn’t been found. They will keep looking and if your item is under 70 pounds and smaller than 15x15x15 inches, they will ship it to you!

❄️🎄 Winter is always welcome...until after Christmas! 😆 If you’re like most, your mind is wandering and it’s taking you in a much warmer direction now that the holidays are winding down. (Ask me how I know. 😅 ) My friends, there are still MONTHS until spring, so let me point you toward a winter cruise! Sun, fun, tropical islands, rest, relaxation and a whole lot of aaaaaah. 😌✨

🥳 Happy Birthday, Walt Disney!!

✨ 🎭 FINALLY, Walt is getting his own audio-animatronic for the new show, “Walt Disney-A Magical Life”, at the Main Street Opera House in 2025! For the 70th Anniversary perhaps? 🎉🎂 Until then, did you know there are tributes to Walt Disney throughout Disneyland? Let’s celebrate his birthday by sharing our favorites!

🐾🩺 Any budding veterinarians or in your crew? 🚂 Hop on the Wildlife Express train to Rafiki’s Planet Watch to visit the Conservation Station at Animal Kingdom! Here, you’ll get to peek behind the scenes, visit the veterinary center, witness how they care for over 300 animals and even get to pet some! 🐐💛 Whether you aspire to work here or just simply love animals, it’s a magical place!

🎄🎁 Wouldn’t be it cool if your Disney TRIP countdown was the same as your countdown to Christmas?!🤯(Mind blown, right!) Rather than wrapping up more Barbies or more itchy sweaters, how about wrapping up something TRULY memorable to go under the tree this year like an amazing Disney vacation. ✨🏰 The family will forget the Lifesavers Storybook you put in their stockings by the 26th, but they will never forget those vacation memories. 💖Who has gifted a Disney trip for the holidays? How did you tell your family?

02/12/2024

🤔✨Hesitant to pull your kids out of school to visit Walt Disney World during an off season? There are lots of ways to make your Disney vacation educational! 🎓🏰 Here’s just a few:

🌎 World Showcase: Cast Members are cultural representatives from each country and LOVE to chat with guests about their homes. Kidcot packets have some tasks to complete while touring each pavilion to make it fun.

🐠 The Seas with Nemo and Friends: Finding Dory’s Friends scavenger hunt is a fun activity the whole family will enjoy. You’ll learn all about the creatures living here and the environment that they call home.

🇺🇸The Hall of Presidents and The American Adventure: American history literally comes to life at both of these attractions. Encourage your kiddos to be on the lookout for their favorite presidents or recap important moments, you’ll just might find they absorbed more than you realized! And you’ll appreciate the air conditioning!

Engage with my posts 👍: Even a simple like, comment, or share can go a long way in helping my business grow.

Reach out for advice 🤔: If you’re just in the “dreaming” phase, I’m here for that too.

WAIT!! Before you spiral into all the Black Friday madness on Amazon, hear me out—why not put something under the tree that they’ll never want to exchange? 🎁 A family vacation somewhere FUN!! 🌎

Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃 While you’re taking a little break to check your socials, let’s ponder this…what if we flipped the script on how to do Thanksgiving at Walt Disney World? Instead of stressing over those hard-to-snag holiday DINNER reservations (looking at you Liberty Tree Tavern 👀), what if we started the day with a big BREAKFAST FEAST? 🍳 We could kick off Thanksgiving morning at an all-you-care-to-enjoy spot. To name a few:

Boma – Flavors of Africa at Animal Kingdom Lodge
‘Ohana at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
Whispering Canyon Cafe at Wilderness Lodge
Tusker House at Animal Kingdom

There are so many reasons why this is a great idea! You’ll walk off a lot of those calories 🚶‍♀️, won’t need an after-turkey nap 🛌, and while everyone else is sitting down to eat dinner, you’re waiting on a shorter attraction line 🎢. Plus, you won’t be too stuffed for Disney snacking 🍿!

Could you see yourself doing this, or is turkey for dinner non-negotiable on Thanksgiving? 🦃✨

27/11/2024

✅ Thanksgiving Eve check-in! 🦃 Do you go all out with Thanksgiving decor and crafty apps and desserts 🎨🥧, or are you already diving deep into Christmas? 🎄

PS—The Cars Land’s Horn-o-Plenty at Disney California Adventure Park is up year-round and is a perfect example of the cornucopia of clever and punny details you’ll find throughout the land 🚗. You could spend a whole day just exploring!

🤔Decisions, decisions…can’t decide which character meal to book? The struggle is real! 😅 There are so many options, and honestly, it’s hard to know which one’s THE ONE. BUT…if you’re looking for something fun, delicious, and maybe a little less chaotic than some of the bigger character meals, let me just throw Chip and Dale’s Harvest Feast at Garden Grill into the ring 🐿️🐿️🌱.

Hosted by Chip, Dale, Mickey, and Pluto, this restaurant slowly rotates with views of the Living with the Land attraction! The food is farm-fresh (literally—many of the veggies are grown right there in EPCOT’s Living with the Land!) 🥕🥒, and it’s all served family-style—so no buffet trips while juggling kids and characters. Plus, it’s quieter, more laid-back, and the characters tend to spend a little extra time at your table.

✋Alright, hear me out—Universal’s holiday lineup is seriously underrated 🎄. Why not shake things up and experience Christmas the Universal way? I’ll give you a little preview:

Move over Polar Express, all aboard the Hogwarts Express! 🚂 Christmas at Hogwarts is as magical as it sounds. Snow-covered rooftops, twinkling lights, and hot Butterbeer...it’s a true gift for any Harry Potter fan 🎩🧙✨.

The Macy’s Holiday Parade brings the charm of a New York City Christmas right to Orlando, complete with Santa 🎅 and all the festive feels without freezing temps 🥶!

And let’s not forget about 💚🎄Grinchmas in Seuss Landing! The Whos go all out, and you may even spot the Lorax rocking a Christmas bow 🎀!

Have I convinced you to consider a Universal holiday trip? Hogwarts, New York, and Whoville await—are you in? 🎉

📸 If you subscribe to the “more memories, fewer things” philosophy, a Very Merrytime Cruise with Disney definitely aligns with your beliefs 🎄. All the magic of a Disney Christmas without the long lines and theme park crowds. It’s kind of the perfect gift! 🎁 Plus, it keeps the magic of the season going for DAYS…for once, Christmas won’t be over in the blink of an eye ✨

🫣 It can be hard breaking tradition and spending THE BIG ONE away from home, but on Christmas, home is where you hang your stocking, right? 🧦 And the memories you’ll make will far outlast the latest toys or trendy gadgets 🎮. It’s neither too late to book for this year nor too early to plan for next. Message me so together we can work a little elf magic for your family! ✨🎄

🫸🏈 Move over Fantasy Football, it’s time to pick our fantasy Thanksgiving menu! 🦃 You’re in charge of the big meal this year, and your "draft picks" are all coming straight from Disney’s best snacks and side dishes! The bird gets the glory, but come on, we all know it’s about the sides 🙌

If you could build your dream Thanksgiving Day meal from Disney’s best snacks and sides, what would make the cut? 🍽️

🚨P.S. If your turkey is in the freezer, it’s time to start defrosting it! 🕰️
