When Disney reintroduced dining plans this year, I honestly wasn't sure that many of my clients would be interested. But I was wrong! SO many families (especially with young kiddos) decide to add a dining plan to their vacation package.

Disney offers 2 types of pre-paid dining plans for onsite guests - the Quick Service Plan and the Disney Dining Plan. These plans are attached to your final payment, taking away the need to budget for food while on your vacation! Aside from that convenience, what makes the Disney Dining Plan SO popular is that many character meals (which are pricey!) qualify as 1 table service credit. So, with that plan, you could be eating with characters every day!

However, dining plans don't make sense for every family. Many times, according to your budget and preferences, it's cheaper to just pay as you go. Especially if you plan to eat a Mickey pretzel for dinner like my daughter 🤣🤣 which is perfectly acceptable at Disney! 🏰

We made it! The Mariner of the Seas is BEAUTIFUL! First stop, the Windjammer buffet. So many options and I was blown away by the quality of the food. Plenty of good things for the pickiest of eaters 🤪

Second stop, the library for some chess and checkers ❤️

We will head to our room soon to unpack and relax before our dinner at Chops Steakhouse tonight followed by an ice skating show tonight! 🥩⛸️🚢

Praying for my clients at Disney right now! Disney is the definition of customer service, and I’m so thankful these families will be taken care of during this storm while they will be closing the parks. ❤️

03/10/2024

Love getting these types of messages from my clients! 🥳🏰 Their trip is going to be AMAZING!!

01/10/2024

Yay! If you’ve been thinking of heading to Disney in early 2025, here’s your sign to go for it! Promos were announced today. Save up to $200/night or up to 25% off many nights through April 30 🏰

Fall break is getting CLOSE, and our teaching / coaching family is ready for a week of family fun! 😅

We will be trying out Royal Caribbean's Mariner of the Seas on a 5-night cruise to Costa Maya and Cozumel! 🛳🏝

There is something for everyone on this ship, and that's what makes cruise vacations so great for families. My girls are SO excited to try ice skating for the first time onboard!

Can't wait to tell y'all all about it! 😀

🧺 When you think about a Disney vacation, you probably aren’t thinking about laundry!

But, Florida is hot and you and your kiddos clothes are bound to get sweaty and sticky from dripping Mickey ice cream bars!

All resorts have self-serve laundry rooms in case you need to run a load during your trip. Or if you are like me and enjoy bringing clean clothes home instead of a bunch of laundry to do 😂

My client just told me one of the greatest things about their trip was that their room at Animal Kingdom Lodge had a washer/dryer, and she did 3 loads easily on their trip!

Doing laundry during your vacation allows you to pack a little bit lighter, too!

If you aren’t lifting the lid of a washer on vacation, I understand that too, and we can still be friends 🫶🏻

TIP TUESDAY

Get your free celebration buttons as you check in your resort or enter the park. Whether you are celebrating a first trip, birthday, graduation or personal achievement.

At one point my oldest had three buttons 😅 A sweet cast member saw them dressed up as princesses upon entering the park and gave them “happily ever after” buttons!

They are so fun and a great free souvenir!

✨DOUBLE DIGITS✨

Only 97 days until my next trip to Disney! I can’t wait to attend Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and review it for y’all.

24/08/2024

It’s almost September!!

September is one of the slower months to visit Disney as kids are back in school. Which makes it a less busy, less expensive trip! ✨👍

The 4-Park Magic Ticket for $99/day promo is still ON through September 22.

Thus far we are rest day people. For those unfamiliar with that term, a rest day is when you don't have tickets to enter one of the parks at Disney.

We rope drop early entry and shut the parks down! So I schedule one day in the middle of the week to "rest". Here's what we did on our recent rest day:

✨ Slept in until 7! Lol
✨ Dad and little sis watched TV
✨ Mom and big sis took the skyliner to the Riviera resort for pastries at the coffee shop in the lobby (we were pixie dusted a beautiful loaf of chocolate chunk banana bread when we had a tough time deciding between two things! So sweet.)
✨ Walked over to Art of Animation to play on the Nemo playground
✨ Swam in the pool and played in the splash pad at POP
✨ Took the monorail from MK to Contemporary to explore the resort and eat dinner at Steakhouse 71

If only a few park days are in your budget, no worries. There is plenty to do outside of the parks, and we didn't even scratch the surface! Disney Springs, the Boardwalk, complimentary round of mini golf, character meals, and so much more!

🐘 DUMBO QUEUE APPRECIATION POST 🐘

If you have children under the age of 8 that just need to get out of the stroller and run around, this post is for you 😎

There is an indoor circus-themed play area INSIDE the line for Dumbo. In the center, there's an area for little ones, and the perimeter has a huge play structure for 2/3+. There's plenty of seating for exhausted parents! 😆

Pro Tip: Grab and snack and a cold drink before you enter the line, and enjoy it in peace and air while your kiddos play. 🎡

🔍 The MyDisneyExperience app is SO important to have and know how to navigate while in the parks for things like checking wait times, making mobile orders, and looking for characters. It even has a map feature that will give you directions to your next destination.

So while I completely recommend using MDE, make sure you also grab a paper park map on your way in! My oldest had a blast practicing her map skills and helping to lead the way ☺️ I love that travel provides such amazing real-world learning experiences.

Disney Imagineers have been busy, and many new attractions, areas, and lands coming to WDW are in the works! Here are some highlights.

😍 Love walking alongside my wonderful clients like the Bradley's to prepare them for their magical vacations 🏰

03/08/2024

I’ve been working on a trip for a very sweet client for many months, and I finally get to make Advanced Dining Reservations tomorrow morning!!

Here’s reason 100 to use a travel agent if only not to have to wake up before 5 on a Saturday morning ☺️🏰

One thing I LOVE about Disney vacations is that once you arrive in the Disney bubble, you don't have to step foot off property until it's time to go home. Disney's transportation system is AMAZING. When you stay on site, Disney will get you to and from the parks, other resorts, and Disney Springs.

Which also means you don't need to rent a car after flying into Orlando! If you're traveling with littles, I recommend taking the Mears Connect shuttle to your resort. They are Disney experts. If no one in your party needs a car seat, Uber will get you there quicker and cheaper! We have used both options successfully!

Making your shuttle reservation is just one of the many things I can do to help your trip run smoothly so you don't have as many logistics to think about! ☑️

🏰🙌 Visiting the princesses is high on our list! A great way to get this done without standing in line (especially in the heat 🥵) is by booking a character meal! All royalty comes to your table for a meet and greet and a photo! So worth it! 🏰

#disneyworld #princess #travel

🏰🎵🪄 Talk about magical! The Mickey’s Magical Friendship Faire stage show is one you CANNOT MISS! Here’s a tip: if you’re in Fantasyland or Adventureland, hop on the train and ride it to the front of the park to Mainstreet USA. Stop in at the Confectionery to get a sweet treat, and make your way up to the castle for the show!

☀️🚡 We had a full, amazing day at MK yesterday. This morning we’re in line for early entry at Hollywood Studios! Once the skyliner started operating, we were on in no time and at HS in less than 15 mins. Today we’re most looking forward to the Slinky Dog Dash, Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway, and Frozen sing a long!
