Elsa really popped off in a vicious way today but MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!! Wishing you a magical and safe christmas from my family to yours.

If you do not celebrate this holiday, I’m wishing you a magical day anyway. Stay warm and stay safe during this brutal weather.

For those that struggle during the holidays, don’t feel pressured to take part in celebrations that you have no energy for or drain your mental well-being. Do what ever you need to do to get through this holiday. Wishing you a safe and warm day!!

Again Merry Christmas to you all!! Thanks for coming along on this crazy rollercoaster of an account and sticking around through it all!

Disney is just around the corner! It’s time to start planning your trip, but first… 👆🏾Call a travel agent 🤭

Disney is ever changing. So many changes that most can’t keep up with. The confusion never ends!!

Something you may have done seamlessly last year may have 10 extra steps this year. (Hint hint, the monster of Genie, Genie+, and Lightning Lane, yes there 3 different things). Learning and updating yourself can become exhausting eventually, especially if you’re currently trying to save up and/or are juggling more than one family going.

Getting a travel agent eliminates ALL the stress and leaves all the magic for you and your family to enjoy.

Let me deal with the Disney call center, coordinating tickets and park reservation, adjoining hotel rooms, special accommodations, and MORE!!

My goal is for you to have a worry free vacation the moment you step on to Disney property. Enjoy the endless Mickey pretzels, dance around Main Street, get that perfect castle shot, splurge on that Loungefly you fell in love with. THAT should be your priority! I’ll take the rest!

DM me for a FREE quote on your next magical vacation!!

So thankful this year!! I’ve been blessed with so much this year, including this amazing Disney community which has come so close to my heart!!

I know holidays can be very tough for many different reasons so I’d just like to say, however you’re celebrating and with whomever you’re celebrating with, I hope you had a magical Thanksgiving 🍂

Who’s the leader of the pack that’s made for you and me…M I C K E Y M O U S E!!!

Happy Birthday to my favorite dynamic duo!! Over nearly a century, you’ve brought joy to millions of people all over the world!

You’ve brought endless joy to my heart and I can’t wait to get many more hugs in 50 days!!

Here’s to the next 94 years of smiles, happiness, and pure magic!!

Tangled is my favorite Disney movie. I don't go a week without watching it (not joking) it's THAT good. The music is magical, and the movie itself is just a masterpiece. From the soundtrack, storyline, and the incredible attention to detail in the animation. My favorite song from Tangled is At Last I See The Light. It's just such a feel-good song, and makes me feel like Disney's magic is right in my bedroom.

This is just my bi-monthly rant about Tangled and once again, I am asking to give Rapunzel more than a bathroom 🙂

Do you know where this photo was taken??

Stitch is my all time favorite Disney character! Lilo and Stitch will forever be my ultimate comfort movie!! Hawaiian Rollercoaster Ride will always be one of my favorite Disney songs. Everything about Stitch makes me smile and I can’t wait to see him on my next trip!

This photo was taken in Tomorrowland. In the far back. It’s a large stage and you cannot miss it. They also host Disney Junior dance parties!

Just another not so known gem of the Magic Kingdom!

Who’s your favorite Disney character??

10/11/2022

Did I even go to the World Showcase if I didn’t have a photo shoot with my Skolbread??

Just a lil appreciation post for the most comforting and delicious snack in the parks. It’s not for everybody that’s for sure but if I could have an unlimited supply of them, you bet I would of already been on that!!

What’s your all time favorite snack at the Disney Parks?

09/11/2022

Who’s got you smiling like that bro ?? It’s PLUTO!!

My favorite character spot in Epcot is Pluto. I love that he’s always there, just waiting for me to pose with him for a picture. He’s always so sweet and funny, and his little dog-like face just makes me smile.

I’ve been coming to meet him since I was a kid, and he holds so many childhood memories for me. Pluto is my mom’s favorite of the Fab 5 and always incorporated him into my childhood! I wish I could find the picture of me dressed up as him!! My mom always used to take me here on our family trips to Disney World when I was little, and she would always make sure we got a picture with Pluto before we left the park. That meant so much to me as a child—I distinctly remember how giddy I was after every picture! The feeling I got every time we came back from an outing at Epcot and got one of those amazing shots with him is unmatched!!

Even now, whenever we visit the park, I try to get my picture taken at this exact spot with Pluto so that I can relive some of those magical moments once again.

Getting to this photo spot is super easy!! Just enter at the parks main entrance and take a right around the clear glass structure.

Let me know in the comments, who’s your favorite of the Fab 5??

08/11/2022

Have you been to the Beach Club Resort at Disney? If not, it's time to check out one of the best resort in Walt Disney World.

A childhood favorite of my mom’s, the Beach Club Resort is home to one of the best buffets in all of Walt Disney World. Cape May Cafe! The food here is delicious, and there are many different options for you to choose from. Characters have also returned to Cape May in their best New England beach outfits!!!

The Beach Club Resort also offers beautiful scenery, an epic pool, and is super close to Epcot and Hollywood Studios, which is just a short walk away or boat ride away. This makes it an ideal location for guests who want to spend their time at one of Disney's most popular parks but still have plenty of space for their own activities.

This is a deluxe resort and it costs a pretty penny but I recommend renting DVC points so you can experience this beautiful resort!!

When that Disney bug starts biting again, you should definitely consider Beach Club as your next resort stay!!

I've been a little obsessed with Epcot lately.

Where was this photo taken? It’s at the Mexico Pavilion, where you can get an awesome picture with Donald Duck!! exhibit.

What's your favorite country in Epcot? It's France, hands down. I feel like there are so many things to do there and see, it never gets old for me. So much to eat, a ride and a show, and awesome photo opportunities!!

I love Epcot over all though!! The festivals in Epcot are top tier fun, one of the best experiences out of ALL Disney parks—they're always so fun, yummy, and I make lifetime memories each time I go! And especially this time of year, The holiday festival tops them all!! You can get super-fancy food and drinks while enjoying live music and dancing around to Christmas music in different countries?? Yes please!

If you’d like me to do a more in depth reel about the holiday festival in Epcot, let me know!!

Not many people know about this hidden photo spot in Hollywood Studios and I cannot figure out WHY 😯

Not only is the line short, in a quiet area, and an interactive queue it is AIR CONDITIONED and it’s always so refreshingly cold in there 🥶

I waited about 10-12 minutes for a rare picture with Sully! He was a true gentle giant 🥰 He welcomed me with a large hug and complimented my ears!

To get to this awesome photo spot, you’re going to walk towards Voyage of the Little Mermaid but walk to the left of it until you reach the theater that is titled “Walt Disney Presents”. Inside not only will you find the meet and greet but you get to walk through this EPIC museum, detailing the life of Walt Disney and the very early stages of Walt Disney Company and the creations of all the fun parks we know and love today!!

This is a can’t miss spot for me so check it out on your next trip to Hollywood Studios!!

(FYI, Sully does NOT sign autographs)

Hey everyone! I haven't been on here in a while, but I just wanted to share an update with you.

I've been away from the community for a while, and I had a lot of time to think about what is important in life. I took a break from the Disney community and went back to school; that's where my focus is now. I’m currently majoring in marketing so I can learn how to do this for a living. I love content creation, social media, and writing. I finally decided this is something I should do as a career.

But man, am I glad to be back on this account! College has been great so far. It's a lot more social than the 9-5 job I’ve been working, but it's also really difficult at times. It's hard to keep up with work when you have so much going on outside of it. The second half of my break was a mental health break. Like most people, college takes a serious toll on your mental health and I could not balance out all these parts of my life without taking time away from this account. But hey, at least this time around I'm surrounded by friends who get me and make me want to do better each day—even if sometimes they don’t truly understand my Disney side.

But enough about all that—I'm just glad to be back in touch with y'all again! I will be filming a bunch of content today so I can hopefully keep up with this account regularly again.

I hope you all have a magical day!!

Happy Birthday to you.…Happy Birthday to you…Happy Birthday dear EPCOT…Happy birthday to you!!

Wow, EPCOT turns 40 today and in honor of their birthday, I’ve posted some of the best flicks from over the years from my visits to EPCOT.

There’s so much to say about the epic and magical place but to me it’s just home! Home to my favorite Disney snack, home to my favorite characters, home to my favorite nighttime show (until hae comes back), home to the most magical festivals, home to the World Showcase which is my favorite thing to do on Disney property. And home to some of the best memories I’ve had at Disney.

I love this place with everything in me and I can’t wait to go back in a couple of months!!

So happy birthday EPCOT, you don’t look a day over 20 🥳

Continued prayers for all of Florida and the guests currently trapped in their hotel rooms.

These are pictures from Disney’s Contemporary Resort and the damage after Hurricane Ian. Thankfully the damage isn’t too great and the Contemporary can get back to its magical glistening self in no time!!

I will continue to update this page as more information comes out!

30/09/2022

Orlando was hit pretty hard. Hoping everyone is safe right now.

Pictures are starting to come in of the damage Hurricane Ian did to Disney World. I will post and update as I get them.

Stay safe everyone 🪄

29/09/2022

The closure of Disney World has caused disappointment felt throughout the nation as Hurricane Ian barrels towards Orlando.

If I have any Orlando residents, I’m sending love, prayers, and extra magic your way!!

I would also like to let all my disappointed guests know that your refunds for Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party ARE COMING!! They will take 7-10 days to reach your account but you will get your money back!!

I would also like to make note that Disney World and cast members understand your frustration but PLEASE do not take your frustrations out on cast members over the phone. Please remember they live in Florida too. They have families and houses they need to worry about as well as your vacation! There are very limited cast members on the phone line because so many are preoccupied with their families and watching over them.

Cast members are people just like you and I. These cast members have left their homes and families with a hurricane barreling towards them to help YOU. They cannot control the wait times, they cannot control Disney’s policies, and they lost definitely cannot control the weather. Please be mindful and respectful when you call with questions. Wait times will be long and that’s is no one’s fault!

Once again, to my Orlando followers, stay safe and protected. I’m sending lots of magic and good thoughts.

Have a magical night everyone!!

29/09/2022

Hurricane Ian is NO joke but as an animal lover, my question is…ARE THE ANIMALS OK ??? 😢
✩
✩

No need to fear! After some thorough research I’m here to assure you Disney not only takes care of their guest with magic but also animals!!

Depending on the animal, Disney’s Animal Kingdom will take animals into their shelters to keep them safe. Their shelters are comfortable and hurricane proof. Certain animals will ride out the storm there.

Other animals who will not fair well in small spaces and unfamiliar environments will stay in their habitats with hurricane protection surrounding them. Safari staff will stay on site during the hurricane and keep an eye on our wild friends during the hurricane.

I love, love, love, LOVE, animals and even 1,000 miles away, I feel comforted that my favorite animal like elephants and lions are safe and under a watchful magical eye of Disney’s Animal Kingdom’s wildlife experts!

Disney may be closed today and tomorrow but the magic stays in affect. If you’re looking to plan that magical vacation AFTER Hurricane Ian. Message me and I’ll send you a FREE quote.

Once again, my services are ALWAYS free and my one and only priority is making sure you’re family has the magical vacation you deserve. 🪄

“Home, a place where I can go. To take things off my shoulder…someone take me home..”

Woah ok so I’ve been gone for way too long!! Without getting into details, June was by far the hardest month of my life. To be able to take care of myself fully, I had to step away from social media and focus on my wellbeing, family, and life outside of being a travel agent.

Thankfully, I have come out on the other side. Happier and healthier and ready to get my Disney on once again!

Thank you to all the beautiful souls who checked up on me. I am so grateful I created this account and met all of you. I am back and here for good!

The magic is calling and I’ve picked up the phone for good this time 🪄

Pandora-World of Avatar 💙

WOW oh WOW 🤩 This land still amazes me! Imagineers never disappoint but Pandora is truly NEXT level! The way it looks at night is something you truly can’t find at any other theme park. If Flight Of Passage didn’t have a 60+ wait every freaking hour of the day, I would ride if non stop. I truly just love Pandora and I think you will too!!

If Pandora is next on your Disney Bucket List, fill out the Jotform in my bio and let’s get you there!! I’m a Travel Agent with Mouse Bound Vacations LLC and I specialize in Disney Vacations. Let’s get you one step closer to the magic ✨

“Believe in yourself, there will come a day when others have no choice but to believe with you”—Mufasa

One thing I don’t think people talk about enough is how incredibly majestic and magical The Tree Of Life is. People marvel at the castle and epcot ball but I rarely see anyone post about how incredible The Tree of Life is. The carvings, designs, hidden mickeys, intricate details that can only be seen up close, there’s no shortage of magic within this tree. With the kind of creativity and skills these imagineers had to have possessed to able to create this stunning piece of work boggles my mind still! I made this post just to rant about this truly underrated piece of Disney magic that amazes me every time I look at it!

12/05/2022

‘Ohana means family 🌅

I ate at ‘Ohana for the first time in my life and I was honestly let down. I was sooo excited to eat here but the food wasn’t too great (except for the juice and bread) and for the price we paid, I expected a lot more! It’s probably something we won’t do again for breakfast at least :(

The resort is beautiful though and I loved exploring it. I’ll definitely be back at the Polynesian soon, hopefully to stay there!

11/05/2022

Magic Kingdom day was definitely full of magic! Thank you Walt and Roy, for this amazing park that I get the privilege to call home!!

Epcot 🌎

I’ve been sooo busy at Disney, I’ve had NO time to post but I’m having the time of my life!!

Epcot Flower and Garden festival never disappoints! The topiaries alone make this a magical experience but then the FOOD!! As a Disney foodie gal, the Flower and Garden Festival is a can’t miss for me! All these special food and drinks. Nature, merchandise, and just being able to be surrounded by all that the festival has to offer makes this my #1 favorite festival in Epcot! Check my story for my reviews on the things I’ve eaten and drank and stay tuned for more post! Can’t write anymore tho…the line for Remy is moving!!
