😮🎉 So, you decided to skip the traditional Thanksgiving this year and head to the Wizarding World instead? In my best Harry Potter voice, “Brilliant choice!” 🧙—because is there a better way to spend the holiday than wandering the streets of Diagon Alley with a Butterbeer in hand? 🍻 But even if you’re passing on the turkey and stuffing, you can still get some seriously cozy comfort food at Leaky Cauldron. Bangers and Mash, Cottage Pie, Shepherd’s Pasty Pie, Beef Stew… and an assortment of other “stick to your ribs” options 🍲✨.

Who says you need turkey and cranberries to make Thanksgiving special? 🍂 Sometimes a Muggle just needs a plate of wizarding comfort food 🥧. If you were at Universal on Thanksgiving day, would you seek out a traditional sit-down meal, or completely forgo the big meal? 🍽️✨

It’s Princess Day, but let’s switch things up and celebrate the one and only Princess Peach from Super Nintendo World! 👑 If you’ve got kids who can’t get enough of Mario Kart 🚗💨, or you grew up playing Donkey Kong 🐒, then you’re going to love this. You can meet Princess Peach (Mario & Luigi too) at Super Nintendo World in Universal Studios Hollywood! 🍄 It’s the ultimate experience for the Mario Kart obsessed and feels just like you’ve walked into a video game 🎮. There’s a lot to know about experiencing this land to the fullest, so let me help you make the most of the trip if you plan to visit!

HOWEVER, if a west coast adventure isn’t in the cards, Universal Orlando’s Epic Universe opens on May 22, 2025 and will have both Super Mario Land and Donkey Kong Country 🍌! It’s going to be the hottest ticket in Orlando, and there are limitations on visiting! Send me a message for more information on booking an east or west coast Super Nintendo World adventure! 🌟

✨💭✨ Let’s daydream for a quick sec... The air is filled with the combined aroma of fresh popcorn 🍿 and peppermint, 🎶holiday music is playing as you make your way through the parks surrounded by twinkling lights, festive decor ☃️, and of course ALL the seasonal snacks🧁! Boy, does that iconic 🏰 Disneyland charm hit just a bit different (in the best way) from Walt Disney World at the holidays. There’s just something about Christmastime that makes our hearts ache a little for the past, and Disneyland somehow (magically) exudes an air of nostalgia while simultaneously feeling brand new! ✨

If you’ve been thinking about making the trek out west to see Walt’s original park, there’s no better time than the holiday season 🌟. Festivities kick off today, but it’s never too early to start dreaming about (and planning) for next year! I adore Disneyland and would LOVE to help you finally get there—just send me a message. 🎄🏰✨

Pickles aren’t just for sandwiches; they’re a Christmas tradition too! 🥒 In Germany, families hide a pickle ornament on their Christmas tree 🎄. The first person to find it on Christmas morning gets an extra present from Old Saint Nick 🎅. What a fun way to get everyone to take a good look at all the ornaments on the tree while adding a little extra pixie dust ✨ to the holiday festivities!

Stop by EPCOT’s Germany pavilion to learn more about this fun, quirky tradition and maybe snag your own pickle ornament as a fun souvenir of your trip or as a gag gift for the pickle-obsessed person in your life 🥒😂. I think we all have one of those! Anyone take part in this tradition? 🎄

If you’re heading to Disney’s Animal Kingdom thinking it’s just a quick stop for Pandora or Expedition Everest, let me stop you right there. The real magic is the unexpected entertainment that’ll make you fall in love with this park before you even realize it’s happening 🌿✨. From Winged Encounters where macaws soar above you 🦜, to the mesmerizing DiVine, a living, breathing vine 🌿—these are just a couple of the surprises that make Animal Kingdom unforgettable. The thrilling attractions are a bonus for sure 🎢!

These are the moments—the unplanned magic—that make Animal Kingdom more than just a park. It’s a place that makes you slow down, look around, and really appreciate nature and the storytelling that only Disney can do. Have a favorite memory at Animal Kingdom? We want to hear it! 🌿✨

😏🤯 Want to know a cruise secret that may go against everything you thought you knew?! Don’t choose a midship room for your balcony stateroom; choose an AFT VIEW balcony stateroom 🚢. These babies are different from just being in the aft (back) section of the ship. These are the rooms ALLLLL the way on the back of the ship 🌅. Your balcony will give you completely unobstructed views of wherever you are sailing, you will be mesmerized by the constant views of the wake 🌊, and some cruise lines even have extra-large rooms and balconies for their aft view rooms ✨.

Now, these are not necessarily called “aft view,” so you have to specifically choose these staterooms carefully. They will be some of the first rooms to sell out, and you surely won’t get one if you do a “guaranteed” stateroom booking. So I do encourage my guests to let me know if there are specific rooms and areas they want, so I can match them with the best possible stateroom! 🛳️

Do you have strong opinions on your cruise stateroom? Anyone ever tried an aft view room? 🌅🚢

Heroes Work Here! This Veterans Day, let’s take a moment to honor the incredible contributions of our U.S. military service members—and shine a light on Disney’s Heroes Work Here program 🇺🇸✨.

Since 2012, Disney has hired thousands of veterans, offering jobs, support, and resources to help them successfully transition into civilian careers. Keep an eye out for markers like this one in EPCOT—a tribute to Disney’s commitment to our heroes. As a true patriot, no doubt Walt Disney would be proud of the way his company is thanking our veterans for their service! 👏

To all the veterans out there—thank you for your dedication, bravery, and sacrifice. Let’s celebrate the heroes in our lives today; put their names in the comments, or simply say thank you! 🇺🇸❤️🤍💙

Whether you’re visiting Magic Kingdom in July or December, for kids who believe in the magic of Santa Claus 🎅, here’s a memory none of you will forget.

This is one of those touches that just makes a person fall in love with the Disney magic! ✨

If you’re a parent or grandparent, you know how incredibly fast these years fly by ❤️. When they handwrite that letter, believing with all their hearts… aaaaah…that’s a memory you’ll hold onto forever! Take all the pictures! 📸 Who grew up writing to Santa? 🎅✨

So, you're heading to Walt Disney World during the holidays…and you're wondering if you should drop the extra cash on Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party? 🎄 Honestly, who isn’t! It's a big splurge, and let’s be real—the trip already isn’t exactly easy on the wallet 💸.

But here’s the thing: that cost offers shorter wait times for the best rides 🎢, exclusive shows and parades you won’t see during the day 🎉, free holiday treats and cocoa ☕🍪, and snow falling on Main Street, U.S.A. ❄️. I mean, where else can you get that? Plus, “limited capacity” means lower crowds and not feeling like you're battling for space with every other human on the planet.

Listen, I can tell you what makes the event special, but at the end of the day, you’ve got to weigh whether those perks are enough to justify the price. If you want to know more or need help deciding if it’s worth it for you, I’m here to help! 🎄✨

➡️ Park hopper or base tickets? It’s one of the top questions we travel agents get. Deciding if the extra cost is worth it can be tough—no one wants to waste money, but time is just as valuable 💸⏰. Disney’s park hopper ticket upgrade gives you more value for both in a few ways:

Dining 🍽️: Finding that your favorite restaurants seem to be in just one or two parks? With a park hopper, you can easily dine at any park at any time.

Flexibility 🌐: Swamped by crowds? A park hopper lets you switch parks if one feels too packed. A leisurely afternoon or evening stroll around World Showcase could be just what you need after a busy Magic Kingdom morning.

Lightning Lanes ⚡🎢: Want to hit top rides in different parks on the same day? With the Lightning Lane Single Pass, you can purchase two per day, and they don’t have to be in the same park.

Maximize time ⏳: If your time is limited, you can ride your must-dos and then bounce to the next park with ease.

🤔 Are you team park hopper or team base ticket? Tell us in the comments!
