Happy Foodie Friday! This is the grilled marinated steak sandwich from the Festival of the Arts 😋
Think you’re in the middle of the desert? Think again! This is Cars Land in Disney California Adventure 😍 you’d never guess you’re right in the middle of a city.
Who would you most like to meet??
Chewbacca?
BB8?
Star Lord and Groot?
Happy Foodie Friday! If you want to check out some of the finest entertainment in the galaxy, head to Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe to hear Sonny Eclipse perform all day and night!
A bit of a different Foodie Friday for you… be in the lookout when you’re in the Hog’s Head in Hogsmead at Universal’s Islands of Adventure… you just might see the hog’s head move!
Did you catch the announcement this week from Universal Studios? The first Halloween Horror Nights house was announced and it’s Slaughter Sinema 2! If you’re interested in attending this premier Halloween event, let’s talk now to make sure you’re able to secure your tickets!
I love a good walk down the main strip in Hollywood Studios! Did you know that almost every building here is themed after a real building or business in Hollywood?
What better place to get a pretzel than in Epcot?! Today’s foodie Friday brought to you by the Germany pavilion. Do yourself a favor and grab one of these and a beer!
Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party tickets go on sale to the general public today! You can see all the party dates highlighted here! Wanna go? Shoot me a message and let’s make it happen 😄
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure now has an opening date! Officially you’ll be able to embark on this new adventure starting June 28!
This is what has been under way to replace Splash Mountain, so you can expect to see the same/similar track but with completely different theming! Disney has given us some behind the scenes looks and the animatronics they made for this ride look incredible 😍
How fun is it that you can see real movie used props all over Universal? It’s by far one of my favorite things about their parks!
Move over Gideon’s Bakehouse, there’s a new cookie in town! Summer House On The Lake opened in Disney Springs in late 2023 and boy oh boy are these cookies absolutely worth a stop!
Hear me out… I love Gideons and if you’ve never had them, I think it’s worth it to get those cookies over these. HOWEVER, if you have had Gideons and are looking to try something different, this is your solution 😁
1. No long wait or virtual queue. Gideons famously usually had at least a half hour wait or even multiple hours depending on when you go. Summer House is a restaurant but has a separate entrance to the cookie bar. When I was there, I walked right up with no waiting!
2. These cookies are HUGE. Gideons cookies are also big but are more thick and tall. These are wide but also relatively thick.
3. Summer House offers way more flavors and options. Pictured here are a chocolate chip cookie with Rice Krispies, apple oatmeal, and glazed lemon 🤤
Princess Fairytale Hall! This is where you can meet 4 princesses on a daily basis. It’s typically Cinderella and Elena of Avalor in one queue and Rapunzel and Tiana in the other queue but sometimes you will see a visiting princess instead of one of those four! You can use Genie+ here, and I recommend doing so if meeting princesses is at the top of your list!
One year ago today I set sail on my first Disney Cruise on the Disney Wish! It was so much fun and I can’t wait for my next cruise 😉
I love Rapunzel on the outside of the Disney Wish! All the ships are different, but of course this one’s my favorite!
Today’s foodie Friday features Mickey waffles 😋 you can’t beat it! Waffles just taste better in Mickey shape! You can find these almost anywhere on property so you’re never in short supply!
No Goofin around here! I love this picture at the MCO airport 😆
Dates were just announced for the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival! You’ll be able to enjoy food and drinks from around the world between August 29 - November 23!
Interested in checking it out? Let’s talk and I can get you a quote ☺️ all it takes is a $200 deposit to secure your vacation!
We’re Soarin’ into the new week 😉
One of the best, more relaxing rides in Disney. A true classic and known as everyone’s mom’s favorite ride!
Do you love Soarin’? Do you prefer Soarin’ over California or Soarin’ Around the World?
Happy foodie Friday! These are the crazy milkshakes from Black Tap at Downtown Disney in Disneyland! Definitely decadent but worth a try at least once 😁
Getting memory maker/photo pass is always a good idea in my opinion! This enabled me to get pictures of myself when I was at Disneyland by myself. Thankfully at Disneyland, photo pass is included when you purchase Genie+!
Wishing I was back at sea! We opted for an ocean view stateroom while sailing but next time I’m definitely going with the verandah!
This here is Florean Fortescue’s ice cream! Specifically, peanut butter and strawberry ice cream 🤤 boy oh boy is this flavor magical! You can find it in Diagon Alley, Universal Studios Orlando!
Florean’s can get a pretty long line (especially on hot days), so while it’s best if you can get it straight from the source, they do also sell cups of ice cream in both Wizarding Worlds in other shops as well.
I don’t know if it’ll ever get old seeing those lightcycles race by! And yes, this was the first time I’d ever seen it… but it can just tell it’s a sight that I won’t ever tire of seeing!
Check out these great offers at Disney World this summer! Anyone can save up to 30% on Disney resort hotels when you stay longer! And if you’re a Disney Visa Cardholder, you can get a FREE dining plan!
If you’re looking to go to Disney World this summer, let’s chat and I can get you a quote!
Here’s hoping you have a magical Monday! Asha is one of the newest meet and greets at Disney! You can find her in EPCOT near the world showcase entrance. She was so lovely to talk to! We chatted about Valentino, animals and food!
Also this is your PSA that Wish is now streaming on Disney+ 😉 I need more people to watch it so we can discuss all the easter eggs!
Sometimes all you need is a good meat and cheese pairing for foodie Friday. And this is it! Available on the Disney Wish at 1923 🤌🏻
#1923
This just feels like London.. right? I don’t know, I’ve never been 😅 but I trust the designers of Universal Studios Florida knew what they were doing! You can even spot 12 Grimmauld Place in the background 😉

Foodie Friday is slightly different today! While the video isn’t exactly a food, it’s based off a food! So here’s the deal, you can buy chocolate frogs in Universal! At Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, and City Walk. Each frog is a pretty hefty piece of chocolate and also comes with a witch or wizard card. Also, be sure to check out the very cool window displays in Diagon Alley and Hogsmead because they move and are so magical ✨ #universalorlandoresort #universaltravelagent #universaltravelplanner #uotraveladvisor #universalorlando #harrypotter #chocolatefrog #diagonalley #hogsmeade
A lot of people know that the Knight Bus is located in Universal Studios, but most people don’t know that you can go around to the back of it and see inside! And this was actually used in the movies! It’s so cool to see all the different props! And obviously, don’t forget to stop by and talk to Stan and the shrunken head; they’re a riot! #universaltravelagent #universaltravelplanner #uotraveladvisor #universalorlandoresort #universalstudiosflorida #knightbus #harrypotter #diagonalley
This has to be one of the best queues ever! Escape from Gringotts at Universal Studios takes you through Gringotts and the very beginning is this breathtaking scene from the bank entrance. I mean, how realistic are those goblins?! #universalorlandoresort #universaltravelagent #universaltravelplanner #uotraveladvisor #travelagent #escapefromgringotts #gringotts #universal #studios #universalstudiosflorida
Foodie Friday! Check out the bakery case in Bake My Day, one of the newest places in Minion Land! Which would you want to try??
Check out the Family Suite at Cabana Bay Universal Orlando Resort! These rooms feature:👩🏼🍳A kitchenette with a mini fridge, microwave and sink as well as two sleeping areas. 🛋️The living area doubles as a bedroom with a pull out sofa and a privacy partition separates that from the main bedroom which has two queen beds. 🚽The bathroom is compartmentalized which makes getting ready in the morning easy!A family of 6 can easily share this space! What’s your favorite part of this room?
Happy International Roller Coaster Day from the wildest ride in the wilderness!

Favorite Nighttime Spectacular?? I’m a little embarrassed to say I’d never seen Fantasmic at Hollywood Studios until THIS year… what on Earth was wrong with me? This show is incredible and I can’t wait for the fire to come back! What’s your favorite nighttime show at Disney? #disneytravelprofessional #disneytravelplanner #disneytravelagent #disneylove #travelagent #disneyvacation #disneyparks #Hollywood #studios #hollywoodstudios #fantasmic
Ahh… a sight that never quite gets old 😍 watching the dragon shoot fire off the top of Gringotts is definitely something 11 year old me never thought would be a real thing, but I love it! You can catch the same thing every 10 minutes (on the ten, weather pending) in Diagon Alley, Universal Studios #uotraveladvisor #universalorlandoresort #universaltravelagent #universaltravelplanner #travelagent #harrypotter #diagonalley #gringottsdragon
Happy Valentine's Day! Find yourself someone who will look at you the way Drunk Hippo looks at everyone all day every day 🤣

FUN FACT FRIDAY! Happy Friday, y’all! Here’s a Disney World fun fact for you: You’re never far away from a trash can while at WDW. Before opening, they did extensive research on how long a person will hold onto a piece of trash before dropping it on the ground. Therefore, you’ll never be more than 30 steps away from a trash can! They really did think of everything! Did you know this fun fact? Let me know! #funfactfriday #disneyfunfacts #funfacts #disneyworld #disney #disneytrashcans
