Everyday feels like Christmas at Winter Summerland Miniature Golf! ♥️🎄Join Santa and his elves at their off-season retreat for two 18-hole adventures!

Seeing that the only thing Winter Summerland lacked was a golf course, Santa and his elves divided into 2 camps, one that enjoyed the warm Florida sun and another that preferred the snow and cold of the North Pole. The elves then built 2 distinctly different 18-hole golf experiences: a sand course named “Summer” and a snow course named “Winter.”

The Summer Course:
Enjoy fun in the sun at the Summer Course amid surfboards, sandcastles and ornaments hanging from palm trees. Deck the balls as you putt around peppermint-striped inner tubes, snapping clamshells and a melting snowman. Don’t wake sleeping Santa buried in the sand!

The Winter Course:
Putt your way to the North Hole on the Winter Course; but watch out for Squirty the Snowman! This “jolly, happy soul” sprays water at golfers when golf balls pass beneath him. Merry obstacles include giant peppermints, hockey sticks and the drawbridge of a fantastical, melting castle. The courses combine for the last holes, and after sinking the last putt on Hole 18, golfers receive a special message from Santa Claus, courtesy of the WinterNet!

*You can take a bus to Blizzard Beach, as the mini-golf entrance is right next door! If staying at Disney’s Coronado Springs, Disney’s All-Star Movies or Shades of Green, you can hop on a direct bus to Blizzard Beach. All other locations will require you to take a bus to Disney’s Animal Kingdom, where you can transfer.
*Walk-ups are welcome or you can book a tee time
*$14 per Adult, $12 per Child (Ages 3–9)

If you’re ready for spooky season in Walt Disney World, head on over to Magic Kingdom to get your fall fix — just beware of any hitchhiking ghosts that might want to come home with you! 🎃

I miss these adorable Mickey pumpkin wreaths along Main Street USA! Cinderella pumpkin wreaths made their debut last year in time for Walt Disney World’s 50th Anniversary, and Disney has brought them back this year to continue the celebration.

Are you going to be visiting Walt Disney World during this Halloween season?!

Breaking Disneyland news! ✨

2023 Disneyland vacation packages will be released on August 17th! If you’re interested in booking a Disneyland vacation, fill out the form in my bio.

I can’t stress enough on how important it is to book your Disney vacation as far out as you can! I have so many Walt Disney World clients that want to travel this fall and there is very slim availability.

Our friends from the Hundred-Acre Wood will be returning to Crystal Palace on September 20th, and I can’t wait! 🍂🎃

Inspired by Victorian greenhouses of the late 1800s, the Crystal Palace brims with light, topiaries, and tropical palms. It's an enchanting spot to dine in the heart of Magic Kingdom park with views of Cinderella Castle and Main Street, U.S.A.

Oh, there’s no place like home for the holidays! 🎶🎄

Is it even the holidays at Walt Disney World if you didn’t see the gingerbread house at the Grand Floridian?

Believe it or not, the gingerbread house at the Grand Floridian is edible. Disney’s top-tier chefs use real ingredients to design the house each year. For 2021, the gingerbread house boasts the following ingredients:

1,050 lbs of honey
140 pints of egg whites
600 lbs of powdered sugar
700 lbs of chocolate
800 lbs of flour
35 lbs of spices

The team will be heading to Walt Disney World in November and and I can’t wait to stay Grand Floridian Resort & Spa during the holidays!

No tricks, just treats! It’s almost time for the fall festivities to begin at Walt Disney World. I’ve been up early every morning to book dining for my clients traveling in September! 🎃🧡

A few of my fall favorites at Walt Disney World:

• Walking down Main Street seeing the store fronts decorated with leaves and pumpkins.
• Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party
• Minnie’s Halloween Dine at Hollywood and Vine at Disney’s Hollywood Studios
• EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival

Chewie, we’re home! ✨

Star Wars Launch Bay reopened this week at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and we can’t wait for hugs from our favorite Star Wars characters!

11/07/2022

The time has come for even more character dining experiences to make their grand return!

Across Walt Disney World, some guest-favorite restaurants are gearing up to welcome favorite pals back:

🍯 On September 20, some friends from the Hundred Acre Wood will be rejoining the celebratory feasting for lunch and dinner at The Crystal Palace: A Buffet with Characters featuring Winnie the Pooh and Friends.

🌺 On September 27, at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, get ready for some relaxing vibes and breakfast classics at the ‘Ohana Best Friends Breakfast featuring Lilo and Stitch. Nothing beats getting some love from everyone’s favorite mischievous friend, Stitch, to start off the day.

⛱ On October 4, the Cape May Café Minnie’s Beach Bash Breakfast will be making its exciting return. Have fun with Disney friends and enjoy morning favorites at this feast, including the mouthwatering Salted Caramel “Beach Buns.”

Which one is your favorite?! ✨

We’re getting ready for July 4th at Walt Disney World! 🇺🇸❤️ I am sharing my favorite “beat the heat” tips below.

• Bring neck fans and portable fans for strollers.
• Do indoor attractions and shows during the hottest parts of the day (not during the morning or evening!)
• Arrive early, take midday breaks, and go back to the parks in the evening! This is why I love staying on Disney property. The transition time between the parks and the resorts is quick and seamless.
• Taking an afternoon break is a great way to stay out of the sun during the hottest time of day. Then, you can come back in the evening feeling refreshed. We leave the parks after lunch and then head back for dinner or after dinner.
• Bring a rain jacket or buy ponchos. Ponchos are another must-have for Walt Disney World in the summer because afternoon storms are so common. Typically, it only rains for about an hour and then it stops. While afternoon storms will send a lot of people running for cover or leaving the park altogether, if you have a poncho, you can still enjoy yourself and stay dry. I love rainy days at Disney for the low crowds and cool weather!
• Stay hydrated. If you don’t want to pay $3 for bottled water in the parks, I recommend bringing your own water bottle or asking for a free cup of water from any of the quick-service restaurants in the parks or any Starbucks locations. (My husband loves to bring his own water bottle. Personally, I love the free ice water at the Starbucks locations!)

Gran Destino Tower, a newer addition to Coronado Springs Resort, offers a Deluxe-caliber accommodation at Moderate prices. This new tower features 15 stories, 545 guest rooms, a two-story lobby, and a themed table-service restaurant on the top of the tower. The tower also serves as the new main entrance for guests visiting the resort.

At Toledo, you can dine on tapas, seafood, and steak in style at this Spanish haven inspired by surrealist art and the 1930s avant-garde.

Be sure to swing by the new Three Bridges Bar & Grill, an open-air restaurant on an island in the middle of the resort’s 14-acre lake, Lago Dorado, with three namesake walkways stretching across the water, making it convenient no matter where guests stay at the resort.

✨ This past week, Walt Disney World hosted 30+ agents (including me!) from all different travel companies.

🦒 They treated us to a stay at the BEAUTIFUL Animal Kingdom Lodge!

🥘 We dined at Boma, Steakhouse 71, and more! We also sampled food from around World Showcase in EPCOT.

✨ While we were there, they gave us tours of 4 other Disney resorts and showed us the best amenities at all of them!

We learned a lot and made some new friends along the way. They made it clear that they appreciate YOU as guests, and us as Travel Planners helping you have the most magical stay ever.

Thank you to Disney and everyone involved in making this trip happen. It was amazing from start to finish!

I can’t wait to share some fun and exciting adventures over the next 4 days!
