✨️ As if we needed reason to love this park any more, Encanto will be making its way to Animal Kingdom in 2027! ✨️

The Family Madrigal has invited you to come on over; Antonio is getting his gift! In this attraction, you will visit the newest room in the Casita, full of lush rainforest and animals.

This makeover is part of an even larger transformation, where a whopping 11 acres will be the future site of Pueblo Esperanza. It will include a "large hacienda which will be one of the largest quick-service restaurants at Walt Disney World Resort." The "lush and sprawling" space will feature "a large fountain in the center where the villagers like to gather and tell stories."

The first suspended coaster ever in a Disney park, "...ride on one of those doors like Mike and Sulley." 💚💙

More than a ride, step into "a living, breathing, and not-at-all-scary 'Monster's Inc.' inspired area where you'll be able to stroll the streets alongside some of your favorite monsters."

Frontierland is being re-imagined... Considering its Westward Expansion origins, it's the perfect place for our West Coast friends. There will be family-friendly fun for all, but adults and older children will get to experience "[racing] through the mountains, dodging geysers and -- Mater's favorite -- splashing through mudholes."

My family and I are huge fans of Lightning McQueen and The World's Best Backwards Driver, Tow Mater! We're very excited to see a stronger presence of their franchise at Walt Disney World.

🎃✨️ Throwback to Our First Family WDW Trip ✨️🎃

Taking my son to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party ( ) for the first time was pure magic. From trick-or-treating to seeing our favorite characters decked out in their best costumes, it's one of my fondest memories.

We didn't know then what we know now about special needs travel, and the idea of becoming a travel agent was a far-off dream. We've come so far.

MNSSHP will forever hold a special place in my heart, and I love to help other families create these moments together, too.

In honor of the start of the season, my love for this kiddo, and dreams coming true... One of my favorite pics of my baby and me during one of my favorite events to attend. 🧡

Dreaming of ? 🎄 Same, because tickets for Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party are on sale NOW! Can confirm: Christmas at is the MOST magical.

🌺 Aloha, Disney Lovers! 🌺

The Polynesian Resort is my happy place, instantly sweeping me away to the tropics of Hawaii. (My favorite show at Disney is also The Enchanted Tiki Room, so I'm sensing a theme here. 🙈)

Have you ever stayed here, or is it still on your bucket list? Either way, don't forget to swing by for a meal (or two, or three) on your next visit - think of me when you do!

✨️ Disney isn't the only world we travel. ✨️

If you're experiencing uncertainty, you're not alone.

While we will always love the mouse, there are adventures to be had beyond those gates.

Where will you go next?!

Things I want to see make a comeback:
Kakamora Float 🍍🥥

"Coconut Soft-serve on top of Pineapple Juice and Blue Curaçao Syrup Garnished with a Chocolate Kakamora Cake Pop"

I'm drooling just thinking about it.
