👑🏰 🇫🇷The queen of all princess castles has got to be Disneyland Paris’ Le Château de la Belle au Bois Dormant (translation: Sleeping Beauty Castle). You may want to fight me on this, but first let me make my pitch – it has an animatronic dragon! 🐉🔥I don’t think I need to say more, but I will.

🏰✨Visually stunning, guests are welcome inside where not only are you presented with the retelling of the original story through readings and tapestries as you walk up around and through, but you feel as if you’ve stepped inside the fairytale. 🌹🪞✨Snoring life-sized guards, impressive stone pillars, stunning stained glass windows, winding staircases...it’s all so fantastic! Then you head below to the Dragon’s lair. You may find her sleeping, but not for long...🐉💨

🍹🛳️ While you could never mistake a Disney sailing for a “booze cruise” (they don’t have alcohol packages like most cruise lines), what they do offer is a wide variety of beverage tastings!🍷🍺🥃

Whether you prefer wine, beer or spirits there’s a seminar for every taste in libation. 🌅🥂🍹One such experience, the Kick Start Your Day Beverage Tasting, is uniquely only offered on embarkation day. For around $40, those who partake receive a signature mimosa, Bloody Mary and three non-alcoholic craft juice drinks. If brunch style cocktails are your favorite, this is the tasting for you! 🥰

It’s Random Act of Kindness Day, and it’s got me thinking about all the ways I’ve seen strangers be really good to each other over the years. 💕✨ From leaving trinkets to find 🎁, handing out compliments 😊, saying “Happy Birthday” 🎂, sharing extra dining credits 🍽️, or handing off expensive balloons 🎈 that won’t be able to travel home, there are plenty of ways Disney folks have paid it forward in the parks. 🏰✨

🏨✨🌎 For a resort with serious style, great amenities, and a little extra value, consider Loews Sapphire Falls Resort at Universal Orlando Resort! 💰🌟 It’s the perfect choice for families who want a taste of luxury without breaking the bank. While there are MANY reasons to call this resort your Universal “home”, here are the top 5:

🚤 Boat Access: Skip the bus and enjoy a scenic ride to CityWalk and the parks—just like the Signature hotels!

🌋 Proximity to Volcano Bay: You’re just a short walk from Universal’s water park paradise.

🌴 Incredible Style: The laid-back tropical vibes are perfect for unwinding after a day of thrills. With stunning pools, lush landscaping, and Caribbean-inspired decor, it feels like an island getaway within a theme park vacation.

🍽️ Family-Friendly Dining: From the flavorful offerings at Amatista Cookhouse to grab-and-go options for those early park mornings at New Dutch Trading Co. and the impressive menu at Strong Water Tavern, there’s something for everyone.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family Suites: Give yourself and everyone in the family a little SPACE. Thoughtfully appointed suites with adjoining rooms for the kids provide an extra level of comfort.

🍽️✨ We spend a lot of time raving about Disney’s amazing, upscale eats, food festival dishes and full service restaurants but what if all you really want are some chicken tenders and fries? 🍗🍟 No judgment here! Sometimes, after eating clean at home, a theme park is exactly the place to indulge in those crispy, golden fries, loaded hot dog or a juicy, 5-napkin burger piled high with toppings. 😋

At Walt Disney World, there’s no shortage of quick dining locations, but they aren’t all created equally. Here’s a solid line-up for scoring some tasty classic theme park fare:

🌭 Casey’s Corner (Magic Kingdom) Hot Dogs/Corn Dogs

🍗 Backlot Express (Hollywood Studios) Chicken Tenders

🔥 Flame Tree Barbecue (Animal Kingdom) Chicken/ribs

🍕 Connections Eatery (EPCOT) Pizza, Burgers, Tenders

🫣 OK, hear me out, you probably don’t think of Universal Orlando Resort when you think about where to go on a romantic getaway. 💖✈️Believe it or not, there are lots of ways to squeeze in some romance for you and your Valentine when you also like to walk hand-in-hand toward your favorite coaster! 🫶🎢 Here are some suggestions:

💖 Stay on property: Not only will you love the perks like being close to the parks but you also get daily Early Park Admission. Great properties for couples are Portofino Bay or Loews Royal Pacific (hello, Express Pass Unlimited) and Sapphire Falls (that lobby!!)

💖 Dining: You’re going to want to avoid the common eateries full of kids and families. Give Mama Della’s at Portofino Bay and Mythos at Islands of Adventure a shot for some grown up dining.

💖 Hollywood Drive-In Golf: What’s more romantic than serious competition?! Make a friendly bet and make sure the winner gets to pick out something special!

💖 Feel like royalty with no lines or hassles and book a VIP tour. There are private and non-private options but the perks are amazing for either - things like front of the line access, free parking, meals, and more!

🤫🌺🍹Here’s a little secret: Tucked away at Loews Royal Pacific Resort is one of Universal Orlando Resort’s most enchanting hidden gems—the Wantilan Luau! 🎶

🎢 While others are chasing thrills in the parks, unwind with an island-inspired buffet, tropical cocktails, and a show straight out of an island paradise. Think vibrant hula dancers, fire twirlers, and the unmistakable spirit of aloha! 🍍 It’s like having a bit of Hawaii right in Orlando’s backyard!

😯 Kids will be mesmerized by the performances (and appreciate a kid-friendly menu), and adults will love the endless Hawaiian dishes (and Mai Tais!). It makes for a magical date night or a thrilling ending to a slow, easy non-theme park day. 🤩 Talk about making memories!

🙈👋 Introverts, let’s talk Disney Cruise Line dining. If the thought of sharing a table at dinner makes you nervous, you’re not alone! While you can request a private table, sometimes you’ll be seated with other guests. 😬 But don’t worry! Here are a few pros about sharing a table:

🏰 You already have something in common—you’re all on a Disney cruise! Conversations often naturally flow around favorite activities, ports, or shows.

🤩 Many guests end up making friends or learning tips from their tablemates, which can be a fun bonus!

👯‍♀️ Kids often hit it off and make fast friends!
