Virtual Queue is NOT ❌️ the same as Lightning LaneVirtual Queue isn’t a front-of-the-line pass—you will likely still wait after you scan in, but it will be a significantly shorter wait than if these rides were using a standby line.Virtual Queue lets you ride the newest attractions without spending hours in line. You might still have to wait, but instead of spending precious park hours standing in a physical queue line, you can enjoy other rides, catch a show, grab a bite to eat, or meet some characters. It’s all about maximizing your time and making the most of everything Walt Disney World has to offer.Currently, the Virtual Queue is available for three amazing rides: Tron Lightcycle Run (Magic Kingdom)Tiana’s Bayou Adventure (Magic Kingdom) Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind (EPCOT)#virtualqueue #disneytips #waltdisneyworldvacation #disneyvirtualqueue #disneylightninglane #lightninglane #disneyblog #disneytraveladvisor #disneyvacationplanning #disneyworldtips
🦓🍃 WHY I LOVE DISNEY'S ANIMAL KINGDOM LODGE:Beautiful African cultural theming -The theming of this resort is one of the best on Walt Disney World property. It's warm and inviting, artistic and natural. One of my favorite things to do is relax in the lobby and explore the artwork done by African artists.Views of the Savanna throughout the resort, including rooms -The most unique feature of this resort is the Savanna it surrounds. The Savanna is home to many animals including giraffe, zebras, ostrich, gazelles, and more! You can enjoy views of the Savanna from various viewing points around the resort and can even pay a premium price for a Savanna-facing room. It's worth it!Some of the best dining at Walt Disney World - Restaurants at Animal Kingdom Lodge are inspired by traditional African cuisine and bring some incredible flavors to your palette. Most widely known are Boma - Flavors of Africa (buffet style) and Sanaa (table service). They also have more upscale dining at, Jiko.Variety of room types -This resort is great for large groups/families traveling together and offers a variety of room types: standard, villa, and studio.💬Have you stayed at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge?

3 things that could be better on Virgin Voyages...SHIP LAYOUTIf it's your first sail with Virgin Voyages, the ship layout can feel a bit choppy and hard to navigate. However, the more I sail, the easier it becomes to navigate, and it feels more like warm, cozy gathering spaces rather than a choppy layout.THE APPWhile the concept of the Virgin Voyages app is excellent, it was sometimes a bit glitchy or slow.Here are a few tips to work around it: contact Sailor Services by phone or chat to book dining and excursions, or go to the excursion desk or box office (day one only) to get help. Whatever you do, do NOT delete the app and try to redownload it once you’ve left the port.POOL SIZEThe pool is a little small for my liking, which makes sea days extra crowded. I also don’t love the pool’s location and that you don’t have views of the sea while at the pool. To help, if I plan to spend the day at the pool, I get up early and grab a spot on one of the poolside daybeds or plan to sit on the deck above to enjoy pool and sea views with a breeze.#virginvoyagescruiseline #virginvoyagescruise #virginvoyagescruising #virginvoyagescruiseship #cruising #adultsonlycruising #adultsonlycruises #adultsonlycruise #cruisepool
WHAT'S NEW at Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party this year (2024)!💜 MORE VILLAINS!We all love more villains at Halloween time and this year Walt Disney World has scattered more villains throughout the park during the party.We noticed Cruella de Vil welcoming guests from a platform at the party entrance. The interaction felt similar to those on the treat trails at Oogie Boogie Bash in Disney's California Adventure. 💚 Meet and Greet with Bruno from EncantoBruno is meeting guests for the first time at Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party alongside Mirabel. Find them at the Fairytale Garden.🧡 Mickey and Minnie have new neon spiderweb outfitsGrab a photo with your favorite duo sporting their new neon spiderweb attire.💬 What are you most excited for at MNSSHP this year?!#mnsshp2024 #mnsshptips #mnsshpinfo #mickeysnotsoscary #wdwhalloween #wdwafterhours #disneyworldhalloween #wdwhalloweenparty #disneyvillains #wdwcharacters #disneycharacters #spookyseason
What I LOVED about my Virgin Voyages cruise:🍽️ Innovative DiningNo buffets, no main dining room, and no upcharges for better food.Every meal is unique, and delicious, and brings a big wow factor!🎫 Easy Boarding ProcessSimply arrive at your designated time and board the ship. No need to stand around and wait to board. 🚫 No Kids!The adult-only policy means no scrambling kids around the pool or young ones sprinting down hallways. It’s a different, more relaxed vibe. It’s like enjoying an adult dinner with none of the chaos. I have nothing against kids; I have a few of my own and love to vacation with them. But it’s also nice to be in an adults-only environment when choosing to vacation without kids🌿 Eco-Friendly InitiativesTheir ban on single-use plastics and dedication to sustainable seafood is impressive. This means no plastic water bottles are onboard anywhere. Bring your water bottle or purchase one in the gift shop to keep yourself hydrated.💃 Entertainment with a TwistThe entertainment on Virgin is in smaller venues with multiple different options each evening. This keeps you from running yourself ragged, afraid you’ll miss out. There’s more than enough to do without being “too much.”🛏️ Stylish CabinsVirgin Voyages' cabins feature carefully curated designs that scream sleek luxury and comfort. #virginvoyagescruises #virginvoyagesships #virginvoyagescruise #virginvoyagescruising #adultsonlycruise #adultsonlyvacation #adultsonlycruising #scarletnight #ladyscarlet #virginvoyagestips #cruisetravel #cruisevacation

This is one of those vacations you'll WANT to overpack for...An Alaskan cruise.HERE'S WHY:With the extra hours of sunlight, the daytime highs can feel warmer by midday, so the smartest choice is plenty of layers. This is especially true when you’ll be off the ship on excursions; you’ll want to peel off and layer up as needed, so having a large, comfortable bag or backpack to stash or grab extra layers from is also a must. Even if you’re staunchly Team Carry On, Alaska may be a destination where checking a bag may make your life easier. Some items you’ll want to have with you are a packable parka, a waterproof jacket (bonus if you can wear your parka underneath to layer), hats and gloves, and a comfortable pair of closed-toe shoes. ❗️ This is one item you NEED to bring with you: BINOCULARSFrom soaring bald eagles to breaching whales, to calving glaciers, the list of once-in-a-lifetime sights you can see in Alaska is almost never-ending, and you won’t want to miss any of it because it’s too far to see clearly! Trust me: Don’t forget binoculars!#alaskancruise #cruisepacking #cruisemusthaves #disneyalaskancruise #dclalaska #disneyalaska #cruisealaska #wondersofalaska #cruisemusthaves #cruisepackinglist #cruisetips

TIPS FOR SECURING A VIRTUAL QUEUE SPOT AT WDW📲 Confirm your party BEFORE 7 AMHave only one person in your group make the virtual queue reservation in their My Disney Experience app. Everyone in the group must be linked to this person's account to be included in the virtual queue reservation.Double-checking this beforehand will prevent you from scrambling at the last minute.📲 Use your cellular dataEspecially if you're staying on Disney property. Disney Wifi is spotty on its own, but add every other Disney guest using the Wifi at the same time, and it's even slower.📲 Know that the Refresh button becomes the Virtual Queue buttonIf you keep hitting refresh while waiting for the Virtual Queue to open up, you'll likely end up tapping Join Virtual Queue instantly when it's time to secure your spot.📲 Have someone in your party pull up a world clockThis will give you the most accurate countdown to 7 AM. While this might sound over the top, every second counts as most of the Virtual Queue attractions are brand new and spots fill up in the first few seconds.*You'll want someone else to do this on a phone separate from the booking phone, otherwise, you'll lose precious time switching apps.VIRTUAL QUEUE IS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE FOR:Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic RewindTron Lightcycle RunTiana's Bayou AdventureStay tuned for another reel about the difference between Virtual Queues and Lightning Lanes...💬 Drop your questions in the comments!

TIERS ARE BACK AT WDWWhat does this mean?!With the reimagined Genie+ system (now called Lightning Lane Multi Pass), you can pre-book your lightning lane selections before your trip (further explanation can be found in a previous reel on my feed).✌🏻 Attractions at Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, and EPCOT have been categorized into two tiers. Animal Kingdom will not have any tiers.✨️ Tiers are only for pre-booking. If you book same-day, the tiers no longer apply.⚡️ You can book up to 3 return times for the first park you'll visit each day of your trip. Here's how it'll work:You can choose 1 attraction from the top tier and 2 from the next tier OR all 3 selections from the "bottom" tier.❌️ You can only book Lightning Lane for each ride one time per day. If you want to ride again, you'll have to use the standby line.💬 Questions? It's so much new information for a vacation, so please leave a comment with your questions or message me directly.
