Hi Friends!

I had to take a step back for a while to focus on my family and myself, but I'm back and ready to plan your next vacation!

Christmas time in Walt Disney World is right around the corner. There's still plenty of time to book a trip. My favorite part of Christmas in Disney is seeing the huge trees in the parks and when it snows on main street❄ Christmas is always magical but Disney does it best 🎅🏻🎄

Often times getting a reservation for the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique is tricky. Especially if you're less than 60 days out.

BUT, here's a tip if you can't get in or would rather not spend the money..

Between Princess Fairytale Hall and the castle, there is Sir Mickey's!
Here you can find a huge variety of princess dresses, costumes, accessories, and more.

Then, you can get pixie dusted by a cast member! Your kiddos will sparkle and shine all day, and possibly all week 🤪

If your kids are anything like mine, they aren't big on waiting in lines for attractions.

So, I present to you ~Loews Royal Pacific Resort at Universal Orlando~

This tranquil and tropical resort gives guests FREE express passes with their already purchased theme park admission!

With these passes, you can skip the line one time per attraction per guest.

Whether lounging by the sparkling pools, indulging in exquisite cuisine, or exploring nearby theme parks, let the allure of the Pacific Islands transport you to a realm of unparalleled tranquility and sophistication.
AND, skip those lines!!

Message me to start booking a vacation to Universal Orlando!

1900 Park Fare is reopening at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa on April 10th!

This restaurant will be buffet style for breakfast and dinner and will be returning with some past favorites as well as some new touches!

Now with characters such as Aladdin, Cinderella, Mirabel, and Tiana in her new look.

Reservations are opening March 5th.

My next visit I am for sure going to be trying this out. Message me to start booking your next trip! I book dining reservations too😉

Did you know Royal Caribbean also has their own private island? Perfect Day at CoCoCay is an island in the Bahamas with something for everyone.

With tons of food options, waterslides, a zip line, relaxing beaches and pools, you will not be disappointed here.

For my local friends- Royal Caribbean has sailings right out of Cape Liberty, NJ if you want to save money by not flying!

Message me to start booking a sailing aboard one of these beauuutiful ships!

While everyone has their own strategies when visiting the parks-here's an example of how I do Epcot with 3 kids!
While this isn't exact (it's all dependent on crowds, genie + availability, and the moods of my kids iykyk) this is usually how our day goes!
We are never park open to close people. We love to take advantage of the resort pools midday and get a little break. This is another great reason to stay at a WDW resort. Disney transportation makes it so convenient to leave and come back to the parks later!

Which Walt Disney World Resorts are on your bucket list?

I have a few that I dream of staying at, and the Riviera Resort is one of them!

This Europe inspired resort has rooms ranging from studios to 3 bedroom villas.

Enjoy rooftop dining at Topolino's Terrace or get a quick bite at Primo Piatto.

And the best part is, it's part of Disney's Skyliner Transporation! This is my favorite way to get around WDW.

Let's talk ~MagicBands~

I am FOREVER a basic MagicBand fan. You have 4 options when entering the parks:
MagicBand
MagicBand+
MagicMobile pass
Admission Card

Now why do I choose the basic MagicBand?
You don't have to charge it, and its waterproof!
I always stay at a WDW Resort, so my MagicBand can be used as a room key, park admission, form of payment and to scan into lightning lane lines.

With 3 kids I don't have to worry about misplacing cards or my phone dying...It's hands free! Making the MagicBand the most convenient option for us.

What's your favorite way to enter the parks?

👸💖🛳️ Cinderella said a dream is a wish your heart makes, and a sailing on the Disney Dream is real life magic!! Today marks lucky number 13 years since it sailed on its maiden voyage. The Dream makes port around several Caribbean islands, and even includes specialty sailings like 🦸🏾‍♀️🎄🎃 Marvel Day at Sea, Very Merrytime, and Halloween on the High Seas cruises. Kids will go gaga for the youth clubs and pools, and the whole family will love the Broadway-style shows each evening. ✨

❤️🌟📲Today is National Compliment Day and at Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resorts, they believe in spreading the love! If a Cast Member has made your Disney experience even more magical, don't forget to share the joy. The My Disney Experience app’s Mobile Cast Compliment feature makes it super easy to leave a compliment for those who went above and beyond to make your visit special.

DID YOU KNOW?
Lyft offers "Minnie vans" you can book to take you places throughout the Walt Disney World Resort!

These Minnie vans sit 6 and they offer 2 car seats the driver will help install for your kiddos. We were also able to fit our double stroller in the trunk.

Some mornings when the lines to get on the bus seem tedious, book one of these!

The driver was the friendliest man. He put on a movie for the kids and gave us his best WDW tips and tricks and a lot of fun facts.

Some times spending the extra money for convenience and to save time is totally worth it.

HOME for the week
Disney's Art of Animation Resort.
This is usually our go to resort with kids as the theming makes it feel like pure Disney magic. And my kiddos love the skyliner transportation! After 3 stays in the Cars Suites, we decided to try out the Lion King ones this time! This suite has a queen sized bed, 2 full bathrooms, a pull down Murphy bed and a pull out couch-sleeping 6. It's perfect for families and super roomy! Follow along for all our Disney Adventures this week ❤️

🌐🇨🇦🍁🐻EPCOT’S Canada pavilion is a gem and way more than just maple popcorn and a KidCot station. It’s stunning, educational, inspiring, offers incredible photo backdrops and has some really unique merch in the two small shops. But, if you only have time to stop and appreciate one thing here, stop to admire and read about the hand-carved totem pole. That’s no machine-made replica! So unique and impressive.

18/01/2024

💛🐝🧸 It’s Winnie the Pooh Day! The Hundred Acre Wood’s favorite silly ol’ bear is full of sweet adventures and powerful wisdom!

If you were lucky enough to be in the Disney parks today, which of these experiences would you most likely do in celebration of Pooh Bear:

Ride The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh

Dine with Pooh at the Crystal Palace

Give him a big hug at a meet and greet

17/01/2024

✨☀️🐭🎬 If this photo doesn’t compel you to book a trip to Disneyland over Walt Disney World, how about these five reasons:

Nostalgic Charm: This original park (since 1955) still exudes a cozy, pure hometown feel that simply can’t be replicated

Size and Scale: Significantly smaller and way more manageable, this compact destination makes the magic feel EASY

Unique Attractions: You won’t find Cars Land, Avengers Campus, Matterhorn Bobsleds or Pixar Pier in Florida

Smaller=Affordable: You only need a fraction of the time at Disneyland than you do at Walt Disney World to feel fulfilled

West Coast Adventures: Easily combine a visit to Disneyland with a trip exploring other exciting California landmarks and attractions

16/01/2024

🏃‍♀️🐭 Ever wonder what happens at a runDisney event? It’s organized chaos in the best way! The most important thing to know is that the races sell out QUICK, so if you’re thinking you might want to fit one in this year, message me NOW and let’s see what options you may have.

As an example of what to expect here’s the typical chain of events for running a 5K:

🌐 Arrive the day before to pick up race bib at ESPN Wide World of Sports. You can shop event merchandise here.

⏰ Get up EARLY and take Disney transportation to be at EPCOT no later than 4:00am for a 5:00am race start

🎉 Race hosts get you pumped up, there are character meets, tons of energy and plenty of portable bathrooms

🏃‍♀️Every group of racers gets a fireworks send off

📸 Stop to meet characters and take sunrise pictures

😃 Smile for the PhotoPass photographers along the route

🏁 Cross the finish line, get your medal and a snack box

🚍 Take Disney transportation back to your resort

15/01/2024

🍔🍩🍻 Why not spend Spring Break in Springfield? Simpsons fans will absolutely flip over visiting their favorite cartoon town come to life. Eat at Krusty Burger, have a Lard Lad donut, grab a drink at Moe’s and so much more! The photo ops are priceless! 📸😄

14/01/2024

😕😥🩵💙 If you’ve ever visited Walt Disney World in the past, you know those post-Disney vacation blues are the real deal. There’s SO much planning and excitement leading up to these magical trips, that it can hit hard once over. Try these ideas to turn your frown upside down:

Make photo scrapbooks with your vacation pictures

Make copycat recipes from your favorite dishes or snacks

Play Disney-themed board or card games

Have Disney movie nights

Watch park walk-through and ride videos on YouTube

And my personal favorite, PLAN THE NEXT TRIP! 💫✈️🚢🏰

🎨🍲🎉Today kicks off the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts! My FAVORITE WDW festival! This is SUCH a fun festival and it has hands down the most creative offerings at the Food Studios. Fried mozzarella served on a palette of sauces?! Are you kidding me? But that’s just one of many menu masterpieces you are going to want, trust me.

📌PRO TIP: get yourself one of these wristband gift cards and load it up with your set budget. It’s way too easy to overspend at this festival - you’ll want it all!

12/01/2024

🤔📍🏨 Have you ever considered staying off property at a Disneyland Good Neighbor Hotel? If not, you REALLY SHOULD! 🤑 The savings can be incredible, many are even closer than the three Disney owned on-property hotels (look at all of those blue dots on the map) and some even come with FREE breakfast! For those hotels located a little further away than you might like (though the price might be right), there is always the shuttle or ride share. 🚌🚗

10/01/2024

✈️🚗 Even if flying the family to Walt Disney World is in the budget, you may want to drive instead. There’s a good argument for having your own vehicle on property and here are three reasons to support it:

⏱️ SAVE TIME: Get to theme parks, Disney Springs, other resort hotels, miniature golf, and more without having to wait in line for Disney transportation and endure lengthy transfers. (But take Disney transportation to Magic Kingdom!)

🤑 SAVE MONEY: Easily visit other Orlando area attractions, off-property restaurants, and discount shopping locations without having to pay for Uber, Lyft, taxi or other outside transportation.

🧳🧳OVER PACK: Feel free to bring it ALL when you drive! No weight limitations to worry about, extra bag fees to budget for or the need to choose which shoes make the cut because chances are, there's room in the car!

🍽️ 📚Time to brush up on your Disney Dining Plan vocabulary because it’s BACK TODAY! 🎉 Both of the plan options include a snack credit for each night of your stay. 🍿🥨🍦🥤Now to some, a snack might mean popcorn, a pretzel, an ice cream bar or drink. But to seasoned pros, a snack means LIGHT MEAL! Check out some of these breakfast items that you can get for a snack credit: Sausage, Egg & Cheese Biscuit, Banana Bread, Coffee Cake, Mickey Waffle, Beignets or even a yogurt parfait to name a few.
