Magical Enchanted Vacations by Nicole

Disney is rolling out a new “skip the line” option beginning October 30th. The Lightning Lane Premier Pass will let guests bypass the standard queue for every attraction one time without the need to schedule a return time. Initially this will be a very limited rollout and will only be available for guests staying at a Deluxe Disney Resort. The cost will vary by date and park, ranging in price from $129-$449 per person, per day!

When I began hearing rumors a couple months ago about the possibility of a pass like this, my initial response was “Take ALL my money - this sounds amazing!!!” But I have to admit - the pricing has me a little 😳

So what do we think? Is this something you’d think about adding to your Disney vacation? And more importantly, do you think it’s something I can convince my husband we need to buy on our next vacation in the name of “job research”??

Breaking News!! It’s a big day for Disney World announcements!

Beginning July 24th, the current Genie+/Lightning Lane system will be revamped with lots of new changes including pre-selections!

This is a great example of why it’s so important to book your Disney vacation through an authorized Travel Agent. My clients can sit back and relax while I learn all the ins and outs of this new system, instead of figuring it out on their own. They can rest assured that they’ll have all the information needed prior to their vacation to make sure they have a truly magical time!

I’ve had lots of new follows lately, so today seemed like the perfect day to share my story of why I decided to become a travel agent and focus on helping people plan perfect Disney World Vacations for their families.

This picture is from way down memory lane when these two babies had no idea what their futures held. They didn’t know that they would bring two beautiful baby girls into the world. They didn’t know that their time together would be cut so drastically short. They just knew they wanted to spend the day at Disney World. So they did.

When our oldest was 2 and our youngest was just 7 weeks old, we received the devastating news that Bill had gastric cancer. We vowed then that as soon as he was better we would take the girls to Disney World to celebrate. While he was in remission for a bit, because of his surgery and treatments he never felt good enough that we thought it was the right time to go, so we waited. In February, 2009 we received the news that his cancer had returned and he’d be starting treatments again. We knew then that he was feeling the best he would, so with his oncologist’s blessing, and the help of a great travel agent, we planned a last minute Disney World vacation before his treatment began. We arrived in Disney World on a Tuesday night and were excited to take our princesses to Magic Kingdom the next day to see Peter Pan (Lacey’s favorite) and the Princesses (Kayla’s favorites). However, this dream didn’t happen, as Bill passed away suddenly in our hotel room on Wednesday morning.

Bill loved Disney, and I vowed to myself that I would make sure that our girls had more than enough wonderful Disney World memories so they could still have that love too. Thankfully, when God blessed us by bringing Nick into our lives, he wholeheartedly jumped in to make sure this was a vow to the girls I could keep. He works endlessly hard so that we can take the kids to Disney World every year and help them make amazing memories.

I admittedly don’t remember all the details that went into getting the girls and I back home to Kentucky that day, but I know without the help of my family and friends working with our travel agent it would have been much more difficult.

Disney World, and the memories we’ve made there, will always be an important part of my family’s lives. And it’s this reason that I love helping other families plan their Disney vacations. Getting to be a part of helping other families make their own memories brings me true joy.

Today, on the anniversary of Bill’s death, I’ll remember the life we shared and I’ll be thankful for every minute we had. But I’ll also spend time being thankful for the life I’m blessed with now and the memories that I know will still be made, in Disney World and beyond.

Where’s all my early planners?! Disney World released packages early this year and I’m now able to book your vacation dates through October 2025!

They’ve also added a huge perk for Disney Resort guests that answers the question of “what should I do on my arrival day?” You should visit the water park - FOR FREE!!

Disney Resort hotel guests arriving in 2025 can enjoy admission to a Disney water park!

This is the announcement my kids have been waiting on for a couple of years now - 1900 Park Fare at the Grand Floridian Resort is finally reopening on April 10th. Reservations will be open to book beginning March 5th!

There will also be a new lineup of characters joining the fun - Aladdin, Cinderella, Mirabel and Tiana! In the past there were different characters for breakfast and dinner so I’m holding out hope that Pooh Bear will still make an appearance at breakfast.

Andrew’s favorite part of 1900 Park Fare is that they serve gummy bears for breakfast! Fingers crossed that they’ll still be there!

Today we flash back to my absolute FAVORITE event at Disney World - Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. This special event is held at Magic Kingdom on select nights in November and December. With free Cheryl’s cookies, low crowds, “snow” on Main Street, special shows and an amazing parade it is the absolute BEST time! Lacey and Andrew loved that wearing your pajamas is perfectly normal for this party! Add this one to your Disney bucket list for sure!!

My vacation down Disney Memory Lane takes us to Animal Kingdom today! You may hear that this is a half-day park, or “just a zoo”. Don’t believe it! There is so much to see and do. We started our day making a rope drop mad rush to Flights of Passage, which is one of the most amazing rides that really can’t even be described accurately. After that we had breakfast at Tusker House with Safari Mickey and his friends. This is one of the best breakfasts in all of Disney World and the character interaction is fantastic. Make sure you don’t miss the Lion King show. These acrobats and performers are beyond impressive! Pro tip - if you visit in the winter months you’ll be able to see Pandora lit up at night by bioluminescent plants. It’s an amazing sight to see!

If you’ve heard in the past that EPCOT is boring and there’s nothing for kids, I recommend giving it another shot! With the addition of Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and Guardians of the Galaxy, there are more rides than ever to fill your day! Guardians of the Galaxy is hands down the coolest ride I’ve ever been on at Disney!! If you’ve had the opportunity to ride it yet I’d love to hear what you thought. We started our day at ‘Ohana breakfast which is always a family favorite. Their pineapple coconut bread is absolutely amazing!

Our flashback Disney World visit takes us to Hollywood Studios today where we started the day as toys in Andy’s backyard at ToyStory Land. Chip and Dale will always be Andrew’s favorite characters so a surprise sighting led to a big smile on his face! As the kids have gotten older Hollywood Studios has become their favorite park, even passing Magic Kingdom! I think Hollywood Studios is the most important park to have a plan for since you’re working around times for multiple shows, but that’s definitely something I can help you navigate! Definitely don’t miss the Frozen Sing-a-long! The show is hilarious for kids and parents!!
