✈️ You are free to move about the cabin! Travel is wide open and people are HERE for it—ready to explore and ready to add some new destinations to their scrapbooks. 📸

However, traveling outside of your comfort zone can be a bit intimidating, especially international travel. 😬 Why not look to your trusted ol’ pal in Disney to take the lead on your next exciting adventure?

✴️ Adventures by Disney takes all the guesswork out, takes all the fear of the unknown away, and gives you a white glove level of service 🤝 while all you have to worry about is having a battery back-up for your cell since you’ll be taking ALL the pictures. 🔋📷

If a curated, safe, comfortable tour of some incredible locations sounds like a winner to you 🏆 I’d love to help you plan an AbD trip you will never stop talking about.

Which destination is on your wish list? 🌍

🍻 Cheers to National Beer Day! It’s hard to think of a frothy hops-laden brew and not think of our pal Homer Simpson.

Springfield, over in Universal Studios, is so perfect for any Simpsons fan. You can grab a bite to eat at Moe’s 🍔, take your picture with Barney 📸, have a Lard Lad donut bigger than your head 🍩, quench your thirst with an authentic Duff beer 🍺, and help the Simpsons defeat Sideshow Bob once and for all. (Although probably not—that guy is a slippery fella! 😅)

🪇🎉 Gran Fiesta Tour is back—but did anything actually change? Here’s what you need to know before you set sail with Donald Duck, José Carioca and Panchito Pistoles

If you love the Three Caballeros, then you’ll be happy to know the story and theme are firmly intact. 🥰 The refurb was mainly mechanical-the sound and visuals are now crisp and vibrant! If you listen closely, you’ll even be able to hear a 🐦 bird chirping in the ride queue now. You have to love the details!

Bedtime just got way more magical! ✨ These charming Little Golden Books based on Disney attractions are the perfect way to build excitement before a first visit! 📚💫

From Jungle Cruise 🐘🌴 to It’s a Small World 🌍🎶 (and even the OG Little Man of Disneyland), they’re a sweet way to help little ones get familiar with the magic before your trip—and they fit nicely in an Easter basket! 🧺🐣

(These were spotted at the World of Disney Store at Disney Springs and were about $5 each. 💵)

Oh boy, it’s April Fools Day... 😬 keep your head on a swivel, folks... especially moms of boys. You know they LIVE for this day. 😈

I solemnly swear that I will not throw any fake news your way today or any day. You are safe here, and I will only share what is confirmed news in regards to the Disney and Universal ins and outs. 🚫🧀 No clickbait here... ever!

If you’re looking to blend your love of Disney 🏰 with the charm and romance of France 🇫🇷, there are actually several ways you can. And a passport ✈️ isn’t always required!

At Walt Disney World, stroll through the France pavilion in EPCOT’s World Showcase, where you can snack on crêpes and pastries 🥐, sip wine 🍷, and get a taste of the Parisian life.

Disneyland Paris 🏰✨🇫🇷 offers the ultimate mash-up! With everything feeling familiar, but wonderfully different—and arguably the most impressive castle of all Disney parks—this is likely the experience you’re after.

However, if you want a true deep dive into French culture and history, ✴️ Adventures by Disney’s Paris and Normandy itinerary offers a seamless, safe, and incomparable guided tour through France 🚆🇫🇷.

🖐 Raise your hand if you think everything tastes better when it is Mickey shaped?

Those of you with hands down can see yourselves out 😉

✨🏰🎶✨ Here’s what’s EXTRA SPECIAL about Disneyland—something you won’t even find much of at Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World... it’s the music. Not just the soundtrack playing through speakers, but real, live musical performers bringing the park to life at nearly every turn. 🥰 It’s the kind of warmth, charm, and whimsy that makes Disneyland feel like it’s still got Walt’s fingerprints all over it. Just to name a few:

🥁The Disneyland Band: They somehow turn a theme park into a small-town celebration.
🎷Jambalaya Jazz: Adds a little brass and swing (and often, Tiana) to New Orleans Square!
💈The Dapper Dans: Their sound manages to make a churro taste even better. How?!
🎹The Ragtime Piano Player: Proves eating a corn dog is more fun set to music!
🪗The Pearly Band: Catch them parading near the carousel, playing tunes straight from Mary Poppins!
🏴‍☠️The Bootstrappers: Pirates roaming Adventureland like they just stepped off the Black Pearl!

It’s these little unscripted moments like turning a corner and suddenly being wrapped in a song, that make Disneyland feel different, feel warmer, feel like home. 😍

🎢 Chances are, you’ve heard the EPIC news about Universal’s newest theme park opening in less than two months! 🚀✨ This is HUGE Orlando vacation news, and there is so much buzz surrounding the five new lands that will debut in Epic Universe. 🌎

🐲 How to Train Your Dragon: Isle of Berk – Ride a dragon. A DRAGON!
🍄 Super Nintendo World – Finally, East Coasters get their turn to power up!
🧙‍♂️ A brand-new Wizarding World experience – Yep, more magic awaits!
🌟 Celestial Park – A cosmic, dreamy, totally immersive park within a park.
🧛‍♂️ Dark Universe – A grim world of myth and mystery

🎭 We all have that one friend—the one who casually drops "break a leg" into conversations, belts out 🎤 Broadway show tunes in the car, and collects Playbills. (Ok, it's me. I'm that friend.) 🛳️ Well, let me just say… a Disney Cruise is probably their (or my) dream vacation, why? Broadway-caliber musicals, every night!

🤯Imagine full-scale, jaw-dropping productions, all right there in the Walt Disney Theater on your ship. Shows like:

🥀 Beauty and the Beast
🧜‍♀️ The Little Mermaid
❄️ Frozen
🍳 Tangled
🧞‍♂️ Aladdin
⛵️Disney The Tale of Moana

🚫 Zero ticket stress, no sold-out shows, no fighting for seats, looking for parking, no extra cost. 🥰 Just walk in, sit down, and enjoy a Broadway-level show that’s already included in your cruise fare. It's magical!

ºoº We all love a good pair of Mickey ears (hat or headband)—but let’s be honest, they’re not exactly known for providing shade. ☀️ While they’re adorable in pics and so fun to wear, they won’t do much to keep you cool or covered on a Disney Parks day or a Disney Cruise Line deck. So, what’s your go-to vacation headwear to protect your noggin from the sun?

🧢 Classic Ball Cap
👒 Wide-Brim Sun Hat
🪣 Bucket Hat
🕶️ Sun visor

🍀🛍️ Luckily, if you forget to bring one, Disney has tons of fun hats for sale that make great, long-lasting souvenirs.

💊🍦At Universal Studios, Schwab’s Pharmacy looks like a classic drugstore, but step inside and you’ll find the BEST medicine there is—it’s actually an old-fashioned ice cream parlor straight out of the Golden Age of Hollywood. Find 🥤ice cream floats, 🍌banana splits and more 🍨sweets to cure what ails you!

🎬 Inspired by the real-life Schwab’s Pharmacy on Sunset Boulevard, where big screen hopefuls once dreamed of being discovered, this spot oozes retro charm. From its vintage soda fountain to its classic ⭐️ movie star memorabilia and old time remedies, this isn’t just a place to grab a treat—🕰️ it’s a step back to a simpler time circa the 1930s and 40s.

✨🛳️✨ Disney might be known for making magic for kids, but at night? It’s the grown-ups’ turn. 🍸 Step into any Disney Cruise Line lounge, and you’ll find impeccable theming, top-tier cocktails, and hidden details that make every sip an experience. These aren’t just bars, they’re immersive mini-escapes designed for those who appreciate the art of storytelling as much as a good drink. Just a few examples of the many amazing lounges are:

🔮 The Haunted Mansion Parlor: You’ll find all kinds of spirits in here.
🪐 Hyperspace Lounge: Star Wars fans, this one’s for you.
🎹 Nightingales: This piano bar is perfect for a nightcap.
🏴‍☠️ Keg and Compass: Nautical luxury meets pirate lore.
🥀 The Red Rose Lounge: Refined drinks and fairytale ambiance.
🎷The Bayou: Bourbon and beignets? Yes please!

⭐️🎬⭐️ Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort is the favorite All-Star Resort of many guests. Why, you ask? I just happen to know...

🤠 Fun theming: You’ll see larger than life versions of characters from: Fantasia, 101 Dalmatians, Toy Story, The Mighty Ducks, and The Love Bug. Photo op city!
🧰 Recently remodeled rooms: Hello, queen beds! Lots of bathroom storage, tile floors, and contemporary look.
🍔 Food court: Another way to save money for more souvenirs is with the food courts. Get a large pizza for the family, some pasta meals to share, a quick breakfast of Mickey waffles, or something from the grab and go area. This is what my family did in January when we were "snowed in" at WDW and needed to staunch the proverbial bleeding as we continued to buy meals!
🤑 Affordable: This family of resorts always comes in with the lowest prices on property, but you don’t have to sacrifice being in the Disney bubble.

😃 When was the last time you felt like a kid again? 🙃 Like, really let go and just played? 💦🛝💦 A Disney Cruise is the perfect place to rediscover that joy, and nothing captures it quite like zipping down a waterslide at sea! All Disney cruise ships have them and they’re phenomenally fun! Not all slides are meant for adults, but many are, like:

💦 AquaDuck (Disney Dream & Fantasy) – Twist, turn, and sail over the ocean in this thrilling tube ride.
💦 AquaDunk (Disney Magic)- Fast-paced body slide not meant for the weak at heart! (I've never drummed up the courage for this one)
💦 AquaMouse (Disney Wish & Treasure) – Disney storytelling and a waterslide? It’s a true ATTRACTION!
💦 Twist ‘n’ Spout (Disney Magic & Wonder) – Classic, fun, and perfect for discovering your inner child!

Sure, lounging in a deck chair is great, but there’s magic in PLAY—and who knew that better than Walt Disney?

🥳😂🥳 Happy National Let’s Laugh Day! 🥳😂🥳 Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando Resort both have several attractions that will make you LAUGH. Here are some fan faves:

🔋 Monsters Inc Laugh Floor (Magic Kingdom): Imagine a stand up comedy show but in the monster world. You can even submit jokes that may make the show.
❄️ For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration (Hollywood Studios): The Royal Historians of Arendelle are the real stars of this show (try and prove me wrong), but you’ll also sing along with Anna, Elsa, and Olaf!
🦏 Jungle Cruise (Magic Kingdom): If you love corny Dad jokes, this is YOUR ride!
🤡 The Simpsons Ride (Universal Studios): This never-aging family saves the day from Sideshow Bob in a hilarious way. You’ll feel like an unofficial resident of Springfield by the time you are done.
🏎️ Race Through New York Starring Jimmy Fallon (Universal Studios): It’s silly, yes, but you’ll feel like you stepped right into The Tonight Show studio while waiting in line, and then you’ll go all over the city, under the city, into space, and more.
