EPCOT has so many amazing restaurants to choose from, it could arguably be THE dining hot spot in all of Walt Disney World 🍽️🌎. Of course, you have the exotic tastes all around World Showcase, but tucked away in The Land Pavilion are Mickey and pals, ready to welcome you to a tasty, home-grown family-style, American classics character meal 🍗🍞. Whether you choose breakfast, lunch or dinner, even the pickiest of eaters will be asking for seconds (and maybe even thirds—ask for all you can handle!) 😋 Where is your go-to EPCOT meal? ✨

Tonight is the first Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party of 2024! I get asked all the time by clients traveling during the holidays if they should drop the extra cash on Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party? 🎄 It's a big splurge, and let’s be real—the trip already isn’t exactly easy on the wallet 💸.

But here’s the thing: that cost offers shorter wait times for the best rides 🎢, exclusive shows and parades you won’t see during the day 🎉, free holiday treats and cocoa ☕🍪, and snow falling on Main Street, U.S.A. ❄️. I mean, where else can you get that? Plus, “limited capacity” means lower crowds and not feeling like you're battling for space with every other human on the planet.

➡️ Park hopper or base tickets? It’s one of the top questions that I get from clients. Deciding if the extra cost is worth it can be tough—no one wants to waste money, but time is just as valuable 💸⏰. Disney’s park hopper ticket upgrade gives you more value for both in a few ways:

✨ Dining 🍽️: Finding that your favorite restaurants seem to be in just one or two parks? With a park hopper, you can easily dine at any park at any time.
✨ Flexibility 🌐: Swamped by crowds? A park hopper lets you switch parks if one feels too packed. A leisurely afternoon or evening stroll around World Showcase could be just what you need after a busy Magic Kingdom morning.
✨ Lightning Lanes ⚡🎢: Want to hit top rides in different parks on the same day? With the Lightning Lane Single Pass, you can purchase two per day, and they don’t have to be in the same park.
✨ Maximize time ⏳: If your time is limited, you can ride your must-dos and then bounce to the next park with ease.

🥱 Tired of feeling like you need a military-grade itinerary for your Walt Disney World trip? “OK, we’re waking up at 6 AM, rope dropping this, then riding that, then sprinting across the park for lunch, and squeezing in more rides before dinner.” Sound fun? Or completely exhausting? 😅 If planning is starting to feel like a high-pressure mission, I’ve got some great ideas on how you can make your Disney park touring low stress ✨:

✨ Buy the Lightning Lanes ⚡: It’s an additional cost, but no one wants to get all the way to Walt Disney World and spend precious park time standing in long lines.
✨ Avoid visiting during school breaks 📅 if possible.
✨ Take an afternoon break 😴: Avoid afternoon crowds, high temps, and exhaustion!
✨ Time of day matters ⏰: Not a morning person? Try shutting down the parks instead of rope dropping. Crowds can be lower, and the temps cool down a bit.
✨ Attend an After Hours event 🌙: Yes, it’s an extra cost, but these events are loved for the lower wait times and unique character meet-and-greets.

🗳️It’s Election Day, but let’s take a break from politics here and just have a little fun. 🎉 Here’s the pretend backstory: Captain Mickey and Captain Minnie have decided to retire and Disney Cruise Line is looking for a new captain of the ship. Here are the candidates in the running:

🧡 Goofy
🩵 Donald
💜 Daisy
💙 Stitch
🖤 Captain Hook
♥️ Mr. Smee

Drop your vote in the comments! I volunteer to be Daisy's campaign manager!

Even if you don’t consider Doctor Strange an actual Avenger (it’s a pretty serious debate if you Google it, and personally I don't think he is), you have to admit his powers are pretty awesome. At Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure Park, you can find the time-bending Doctor and other Avenger-adjacent friends hanging around the Ancient Sanctum. While the Doctor Strange: Mysteries of the Mystic Arts show was discontinued over the summer, this area is still incredibly cool to visit. Especially at night!! It’s an epic photo spot 📸! But it does seem like the space is under-utilized right now, and I hope that changes soon!

Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock 🪨, you must have heard that Universal Orlando Resort will be launching a 4th theme park in May, and this one is going to be EPIC (Literally.) 🌟 As guests file in for the new and shiny, I’d like to HIGHLY recommend we get you booked for a pre-Epic opening adventure. Take advantage of lighter crowds while the rest of the world waits for the grand opening! Universal Orlando is a fantastic place to spend the holidays (hello—Grinchmas! 🎄), ring in the New Year 🎊, have an adults-only Valentine’s getaway 💕, or just because Butterbeer is irresistible all year long 🍺. I’d love to hook you up with their dining card promo currently running!

🤫 Pssst...the best unkept secret in Orlando is that Universal Orlando Resort is the place to be! You don’t need to be a tech wiz to navigate the parks 🤓. They have great, actual money-saving promotions just about ALL the time 💸. There are attractions, characters, and food that appeal to ALL ages 🎢🍕. So what’s been keeping you from trying Universal?

I'm sorry to say that, unlike Walt Disney World, I did not get my Christmas decorations up this weekend. However - I'm in the process of cleaning up fall and plan on starting later this week! In the meantime, I'll be enjoying pictures of the parks decor for inspiration!

✈️🌺🥥🌴 Traveling somewhere far from home and unknown can be intimidating. The beauty of Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa is that it brings the familiarity, comfort, and trust you have with Disney properties to the beautiful shores of Oahu. 🏝️ If you’re going to travel way outside of your comfort (and time) zone, why not do it with your friends from Disney? Is Aulani somewhere you’d love to visit? I’d love to help! 😊

What do you think? Are you all onboard to design your own, or do you prefer to leave that to the experts?

More memories, less stuff has become my motto for Christmas over the past few years. Christmas at Universal Orlando Resort is festive, fun, and packed with all the holiday feels. 🎁 From the Macy’s parade, performances by Manheim Steamroller, Christmas tree scavenger hunts 🎄, Earl the Squirrel 🐿️, holidays at Hogwarts 🧙‍♂️, and the main attraction, THE Grinch, it will be a holiday for the memory books! When you stay at a Signature Collection hotel with Express Pass Unlimited and zoom through the lines like holiday royalty 👑, it won’t even feel crowded. Do you think your crew would be up for a holiday trip this year for Christmas? 🎅🎄

🔍 🔔🇺🇸Do you know about these HIDDEN SECRETS of Liberty Square? If you love finding those little-known details that make the parks even more magical, Liberty Square in Magic Kingdom is packed with them. ✨ Here are a few gems you’ll definitely want to make sure you take notice of:

👀 If you’re wandering around Liberty Square after dark, keep an eye on the windows of Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe! You just might catch a glimpse of Ichabod Crane from The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, silhouetted in the window. It’s a spooky nod to the Headless Horseman’s story! 🎃

🐭 Peek up at the round window on the front of Liberty Tree Tavern and you’ll see Amos Mouse from “Ben and Me,” a classic Disney short about a mouse who helps Benjamin Franklin with his inventions.

🩵 Look for the heart-shaped “Est.” sign posted on the Christmas Shoppe building—it reads “Kepple,” a tribute to Walt Disney’s grandfather, Kepple Elias Disney!

💡 Pro Tip: If you are stuck with a crazy late flight on your trip home from Orlando, check out the day rates at the Hyatt Regency Orlando Airport Hotel. 🏨 For a nominal fee, you can enjoy their pools 🏊‍♀️, take a nap 💤, and just relax while you wait for your time to head back to adulting. And of course, there is still some good shopping! Spots do book up quickly, so let’s check on that for you as soon as your flights are booked! Who has taken advantage of this cool and convenient hotel offering?

✨ Tinker Bell fans, this one’s for you! Remember how magical it was to meet Tinker Bell at Magic Kingdom? When they removed her meet and greet, many hearts sank. 💔 But guess what? There’s still a place where the magic of Pixie Dust is alive and well—and we call it Disneyland!

🧚🏻Pixie Hollow, an enchanting fairy garden where you can meet Tinker Bell herself, still exists there! No more waving from a parade float. At Pixie Hollow, little ones (or let’s be honest, all of us) can meet Tinker Bell face-to-face! Shrink down to the size of a fairy as you walk through Tink’s garden, surrounded by giant flowers and tiny homes.

🚢 Is it the journey or the destination? We hear this expression a lot, but it really is a hard question to answer when it comes to cruising. Disney Cruise Line takes the cake with both the magical experience ✨ and the amazing ports of call. With itineraries like the Caribbean, Alaska, the Mediterranean, and more, there is a sailing for all interests. 🌍 But honestly, I don't care where my cruise is going, because I am all about that ship life:

🎭 Broadway-style shows
🍽️ Exciting dining experiences
🎉 Characters galore
🎨 An abundance of onboard activities for all ages
⭐ Disney level of service

Each ship is a floating destination filled with all the things you love about Disney!

🌴✨ As if a Disney Cruise isn’t already a fantasy come to life, imagine landing on Lighthouse Point at Lookout Cay and being whisked away to your very own private family cabana at Mabrika Cove. Your own cozy, shaded, snack-stocked haven with food and drink just a few tablet taps away, and your Disney ship in perfect view. 🚢 Sounds dreamy, right? 😍

Tonight, Walt Disney World brought back the iconic Happily Ever After fireworks show for a special cast event. I had just gotten back to my room from a night at Hollywood Studios when I heard some booms outside… ten seconds later I knew what I was seeing. We could faintly hear the music from the park, but I think the only sounds you hear on this video are me crying and getting annoyed at my youngest son. 😂 In any case, enjoy the finale! Only a few more weeks until this superior fireworks show is BACK and we can all pretend like Enchantment didn’t actually happen. 😉

The stepsisters absolutely crack me up! You know, they aren’t wrong….
