🤩🤩Who had a sticker collection as a kid? Binders filled with everything from puffy stickers to googly eyes, and of course, the holy grail: scratch-and-sniff stickers. If you’ve carried that sticker love into adulthood—or have little ones who are sticker fanatics—Disney offers plenty of ways to indulge in sticker fun, both FREE and for purchase.

Free Fun:
▪️At The Seas with Nemo & Friends, the Dory’s Friends Scavenger Hunt lets you search for sea creatures throughout the SeaBase and comes with stickers.
▪️Many Disney Cast Members carry fun character stickers to share, especially in places like Guest Services, park entrances, gift shops and Disney Vacation Club kiosks.
▪️Explore EPCOT’s World Showcase and visit the Kidcot Fun Stops to collect stickers, decorate, and create mini masterpieces inspired by each pavilion.
▪️Head over to Magic Kingdom for the sweet scented Smellephants on Parade at Storybook Circus

Plus, during EPCOT festivals like Flower & Garden Festival or Festival of the Arts, scavenger hunt maps (around $9.99) let you track down hidden characters or themed art. Finish the hunt, collect stickers, and score a fun souvenir prize!

My kids love collecting stickers for their water bottles. It is neat to look back and see all the ones they get from different places we have visited📍

How about you? Were (are) stickers your thing? Do you save them in a drawer or deck out your notebooks, binders and cups?

Happy National Pizza Week! 🍕🍕Let’s talk about this ultimate crowd-pleaser. It’s quick, inexpensive, and always hits the spot—especially when you’re in the middle of a fun-filled day at Universal Studios. Before the hunger panic sets in, pop into Louie’s Italian Restaurant. It’s the perfect place to grab a quick slice (or a whole pie!) that everyone in your crew will love and it won’t break the bank.

This is Universal Studios, so stepping into Louie’s feels like walking onto the set of a classic mob movie. With its vintage decor and cozy atmosphere, it’s a nice little escape from the hustle and bustle of the park. By the way, there’s more than just pizza on the menu here. You can get Italian classics like chicken parm, meatball subs, salads and more. Gluten free pasta is available too!

Your turn to share...about how often do you have pizza and what’s your favorite topping? Or is plain cheese your go-to?

& friends are BACK! After Shrek 4-D closed back in 2022, fans wondered what was next for our swamp-loving ogre. Now, he’s returned in a BIG way with immersive experiences and interactions in Universal Orlando’s DreamWorks Land! Here are just a few things to look forward to:
▪️Shrek’s Swamp- A play area where little ogres can get the wiggles out and even splash around! No worries, there are walk in drying machines nearby!
▪️Shrek’s Swamp Meet-Get your photo taken with the big green guy himself, Princess Fiona and Donkey. At least when they aren’t busy making waffles.
▪️Swamp Snacks-Treats and snacks fit for an ogre...including a Shrekzel, a Shrek-shaped pretzel!

The Shrek meet and greet was the highlight of my trip to DreamWorks Land, Donkey is hilarious!

It’s been a minute since there was a new Shrek movie, so be sure you watch it before your visit to brush up on the story and characters to make the absolute most of your time in this fun and interactive new land. In fact, I have the Ultimate Universal Watch List that I send to all of my visiting guests so they can plan family movies nights leading up to their vacation. Be my guest and I’ll send it to you too! email me when you’re ready to get your trip on the books!

You know what’s something fun and totally different to do on a non-park day at Walt Disney World? 🎈🎉The Aerophile hand-painted helium balloon at Disney Springs!
📍From 400 feet above Disney Springs (don’t worry, you’re tethered and it’s smooth sailing), you’ll get breathtaking panoramic views of Walt Disney World. See if you can spot the theme park landmarks or just soak in the experience. Talk about an Instagram worthy moment!

🤩At around $25-$30 per person, this won’t break the bank either. Whether you’re a couple looking for something romantic or a family looking to create a core memory for the kids, a trip on Aerophile just might be what you’re looking for.

What about you? Sound fun or would you rather drop that money at the Ganachery? If you’ve done it before, what did you think? Talk to me!

Okay, hear me out📢 If you’ve ever watched a runDisney weekend kick off and thought, “That looks so fun, but I’m not a runner so...”—I’m here to tell you, you don’t have to be! Just like we learned in Ratatouille, “Anyone can cook,” the same is true for runDisney events: Anyone can run! And by “run,” I also mean walk, jog, stroll, or do whatever pace feels right for YOU in the shorter events🏃‍♀️🏃

Here’s why you should definitely sign up for a 5k at least once:
▪The vibes are dreamy! Imagine Disney music, character meet and greets, and cheering crowds encouraging you every step of the way. It’s not about speed—it’s about having a great time!
▪Whether you cross the finish line after 3.1 miles or 26.2, that shiny runDisney medal is waiting for you. And trust me—it’s worth it!
▪At the risk of repeating myself, it’s for EVERYONE. MANY participants walk the 5K and even the 10K. You don’t need to be a pro athlete!

What’s holding you back from doing a runDisney event? Can I help answer some questions for you? Drop them in the comments or email me!

📆On January 7th, 2008, Disney’s MGM Studios officially became Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and wow—what a transformation this park has undergone! From celebrating the golden age of Hollywood to becoming the epicenter of immersive lands like Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge and Toy Story Land, Hollywood Studios continues to evolve 🎢🚀

But the changes aren’t stopping anytime soon. Here’s a sneak peek at what’s coming next:
▪Unfairly Ever After-a new Villains show
▪The Little Mermaid-A Musical Adventure show
▪Monsters, Inc. Land
▪Muppets take over Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster
▪Muppets 3-D Vision is closing permanently

🎥What do YOU think about Hollywood Studios’ evolution? Are you a fan of its Hollywood glam past, or are you happy with the changes? Let’s chat in the comments about what you’re most excited for in this ever-evolving park! And...do you think it will have yet another name change??

Chances are no matter where you call home (unless it’s Hawaii) winter has set in and it’s not even that fun anymore without Christmas lights. This is the perfect time to say, “Aloha” to Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa! January in Oahu is “cooler,” and by cooler I mean between 70-80 degrees (ahhhhh). I’d like to add “get to Aulani” to my New Years Resolution list and kiss this winter goodbye. I’ll gladly trade my scarf for a lei and my hot cocoa for a piña colada! Aulani is more affordable than you may think, and Disney is often offering great promo rates. I’d love to help you get to this piece of Disney paradise. What would be your first order of business when visiting Aulani?☀️🌊🐚

🏝Unleash your inner Moana, the ocean is calling you and it’s saying, “go to Aulannnnni!” Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa has something for everyone from authentic Hawaiian culture to those precious Disney touches that we have come to rely on when we think of our happiest places. Hawaii is so often a destination we refer to as a “bucket list” kind of trip. With Aulani, you don’t want to wait. What are your burning questions about visiting Aulani and/or Hawaii? I’d love to help make it feel less like a “bucket list” and more like a “NOW list” kind of trip!

🏰Disney park days are LONG, and let’s face it, many times they require stuff...LOTS of stuff. What five essentials do you ALWAYS have to have packed inside your Disney park bag when you are spending a day at the parks? (Bonus points if you post a picture of your go-to bag in the comments!)

To bag or not to bag, THAT is the question! While I can’t seem to pare down to less than an oversized f***y pack kind of bag (and it took YEARS to get there), I have heard rumors of these unicorn guests who visit the parks with NO bags! Talk to me about your bag choice! How big do you go? How stuffed is it? Who has to carry it? Or if you are one of these master park goers that can just walk through security without a bag in sight, who are you and what is your secret?

Some essentials I always pack is a portable charger, a camera light for night photos, ponchos, snacks, and a water bottle or 5 🤣 Since we are still in our stroller era for the parks, we bring extra water for the day!

Cruising is really THE perfect vacation. You unpack once while still managing to see multiple destinations. Food is everywhere you look, and each dish is better than the last. The ice cream is unlimited. There is something to do around every corner for every age! What is your favorite part of sailing the high seas with Disney Cruise Line? If you’ve never cruised, what have you always wanted to know but have been afraid to ask? (No plank walking here; all questions are welcome!)

My ideal cruise day starts with a latte (with the cute foam character art on top) while looking out over the ocean while on my balcony. (You could even buy one of those plush robes so you feel REALLY relaxed!) After a fabulous breakfast of Mickey churro waffles, I’m heading to Senses Spa for a massage. Then comes made to order tacos with an ocean view and a ride on the AquaMouse. I’m going to win every round of Disney trivia, kill it at karaoke, buy one of those cute plushie towel animals and have dinner with Anna, Elsa and Olaf in Arendelle. Let’s be dreamers together and tell me all about your dreamiest day at sea with Disney Cruise Line?

Whether you’re on the free Disney Dining Plan that was just released or paying out of pocket, it is hard to beat the way digging in at a Walt Disney World buffet gives you the biggest bang for your buck! Wear your stretchy pants and make as many laps as you want. Camp out, hug on some characters and eat your faces off! What is your favorite buffet restaurant in Walt Disney World?

When planning where to eat while enjoying your Walt Disney World vacation, do you prefer buffet style restaurants, a traditional sit down restaurant or a mixture of both? Buffets are a great way to chow down on loads of food while rubbing elbows with some beloved characters, but they may not be everyone’s cup of ‘Ohana POG juice. What’s your preferred table service meal style?

Have you SEEN airline baggage fees lately?! With more airlines charging for checking luggage (and increasing the prices of doing so), there’s more reason than ever to consider going to just carry on when flying. But HOW do you go from packing the whole house to one carry on and one personal item? Here are some pro-tips:
▪Pack neutral colored layering items and swap them around in different combinations. A couple leggings, a cardigan, some lightweight shirts that can be layered, and voilà...you’ve got several combos that will get you through a few days.
▪Stock up on those mini toiletries or use what is available at your hotels. You won’t likely need an entire bottle of anything.
▪Do you really need a sweatshirt, fleece, AND jacket? Choose the most versatile one and pack it.
▪Find a good travel backpack and stuff that bad boy! The compartments are great for keeping everything organized like cords, snacks, and other items that can easily get lost in a backpack.
▪Lots of people swear by packing cubes. Splurge on the compression cubes, roll your items, and see how much more you can get in those mini suitcases.

What other tips do you have for packing light? Or are you in the “pfff, charge those extra bags to my card, I need ALL of my stuff” camp?

It probably feels weird talking about water parks when most of us are wearing so many layers we can’t put our arms fully down at our sides, but it’s actually THE PERFECT TIME to have this chat.
▪First, beginning tomorrow at Walt Disney World, if you’re staying at an on-property resort, FREE admission at one of their water parks on your check-in day is included! They typically only have one water park open during the winter, but are both incredibly fun.
▪Secondly, no matter if you’re at Disney’s Blizzard Beach, Typhoon Lagoon or over at Universal’s Volcano Bay (which just won a Travvy Award for Best Water Park), the water is heated, the crowds are typically smaller which also means the lines can be shorter. Win-win-win!

A free perk is definitely hard to pass up-even when the temps are down. Will you be taking advantage of Disney’s Free Water Park Admission on check-in day this year? Or if you have your eye on Universal, will you see what all the hype is about at Volcano Bay?

Free dining is coming to Walt Disney World!! Contact me to book on January 2nd! Already have a reservation booked? I’ll be trying to apply this to all reservations previously booked!

There’s a lot of excitement on the horizon for 2025 at our favorite destinations that may sway your decision about where to vacation in the new year. Here are some highlights:
▪️Walt Disney World is getting a new nighttime parade and Pirates of the Caribbean themed tavern at Magic Kingdom!
▪️Disneyland is celebrating its 70th Anniversary and Walt Disney is getting his own animatronic show!
▪️Disney Cruise Line has another two ships setting sail: The Disney Adventure and Disney Destiny. That makes 8 ships!
▪️Universal Orlando’s Epic Universe opens in May and promises to be unforgettable for all ages!

I would love to get to Disneyland for the Paint the Night parade. It looks so magical!

When I say this barely scratches the surfaces of all the up and comings, it’s an understatement. So, if your interest is piqued by any of this, message me and let’s really dive deep into the research phase together!

Unpopular opinion warning...you don’t NEED to buy Lightning Lane access. Especially as a first time or first time in a long time visitor. You may not realize that on many of the attractions, you’ll bypass the amazing ride queue when you enter the Lightning Lane. That’s SUCH a shame. You miss SO MUCH. Some queues you don’t want to miss are:
▪️Avatar: Flight of Passage
▪️Toy Story Mania
▪️Peter Pan’s Flight
▪️The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
▪️Millenium Falcon: Smugglers Run

A big part of what makes Disney so alluring and downright addicting, is the attention to detail. The masterful way they “surprise and delight” guests around every turn. A PRIME example of that are the ride queues. I get it though, nobody wants to wait in line TOO long. That’s where working with a travel professional comes in. Sound advice, the best strategies and masterful preparedness. I’m on your team and don’t want you spending more to experience less, so let’s talk before you book that trip!

28/12/2024

There’s no better way to celebrate the creator of our favorite Marvel heroes than by spotting him in action! If you’re swinging through Universal Orlando, keep an eye out—Stan Lee makes some sneaky, epic cameos in The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man ride. From driving a truck to making a heroic rescue, he’s in there four times for you to find!

He’s also made 22 cameos in Marvel movies with his final appearance in Avengers: Endgame. Have you ever looked for Stan in the ride or in Marvel movies?

27/12/2024

Complete this sentence: If it was announced that the "it's a small world" attraction was closing, my first reaction would be________.

Honestly I would be sad. It's a small world during Christmas (at Disneyland) is one of my favorites!

Now that we're closing in on the end of the year, how about instead of talking about resolutions for 2025, we share what we really loved about 2024! Tell us one good thing that happened for you this year!

I really loved the traveling we did and I am excited for all the fun places 2025 will take us✈️
