Had to make a reel about my favorite event at Walt Disney World! It was hard to keep it under 1 minute 😭
🎃👻Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party!👻🎃
You NEED a SPECIAL ticket for this after hours event, and they sell out quick! Lots of first timers miss this because they don't realize you need a separate special ticket for it!
Touring Plan Suggestions:
The party is officially from 7 pm til midnight. But you can get into MK as early as 4 pm with this ticket. There will be a large line forming before 4 pm. I just showed up at 5 and walked right in!
4-6:30 PM: do some low wait attractions and grab food
6:30 PM: line up for your first character meet (unless you want a very popular one like Jack and Sally, in which case you need to go there at like 4 pm)
7 PM: meet your first character
Get magic shots, buy special popcorn buckets, hit a treat trail
Get a spot for the Boo to You Parade in Frontierland about 30 minutes early (the 1st parade is usually 8:15pm)
Treat trails, ride rides
10 PM: fireworks show (get a spot 20 min early)
Ride rides, magic shots, treat trails
11:15 PM: the 2nd Boo to You Parade in case you missed the first one!
Midnight: see the final Hocus Pocus Show
Then get some magic shots in front of the castle on your way out and shop for merch!
We got back to the hotel around 1:30 AM!
It's a late night so I suggest resting before the party!
SAVE THIS REEL, so you already have your itinerary :)
NOTE: this reflects the 2024 party offerings and showtimes, double check the exact show times when you go!!!

One of my FAV things about the Grand Floridian is its location! It's SO close to Magic Kingdom, which is where families with little kids will be spending most of their time at Disney! And from the Grand Floridian, you have 3 ways to get to Magic Kingdom!
🚅Monorail - 3 minutes
🚶♀️Walking - 15 minutes (brisk walk)
🛥Boat ride - 22 min (because we had to stop at the Polynesian to pick up guests)

✨️How to purchase Lightning Lane Multipass and Lightning Lane Single Pass at Disney World!✨️
I'm getting ready to go to Disney World, and I wanted to show you how easy it is to make lightning lane reservations with the new system! ❤️ Here is my example for Epcot! Hope it helps 🙏
Lightning Lane (LL) is just a new name for the old “fast pass” line. When you have a Lightning Lane (LL) for a ride, you enter the Lightning Lane line instead of the standby line for a ride.
You can purchase Lightning Lanes for your stay through the app 7 days prior to resort check in if you’re staying at a Disney Resort (or 3 days prior if you're a non-resort guest). Therefore, Disney resort guests will have first pick!
Lightning Lane Multipass (LLMP) - is an optional paid skip the line service that allows you to make reservations (LL's) for 3 attractions (1 from tier 1 and 2 from tier 2) before your trip. Once you're at the park and scan into your first Lightning Lane reservation, you can make another based on availability that day.
Lightning Lane Single Pass (LLSP) - is an optional paid LL for the most popular rides at each park (that are NOT included as an option in LLMP). These rides include:
⚡️Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind at Epcot
⚡️Rise of the Resistance at Hollywood Studios
⚡️Flight of Passage at Animal Kingdom
⚡️Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and TRON at Magic Kingdom
In my example, I wanted to get BOTH LLMP and LLSP. For LLMP, I selected Remy’s, Spaceship Earth, and Figment. My first LL is Spaceship Earth at 930 AM. Once I scan into the LL line for Spaceship Earth, I can go into the app and make ANOTHER LL (based on availability at that time). Likely, I would try to get a tier 1 attraction like Frozen or Soarin. Each time you scan into a LL line, you can pick another LL (based on availability for the day).
For each day of your visit, you can choose to buy both LLMP and LLSP, or you can just buy one or the other, or you can buy ne

🌋One of the little known tips for Volcano Bay is that you can go INSIDE the Volcano!🌋
It is tricky to find the paths that lead inside! You can find them on the left and right sides of the volcano!
It's definitely worth adding this stop to your Volcano Bay day!
Plus, it can work as a shortcut when walking from one side of the park to the other!

✔️T-shirt size

3. Get ready to register on your device at least 10 minutes prior to registration time (usually 10 am EST).

You can find this meet and greet just inside the entrance to DreamWorks Land in Universal Studios! There are certain show times and it does get a decent line! So you do want to check for the times in the app and get in line ahead of time! We got in line 10 minutes early and the line already formed! But it was well worth it! Donkey is hilarious 😆😅
✨️You can find the show times in the Universal Orlando app under "Shrek's Swamp Meet"✨️
Remember you can ❤️ this activity in the app and it will send you a push pin notification when it's close to time ⏲️ PS I love this feature of the app!

✨️LOCKERS✨️
A lot of the rides at Universal require you to put your belongings in a locker prior to riding!
This is completely different from Disney where you can take your bags on all rides (except Tron). So this took a little getting used to!
👉Every ride that you can't take your bags on will have a locker area near the entrance of the ride queue.
👉You will go to a locker area that has a green light, which indicates that there are available lockers in that section. You will then scan your park ticket and a locker will automatically pop open. You will place your bag in the locker and shut it. Keep your ticket with you because after getting off the ride, you will need to scan your ticket again at the same station for it to open!
👉Each person in your party with a ticket can get a locker.
✨️The small lockers are free to use during the duration of your ride✨️
However, there are larger lockers for a cost for each use.
The small lockers are short but deep (approximately 5 inches tall, 12 inches wide, and 17 inches deep)! You can fit a regular school backpack in there as long as it's not stuffed full, so be sure not to pack too much. Also, if you have a drink/water bottle with you, you will have to lay it flat on its side to fit in there. Make sure it's a bottle that doesn't leak or you need to dump out the liquids prior to placing it in the locker. I noticed every locker area had a liquid dumping station for this purpose!
Rides that you'll need to use the lockers for:
Universal Studios:
🎟Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit
🎟MEN IN BLACK Alien Attack
🎟Revenge of the Mummy
🎟Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts
Islands of Adventure:
🎟Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey
🎟Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure
🎟The Incredible Hulk Coaster
🎟Jurassic World VelociCoaster
