It’s Lightning McQueen Day! 9.5
🚘 Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy is a high-octane, first-of-its-kind show that’ll put you in the middle of the Disney and Pixar Cars universe located in Hollywood Studios.
To kick things off, Lightning demonstrates what he’s learned over the years by using his brand-new, state-of-the-art racing simulator and its wraparound screen. Of course, as this seasoned racer has discovered throughout his career, things don’t always go according to plan, and he has to think fast to get back on course. With Tow Mater, Cruz Ramirez and the gang from Radiator Springs rooting him on, Lightning gears up for the challenge.
To see Lightning McQueen take his last lap at the Racing Academy, speed on over to Hollywood Studios before October 7th. An all-new live production starring your favorite Disney Villains – debuting summer 2025!
Your legend begins aboard the Disney Destiny! ✨ Itineraries are available now, and bookings open September 12th for first-time sailors (or as early as September 6th for Castaway Club members!) 🥳

🌲Imagine Living in a Tree… at Disneyland Park! Visit the Adventureland Treehouse, where a new family has moved in and created an oasis among the trees! While they’re off seeking a new adventure, they’ve invited you to explore each of the fascinating rooms they designed. Everything is fashioned from found objects, natural resources—and pure ingenuity! Follow the wood rope stairways up, up, up into the boughs. Discover the mother’s music den, the young sons’ nature room and the teenage daughter’s astronomy loft. Adjacent to the stairway is the home’s iconic waterwheel, which generates the energy needed to power the family’s gadgets and inventions. Don’t forget to check out the bottom floor, which showcases the kitchen and dining room. Stop by the father’s art studio and browse the hand-drawn sketches and paintings of each of the rooms, reflecting the family’s affinity for exploring the unknown. The Reimagining of a Classic Attraction: Paying tribute to the original treehouse that Walt Disney and his Imagineers built in 1962, the reimagined Adventureland Treehouse at Disneyland Park is brimming with magic, enchantment and wonder.

Good morning from a nearly empty Avengers Campus at DCA! This was during Early Entry for Disney hotel guests this morning. Onsite guests are able to enter the park 30 min before guests not staying onsite. This was enough time to ride 2 of the most popular attractions before the park was officially open and get in line for a third! I was also able to start booking Genie+ Lightning Lanes as soon as I scanned in to the park so I had a 4th ride lined up too! I’ve been testing the Be Our Guest Rope Drop strategy that we send all of our clients who book trips to Disneyland with us along with our Early Entry park tips which have helped me MAXIMIZE my time this morning. If your goal is to get the most out of your park day, don’t walk into the park without a plan and take advantage of all perks for onsite guest!!

A look at the INCREDIBLE room at Disney’s Contemporary Resort! The Contemporary opened right along side the Magic Kingdom on October 1, 1971. “This ultra-modern Disney Resort hotel and discover award-winning dining and spectacular views. Whether you’re staying in the iconic A-frame Contemporary tower or the nearby Garden Wing, you can walk to Magic Kingdom main gate or catch the Resort Monorail as it breezes through the tower. Inside, a 90-foot-tall mural by Disney Legend Mary Blair—responsible for the distinct look and feel of the “it’s a small world” attraction—celebrates the Grand Canyon and the American Southwest.” Be sure to look for the #5leggedgoat in that iconic mural! The Contemporary is home to fan favorite dining Luke Chef Mickey, Steakhouse 71, and the California Grill as well as a great little coffee shop, Contemporary Grounds! This resort is perfect for guests who want to really stay in the Magic with easy transportation to EPCOT and just a short walk away from Magic Kingdom #disneyscontemporaryresort #waltdisneyworld #incredibles #beourguestvacationsbycourtney
TRON Lightcycle / Run Opens April 4 at Magic Kingdom Park!! #disneysmagickingdom #waltdisneyworld #tronlightcyclerun #beourguestvacationsbycourtney
When I ran my first half marathon, almost 10 years ago, I was asked several times if I’d ever do a full marathon. My answer was always the same… maybe when Abbey is older and is more independent so that going out for long runs is easier. Training for a marathon is such a big time commitment! Fast forward to April 2022 after I did my first #rundisney race and I was hooked! I started thinking about marathon weekend 2023 and doing the half because that’s what I was comfortable doing. But if we stick to only what we’re comfortable with, we’ll never grow/get better! (Thanks to all of the coaches at @onepeloton for being in my head on that one!) I decided to commit to the full marathon. The race experience is just amazing! There are cast members, park goers, and local residents all along the route cheering you on! You get to see all kinds of backstage magic (that’s Disney-talk for behind the scenes! There are rare characters for photo ops and they even were playing a movie through one stretch! For me it wasn’t about the time on the clock when I finished the race, it was about the experience and proving to myself I could do it. Special shout out to my friends and family for their texts of encouragement through the day and to Martha and Jennifer who came out to cheer me on at Magic Kingdom and the finish line! I’ll definitely do another Disney marathon… I just don’t want to think about it right now 🤣🤣 . . . #rundisney #disneymarathonweekend #waltdisneyworldmarathonweekend #beourguestvacationsbycourtney

I needed to find a spot to answer some emails and finish my drink from lunch before heading to my next attraction. This hidden gem of a spot in EPCOT’s Canada pavilion is quiet and has plenty of seating. There isn’t much shade so on a hot sunny day, it may not be as relaxing, but it’s perfect for an overcast day like today. Epcot’s world showcase is full of these little nooks and crannies of spots to get away if you know where to find them! #beourguestvacationsbycourtney #EPCOT #worldshowcasewednesday #waltdisneyworld
