spooky season merchandise has hit the shelves at 💀🎃👻
there’s a big section of Creations in Epcot full of all things Halloween! the Emporium in Magic Kingdom is also a great place to look for any new merch releases!
I personally love the pumpkin Mickey ears! would be great for anyone attending Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween party! 🥰
here to tell you that solo park time is SO fun!!
we had a large group of agents + some extras together last week so we decided to divide & conquer during our afternoon at Hollywood Studios! if your travel party doesn’t all want to do the same thing, I’m giving you permission to split for a little bit!
we were each able to do just what we wanted and then meet back up to park hop to our next location!
also can we talk about single rider lines?? should I do a post on this soon?
Walking into Diagon Alley from the streets of London is truly SO magical!
We rope dropped this last week at Universal Orlando Resort & headed straight back to Diagon Alley. The crowds in the morning were so light!
There’s so much to check out in this area- Gringotts bank, Knockturn Alley, Olivander’s wand shop, & of course Butterbeer!
we had a FULL park hopping day last week! 🥰✨💛
we started off our morning driving over to Epcot to do a few of my favorite rides- Spaceship Earth, Soarin, & Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind!
in the afternoon we hopped over to Hollywood Studios! some of us took the walking path from Epcot & some of us Ubered over- both are great transportation options.
in Hollywood Studios we grabbed some lunch from Woody’s Lunchbox, saw the Frozen show, & then split up to tackle some rides and character meets! I had to have some time over in Galaxy’s Edge 🚀
Then we took a bus over to Magic Kingdom to close out our night! We rode Pirates of the Caribbean & Big Thunder Mountain, had dinner at Pecos Bills, and saw Happily Ever After fireworks!
25,000 steps later we headed back over to the Universal resort area to rest & recharge for a full day at Universal Studios & Islands of Adventure!
Check out my story highlight on Instagram WDW August to see more snippets of our day! ✨💛

Epcot in the mornings is my favorite place to be! 🌐🥰
This is a great park for “rope drop”. We arrived at park opening and were able to ride several attractions like Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, Soarin Around the World, and Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind with short waits!

NEW at Hollywood Studios! Star Wars Rise of the Resistance Single Rider Queue! 🚀🪐☄️
We happened to be in Hollywood Studios the day the cast members debuted testing a single rider option for ROTR! The standby queue was about an hour long at this point in the day, however we waited about 10 minutes to get on the ride & about 20 minutes total through the attraction.
As with all single rider queues, be prepared for your party to be split up. If you have a group of adults or some older kids like teens, this is an awesome time saving option!
FYI- you do bypass parts of the storyline in the queue. If you’ve ridden before you can tell by my video where you pop in to the queue! I think this is completely worth it, unless it is your very first time riding.

Park bag essentials are SO important for making sure you have a magical day at 👜🎒👛
I switch between either my crossbody bag or my belt bag depending on how much I need to carry that day!
Some of my most essential items are my portable charger, my refillable water bottle, my mini fan, & my spritz hand sanitizer! Especially in the summer months these items are critical for getting me through a hot park day!
Great tip- I also bring a mini carabiner clip to clip my ears onto my bag when I need a break from wearing them!

Did you know Epcot has TWO entrances??
Epcot is the only theme park with two separate entrances. Most people know the main entrance with the stunning view of Spaceship Earth (the Epcot ball).
The other entrance leads straight from Disney’s Boardwalk to Epcot’s World Showcase between France and the UK. This entrance is called the International Gateway and it is also where the Skyliner station is for Epcot.
Guests staying at any of the Boardwalk area resorts can walk to Epcot and enter at the International Gateway and guests staying at any resorts on the Skyliner line can take a quick ride over and enter in the World Showcase. I love staying at any of these resorts because this entrance makes transportation so easy!
Using the International Gateway entrance is also a great strategy if you are wanting to “rope drop” (aka arrive before park opening to beat the crowds) attractions like Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure or Frozen Ever After!
Tell me in the comments below ⬇️ which Epcot entrance you prefer!

Did you know Magic Kingdom offers 3 different fireworks dessert parties for the Happily Ever After fireworks show??
Each party includes all you can eat desserts & cheeses, beverages including alcohol, and a great spot to view the show!
The three parties include- the Pre-Party where you can enjoy the food & drinks before heading to a reserved seating area, the Seats & Sweets where you can enjoy the food & drinks during the show on the Tomorrowland Terrace patio, and the Post-Party where you can enjoy the show in a reserved seating area and then enjoy the food & drinks after the show!
I have LOVED this event the past times I have done it, especially as someone who doesn’t like to be in a tight crowd! Plus for us short people you can actually see 😉
Have you done this event before ??
