nothing quite like a morning rope dropping Soarin’ at Epcot!
✈️🌐✨🌍

“Rope drop” is the term we Disney people use to mean the first ride you head on for the day! It started because the cast members literally used to carry a rope for you to walk behind to be let into the park.

When you stay on the resort property at you get 30 minutes of Early Entry each morning! Epcot usually opens around 9am so that means 8:30 is when resort guests can enter!

I recommend getting there about 30 minutes before the scheduled Early Entry time so you are at the front of the line at security & the ticket line! I promise it’s worth it to wake up early 😉😴

One of my best secrets for traveling to as adults: Single Rider Lines!

I am a big fan of using these lines to help cut down on your wait times in line. 99% of the time I use the single rider lines the wait is less than 10 minutes!

You do have to be prepared to get separated from your party on the ride, however for me this is worth saving lots of time waiting!

pro tip for this photo location! find the bridge at the end of the land past the entrance to Forbidden Journey!

Epcot’s Food & Wine Festival is happening now through November 23rd! 🥘🍷🍱

There are so many awesome treats to try at the food booths and great beverages to sample too!

My biggest tip for Epcot festivals is to buy a gift card in the parks, specifically the ones with the wristband, so you can keep track of exactly how much you are spending!

I also love sharing items with people I’m traveling with so we can try even more things!

You can still book a trip to enjoy Epcot’s Food & Wine Festival this year! Or let’s start planning for Fall 2025 🤭

I have a confession 🫢 Hollywood Studios may be my favorite park now!

I love the ambiance of this park- jazzy music on Sunset Boulevard, stepping into the magic of Galaxy’s Edge, feeling the size of a toy in Andy’s Backyard. It’s all so fun!

I could be happy in this park to just walk around & take it all in but there are also so many great restaurants, rides, and entertainment to experience!

I’m extra excited to visit Hollywood Studios soon all decked out for Christmas! The classic Hollywood vintage Christmas decor in this park is just the best!

A morning in Magic Kingdom is always so magical ✨🥰

Did you know that the Main Street vehicles are not an exclusive thing?? Anyone can ride!

During my parents last trip, my mom had a magical moment with the cast member Justin who drove a few guests up & down Main Street telling them lots about the history of the park. He then surprised my mom by giving her a full photo shoot in front of the castle with the perfect fireworks shot!

Moments like this one are what makes SO special!

let me tell you one thing- book! the! trip!

I promise you it’s worth it! And I could tell you a thousand reasons why, but let’s start with 3 😅

1. Quality time!

Whether that’s with your family, your friends, or solo- you need it! Nowadays we miss out on opportunities to spend genuine time with one another so often. Travel allows you to take a step back from reality and enjoy the carved out time with your people!

2. Great memories!

A little one meeting their favorite character for the first time, a couple celebrating their marriage, or a family having a great meal together- whatever the memories may be they are worth it!

3. Relaxation!

One of my favorite parts of planning a vacation is that all the hard work of planning is done before you leave! That means when you arrive in Orlando you get to focus on just enjoying in the fun!

Two of my most loyal clients have been LOVING their couples trip to Walt Disney World this week!

My parents having been giving me all the FOMO as they are enjoying their time in Disney! They are loving the Food & Wine Festival, got to spend some time with two of their college besties, riding all their favorite attractions, and even got their AP magnets!

I love helping them plan their Disney vacation each time! As two frequent park goers, they know their “must-dos” that have to happen each trip (looking at your GOTG Cosmic Rewind), but they also love trying new things!

Wanna see what they’ve been up to? Check out my Instagram story highlight called “parents WDW” to see more!
