These trips are truly my favorite because they remind me that some of life’s most memorable moments can’t be scheduled—they’re discovered in the beautiful, unplanned spaces between our carefully crafted plans. It’s about embracing uncertainty and allowing magic to find you rather than trying to control every single moment. 💫

The same is true when I help book for clients, it’s not just the logistics of coordinating reservations, it’s about creating that joy & excitement! 🥰

🧺✨ Disney World Laundry Guide: 
📱 My Disney Experience App: This is the easiest way to find your resort’s laundry room(s). Open the app, select your resort, and look under “Guest Services.”
💰 Costs: Most resorts charge $3 per wash and $3 per dry. Detergent is available in vending machines for about $1 per single-use box. Or, you can pack your own detergent pods to save money and ensure you’re using your preferred brand.
⏰ Best Time: Early mornings (think 6-7 AM) are usually the least crowded. I know, I know - who wants to do laundry that early on vacation? But trust me, it’s worth it. You can start a load, grab a coffee, enjoy some quiet time, have breakfast, or get ready for your day while your clothes are washing.
🏰 DVC Villas: If you’re staying in a Disney Vacation Club villa with one or more bedrooms, you’re in luck! These rooms come with in-room washers, dryers, and a complimentary box of detergent.
👚 Valet Services: For those who want to avoid laundry altogether, you can opt for the valet laundry and dry cleaning services. It’s pricier, but hey, you’re on vacation!
🌟 LaundryView: This nifty website lets you check machine availability in real time. This is a game-changer because now you will know if all the machines are in use BEFORE walking down to the laundry room with your clothes.
🧳 Pre-Checkout Wash: Here’s my favorite hack - do a load the morning of check-out. Coming home with a suitcase full of clean clothes is THE BEST feeling.
🏊‍♀️ Pool-Side Convenience: Most laundry facilities are located near resort pools. So, if you’re not a morning person, you can multi-task by starting a load and then enjoying some pool time. Just don’t forget to set a timer!
💡 Pack Smart: Knowing you can do laundry means you can pack lighter- Which means more room for souvenirs!

Remember, doing laundry at Disney doesn’t have to be a chore. It’s all about how you frame it - use it as downtime, a chance to recharge, or even a quiet moment to plan your next park adventure.

As I approach my first year as a travel agent, I’ve been thinking about ways to make my second year even more magical. & I am excited to share that I think I’ve found the perfect way to sprinkle a little extra pixie dust into our lives… 😬🤩

I’m thrilled to announce that I’m expanding my Etsy shop! And what better way to start than with something I absolutely adore – Apple Watch charms! These little charms have been my favorite way to add a touch of Disney magic to my everyday life for YEARS. Now, I can’t wait to share that joy with all of you!

My origianl plan was to preview these charms when they arrived, with a launch in December when I hit my actual 1-year mark, (and receive my branded packaging), but this first batch of charms came last week during the thick of Hurricane Milton. With so many important updates coming from Florida locals, I decided to hold off on sharing the news. I wanted to make sure those crucial messages weren’t overshadowed.

My heart has been with everyone affected by the hurricane- and I keep asking myself, “What can I do to help?” And then it hit me – why not use these charms to make a difference? ❤️‍🩹🥺

For the entire month, all proceeds from my entire shop (not just charms) will go directly to United Way Florida to support the incredible work they’re doing to meet disaster-related needs and helping victims recover over the long term. 🫂

This is my way of helping Florida and extending a little magic to those who need it most. If you feel inclined to help, head over to my Etsy shop, pick out your favorite charm, and know that you’re making a real difference. ✨

Disney has just released their deals for early 2025, so this morning I was able to surprise a few of my clients by telling them that I saved them some money on their upcoming Disney vacations! 🎉✨

Disney has launched some incredible promotions, including discounts of up to $200 off per night on select room-and-ticket packages for stays from February 26 to June 30, 2025. We’re talking major savings at some of your favorite resorts like the Grand Floridian, Polynesian 🌺, and even the All-Star Resorts. ⭐️

For those planning to visit during early 2025, there are additional savings opportunities. Clients can save up to 25% on rooms from February 23 to April 30, with even better rates available during specific nights in January and February. This includes popular resorts like the Animal Kingdom Lodge 🦁 and Beach Club Resort.🌊

But wait, there’s even more! If you’re a Florida resident, you could save up to 30% on rooms for stays from February 23 to April 30, 2025. And for all you Annual Passholders out there, get ready for this – you could save up to 35% on rooms during the same period

Now, there is a catch – these deals only work if the hotels still have rooms available. Unfortunately, for some of my clients who are booked at sold-out resorts, these promotions didn’t apply. It’s a bit of a bummer, but that’s why it’s so important to book early!

I’ve spent all morning chatting with clients, and let me tell you, this is one of the best feelings as an agent- the excitement was real, y’all! One family is now able to extend their stay by TWO nights without increasing their budget. Another couple decided to upgrade to a deluxe resort because the savings were so good. It’s moments like these that make me love my job even more! ❤️😊

If you’re thinking about a Disney trip for early next year, now’s the time to start planning! These deals are pretty amazing, but remember, rooms are limited. Don’t miss out on the chance to make your Disney dreams come true while saving some serious cash.💸✨
I’d be honored to help you navigate these offers and find the perfect package for you. ✨🏰🎢

🌟 Value resorts are the most budget-friendly, perfect for families who plan to spend most of their time in the parks. These resorts feature larger-than-life Disney theming that kids adore, w/ giant character statues & vibrant colors everywhere you look. While the rooms are compact, they’re designed efficiently to sleep up to four guests comfortably. There won’t be any fancy dining here, but the quick-service food courts offer plenty of options for picky eaters.

🏨 Stepping up to Moderate resorts, you’ll find a more relaxed atmosphere with lush landscaping and more subtle theming. The rooms are more spacious, & some can accommodate up to five guests. You’ll enjoy table-service restaurants + food courts, giving you more dining flexibility. 🌴 The pools are also a significant upgrade, featuring water slides & hot tubs.

👑 Deluxe resorts are where Disney truly pulls out all the stops. These hotels offer the highest level of luxury & convenience, featuring stunning lobbies, world-class dining options, & elaborate pools. Many Deluxe Resorts offer direct transportation to parks via monorail, boat, or walking paths, maximizing your park time. The rooms are spacious & elegantly appointed while offering breathtaking views of parks, lakes, or savannas.

🏠 For extended stays, Deluxe Villas provide a home-away-from-home experience. These range from studios to three-bedroom villas, & offer full kitchens + in-room laundry facilities. It’s worth noting that renting Disney Vacation Club points can sometimes make these luxurious accommodations more affordable. ( I can help you with this)

🌳 Don’t forget the unique stays Disney offers, like the Treehouse Villas at Saratoga Springs for a secluded forest retreat or the over-water Bungalows at the Polynesian, offering unparalleled views of the Magic Kingdom fireworks.

🎭 Ultimately, there is no “best option” or one-size-fits-all when it comes to Disney resorts. Only the best fit for you & your family!

LET’S TALK ABOUT LIGHTNING LANE MULTI PASS ⚡️
One of the most common questions I get asked in my DMs is whether or not I think the new lightning lane system is worth it. I have seen so many mixed reviews about the changes, so I really wanted to wait until I could experience it firsthand before answering this question.

For those unfamiliar, Lightning Lane Multi Pass is Disney’s updated skip-the-line service that replaced FastPass and Genie+. It provides access to shorter queues for popular attractions. 📅✨

One major benefit was being able to book our first three ride selections up to seven days in advance (if staying at a Disney hotel). This made planning our day much easier, especially with a toddler. 😌☁️

Flexibility is key when traveling with kids. The option to modify or cancel ride selections was a huge plus. Unlike Genie+, which felt cumbersome to me, LLMP allowed us to adapt our plans easily, accommodating spontaneous breaks without stress. 🍦💕
We were also able to seamlessly hop between parks & book rides at different locations throughout the day. 🦘🏰

Another big perk for us was how LLMP eliminated the need for rider switch. My husband and I could enjoy shorter wait times while taking turns keeping our toddler entertained, making the experience more enjoyable for all of us. 🎡💖

Lightning Lane Single Pass:
The option to purchase access to individual high-demand rides through the Lightning Lane Single Pass was definitely a splurge but worth it for our family’s priorities—like riding Guardians without the hassle of waking up earl or being in the park at 1 PM. 🎢👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

So, do I think it’s worth the splurge? Yes. ⏳🌈
Reducing wait times is crucial when visiting the parks w/ young children. LL allowed us to experience more attractions while still taking necessary breaks.
+ The ability to choose which rides and times worked best for our family BEFORE purchasing was another significant advantage. It ensured we got the most value out of our visit and, tailored our experience according to our preferences and appreciate all that Disney has to offer. 🎠🎉

If you’re looking for a weekend getaway with your person, I have the perfect plan for you at Disney World!
It’s all about slowing down and really enjoying each other’s company in the happiest place on earth. Here’s how you can make the most of your romantic escape:

❤️‍🔥 Thursday: Start your adventure with dinner at The Boathouse. The waterfront views are stunning, and it sets a lovely tone for your trip. After dinner, take a little stroll along the promenade and grab some ice cream—nothing beats sweet treats and sweet moments together!

🏁 Friday: Enjoy breakfast at Trattoria al Forno before heading to Epcot. Take your time exploring the World Showcase—it’s such a fun way to experience different cultures together. Lunch in France at Chefs de France is a must; the food is delicious! & Don’t forget to hop on some romantic rides like Remy’s Adventure and Soarin’ Around the World. For dinner, Le Cellier Steakhouse in Canada is fantastic, and you can end the night with the Luminous fireworks show—it’s truly magical!

⚡Saturday: Treat yourselves to a couples’ spa day at Senses Spa— Afterward, you can grab lunch at the Grand Floridian Cafe or enjoy afternoon tea at the Garden View Tea Room (temporarily closed.) Spend some time lounging by the pool or visit the Enchanted Rose Lounge for cocktails inspired by Beauty and the Beast. For dinner, splurge a little at Victoria & Albert’s—the food and service are top-notch! And don’t miss the private fireworks cruise on the Seven Seas Lagoon; it’s such a romantic experience.

☁️ Sunday: Start your day bright and early at Magic Kingdom. Get those iconic photos in front of Cinderella Castle! Then enjoy classic rides like Haunted Mansion and Peter Pan’s Flight before grabbing lunch at Be Our Guest. After a little afternoon break, head back to the park for dinner at Cinderella’s Royal Table and watch the Happily Ever After fireworks show to wrap up your trip.

So, why not escape the everyday and fall in love all over again? 🌹✨

I’m trying something a little different today & sharing my mood board for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween party! 🦇

There are A LOT of party exclusives, so I hope these visuals help you prioritize what you want to see during the party... As someone who has attended for the past three years, trust me when I say—you won’t be able to do it all in one night! ⚰️

Here’s what you can expect:

🐈‍⬛ Spooky Entertainment: Catch the Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular featuring the Sanderson Sisters and enjoy the Boo-to-You Halloween Parade. & don’t forget the Not-So-Spooky Spectacular fireworks show—it’s a must-see!

🍬 Trick-or-Treating: One of the highlights! You can collect candy throughout the park, making it a fun experience... I personally skip this because I am not a big candy eater, but my parents swear this candy is fresher than what you get at the grocery store 🤣

🕯️ Character Meet-and-Greets: Meet Mickey and Minnie in their adorable Halloween costumes, plus you might spot Mirabel and Bruno & so many others!

🎃 Tasty Treats: Enjoy exclusive Halloween snacks, like the cute Minnie Sanderson Sisters Sipper, along with themed dining & dessert.

👻 Ride Over-lays: Some of the most iconic attractions will have an extra-eerie vibe during the party with spooky music & special effects.

Important Details:
When: Select nights from August 9 to October 31, 2024.
Tickets: You’ll need a separate ticket, which lets you in as early as 4 PM. Prices range from $119 to $199, depending on the date.

If you’re looking for a night filled with Halloween fun, grab your tickets and get ready for an amazing time at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party! 🎉

& if you have been to a Halloween party - what do you prioritize?! 🤔 for me its rides (because of overlays and shorter lines and then all the shows.

✨ Setting a Budget for Your Disney World Trip! ✨
Setting a budget is crucial to ensure you have a magical experience without financial stress! Start by determining the length of your trip and the number of people in your party. Longer stays can often lead to per-day savings, especially with multi-day park tickets, but higher overall costs, so consider how many days you want to spend in the parks.

🎟️ When it comes to park tickets, you have options! Single-park tickets are great for focused visits, while Park Hopper passes allow you to experience multiple parks in a day. Keep in mind that ticket prices vary based on the season, so planning your visit during off-peak times can lead to extra savings.

🏩 Accommodations also play a major role in your budget. Staying off-site can be cheaper, but staying at a Disney resort can save you time and stress with complimentary transport and extra magic hours. Disney offers a range of options from value resorts to deluxe accommodations. Think about what’s most important: convenience, theming, or cost.

🍽️ Another cost that can sneak up on you is dining. Quick-service meals are generally more affordable than table-service options, and mixing both can help you enjoy a variety of experiences while keeping costs manageable.
You can also opt for a dining plan which allows you to pre-pay for a majority of your meals prior to your arrival.

🧸 & Remember to budget for extras like souvenirs, special events, and the Memory Maker photo package.

💵 Finally, start saving early! Consider using Disney gift cards to manage your budget and look into vacation packages that allow you to make flexible payment plans.

With careful planning and prioritization, a magical Disney experience is within reach, no matter your budget! 🌟✨

With sparkles,
Lynn
