I’ve been getting the best photos from my Spring Break clients in WDW!!! Check out this one from Be Our Guest… the Beast does make an appearance at most dinners. The menu here is prix fixe and fantastically French! Reservations are required.

Here’s a look at our half day at Animal Kingdom…

Kilimanjaro Safari
Train to Rafikis Planet Watch
Animation Experience
Lunch at Tusker House
Feathered Friends in Flight
DINOSAUR
Flight of Passage

A few other attractions were just a little too intense for this group (Expedition Everest and Kali River Rapids I’ll thinking of you!) so we planned to skip those in advance.

Due to other “priority for this trip” showtime conflicts we missed Festival of the Lion King - it’s one of my favorites!

Flower and Garden has officially kicked off!! It’s the best time of year for beautiful topiaries, cool concert series, and specialty food treats like FRUSHI!!! And don’t forget about the iconic violet lemonade. The festival runs through May 27th at EPCOT. It’s not too late to book your 2024 or 2025 spring vacation. Message me for pricing and availability.

27/02/2024

Now this is a great way to kick off a trip! I haven’t been to a Disney water park because I have always focused our paid park days on the 4 main theme parks. Now with this added perk there’s no reason not to enjoy this amazing fifth park! Package pricing is out EARLY for 2025. Let’s get your Disney trip on the books! Message me for more details.

Walt Disney Travel Company tickets and vacations for 2025 dates at Walt Disney World are now on sale! Guests can enjoy the NEW perk of visiting one of our Disney water parks on their check-in date, for arrivals Jan. 1, 2025 to Dec. 31, 2025.

Now booking vacations through October 2025!

What happens when rides break down? Well we never wait around to see if it comes back online. My recommendation is to move on to your next priority and try that ride again later. In most cases the cast members are unable to tell you a time frame for when it will be fixed and I definitely don’t want to spend any more time in line. You can check My Disney Experience for wait times and ride closure information in real time.

Pro tip: Try to ride Rise of the Resistance early. This ride does have tech issues quite a bit and I want to be sure we get it done asap.

15/02/2024

The Figment meet and greet can be found when you exit the Journey into Imagination attraction. This was our first time meeting him… he just started meeting in the parks back in September. If character meets are a priority this is a great one to add to your list.

08/02/2024

The announcement we have all been waiting for!! We loved this restaurant pre-shutdown and are so happy for it to be returning. You better believe reservations will be extremely difficult to get for a while. Booking your Disney travel early is so important for so many reasons. Message me for more details

🚨We don’t have many details yet (those look to be coming on March 5), but 1900 Park Fare fans can look forward to the reopening of the Grand Floridian restaurant on April 10! 🏰🛎️

I feel like The Animation Experience is a little known attraction at Animal Kingdom. The times are posted in My Disney Experience. You will need to ride the train to Rafiki’s Planet Watch to get to this attraction. Once inside the building you can see which characters they are teaching that day. We got to draw Bambi. Even though we have very little drawing abilities I think the sketches turned out great and we had a super fun time too. 10/10 recommend.

27/01/2024

The Green Army Men Marching Band is always a highlight for us… there’s tons of pop up performances that add lots of extra magic to each Disney park. Other favorites are the JAMMITORS in EPCOT, and Divine in Animal Kingdom. You can actually search “streetmosphere” in My Disney Experience to find their showtime (as well as several others) and locations.

26/01/2024

Theme Park View from The Contemporary is the most magical experience. I love enjoying nightly Magic Kingdom fireworks from the comfort of our own balcony… or even bed!! The music to the show is available through a TV station so of course we sing along!! My kids 💯 recommend!

25/01/2024

Our new favorite Disney Springs restaurant is The BOATHOUSE. We found the food, service and atmosphere to be tops across the board. The kids loved that their meal came in a “car” and we sat outside to watch the aquatic boat launches. This was the most talked about meal of the trip for my picky eater.

22/01/2024

What’s the longest (and in my opinion only “worth the wait” wait) line in Walt Disney World?? Well Gideon’s Bake House at Disney Springs of course. These cookies are phenomenal. My favorite was the Pistachio Toffee… they are large and a rational person may say they can be shared… But I didn’t share mine 😉 my biggest tip is to buy more than you think you need when you get in there!

21/01/2024

Festival of the Arts at EPCOT has so many great photo ops… we were lucky to run across these during our trip since we were visiting before the festival kickoff. This year it runs January 12th - February 19th, 2024. If you are visiting during this time be sure to look for the amazing chalk art, giant interactive paint mosaic, the Broadway series, and unique food booths. So fun!!

20/01/2024

We rode Tron for the first time and this is what we learned….

Try out the ride vehicle before getting in line. You will need to kneel and lean forward to board the vehicle.

There’s a ride photo near the beginning of the ride so be sure to keep your eyes open 🤦🏻‍♀️

This ride is soooo cool and new! It doesn’t have a standby line yet so be sure to sign up for a virtual queue or purchase an Individual Lightning Lane. Genie+ is not required to buy an Individual Lightning Lane for this attraction.

It’s a quick, super fast attraction. We can’t wait to ride again!

Looking to add a little something extra special to your Magic Kingdom day? We LOVED the sweets and seats dessert party. There were tons of desserts, cheeses, fruits and both alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages. The best part was having an actual chair to sit in during fireworks. I will say the view of the castle projections was not as good as if we were standing in the HUB (our usual fav fireworks spot). But having a close bathroom and the comfort of a designated uncrowded spot was totally worth the added cost for this trip with my mom.

Please note Magic Kingdom currently offers two other firework dessert parties but they do not have chairs like this one does.

Reservations are extremely limited - I had to change my whole week plan to accommodate the night I was able to make this reservation.

18/01/2024

After Hours events are awesome!!! I prefer them over the Halloween and Christmas parties in terms of crowds. It’s definitely a late night though so keep that in mind when considering your plans and the ages of the guests in your party.

18/01/2024

Is using a Genie+ reservation worth it for Festival of Fantasy parade? I think so!! Check out our awesome viewing area for the parade. It’s roped off and you scan your Magic Band to access your genie+ reservation for entry. My kiddo (in the red shirt) was front row and loved it!

09/01/2024

How beautiful is brand new EPCOT attraction The Journey of Water?! No filter needed and even more magical in person. We went at early entry for low crowds and were so happy we did!

20/12/2023

Rock n Roller Coaster will be closing for refurbishment January 8th through summer 2024.

Rock 'n' Roller Coaster will be closed from early January until summer 2024 as crews perform routine maintenance on the attraction

When a VIP Tour makes a lot of sense…
1. You are going during a holiday and are expecting high crowds
Or
2. You have a short trip and want to hit the highlights at multiple parks in one day
Or
3. You are traveling with another family and have up to 10 total guests
Or
4. You don’t want to deal with Genie+, Individual Lightning Lane return times, or a touring plan

VIP Tours are AMAZING!! The guides are experts and make the trip so memorable. We had the best time on our VIP Tour and you can too.

I can book VIP Tours for my clients beginning 60 days in advance of their arrival. These Tours do fill up and are extremely popular. For more info on pricing and what to expect with a VIP Tour contact me or leave a comment below

Worried about traveling with your picky eater? Most restaurants have lots of kids friendly items - you can usually find chicken tenders or mac and cheese. But if you want to be sure you know what you can expect at each restaurant check out the menus in advance here: https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/dining/

Disney has some amazing restaurants… dining reservations are my favorite part of planning and I love going into the pros and cons of the restaurants with my package clients.
