In early December I spent some time at Walt Disney World prior to getting on the Disney Wish! We did a few nights at the Boardwalk resort and has become one of my favorites! The rooms were all refurbished last year and are super cute. The boardwalk has so many great restaurants and is a quick walk or boat ride to both Epcot and Hollywood Studios!

Epcot had all the wonderful Christmas decor up (including a new gingerbread Spaceship Earth this year!). We also spent some time at Magic Kingdom where I finally got to take a ride down the bayou on Tiana’s Bayou Adventure ride (formerly Splash Mountain) and had a wonderful dinner at Be our Guest restaurant and a visit with the Beast!

If you love Nintendo you don’t want to miss Super Nintendo World opening at Universal Orlando Resort in May 2025! I had the opportunity to check out the Universal Studios Hollywood version last year and it was AMAZING. The theming is fantastic, there were mini games that can be played if you purchase the power up band (a fun option for families and adult fans!) and they have a cafe with Mario themed food. The ride is Mario kart in real life, which even includes Rainbow Road!

The Florida world is larger than the one in Hollywood and will contain an extended donkey Kong land with a mine cart ride and a family friendly yoshi ride as well! You won’t want to miss it! Booking opens tomorrow! Let me know if you have any questions or want to plan a trip for your family!
