Traveling to Disney World during the holiday season is one of the most memorable things I've done with my family. Of course it is also some of the most crowded and expensive times of year, so how do you go about making the most of a trip during the holidays? Here are 10 things that you can do at Disney during the holidays that cost $10 or less!

1️⃣ Create holiday crafts at your Disney Resort hotel. All hotels at special holiday festivities and crafts over the holiday season.

2️⃣ Take a walk through the Disney Springs Christmas Tree Stroll with over 20 themed Christmas trees.

3️⃣ Enjoy live music and snowfall at Disney Springs.

4️⃣ Check out the life size Gingerbread Displays at several resorts including Grand Floridian and Beach Club.

5️⃣ Let you little kid take a pony ride at Disney's Fort Wilderness resort and then take a stroll through the campsites that are decorated with tons of Christmas lights.

6️⃣ Check out the coin press machines around Disney World as many of them are swapped out for holiday designs during the holidays and cost on $1.

If you want to plan a holiday trip to Disney World in 2025 now is the time to start planning as hotels do sell out during this time period AND if you book with me I will constantly monitor new promotions that are released to make sure you always have the best price possible for your vacation.

🛳️ Who’s ready for one of the best cruise experiences ever? Disney Cruise Line is definitely one of the best cruise lines out there and right now is the time to book if you want to sail in 2025 or early 2026! If you are interested send me a DM and we can get you all set up!! Here are three of my top reasons to cruise with Disney right now!

1️⃣ New Ships such as the Disney Wish or brand new Disney Treasure. Experience the magic of Disney like never before aboard the Disney Treasure, the latest addition to the Disney Cruise Line fleet. This enchanting ship is filled with adventure, featuring immersive storytelling, themed dining experiences, and breathtaking entertainment inspired by Disney's most beloved tales. With stunning new destinations and family-friendly activities, the Disney Treasure is your gateway to unforgettable memories on the high seas! 🌊

2️⃣ One of my favorite things about a Disney Cruise is that almost all of their sailings from Florida stop at one or both of their awesome private islands. Both of these private beach areas are a great way to spend the day relaxing with the family! 🏖️

3️⃣ The other area Disney shines are their staterooms that are bigger than almost any other cruise line, not to mention many rooms have the awesome split bathroom, which is great for families. 🛏️

Remember, booking early is ALWAYS the way to go with cruises, especially when cruising with Disney. If you book early only a deposit is required and then you have several months or even a year to make payments of you want to spread the cost out. Let me know how I can help!!
