🚨Attention all Disney + Subscribers!

⚓️Disney Cruise Line is offering some discounts for select sailings on three of their ships starting January 2025 - June.

💕This is a great way for families with kids still in the house to experience a Disney cruise!

There's a lot to digest when planning a trip to Disney! I like to take in little bits of info when planning for travel at a time to not overwhelm myself.

Excited for the holidays but also day dreaming about my travels in 2025!

Physically, I’m here ☔️

Mentally, I’m enjoying Pirate’s Night on the Disney Wish in the Caribbean. Thankfully, I have a 2025 booked Disney Dream cruise to *dream* about on rainy days like today.

⏰It's the final countdown!

🧳I've got my packing list started for my 6 day stay at the beautiful island of Grenada! We will be staying at Sandals Resort - a name you're probably familiar with.

💕I spent my honeymoon at Sandals Grande St. Lucia and there were many things we liked about it and have continued going back. A major perk for me is that the trip can be whatever you want it to be - all about relaxation, adventurous, or exploring the island.

🤿We love it because scuba diving is included for all guests! And if you're a scuba diver - you know that pays for itself being able to dive once a day!

🥂Additionally, we enjoy that everything is all included (food, alcohol, airport transfers) which makes traveling super easy. When we want to travel and not worry about anything (like surprise costs or missing a train!) this is where we want to go.

🌈I'll be sharing more BTS of our time in Grenada next week!

💕 My husband and I were talking the other day about how we can't believe we're in the final few months of 2024 (but also the best part of the year, right?)

🎃 HHN 2024 (at a glance!) 🎃

1. If you have limited time for HHN like we did, I’d highly recommend booking the RIP Tour! It can be pricey but it gets you front of the line access to all houses, easy access parking, best seats at the Nightmare Fuel show, dinner, drinks, and treats at La Bamba! A great experience if you don’t want to wait in line all night!

2. If you need a break from the scares, head over to Diagon Alley for a respite from scare actors and to ride Gringotts - just be aware the Death Eaters are out!

3. We started earlier in the day (😮‍💨) so we could ride our favorite rides and got to meet Shrek at the new Dreamworks area!

4. Lots of good treats and food for the event! My personal favorite was the Stay Puft S’more!

5. We stayed at Cabana Bay and ordered pizza from the hotel the night we arrived! We were pooped and didn’t want to leave the hotel. There’s a button on your phone to order pizza 🍕

6. My favorite scare zone was the Torture Faire! A bit gory, but very fun!

7 & 8. One thing that’s great about staying onsite at Universal is your close access to the parks and all of the fun decor! We stayed at Cabana Bay which makes you feel like you’re in an episode of the Brady Bunch. We really enjoyed our time here and the small attention to details.

9. Big Blumhouse fans over here but our favorite parts of HHN were two houses: Goblin’s Feast (like a fun party at the Shire but you’re the main meal) and Slaughter Sinema 2! Both were probably the most fun of all the houses.

10. We learned a lot this year at HHN and how we’ll do things differently in ‘25 (like don’t cram everything into one day!)

👻 Spooky season is definitely here and Universal has us ready for the best time of the year!

🎃 We had the best time at the 33rd Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Orlando!

🎃 Eeeek! It's almost here!

🍂The weather is cooling off and the leaves are just beginning to change colors which means we're getting closer to one of the best times of the year - Halloween!

👻And because we can't wait until October to celebrate the spookiest of seasons, we'll be heading down this weekend for Universal's 33rd Halloween Horror Nights! I'll be sure to post about our stay at a Universal Resort as well as our RIP Tour with skip the line access to this year's scares!

📣Stay tuned!

📚 Disney is known for their stories and one of the newest ships, the Destiny, will certainly bring some of our favorite characters to life!

🎉 Changes are coming to Disney Parks in 1 WEEK!

✏️Planning a trip to Disney can appear intimidating at times and this new change can feel like one more thing to learn!

⏩But do not fret! The new fast pass system is going to help you plan your next Disney trip with more ease! Here's a quick cheat sheet to better understand the changes that are coming!

“SISTAH’S! Come, we fly!” 🧹
.. 🎃 to your favorite Halloween party this fall! Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party is such a fun celebration of dressing up, eating treats, and seeing your favorite characters in costume!

👻 One of my favorite times of year at one of my favorite places (not to mention, my husband proposed to me at Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party a few years ago so it holds an extra special place in my heart!)

✈️ If you’re already heading to Disney this fall and want to add this on, or want to make a trip just for this, shoot me a message and we can take a peek at adding more to an already fun trip!

🫣And if you want a little more scare, be sure to check out Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights while you’re here (I can help with this, too!)
