Ears For Every Occasion

✨ It's a brand new year and I wanted to bring back my Hidden Gems at Disney for #whimsicalwednesdays! I know I have talked about this a lot - there are SO many neat things you can do at the many resorts around WDW. ✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Have you ever been frustrated that you could not snag a time for the Safari at Animal Kingdom? Have you ever wanted to see the animals closer to dusk but didn't want to wait in long lines? I have your answer - Animal Kingdom Lodge! 🦓 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Animal Kingdom Lodge has a beautiful outdoor area right off of their main lobby where you can sit and enjoy watching the animals out on their very own savanna. It's like you are on the Safari ride, but you can choose to sit and enjoy the animals as long as you want to! My favorites are the giraffes 🦒 and the ankole cattle. 🐂 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ While you are visiting Animal Kingdom Lodge, you should also check out Sanaa for lunch or dinner. Their Indian Style Bread Service is to die for! Plus - you can still watch the animals from floor to ceiling windows throughout the restaurant. 🥰 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Have you ever been to Animal Kingdom Lodge? What was your favorite part?

🎧Anyone who has ever tried a Silent Disco knows it is the absolute best way to end the debate on what song to dance to! This clip was taken from one we tried on DCL a few years ago. When I came across the memory it gave me all the New Years vibes 😍 Have you ever tried a Silent Disco? 🎧Better question: If you have, have you taken your headset off to listen to everyone else? It’s the BEST!!🤣

🎆 It’s the last Tuesday of the year friends!! I thought we could end our 2021 #traveltiptuesdays with a bang (pun intended) and a pro tip. While I very much enjoy being physically in the parks for New Years, sometimes the crowds can be overwhelming. One great way to view the fireworks and still get those New Years Eve feels is to venture over to The Contemporary Resort and check out their rooftop area. 🎆 Now, I would also highly recommend making reservations at California Grill (which are very likely all gone for this year) for dinner or drinks. This could be your new New Years tradition! Do you have a favorite place to watch fireworks? Comment below! 👇🏻

🎄🎅🏼Merry Christmas Eve friends 🎅🏼🎄 Enjoy this time with your loved ones ❤️

🎅🏼This is your friendly reminder that if you haven’t considered a Very Merrytime Disney Cruise, it’s time to!🎅🏼 The decorations seen here in the lobby are even more stunning in person.

Anyone else need a moment of zen today? 😌This was taken almost 3 years ago to the day at Castaway Cay 🏝 Did you know that most Bahamian and Caribbean Disney Cruises stop at Castaway Cay and it is a part of your cruise fare? As private islands go, this one certainly takes the cake. 😍 Enjoy your Sunday friends and keep those #sundayscaries away! 🙌🏼

🎄When you wish upon a star 🎄 This ornament never gets old no matter how many times I hear it (which has been a lot over the years 🤣) Today, I’m wishing for a UGA football victory on that star ⭐️ My love for the Bulldogs 🐶 is probably the ONLY thing that rivals my love of Disney 😍 Do you have a favorite ornament on your tree?

🛳 No #sundayscaries here, only missing DCL terribly! Enjoy this moment of relaxation in the middle of the ocean - at sea days are my absolute favorite! This was taken almost 3 years ago to the day and is from our last Disney Cruise 🌊 Here’s to hoping we have more DCL plans in our near future 🤞🏻 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Are you more of a day at sea or port day person?

🛥No #sundayscaries here, only peaceful boat rides by The Grand Floridan 🛥 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you haven’t checked out this resort, you are missing out. The best part is, you don’t have to stay there to enjoy all it has to offer. You can find shopping 🛍, delicious food 🥗, and even a piano player 🎹 in their gorgeous lobby atrium. This time of year, they also boast a spectacular gingerbread house 🎄 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Have YOU ever visited The Grand Floridian? 🏨

🙏🏼Happy Thursday friends! Enjoy this quiet moment in front of Splash Mountain 🙏🏼 I am forever grateful for all of the holiday trips my family has been able to go on over the years.

Needless to say it is a trip we will never forget! 🥶🥶 Do YOU have any favorite holiday memories from the parks? Comment below 👇🏻
