Who says you need turkey and cranberries to make Thanksgiving special? Sometimes a Muggle just needs a plate of wizarding comfort food. If you were at Universal on Thanksgiving day, would you seek out a traditional sit down meal, or completely forgo the big meal?

Universal Orlando Resort makes vacationing SO easy. You don’t have to have your faces in your phones to enjoy the parks. Their Express Pass Unlimited is...well, unlimited and EASY to use. (And FREE to guests staying at a Signature Collection hotel) The best part is how completely immersive it all is, like dining at the Leaky Cauldron or Three Broomsticks just like our Muggle and wizard friends have always done before us. You can pop in to these popular eateries and dine
without a reservation. Which do you prefer: Three Broomsticks over in Islands of Adventure or Leaky Cauldron tucked away on Diagon Alley in Universal Studios?

If you are looking for some room to spread out, a place where you can bring your fur baby, additional privacy and more activity related resort amenities during your next stay at Walt Disney World, try the new Cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground. It’s glamping with horseback riding, fishing, archery, carriage rides and a lively dinner show. These cabins are Disney’s best kept secret! Who else loves this special nook of the property? (And who just wishes we kept this a secret?!)

If you’re curious about these for your Walt Disney World vacation, message me and let’s talk some more about these rustic luxury cabins!

It’s Princess Day, but let’s switch things up and celebrate the one and only Princess Peach from Super Nintendo World! If you’ve got kids who can’t get enough of Mario Kart, or you grew up playing Donkey Kong, then you’re going to love this. You can meet Princess Peach (Mario & Luigi too) at Super Nintendo World in Universal Studios Hollywood! It’s the ultimate experience for the Mario Kart obsessed and feels just like you’ve walked into a video game. There’s a lot to know about experiencing this land to the fullest, so let me help you make the most of the trip if you plan to visit!

HOWEVER, if a west coast adventure isn’t in the cards, Universal Orlando’s Epic Universe opens on May 22, 2025 and will have both Super Mario Land and Donkey Kong Country! It’s going to be the hottest ticket in Orlando and there are
limitations on visiting! Message me for more information on booking an east or west coast Super Nintendo World adventure!

Time for some real talk...It’s not unheard of to walk 10+ miles per day around the Disney parks, so you want to have some training and strategies under your belt so your legs and feet don’t fail you. After many visits, here’s my advice:

▪Break in new shoes: Please, oh please, don’t try out new shoes on a Disney trip. You want some time to walk around the neighborhood before the start of your park days.

▪Chances are those super cute shoes are actually the worst park shoe ever. Bring those ugly worn in ones just in case!

▪Choose shoes with great support: It’s not just the miles you walk; it’s also the standing in one place for long periods of time. You want cushion and support that will keep your feet and back from aching.

▪Take breaks when you can: Watch some shows, go on longer attractions, or enjoy a table-service meal to give you a chance to take a load off (and usually get some A/C too!).

In the comments below, share with us your best tip for dealing
with the Disney miles and if you have it, your highest step
count!

It’s no secret that the main rotational dining rooms on Disney Cruise Line ships is amazing. The food and theming are top notch and the best in the business. HOWEVER, while you wait for your turn at 1923 or Animator’s Palate, you can still
indulge in limitless and tasty, quick and easy offerings. Better yet, grab a plate & bring it over to watch the movie on the big screen from your pool lounge chair. What says pampering more than sea air and brisket? How do you picture yourself spending your sea days?

So if you’ve been to the parks and are starting to plan a vacation for next year, take a look at a Disney cruise. I’m happy to help you sort through the details. Message me!

Holiday attraction overlays, characters in their snazzy holiday best, and that OG nostalgic magic that only Disneyland can deliver makes the West Coast feel like the perfect place to call home for the holidays. Has anyone spent Christmas in Disneyland? What did you love the absolute most?

If you’ve been thinking about making the trek out west to see Walt’s original park, there’s no better time than the holiday season. Festivities kick off today, but it’s never too early to start dreaming about (and planning) for next year! I adore Disneyland and would LOVE to help you finally get there, just message me!

Pickles aren’t just for sandwiches; they’re a Christmas tradition too! In Germany, families hide a pickle ornament on their Christmas tree. The first person to find it on Christmas morning gets an extra present from Old Saint Nick. What a fun way to get everyone to take a good look at all of the ornaments on the tree while adding a little extra pixie dust to the holiday festivities!

Too often when chatting with my guests about the Walt Disney World park options when we talk about Animal Kingdom, they’ll say, “But we have a great zoo right by our house.” (My travel agent heart breaks a little each time.) YES-there are animals, loads of animals but there’s so much more! Did you know you can ride on the back of a banshee? Rediscover dinosaurs? Finally settle whether or not the Yeti is real. Dance in the streets of Africa to a live steel drum band. Brave white water rapids. Learn how to draw a favorite Disney animated character. The animals are just the tip of the Everest cap! Join the Wilderness Explorers.

Animal Kingdom fans, what is YOUR favorite thing about the park?

Alright, time to set the record straight—Universal Studios Orlando is NOT stuck in 1985, and it’s way more than just thrill rides and Butterbeer. If you’re a die-hard Disney fan, you might have some opinions about Universal, but I’m here to bust some myths:

▪It’s Just About Thrill Rides-Universal has some awesome thrill rides, but it also offers immersive attractions for all ages. From the The Wizarding World of Harry Potter to Dreamworks Land and so many experiences in between, it’s a family friendly destination!
▪It’s Not as Immersive-Time to take another look at Universal if this is what you think. And I’m not even talking about the upcoming Epic Universe park!
▪It’s Just for Teens and Adults-This is just a hard no. With lands and attractions featuring Trolls, Kung-Fu Panda, Scooby Doo, Despicable Me and Dr. Seuss, the littles will know they are where they belong too.

If you’re thinking about giving Universal a try, I’d love to help you plan it out! Message me today!

Heroes Work Here! This Veterans Day, let’s take a moment to honor the incredible contributions of our US military service members—and shine a light on Disney’s Heroes Work Here program.

Since 2012, Disney has hired thousands of veterans, offering jobs, support and the resources needed to help them successfully transition into civilian careers. Keep your eye out for markers like this one in EPCOT. As a true patriot, no doubt Walt Disney would be proud of the way his company is thanking our veterans for their service!

Who are we?

What started out as a way to fund my family’s Disney obsession has quickly grown into a new passion for me. I love helping others grow together and explore. Adventures and memories are the best gifts we can give to each other!

I grew from Disney, to adding Universal, then Beaches and Sandals, then Royal Caribbean and now Globus family of travel. Whether you want to cruise or explore a theme park, or explore a new country, I can get you there.

What services do I provide? We are a full service agency so we assist with transportation, hotels, and itineraries. We’re with you from the start to the finish, making sure every detail is planned as you would like it to be and providing the information you need to make the best decisions for your trip. If you travel to Disney, this also includes Fastpass+ planning and dining reservations when you book a Disney Resort through me.

I am frequently asked about my fees. At this time, I am not charging for the majority of my services. The vendors I work with build the cost of commission into their prices so you either put that money back into their pockets or you support this small business. That’s a pretty good deal! You pay extra for most courtesy services but your travel destination is paying for me!
