💦 Yay! You can now easily find where the closest water bottle refill stations are closest to you at Disney World.

🥤 Yes, you can get free water at any quick service location, but those usually have lines and there’s this awkward situation where you’re trying to decide if you should just go skip past everyone in line and go to the counter to request water. And if you’re a large family, now you’re carrying all those ice waters back to the group.

😅 Plus I always recommend having a water bottle on hand in case you find yourself parched waiting in a long line.

💧 DM me if you want the link to my favorite filtered water bottle that always gets the gross taste out of Florida water.

🎵Even though Guardians of the Galaxy uses a virtual queue, that doesn’t mean you won’t have a wait once you’re boarding group gets called.

If you are able to get an early boarding group, 💯 This is what you should do to have no wait.

⏰If you’re rope dropping Epcot, go ahead and ride that first ride and then head straight to Guardians of the Galaxy. Your boarding group has probably already been called or will be called very soon.

😴 If you’re not up for rope dropping, when you arrive at the park as it opens, just go straight to Guardians of the Galaxy and wait for your boarding group to be called.

🎢Most people will try to to take advantage of early entry by riding a couple of rides before heading to guardians of the galaxy, even if their boarding group has already been called.

🎧 Typically the first 8 or so boarding groups are called either at park opening or even before park opening, so if you can arrive at Guardians of the Galaxy before the buildup of the boarding groups, you will hop right on the ride with little to no wait!

Beignets are coming to Magic Kingdom! 🏰

📅 Tiana’s Famous Beignets will be available at Golden Oak Outpost across from Pecos Bill, but only from February 1st-March 1st, 2024.

Of course the hope is that they will stay longer, especially once Tiana’s Bayou Adventure opens 🤞

This is a big deal! Currently, if you want beignets, you will need to hop on a bus and head over to Port Orleans French Quarter 🐊 This is a trip worth taking if you’ve never had them before, but now you can conveniently enjoy them on your Magic Kingdom day!

Let’s talk about this “Disney hack.”

While officially classified as a Moderate Resort, Gran Destino seamlessly blends the charm of a moderate stay with the lavishness of a deluxe experience. But what really sets it apart is the option to elevate your stay with Club Level rooms, which is typically only available at Deluxe Resorts.

There’s no question that the number one benefit of staying Club Level is access to the Club Lounge. This exclusive lounge provides breakfast and coffee in the morning, snacks throughout the day, and hors d’oeuvres and drinks in the evening, all of which are complimentary.

If you want to have the extravagant Club Level experience without the extravagant Club Level price, you definitely should consider Gran Destino.

These rooms can accommodate up to 4 adults plus a child under 3 in a crib. Think about all the money you’ll save on food by enjoying the lounge 🥂

You can find different variations of Dole Whip at several locations in Disney World, including:

2. Pineapple Lanai at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort.
3. Marketplace Snacks in Disney Springs.

If you’re a family of 6, here are your options for keeping everyone together in one room at a Disney Resort.

Did you know…

Gertie the Dino in Hollywood Studios is a nod to one of the earliest animated films - 1914’s Gertie the Dinosaur.

One of the taglines for the movie was, “Gertie: She’s a scream,” so it only made sense for the Disney Imagineers to make Gertie an Ice Cream spot. 🍦

You can find Gertie directly across the entrance to Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular! Grab some soft serve on your way into the show!

The Quantum Pretzel and the X-Periment from Pym Taste Kitchen and Pym’s Tasting Lab are absolute must-haves when visiting Disney California Adventure.

The cocktail’s subtle kick from the habanero syrup followed by the Mango Boba 🤌🏼

Pro tip: grab a seat outside and enjoy your treats as you watch various shows on the Avenger Campus.

As beautiful as fireworks and projections are, it’s the live entertainment that makes my heart so happy at Disney. The musicians at Epcot never disappoint 🎄🎵

13/12/2022

Père Noël (France), Father Christmas (UK), “Magical Barn Santa” (Norway) and Santa Claus (The Odyssey Pavilion) can all be found in Epcot during the holiday season. 🎅

You can also find Santa in Animal Kingdom floating by in the Santa Claus Flotilla; driving by in Hollywood Studios in the Santa Claus Merry Motorcade; and even at Blizzard Beach in his holiday Hawaiin shirt 🌴
