Gift Guide: 1st Disney Trip

11/24/2021

0 Comments

 
There's nothing like your first trip to Disney! Every kid (or kid at heart!) will love each of these gifts to kick off their first Disney trip!
Picture
Disney Luggage
Good luggage is essential to any Disney trip. This American Tourister luggage is a long-time favorite, and it comes in a huge variety of patterns! This luggage is high quality, long-lasting, and a must-have for any Disney fan!

Kids Luggage
American Tourister doesn't just make full-size luggage, it also makes fantastic kid-sized carry-on luggage, too! The kids luggage comes in all of their favorite characters, so there are plenty of options to choose from!

Kids Water Bottle
One of my biggest travel tips is to stay hydrated! For the adults, I always recommend carrying this water bottle strap. It fits around your water bottle to help  remind you to sip throughout the day. However, if it's your kiddo's first trip, help them stay hydrated with this water bottle designed just for kids!

Disney Backpack
This one is perfect for every momma in the parks! The stylish, sleek design is a home run, and with subtle Disney touches, it's perfect. I've rounded up some other great bags here and have a complete park bag packing checklist here. Make sure you check both of these posts before you head to the parks!

Disney Planning Binder
Keep everything organized for the perfect first trip with this Disney Planning Binder from Etsy. Keep everything from dining to budgeting to packing organized! 

Give the Gift of a Perfect Trip
Why not give the gift of a Disney vacation? As a Disney destination specialist, I can take care  of all plans from beginning to end for a seamless, perfect trip! Contact me to get more information or to become a concierge-level client.

My 2021 Disney Resort Recommendations for EVERY Category!

1/4/2021

0 Comments

 
Looking to travel to Walt Disney World in 2021? I'm highlighting my top Disney Resort picks for 2021 guests! I've included my top picks for Value, Moderate, Deluxe, and Villa Resorts as well as a few honorable mentions!
Picture
Value Resort: Pop Century
Disney's Pop Century Resort is in the Value Resort category. What makes this truly unique is that it's now on the Skyliner route...which means it connects you straight to Epcot and Hollywood Studios, in addition to the Art of Animation, Caribbean Beach, and Riviera Resorts. The rooms were all recently refurbished, so everything will feel brand new and much cleaner than before! Rooms sleep 4, plus 1 child under 3.

Top 5 Reasons a VIP Tour is Right for You!

10/14/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
Let's cut right to the chase: a private VIP tour is a better value than ever.

"A VIP tour? Value????? Are you crazy?" (You already know how I feel about the stark difference between value and cheap.) Pricing on VIP tours varies by time of year, whether you add additional hours, etc., so COST can vary significantly. Today, though, we're talking VALUE

Value #1: Park-Hopping
There is no park hopping allowed in Walt Disney World right now, and it's not coming back anytime soon.  The ONLY way to park hop for the foreseeable future is to take a VIP tour.

0 Comments

 
Picture
As part of their phased reopening, additional dining and experience reservations are now available at Walt Disney World! The 60 day booking window begins today for dining and other experiences!

Here are a few items to keep in mind:
  • In-Park Dining: Theme park guests will need valid park admission and a reservation for park entry through the new Disney Park Pass system, as well as a dining reservation for in-park, table-service restaurants for the same park on the same date. Dining reservations DO NOT guarantee admission to the park.
  • Disney Resort Hotel Dining: A confirmed dining reservation is required for day guests, and reservations are HIGHLY recommended for guests staying overnight at a Disney Resort hotel. 
  • Disney Springs Dining: Select dining locations at Disney Springs are currently accepting reservations.
Don't forget about the all-new My Disney Experience mobile check-in feature. This takes place of podium check-ins for dining reservations at many of your favorite table-service restaurants.

Are you excited about dining at Walt Disney World again? I know I am!
