06/06/2026

Why should you care about this deal? Because most cruise offers are geared towards families of four but this is for families of up to five! Which as a large family ourselves, we love to see these kinds of deals!

The other thing you need to care about is that time is running out! This offer disappears after June 14 so reach out today if this offer is for you.

Why Disney cruise? It's a deluxe cruise line where every need feels like it's met by cast members at dinner, in the kids and teens clubs, on their private islands, and room host who clean your room twice a day . Magic is around every corner with story telling elements weaved into every detail. Not to mention you will return from your vacation ACTUALLY feeling rested.

Taking your baby to Disney may feel overwhelming but I truly believe it is one of THE best times to go to Disney with little ones. It's the perfect time for stroller naps, baby wearing, and taking a slower pace to really soak in all the magic.

These are some of my favorite tips for making the most of Disney with your newest Mouseketeer.

Of course the thing that makes trips with baby easiest is using a travel planner. Have a question? I'm a text away. Need to change your dining reservation? I'm on it. Need help sorting out a stroller rental or arranging transportation from the airport? I've got all the best options available for you!

As a mama of four, I love chatting travel with babies, especially travel to Disney!

All in addition to Cool Kid Summer with free kids dining, free waterpark entry, and more!

Of course no matter the promotion or deal, planning your trip with me includes my services to make your trip run smoothly with itineraries made custom to your needs and interests.

Maybe you’ve heard the joke that parents don’t go on vacation, they just parent in different cities. Which I don’t disagree with BUT I hate the negative connotation. So let’s change the narrative! Let’s ENJOY traveling with our babies and have a vacation everyone can enjoy. As a mom of 4, I’ve learned a few things that I want to share with you.

Tip 1- Get their meal to go. At Disney, on a cruise, any restaurant, or even an all inclusive- ask for a to go container. We’ve spent many frustrating moments begging our kids to eat at the restaurant. Dining reservations or other trip plans often dictate when we eat and our kids aren’t always hungry at those times. They take a few bites and pick at the meal, but rarely do they eat the whole thing. I’ve sat there stressed that “we’ve paid for this!” or “I don’t have a fridge” or “you’ll be hungry later.”

But then a waitress at Disney offered us a to go box and said “for when they’re in the stroller” and it changed my world. I mean, duh!! Don’t we get a box when we’re at home? Why did this change while traveling?? Get the to go box and let them eat when they’re hungry and less overstimulated. So maybe while in the stroller or while watching the fireworks or when you’re back in the room getting everyone to bed. You can go back to being the protein and veggie police soon enough. But for now, encourage another bite and if they say no, pass the crayons and ask for the to go box.

Bonus tip: bring your own baggies if you have a small room fridge and want to minimize space in the fridge. Plus makes it easier to grab and go left overs.

Part 4- Beat the Heat series! The summer deals are HOT but so is the pavement in Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World. I refuse though to let that stop you from having the most magical vacation!

Magic Kingdom is the most fun no matter the weather! So many rides have shaded or indoor queues. Lots of indoor quick service options and some of the tastiest table service restaurants make mealtime a great time to refresh and reset. Jessie and friends from Toy Story will be at the Diamond Horseshoe this summer!

An area I didn’t mention is Main Street! Here you will find so many stores and treasures to wander in and out of when needing a break. Another great shopping place to hang? Under the Big Top Souvenirs!

Save this for your summer trip and be sure to go find the other three parks on our page.

Oh and those HOT deals? They’re not here for long so if no additional cost Disney sounds like something you’re looking for, we should chat…and soon!

Welcome to part 3 of our series “Beat The Heat at Disney World.” We’re doing this series because Disney has HOT deals, HOT summer fun, and all around HOT temps over the summer. Those HOT temps shouldn’t deter you from going and having a Cool Kid Summer.

Welcome to Animal Kingdom. I’ll be honest, this one is tricky because Animal Kingdom is hot year round. It’s part of the design to keep the animals happy. Which I love for them, not necessarily for me. 😅

This is a park that we enjoy in the morning and return to later in the afternoon/early evening but we avoid the afternoons here. Evenings are so nice though because it clears out early and tends to have low wait times. This is in part to the early close time compared to the other parks so be sure to keep that in mind when making your plan.

I also know someone reading this is going to be screaming at their phone that I didn’t mention Nomad Lounge or Yak and Yeti. There are some really cool indoor dining areas around this park! So please know that these ideas aren’t exactly conclusive as much as they’re just tips and tricks for some of the things available to you.

Cool Kid Summer at Disney comes with HOT deals, HOT extras, and HOT weather. But that’s not a problem for you because you are a COOL kid with a plan to stay cool!

Welcome to our series with tips and tricks to beat the heat this summer at Disney World!

Park #1 is Epcot! She’s big, she’s beautiful, and she has plenty to offer for an enjoyable day no matter the weather or temperature!

One bonus tip I love for this park is to get lunch at La Cantina de San Angel but sit inside La Hacienda! It’s open for lunch hours for seating. It’s quiet, air conditioned, and has easy access to bathrooms. It’s also right on the water so it has beautiful views while you recharge over a delicious lunch!

What other tips do you have for Epcot?

There’s a new trend we’re seeing in Disney vacations. It’s going to sound discouraging but hang with me.

Longer stretches of stays are not as readily available as they have been in the past.

Also discounted room allotments are selling out quickly.

How does this sound like good news?

Well shorter stays are still available and most still have discounts to apply. That’s good news for your last minute weekend trips, snow days getaways, and spring break adventures.

For longer visits, we can do split stays! Now you can experience two of your favorite resorts in one stay or knockoff a few resorts from your bucket list. Bell services will transfer your luggage for you while you enjoy a park day or day of rest by the pool!

The other opportunity is planning your vacation sooner. Take this as encouragement to start planning and dreaming of your future travels now.

We are seeing these trends at more destinations than just Disney World. Sandals, Universal, and even cruise lines are filling up faster than usual. Finding a last minute escape can be overwhelming, but using an expert like myself can help ease your stress.

Let me know, are you thinking about a last minute escape or ready to plan for later this year?
