Whoa, Disney Cruise Line just dropped some MAJOR news! 🚢✨

If you've been dreaming of sailing with Mickey… this is your sign.

✨ Deposits are now just 10% of the cruise fare
✨ Itineraries are open through late 2026
✨ That means more time to pay it off and more flexibility to plan

Let me say it louder for the people in the back:
📍LOWER deposits = FASTER sell-outs
📍Your stateroom location matters, and the best ones go first

💡 Got a refund or some extra cash? I can apply it toward your cruise before it disappears on DoorDash. 😂

Planning payments is super easy, and I’m always just a DM away.

📲 Message me to get started.
Let’s make your countdown to cruise magic official.

📣 Climbing on top of my soapbox for a moment...
In my humble opinion, no theme park has ever pulled off more immersive lands than what Universal Orlando Resort has accomplished with their three Wizarding World lands. 🙂‍↔️

Yep, I said it. Nobody. 🙌

I’ve never felt more IN a movie or IN a story than I do when I’m:
🧙‍♀️ Wandering through snowy Hogsmeade
🪄 Finding the “secret” entrance to Diagon Alley
🏠 Knocking on 12 Grimmauld Place to catch a glimpse of Kreacher
🔥 Experiencing the Floo system at the Ministry of Magic for the very first time

It’s absolute storytelling magic. 🤯

🤔 Do you have to be a fan of the books or movies?
Definitely not. The level of detail will blow your mind regardless. (But if you are a fan... prepare to get teary.)

➡️ So who’s with me? Think Universal takes the goblet for most incredible theming?
🧳 When was your first visit—and what moment hit you hardest? If you’ve never been, what’s at the top of your Wizarding World wishlist?

🏄‍♂️💦 Catch a wave without ever leaving the ship.

The FlowRider on Icon of the Seas is your chance to hang ten (or wipe out spectacularly) while cruising the high seas. Whether you're a total beginner or a board-riding pro, this surf simulator is one of the most iconic thrills onboard.

Even if you’re not ready to ride, the wipeout-watching from the sidelines is legendary. 😉

It’s easy to miss Skipper Canteen when you’re in Adventureland on a mission to make your next Lightning Lane return time. 🌴🤭🍽️ It’s tucked away, blends right into the scenery, and is 100% Jungle Cruise skipper approved.

But you know what’s really easy to miss if you don’t know?
👉 The Skipper’s secret menu.

Sure, the regular menu is filled with bold, global flavors—maybe even a little too adventurous for some. But the real gems? They're off the (literal) beaten path.

🧀🍞 The Pao de Queijo (Brazilian cheese bread) is a must-try! Served with poblano cream and chimichurri sauce, it’s cheesy, flavorful, and secretly amazing.

🍤 The shrimp in a cup and Tropical Serenade Sangria also make an appearance from time to time if you know to ask. 😏

Are you bold enough to ask for the secret menu when visiting Skipper Canteen—or do you stick to the menu that’s handed to you?

💬 Tell me below!

🤫 I feel like I should whisper this so we don’t jinx anyone currently twirling down Main Street… but today is National Rain Day. ☔

I know, I know—rain is basically the worst four-letter word when it comes to Disney vacation planning. You wake up, check your weather app, and there it is: 100% chance of sogginess. 🌧️

But here’s the thing—rain is a regular guest at Walt Disney World, especially in the spring, summer, and early fall. Florida storms love to crash the party, and usually roll in during the afternoon like clockwork. Sometimes they last 10 minutes. Sometimes… not so much. 😅

The good news? With the right mindset (and a good poncho), rainy days can still be magical. In fact, they can even work in your favor:

💡 Pro Tips for Rainy Park Days
✔️ Ponchos over umbrellas – easier to carry and don’t block views in crowds
✔️ Head to indoor rides or shows like Mickey’s PhilharMagic, The Land Pavilion, Carousel of Progress, or Flight of Passage
✔️ Bring a Ziploc or two to protect your phone and MagicBand
✔️ Pack extra socks or wear sandals that dry quickly
✔️ Crowds usually thin out – so ride while they hide!

Now I want to know… what’s YOUR rainy day strategy at Disney?

🏃‍♀️ Dash back to the resort?
🛍️ Shop till the storm passes?
🎢 Run to your favorite indoor attraction like a seasoned pro?

🌋💦🌴 Universal Volcano Bay maintains the immersive personality of Universal Orlando Resort’s other theme parks. Here you’ll be transported to the South Pacific and embrace your inner Waturi as you brave fiery spirits...or just fellow sun bathers depending on how you’d like to spend the day. You’ll be shaded by lush greenery and can be as relaxed or as edge of your mat thrilled as you’d like!

🛝💦From gravity defying plunging slides to their 200 foot volcano to a cabana with a frozen cocktail, there really is something for everyone. With four unique villages, nearly 20 different slides, six restaurants/lounges and the massive Waturi Beach wave pool, you may need longer than a day to explore all this exciting water park has to offer.

👉 Have you ever been to Volcano Bay? What did you think? Is this park something you’d come back to again or was it a one and done for you?

😴⬅️➡️🤠Whether you are the type of person that NEEDS their sleep to function or the kind that believes if you’re not at rope drop every day why bother, you still need to plan for a Walt Disney World vacation. No amount of extra time in the morning is going to make up for having no plan, and no amount of extra sleep is going to make long waits or “sold out” Lightning Lanes roll off your back.

🙌Absolutely vacation YOUR way, but trust me when I say, you want me to share ⭐️MY way⭐️ to tour the parks with you.

When I plan vacations, I don’t just book a hotel and wish you luck. I get to know you—your style, your pace, your must-dos. For example, my own family loves hitting the parks first thing, heading back to the resort mid-day to rest, then heading out again at night when the parks glow ✨ (and the lines get shorter!).

I tailor every trip to match how you vacation by:
✔️ Building custom itineraries based on your vibe
✔️ Recommending smart dining times (and snagging the reservations for you!)
✔️ Offering Lightning Lane strategy that doesn’t make your brain explode
✔️ Giving tips that make the trip feel like a vacation, not a chore list

You bring the dreams—I’ll bring the plan. 💫

🇺🇸🏝️✨ It’s so funny how an island of the United States, that doesn’t require a passport, can still be such a pipe dream vacation for so many. What if you could couple your love of gorgeous beaches with your Disney obsession? Would that be enough to make you brave the different time zones?

🌺Aulani, a Disney Resort and Spa has the Disney touches that you’ve grown to love while being situated on probably one of the most beautiful places on the planet. Learn to make leis or how to play the ukulele, dine at an authentic luau, get that luxurious massage, hug on tropical Mickey, snorkel, boogie board or just lounge on the white sand beach. Whether it’s your couples only getaway or you want to do something special with your Disney loving family, Aulani has it all.

✋Who has been to Hawaii? (How were you convinced to come back home?!) I know it can feel like another world, so who has questions about Aulani that I can answer?
