🎬✨ Something NEW is coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios… and it opens TOMORROW!
Beginning September 14, 2026, guests can step into the newly reimagined Walt Disney Studios area and experience Disney animation in a whole new way! ✏️🎨
Formerly Animation Courtyard, this refreshed area is inspired by Disney’s adorable short film Once Upon a Studio—and the idea behind it is SO fun! 💙
Imagine what happens when the animators leave for the day… and the Disney characters have the studio all to themselves! 👀
Here’s a peek at what’s waiting:
🎨 Drawn to Wonderland
📖 Off the Page!
⛄ Olaf Draws! — complete with an Audio-Animatronic Olaf!
🎬 Once Upon a Studio Theater
Whether you’re visiting with little ones or you’re a lifelong Disney fan who loves the magic of animation, this sounds like such a fun addition to a Hollywood Studios day! 🎥✨
And with SO many new experiences coming to Walt Disney World, planning ahead can make a big difference! 🏰
I will be checking this out first hand next Sunday! 🙋‍♀️

🌎✨ The Best Vacation Ever — For This Family! ✨🌎

Their first family vacation. ❤️

Two autistic boys.
Four incredible days.
Two amazing destinations.
And memories they’ll never forget. ✨

This family spent 2 days at Disneyland and 2 days at Universal Studios Hollywood — and when they came home, Mom told me:

“We had the best vacation ever!” 🥹❤️

And THAT is why I love what I do.

Traveling with autistic children can come with a lot of questions and worries:

💙 Will they be overwhelmed?
💙 Will they enjoy the experience?
💙 How do we handle sensory needs?
💙 What if something doesn’t go as planned?
💙 Can we actually have a relaxing, fun family vacation?

The answer is YES. 🙌

It just takes thoughtful planning, realistic expectations, flexibility, and someone who understands that every child and every family is different.

I was so honored to help this family plan their very first vacation, and even more honored that they trusted me with something so important. ❤️

Seeing these photos and knowing that these boys had an amazing experience? This is the kind of travel story that means EVERYTHING to me.

✨ Your child doesn’t have to fit into a “typical” vacation for your family to make magical memories.

As an autism mom myself, I understand that sometimes the little details make the biggest difference. I specialize in helping families navigate Disney, Universal, cruises, and other destinations with special needs and autism in mind. 🧩

If you’ve ever thought, “I don’t know if my family could do this…”
Let’s talk. 💙

Because your family deserves the chance to have the best vacation ever, too. ✨
