One of my favorite times to visit Disney World is actually early November. 🍂✨

It doesn’t get as much attention as summer break or Christmas week, but honestly… that’s part of the appeal.

By then, the Halloween crowds have mostly cleared out, but the Christmas magic is already starting. Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is underway, holiday decorations are going up all over the parks, and you get that fun in-between season where it feels like you’re watching Disney transform into Christmas in real time. 🎄

And let’s talk about the weather—because this is a big one. Florida finally starts to cool off a bit, the humidity eases up, and walking around the parks feels so much more enjoyable.

Here’s the part a lot of families don’t realize: if you’re thinking about an early November trip, now is actually a great time to book. You still have solid resort and dining options available instead of just picking from what’s left later on.

So if you’ve been wondering if May is too early to plan a November Disney trip… it’s really not. The families booking now are usually the ones getting the resorts and experiences they actually want.

Tell me—which would you choose: early holiday Disney magic in November, or are you all about the full Christmas season in December? 👇

🤔Did you know "kidfluencing" is reshaping the way families are planning vacations?

87% of parents report that their kids are actively helping to choose and plan their travel. For me, half the fun of a vacation is the excitement leading up to departure and if the kids can enjoy this part too- even better!

👉What do you think? Do you involve your kiddos in the conversation around vacation planning? 🌎

Christmas magic starts long before December ✨🎄

This week, I helped a family book a very special surprise: a multi-generational cruise with Royal Caribbean International as their Christmas gift to the whole family.

Can you imagine the excitement of opening a gift and finding out you’re headed on vacation together? 🎁🚢

One of my favorite parts of being a travel advisor is getting to help create these moments behind the scenes — the surprises, the anticipation, and the memories families will talk about for years. It’s more than booking a trip; it’s helping turn a gift into an experience.

And believe it or not… now is actually a great time to start thinking about holiday travel. Christmas sailings, theme park vacations, and winter getaways book up early (for good reason). The families planning ahead now usually get the best availability, best cabin options, and one less thing to stress about later.

If a trip is on your Christmas wishlist this year, now is the time to start planning. ✨
