Family vacations are all about priceless time with family creating memories to TREASURE. I’m so grateful for these (and the hundreds of other) pictures for me to cherish.

Disney is all about togetherness, laughter, emotions, quality and love.
Already dreaming about my next cruise.

Thinking about a Disney Cruise for your next vacation? Let’s talk!

*Epic Universe 5/22/2025
(Opening soon but I got to preview it this week!)

It has been a long time since an entirely brand new theme park has opened up and this is truly a masterpiece. There’s even more space for new things to be added but for now, this is a great addition to Universal Parks and Resorts.

From the moment you first walk through the first portal, there is so much to look at and explore. The theming and attention to details in each of area of the park is impeccable.

I took too many photos and can’t wrap my mind around everything so will try and post more pictures and updates.

Happy to answer any questions or share more details but you gotta check this out for yourselves!

Grand Helios Resort at Epic Universe

First impressions: WOW!!!
This resort is gorgeous and the dedicated entrance into Epic makes it super convenient. More to come as I’m trying to soak this all up.

Stella Nova is one of Universals newest resorts. This budget friendly property is close to Epic and has nice ambiance. Perfect for a quick getaway!

💖 EPIC UNIVERSE 💖

Every once in awhile I feel like I need to pinch myself as I can’t believe how sometimes the stars just align and work out.

After a magical spring break cruise and a couple days at Disney, I am now here at Epic Universe for a preview and am trying to squeeze as much into a very quick visit.

I’ve already taken a ton of pictures and videos. But first impressions tell me that I’ll need to come back for more—and now is the time to start thinking about booking that Epic vacation.

What do you wanna know??

Since we were already in the Orlando area for the cruise, we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to visit Epcot before Spring Break comes to an end. Wish we had more time to do all the parks, but we love visiting during the Flower and Garden Festival so Epcot was the perfect choice for this trip.

Flower and Garden Festival is running through June 2nd. Between the beautiful topiaries, yummy food booths, and extra magical touches throughout the park, it is a great addition to all the great rides, attractions, countries and dining already included in your Epcot visit.

There’s still time to visit this year….or start thinking about 2026 (packages will be released eventually!).

I’d been wanting to try Cake Bake Shop Restaurant and Bakery since I first heard about it several years ago.

The restaurant is beautiful and a place I’d love to come back to with a group of friends (definitely more my type of place versus my husband but he did enjoy the food).

My girls and I really enjoyed our dining experience and the Neapolitan dessert was delicious. Can’t wait to come back and try more desserts!!

Happy Easter 🐣🐰
Every year the talented Cast Members/Pastry Chefs create these magical Easter egg displays. These works of art are so fun to see. Here are a few of my favorites from the Grand Floridian.

One of the hardest parts about getting off a cruise ship is the return home.

We weren’t ready to head back to Maryland so we came to our home away from home, Walt Disney World.

For this trip we are checking out the new Island Tower at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. The photos are from the lobby/entrance and one-bedroom villa.

More to come!!

Where do I even begin? We just got off the Disney Treasure (very reluctantly) and there are so many things I want to share with you.

The shows are always a “must do” for me and I was so excited to see the new Tales of Moana show. It definitely lived up to my expectations and was an absolutely amazing show that should be on Broadway but is included on the cruise. We saw it twice and loved it so much, I would love to get back on board just watching it again. Disney entertainment is just the best!!!

Each of the Disney ships has an impressive chandelier in the Grand Hall/atrium and the Treasure is no exception.

This stunning focal point has different lanterns surrounding the large fixture in the middle. Each one representing each of the other ships—and you have to look closely to the details like glass slipper to represent Cinderella statue on the Wish, shell for Ariel statue, etc.

And this one also has a show and the whole ceiling lights up to music. So pretty to watch!

Hi! Just wanted to check in. Hopefully you all are enjoying your Spring Breaks. I’m here on the Disney Treasure, hanging with Minnie (in her awesome themed outfit).

I take so many pictures on vacation and then struggle to actually post all the updates and information. If there are any things you want to know or pictures you’d want to see, let me know.

Will share some more pictures of this incredible ship (plus I have over 200 of my family from the ships photographers for me to cherish—and cruise isn’t done!)

Spring break isn’t over and I’ve got some really big plans still to come (so big these plans are EPIC!) so more to come.

Happy Spring Break!!!!
