★ PROMOTIONS & DISCOUNT MONITORING
If the dates you want to travel already have a promotional discount offer, we will make you aware of all your options to take advantage of that promotion.

Helios Hotel and Epic Universe ☀️💫

We loved this new hotel and park!

Helios has a ⭐️private entrance⭐️ just for guests of this hotel, right in the hotel. The hotel is well laid out and convenient. It was less than 5 minutes for us to get from our 5th floor room to Epic - so fast, so easy. AND, we had a head start even during early entry, as other resort guests had to pass through a longer entrance process in the front of the park.

Epic itself is absolutely beautiful - seeing it both day and night is a must. We had incredible food - table service, quick service and snacks. I could have done the whole week just at this park solely to eat all the food. We only scratched the surface of what was available.

Despite reports of some growing pains with attractions operations, all rides and shows were up and running during our 2 day visit. They were just as amazing and expected - we experienced EVERY attraction, and there wasn’t a bad one or one we wouldn’t repeat. Favorites were Monsters Unchained, Harry Potter Battle at the Minstery, Stardust Racers, and Hiccups Wingliders. Both live shows were also fantastic!

Express Pass - you definitely want it! If you can work it into the budget, it will improve your experience. We saw standby waits averaging about an hour per attraction with some higher. Express Passes cut this down to 15-20 minutes at most. Lots of attractions here have queues at least partially outdoors. In August in FL - we were thankful for Express Pass!

Doing other things at Universal - I was nervous staying at Helios, paying “premier hotel” rate, and not having quick access to the original parks and Citywalk like the other premier hotels. But that was an unfounded worry. The shuttle to Citywalk was ON POINT! 95 percent of the time it was there waiting before we arrived. The rest of the time - 5 minute wait at most. Navigating all over UOR while staying at Helios was no problem - and the direct entry to Epic was well worth being farther away from everything else.

I’d love to help you plan your own adventure

🌎 UNIVERSAL‼️

What started as a 1-day excursion during WDW trips, became 1-2 nights tacked onto WDW trips, became long weekends on its own…

Now, for the first time ever, we will spend ONE FULL WEEK exclusively at Universal 😱

With the addition of Epic Universe, and snagging tickets for opening night of Halloween Horror Nights, I think this is well justified, and can’t wait ☺️

That said, I am back this week sending quotes, processing payments, answering questions. But…

🚨 OUT OF OFFICE 🚨 NEXT WEEK!

I will be following up with clients in need of followup this week. If you have questions, want a quote, want to chat, etc - please reach out this week. 📧 [email protected]

Those curious about Universal or who just enjoy my updates - stay tuned next week for all things Universal 💫💫

All Disneyland and DCA inside the parks.

Couldn’t have asked for better weather ☀️

If you’re a teacher, or someone who prefers travel in the summer, this is a great alternative to FL parks if you can’t handle FL summers. Still warm of course, but the difference in climate/humidity is huge.

This was such a treat to see at Disneyland. Inside the Main Street Opera House, you can encounter Walt telling stories and anecdotes in his own words, as an animatronic. I was told his family had personal input on this production, and it’s very close to their hearts. Walt Disney - A Magical Life, is currently replacing Great Moments with Mr Lincoln in the opera house - but neither animatronic is going anywhere. Eventually they will alternate shows. Make sure to arrive to the opera house early to see images, art and artifacts from the early days of Disneyland.

Last but not least for our tour of onsite Disneyland resorts. Pixar Place is newly revamped and renamed. The building is from the mid-80s but you’d never know. Kids and Pixar fans will love all the fun surprises here ☺️

2nd place on my list of top 3 Disneyland resort hotels I’d love to stay at some day (there are only 3, but let’s be real, I’d love to stay at any of them 😂) - Disney’s Grand Californian hotel!

I actually am staying here, so have spent more time here than any of the others. This one is the newest of the three - built in early 2000s right alongside California Adventure park. It’s considered an in-park hotel for DCA, and you can literally step right into the park from a security screening area in the outdoor corridors of the hotel.

The hotel architect is the same one who brought us WDW favorites Animal Kingdom Lodge and Wilderness Lodge. It’s themed after CA national parks with an Arts and Crafts motif.

Room video here is my standard room, but they also have suites, villas and more - including club level.

We were treated to a character breakfast here - fantastic interaction, delicious food. Bring your family - they will love it 😍

Today in agent education we spent a lot of time touring and learning about the three onsite hotels of Disneyland resort. These are all deluxe level accommodations close to everything. The theme and history of the Disneyland Hotel has my heart. This is where I would choose to stay for my own trip. Beautiful new villa rooms, club level lounge with gorgeous views, and so many food and drink options - including my favorite - Trader Sam’s. I can’t wait to find a place of honor to display my new piranha cup when I get home 😆

We all love Disney World, but should never ever sleep on Disneyland! I’m here now for agent education - my second time visiting - and it’s fantastic! Here are some reasons why even seasoned WDW people should venture out here:

1. Connect with Walt - he walked these streets, ans oversaw every detail of Disneyland park.

2. The food 😋 - so many amazing snacks exclusive to DL and DCA

3. The attractions - some exclusive to the CA parks, some favorites that have been removed from FL but still live on here, and some that are kind of the same but different. The DL versions of classics like Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion, and Its a Small World are quite different than what WDW guests are used to, and not to be missed!

4. The convenience - The Disneyland resort is compact. I’m staying at Disney’s Grand Californian - I can be inside DCA park from their private entrance in about 3 minutes (the time it takes to walk from my room to the entrance, which goes right into the park). I can be to Downtown Disney in about 5 minutes of walking (again, all through the hotel to the dedicated entrance). I can be to Disneyland in about 10 minutes (5 walking through hotel, 5 cutting through Downtown Disney to the gate). This is a game changer for families with little kids, guests with limited mobility, elderly grandparents, special needs, and others who just can’t do the bigness of WDW.

Whether a specific visit or part of a bigger west coast vacation - I can help plan Disneyland for you! I’m here now spending the week with Disneyland leaders, as well as managers and owners of good neighbor hotels - send me questions if you have them!
