Q: Why did the chicken cross the road? A: Duh, to get to the theme park! 🤣🤣🤣 While may never know the REAL answer to that age old question, Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando Resort both have several attractions that will make you LAUGH. Here are some fan faves:

🔋 Monsters Inc Laugh Floor (Magic Kingdom): Imagine a stand up comedy show but in the monster world. You can even submit jokes that may make the show.

❄️ For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration (Hollywood Studios): The Royal Historians of Arendelle are the real stars of this show (try and prove me wrong), but you’ll also sing along with Anna, Elsa, and Olaf!

🦏 Jungle Cruise (Magic Kingdom): If you love corny Dad jokes, this is YOUR ride!

🤡 The Simpsons Ride (Universal Studios): This never-aging family saves the day from Sideshow Bob in a hilarious way. You’ll feel like an unofficial resident of Springfield by the time you are done.

🏎️ Race Through New York Starring Jimmy Fallon (Universal Studios): It’s silly, yes, but you’ll feel like you stepped right into The Tonight Show studio while waiting in line, and then you’ll go all over the city, under the city, into space, and more.

👉 Time to reveal your sense of humor. Name an attraction that made you crack up! 🤣🤣🤣

1️⃣ Rule #1 of cruising: 👋🚢 The ship waits for NO ONE. If a flight delay or travel hiccup makes you late, that’s it. Your vacation sails away without you.😩

✅ That’s why I always recommend arriving at your cruise departure port at least a day early—but why stop there? Make it part of the adventure!

For Port Canaveral sailings, why not:

⛱️ Relax at Disney’s Vero Beach Resort for a few days and slide into vacation mode, Disney style!

👩‍🚀 Explore Kennedy Space Center – Because what’s a cooler way to kick off a cruise vacation than learning about the space program?

😌 Spend a resort only stay at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel you’ve been wanting to try out and get a jump start on the Disney magic!

🚢📍No matter which port you’re sailing from, there’s always something fun to explore nearby and I’ll help you find the perfect experience for you. Give yourself wiggle room and a stress-free start, so by the time you see that beautiful ship, you’re already deep in vacation mode. 😃 I’m ready to book that cruise when you are! There are so many ships and itineraries to choose from! Lindasdreamvacations.com

🛑 “But the Universal parks are all 3-D attractions, right?!” This is one of the most common questions/concerns I hear about a trip to Universal Orlando Resort. ✅ Yes, there are many REALLY FUN 3-D rides or hybrid 3-D rides like Escape from Gringotts, The Simpsons Ride, Transformers, The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man, and more-heaven if you love 3-D. 😎 BUT there are also PLENTY of attractions for those who may get motion sickness or just don’t love 3-D. I’ll name a few:

🦄 Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure: MAYBE the best ride in Orlando. It’s thrilling, feels like being in a Harry Potter movie, and features a couple of amazing animatronics.

🏍️ The Entertainment: Shows like The Bourne Stuntacular and the Horror Make-Up Show to entertainers like Celestina Warback and the Blues Brothers will make you forget all about the rides.

🎉 Special Events: During special seasons, there are ticketed events like Halloween Horror Nights, but also lots of free offerings during Mardi Gras. The Christmas season is where the Wizarding World shows off, the Grinch is in rare form, and actual Macy’s floats are featured in the parade.

🫵 How do you feel about 3-D? 👍👎What else can you add to this list of the best NON-3-D experiences at Universal?

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I feel lucky 🍀 to be part of your vacations!

I thought it would be fun to share some green from Epcot’s Flower and Garden Festival happening now through June 2, 2025.

This would be a great time to plan a Magical Vacation for this summer and fall! Lindasdreamvacations.com let’s chat!

‼️ Pop Century Resort Reveals Exciting Updates! ‼️

The Everything Pop area has received a makeover, boasting modern booths, tables, and a distinctive seating area.
Additionally, the Mickey-shaped windows have been added.
While one construction wall remains, rumors from a Cast Member indicate a possible brewery-style spot offering beer and coffee. What is your impression of the new seating and Mickey windows?

NOTIFICATION: Blizzard Beach has reached capacity lately, and as a result, Walt Disney World Resort hotel guests are allowed to enter, while others are not permitted.
Today, the water park has reached its maximum capacity, and therefore, guests not staying at a WDW Resort hotel are being turned away.
Staying on-site this year offers the benefit of complimentary water park admission on the check-in day, explaining why only on-site guests are granted admission.
Typhoon Lagoon is currently closed for its annual refurbishment and will reopen in May. ❄️

🍀✨🍀✨They say luck is in the air on St. Patrick’s Day, but at Disney Parks and Resorts, that extra bit of magic is what we call pixie dust and it can happen any day! 🤯 Sometimes, it’s a BIG deal—like a resort room upgrade or being chosen for Family of the Day. Other times, it’s a smaller but no less unforgettable moment, like:

A birthday cupcake from a kind Cast Member

A Mickey Ice Cream Bar just because

An impromptu Happy Birthday serenade from a Cast Member that sees your celebration button

A towel animal waiting in your resort room

A wave from Tinker Bell during a parade

✨🤩✨ Pixie Dust isn’t guaranteed and can come when you least expect it, but that’s what makes it so magical.

➡️ OK, it’s your turn! Tell me about a time you were Pixie Dusted on a Disney vacation—or if you haven’t yet, what’s your dream sprinkle of Disney luck? 🍀✨🍀

🧸🍼🎈It’s National Preschoolers Day, so let’s talk the best Disney park for little ones—and no contest, it’s Disneyland! Period. End of story. OK, I’ll give you a few reasons why:

🏰 Smaller & Easier to Navigate – No miles-long hikes between lands or to buses. Less walking = happier kiddos (and parents!)

🐘 More Classic, Less High-Tech – The rides here? Pure Disney charm. Think Dumbo, Casey Jr., Storybook Land Canal Boats—simple, sweet, and magical.

✨Characters Just… Exist Here – At Disneyland, many characters roam freely, like they actually live there. Seeing Peter Pan chase Captain Hook through Fantasyland? Or Gaston on his way to meet LeFou? That’s next-level magic for a preschooler.

🎠 Rides Made Just for Them – Disneyland has more rides with NO height requirement, so the whole family gets to experience the magic together!

📖 Pro Tip: Prior to your trip, read the “Little Man of Disneyland” Little Golden Book. His tiny house is built into a tree in Adventureland! Your kids’ mind

🥳 If you’ve been itching to book that first Disney visit for the preschooler in your life, let me tell you, you won’t regret starting them off where the magic all started. 💕✨🏰

This should be interesting. I definitely have opinions!

03/13/2025

💦🎢💦Disney is giving you a free water park day—🤔 should you use it? A brand-new perk for 2025: Guests staying at a Walt Disney World resort now get FREE admission to a Disney water park on their arrival day only! But should you take advantage of it or just chill at the resort pool?

➡️ Let’s break it down:

👍 Resort pools are super convenient, relaxing, and a great way to ease into vacation mode. 👎 But…not all have slides, and none can match the thrill of a full-blown water park. 🚨 If you’re staying at a Value Resort, seriously consider this perk. Even with just a few hours (if you arrive late morning or early afternoon), at a water park you get access to slides, wave pools, lazy rivers, and a whole new part of Walt Disney World you might not otherwise visit. 😳 Tickets are about $80 per person, so if Disney is giving you a freebie, why not take it?

My thoughts? Take the perk! 🤩 Kick off the trip with a little pixie dust, enjoy the magic of a water park, and I’ll help you strategize your arrival day so you maximize the fun without feeling rushed. 😎 Sound good or are you just going to park yourself by the pool instead? 👙🩳Whatever you decide, pack the swimsuits in the carry-on bag!

🧑‍🧑‍🧒Parents, 🫵 you deserve a magical getaway—even if work has to come with you. 👩‍💻🫤 The good news? Some Disney resorts make it easier to balance work and fun more than others. While all Disney resorts have quiet spaces, some come with unique advantages. Here are my top six Disney resorts for working parents at all price points:

• 🎠 Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa – Elegant, peaceful, and just one monorail stop to Magic Kingdom.

🖼️ Disney’s Riviera Resort – Gorgeous work spaces, Skyliner access to EPCOT & Hollywood Studios, and a quiet European charm.

🚝 Disney’s Contemporary Resort – Sleek, modern, tons of space to work and you can walk to Magic Kingdom or monorail to EPCOT.

⛱️ Disney’s Yacht/Beach Club – Plenty of workspaces and perfect for work-by-the-pool vibes at Stormalong Bay pool!

🏝️ Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort - Laid back atmosphere, Skyliner access and several indoor/outdoor workspaces

🎳 Disney’s Pop Century Resort - In-room workspace (fold up that murphy bed for an instant desk), Skyliner access to return the fun ASAP at EPCOT & Hollywood Studios.
