🦇If you live for spooky season, have I got the place for you. Universal’s Epic Universe has a year-round land that’s like a Halloween Horror Nights-lite! Dark Universe, the portal devoted to all things monsters and macabre, has all the creepy atmosphere without the jump scares and outright gore. It’s just scary enough and ideal for anyone that:

🕷️Is “dying to” go to Halloween Horror Nights, but can’t travel in the fall.

🕷️Loves the twisted/macabre, but are traveling with littles

🕷️Wants that “scary but not terrifying” experience

🐦‍⬛Think foggy pathways, disturbing visuals, creepy characters and classic monster stories woven into the attractions and dining spots.

As we get closer to Halloween, this area is going to become increasingly popular, including the Monster Makeover experience, so hit me up to get your visit on the books! Lindasdreamvacations.com

Look delish or like a little too much?

On this National Lottery Day, let’s dream big! If you won the lottery or a Vegas jackpot, where would you plan to go first?

A European River Cruise?

The Walt Disney Suite on Disney Cruise Line?

A Bungalow in Bora Bora?

An African Safari Adventure?

I love a good Disney Cruise! I would probably go on a cruise around Hawaii! I would especially like to go on the excursion to see Pearl Harbor. I have been on the Wonder before when i went to Alaska. The ship is a perfect size, not too big and not too small! Another spot i would like to go to is Disneyland Paris!

Now it’s your turn! Where would you go if you hit the jackpot? Let’s fill the comments with our travel dreams! And just know, wherever it is, and whenever you’re ready to go, I would be thrilled to help you plan it!

🐶I know for so many of us, pets aren’t ‘just pets.’ They’re family. And family trips should include… well, family. For many families, a vacation isn’t complete without their four‑legged best friend. And while boarding or a sitter works for some, I know others just can’t imagine leaving their pup behind.🐾

Walt Disney World offers several solutions for guests who want their pups nearby during their trip.

Dog‑friendly Resorts: Select resorts, like Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, Port Orleans Riverside, and a few others, offer pet‑friendly rooms with designated walking areas and special amenities. Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground even has its own dog park!

On‑property Boarding: If you prefer not to keep your dog in the room with you, Best Friends Pet Care (across from Port Orleans Riverside) offers boarding, day camp, and even grooming, so your dog gets their own vacation too.

How do you care for your fur babies when it’s Disney time?

Some questions come with answers you may not want to hear, like this one. Will I regret not having Universal Express Pass? Probably. Well, most likely. OK, yes.
This ticket enhancement can really level up your entire experience. If time is money, and Express Pass cuts your wait time by about half of standby, then by that logic, it’s worth the splurge. Not to mention, Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure is now part of the program!

But here’s where working with me is key! There are a couple of different options to choose from AND some resort stays come with Unlimited Express Pass INCLUDED for Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure. Plus, there are always split stays and other strategies to implement. Universal Orlando Resort is generally easy to tour, but on the planning side, it gets a little tricky. Especially when trying to both stick to a budget and not feel like you did.

If you’ve been to Universal Orlando before, are you team Pay for Express Pass or Go Standby and Save?

Want to feel like you’ve out‑smarted the crowds? Here’s one of my favorite strategies. What if I told you to intentionally plan to visit Magic Kingdom on a day that the park closes at 6pm?? Crazy right? This is a strategy ideal for party days (like Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party) because the early closing deters a lot of people with base tickets from burning up a day at Magic Kingdom that’s abbreviated. Therefore, the park is way less crowded throughout the day than usual.
We have done this a few times when we have gone in November, and the park is closing early for the Christmas party. We did not need lightning lanes for Magic Kingdom.
Even if you do have base tickets, you can accomplish SO much before 6pm and your day doesn’t have to be over-over.
You can hit up Disney Springs and see a movie, go bowling or miniature golfing. You can resort hop to check out where you might stay next. Or you can enjoy some time at your own resort.
