🙏🏻🌧️🙏🏻 We can plead “Rain, rain, go away…” but what if it won’t?

Rain is a near-daily guest in central Florida, but it rarely sticks around all day. Even during a downpour, your Disney day doesn’t have to be a washout. Here are a few of my favorite ways to make the most of it:

⭐️Resort Hopping: Resort hopping is SO fun and is a great way to scope out new resorts for your next trip. Some even have their own scavenger hunts!

⭐️Monorail Tour: This is a classic Disney attraction (it’s not just a mode of transportation). Stop for snacks or drinks at Grand Floridian, Polynesian, or Contemporary.

⭐️Skyliner Ride: As long as there’s no lightning or heavy wind, pick up a Skyliner Scavenger Hunt and explore!

⭐️Hit the Parks: Pack ponchos, extra socks, and go! Rain = lower crowds and sometimes...the best memories!

⭐️Disney Springs: Bowl at Splitsville, catch a movie, or splurge on Drawn to Life by Cirque du Soleil.

🚫 Get it out of your head that rain is going to cancel the magic because it just changes the mood! 😎

😴Whether you are the type of person who NEEDS their sleep to function or the kind who believes if you’re not at rope drop every day why bother, you still need to plan for a Walt Disney World vacation! Absolutely vacation YOUR way, but trust me when I say, you want me to share ⭐️MY way⭐️ to tour the parks with you (sorry, this trade secret is for my booked guests only 😉)! But I have to know...are you a rope drop every day or forget it person? Do you get to the parks “whenever”? Or do you have a balance of theme park commando and easy breezy days?

💥Truth bomb💥 I very rarely recommend guests visiting Walt Disney World stay in a Good Neighbor Hotel. The experience IS different, the savings aren’t always so great, the transportation is tedious and the full scale magical immersion is certainly missing. 🫣 However, a visit to Disneyland is a horse of a different color altogether. Often times, Disneyland Good Neighbor Hotels are right across the street from the parks, are less than half the cost and offer spacious rooms with great amenities. 🤑 Saving loads of money while still being able to fall out of your room into the parks is a win-win!

🫧🏰🫧 Off property at Disneyland can still feel like you’re inside the bubble. If you want a quote or to know more about the Good Neighbor packages hit me up!
