Huge news from Epic Universe today!

Express pass now includes Battle at the Ministry AND Minecart Madness!

These are the two most popular rides in the park. When I went last weekend, I waited over an hour for both of them, and we had early entry so this is for sure a huge upgrade!

Contact me today to get planning!

Back to reality this morning! Got back from Universal's Stella Nova resort and Epic Universe late last night. It was so amazing! The worlds they have created at Epic, are well, EPIC! I was so impressed with all of the little details. And the rides...OMG! So fun!

We stayed just across the street from Epic Universe. It is a 10 minute walk or a 5 minute bus ride to the park which was very convenient! The resort was amazing and has everything we needed. I highly recommend it if you are planning on going to Epic this fall.

Let me know how I can help you get there and experience all that Epic Universe has to offer!

For those that have been here already, where in the Epic Universe am I?

As if we needed another reason to stay deluxe at Walt Disney World, the Minnie Van service is expanding to the Orlando International Airport!

That's right! If you are staying at a Deluxe resort beginning on August 13th (that's tomorrow!) you can now book a Minnie Van to take you to and from MCO up to 60 days in advance!

Minnie Van's are a stylish way to get around the Walt Disney World property and offer seating for up to 6 people along with 2 complimentary child seats!

Just a reminder for everyone, I will be out of the office exploring both Volcano Bay and Epic Universe this weekend!

As always, I will work on any quote requests as soon as I get back on Tuesday, August 19th!

If there is anything you want to see while I’m at Universal, please let me know!

Traveling with little ones isn't always easy, but some of the meltdowns can be mitigated with some simple tricks! 👇👇👇

⭐Bring snacks! Dry cereal, apple sauce pouches, and snack bars are always a hit with the little ones when they get hangry!
⭐Cooling fans, cooling towels and spending as much time inside as possible! Little ones overheat quicker than adults do and making them comfortable in the Florida heat can help with tantrums!
⭐Let them lead the day! Allowing kids to let you know when it's time for a mid-afternoon break at the resort can help with mid-day meltdowns too! Plus, you get some time to enjoy all the amenities at your resort!
⭐Don't push your kids into interactions they don't want to be a part of! Let the picture below be a lesson for you...kids don't always like the characters!
⭐WATER WATER WATER! Another lesson that I've learned the hard way is to make sure to stay away from the sugary soft drinks and push water as much as possible!

Just booked! This time, it's for a personal trip! I am meeting longtime friends to go to Halloween Horror Nights this October! Can't wait for all the spooky decorations and thrilling haunted houses this year! Especially psyched for Five Nights at Freddy's!

29/07/2025

To say I’m excited about this one is an understatement!

You wouldn’t last one night at Freddy's, let alone five. You’ll be hunted by deadly animatronics Freddy, Bonnie, Chica and Foxy. All tickets are now on sale: http://spr.ly/6188frPdO
