POV: You’re a Disney Travel Advisor on the 60-day mark to book all dining. ☕️🏰✨
Two families are headed to Walt Disney World for Jersey Week in November… and this morning, it was GO TIME.
⏰ 5:00 AM — Alarm goes off.
Get up. Get ready. Coffee is a MUST. ☕️
📋 5:15 AM — Review both families’ plans.
Dining wishes. Special experiences. Park days. Priorities. Backup plans. Everything gets checked one more time.
💻 5:40 AM — Log in. Get everything ready.
👀 5:50 AM — Refresh.
🔄 5:51 AM — Refresh.
🔄 5:52 AM — Refresh.
🔄 5:53 AM — Refresh.
You get the idea… 😂
⏰ 5:59 AM — One more sip of coffee and
🚨 6:00 AM — GO TIME!
And then… the Disney magic started coming together. ✨

And YES… we got them!
This is one of my favorite parts of being a Disney travel advisor.
It’s not just clicking “book.” It’s knowing what matters most to each family, being ready when that booking window opens, navigating the madness, and celebrating when everything comes together.
Because someday, these families will be standing in front of Cinderella’s Castle, meeting their favorite characters, or watching the fireworks…
…and they’ll have no idea that their Disney magic started at 5:00 AM in New Jersey. ❤️🏰✨
That’s the behind-the-scenes part of my job you don’t always see.
And honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way. 💙
