Today’s Disney adventure is a little different — I’m heading to all 4 parks with almost no plans!

That’s right… no packed schedule, no set-in-stone reservations — just me, a MagicBand, and the magic leading the way. The only must-do on my list? A stop at Animal Kingdom to see Basko, the adorable baby Sumatran tiger! He’s growing so fast and I can't wait to check in on him — he’s seriously one of the highlights of Animal Kingdom right now. I'm on my way to go see him as I type this! 🐯

Sometimes the best Disney days are the spontaneous ones — follow along in my stories to see how the day unfolds!

I promise I'll be back with more photos, but I'm going mental health break from thinking about Epic Universe for a couple of days (if you know, you know—check out my last post for the why).

So for now, I’ve hit pause on that whirlwind and popped over to Walt Disney World for a mini trip to soak in some of my favorite things. Sometimes a dose of Disney magic is exactly what the heart needs. 💖🏰

More joy, less overthinking.

I know I said I’d post more yesterday, but after that experience, I had a day that was less than epic.

As a plus-sized woman (size 18/20 or 2X), I was disappointed to find I couldn’t fit on several rides at Epic Universe — including Stardust Racers, Curse of the Werewolf, Monsters Unchained, and Dragon Racers Rally.

Each of these rides had test seats out front, which is very helpful, but trying them publicly is never easy. Team members were kind, when when the light turned red over and over again instead of green, I still walked away feeling excluded.

The average American woman wears a size 16/18 — yet many rides still aren’t designed with that in mind. For a park that is brand new, more attractions should reflect the real diversity of the guests who visit them.

That said: Epic Universe is absolutely stunning. The theming is next-level. The food is creative and delicious. The entertainment is top-notch. The attractions I was able to get on were fantastic. There is so much to enjoy — even if not every ride is an option.

As a travel advisor, I’m here to help you plan with honesty and confidence.The park is still wonderful, but just may not be as accessible for everyone as I would have liked. I’ll still be sharing all about the park — the beauty, the thrills, and how to make the most of it — but I also want to make sure plus-sized travelers feel informed and supported. You deserve magic too.

Its-a-ME… living my best life in Super Nintendo World!

Stepping into this land is like jumping straight into the game—warp pipes, ? blocks, power-ups, and the coolest interactive elements everywhere you turn.

From racing through Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge 🏁 to exploring Princess Peach’s Castle 👑, every inch of this place is packed with nostalgia and next-level tech. The colors are bold, the music is iconic, and yes—I 100% fist-punched a ? block. (Dreams DO come true.)

Whether you grew up with Mario or still play today, this world is pure magic for gamers and kids-at-heart. 🎮🌈

We took a stroll through Universal’s CityWalk and couldn’t resist stopping for milkshakes at Toothsome Chocolate Emporium—SO worth it!

CityWalk is the perfect place to soak up the energy of Universal Orlando without even stepping into the parks. From the vibrant atmosphere to the endless dining and entertainment options, it’s a must-do.

Whether you're grabbing a sweet treat, catching live music, or just taking in the views, CityWalk brings the fun all day (and night) long.

Have you ever been to CityWalk? What’s your favorite stop?

✈️ I'm just about Orlando-bound! I've got my caffeine in hand (courtesy of the new Uncommon Grounds that just opened up here at the airport) with suitcase full of theme park essentials, and my excitement level is through the roof! 🚀✨

I’m officially on my way to Universal Orlando Resort for an exclusive travel agent preview of Epic Universe, and I can’t wait to take you along for the ride.

Stay tuned—next stop: adventure! 💫🎢

📦✨ I’ve got all the essentials packed for an unforgettable journey through space, fantasy, and epic adventure! 🚀🌍🧙‍♂️

Tomorrow I’m heading to Orlando bright and early to get ready for my exclusive day at Epic Universe—Universal Orlando Resorts’ brand-new theme park! 🎢

I get asked all the time what I bring for a day in the parks, so here are my tried-and-true must-haves for staying prepared and powered up:

🔋 Charging Bank + Short Phone Cord - Nearly everything runs through the park apps these days—checking wait times, mobile ordering, virtual queues, and of course capturing magical moments! I never head out without a backup charger.

💧 Refillable Water Bottle - Florida heat is no joke. Staying hydrated is key to a fun and safe park day. I always bring a bottle I can refill throughout the day, and often extra dehydration packets juuuuust in case that I can pop in them if I need.

💊 Advil - Let’s be real… I’m not a kid anymore. I usually take one in the morning and again after lunch to keep those theme park aches and pains at bay.

🩹 Band-Aids + Blister Pads - You never know when a hot spot will strike. Walking all day means being ready for anything!

🧼 Hand Sanitizer - Because… 2020 taught us well.

🌧️ Poncho - Florida weather loves to surprise you. I always pack at least one poncho—rain will never ruin my fun!

These are just a few of the items I’ll have with me while exploring Epic Universe this week—and I can't wait to bring you along!

Now I need your help - which land are you most excited to see?
✨ Celestial Park
🍄 Super Nintendo World
🧛 Dark Universe
🐉 Isle of Berk – How to Train Your Dragon
⚡ The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic

I LOVE a good tradition, and one that I've always wanted to see in person includes heading to Chicago for St. Patrick's Day. Every year, the Windy City dyes the Chicago River a vibrant emerald green to celebrate this festive holiday. It's a must-see experience that's equal parts tradition and spectacle!🍀

The river dyeing usually happens the Saturday before St. Patrick's Day at around 10 a.m. The best viewing spots are along the Riverwalk or on the bridges at Michigan Avenue, Columbus Drive, or Wabash Avenue. My colleague sent me this photo just shortly after it had been completed this past Saturday.

💧 How Do They Do It? The tradition dates back to 1962 when plumbers used a special, eco-friendly dye to detect leaks in the river system. The vibrant green result inspired city officials to turn it into a St. Patrick's Day tradition! The formula is a closely guarded secret, but it's 100% safe for the environment.

🎉 Pro Tip: Arrive early to grab a great spot, and consider booking a river cruise for a front-row seat to this iconic event. Pair it with some classic Chicago deep-dish pizza, and you'll have the ultimate St. Paddy's Day experience!

🌟 I've always wanted to go see this in person one year — and I can help you plan your trip to make it happen, too! Let's talk about planning to see it in person in 2026 - it's never too early to start planning! 💚

🍀 Happy St. Patrick's Day! 🍀

Today we celebrate all things Irish — from lively parades and shamrocks to the rich history and stunning landscapes of the Emerald Isle! 💚

Visiting Ireland is high on my bucket list, and I can’t wait to make that dream a reality one day! Fun fact — I was even gifted a parcel of land in Kerry, and I can’t wait to visit it and take in the breathtaking scenery that Ireland is known for. From the rugged coastline of the Cliffs of Moher to the charming streets of Dublin, there’s so much to explore!

If you've been to Ireland, I’d love to hear your must-see spots! Or, if you're dreaming of going like I am, what’s at the top of your list?

Sláinte! 🍻

🪲💔 Goodbye, It’s Tough to Be a Bug! 💔🪲

Another piece of Disney magic is saying farewell, and this one sure bugged its way into our hearts. It’s Tough to Be a Bug! opened on April 22, 1998 — Animal Kingdom’s opening day — and has been entertaining guests ever since from its iconic home inside the Tree of Life. 🌳✨

For over 25 years, Flik, Hopper, and their insect friends have taught us that bugs are more than just pests — they’re an essential part of our world! Whether you laughed at the “stink bug” gag, jumped when Hopper appeared, or squirmed when those creepy crawlies “moved” under your seat, this 3D show was a memorable mix of humor, surprises, and a touch of Disney magic. 🐜🕷️🐞

This was always one of my favorite things to bring people to who had never seen it before, knowing what was coming and surprising them when they found out why I brought them there! 😂 Plus, being able to get up and the detail in the Tree of Life that closely was always amazing to see.

Did you brave the bugs on your visits? Share your favorite memories below! ⬇️
