If you’ve booked at one of Walt Disney World's EPCOT-area resorts, your resort day just got more interesting! There's a new reason to spend an afternoon or evening exploring Disney's BoardWalk.

Hurly-Burly has games, live entertainment, cocktails and shareable bites (oooh...those warm pretzels) to a nostalgic seaside theater that fits RIGHT into the BoardWalk's old-fashioned atmosphere.

From 4 to 9 PM, families can enjoy hosted trivia and games. After 9 PM, it becomes a 21-and-over lounge with live music until 1 AM.

If you're staying at Disney's BoardWalk Inn, Beach Club or Yacht Club, this is practically in your backyard, so no need to travel all the way to Disney Springs for a little entertainment. And if you are not, it's accessible by Skyliner from your resort or after some fun at Hollywood Studios or Epcot to enjoy your evening.

So what do you think? Would you spend an afternoon with the family or party with the adults into the night?

Happy 14th Anniversary to Brad!

14 years ago we got married and then went on a honeymoon to Disney World! While there we decided last minute to splurge on Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party and had a great time. In 15 days we finally are going to be bringing the kids to the party! Can't wait to relive it with my favorite little people!

Got a sports fanatic in your travel party? If you spend a lot of time at the field, court side or in front of the TV cheering on your team (or your kids), I've got some ideas for making your next Walt Disney World vacation a winner for EVERYBODY.

For starters, there's Disney's All-Star Sports Resort, where giant football helmets, basketball hoops and baseball-themed decor make sports part of the vacation from the moment you check in. Huge WOW factor here!

Disney also has several golf courses, FootGolf, miniature golf, fishing excursions and more.

Traveling with one of those people that absolutely cannot miss any of their team's games? Rix Sports Bar & Grill at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort and City Works at Disney Springs are terrific spots to catch the action over a meal.

See? Nobody has to give up what they love and I can help you make room for ALL of it in your vacation plans!

This is a LOT of food for the money. If you're feeding a family at Universal Orlando Resort, I've got a pretty delicious recommendation. The Great Feast at Three Broomsticks in Hogsmeade serves FOUR people for $74.99! We're talking rotisserie smoked chicken, spareribs, corn on the cob, roasted vegetables and potatoes.

And you get to eat inside The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. How's THAT for a family dinner?

Happy Halloween! Let's see those costumes!

Christmas nostalgia...but make it 80 degrees. Remember watching those enormous balloons float through New York City on TV every Thanksgiving and thinking it was the coolest thing EVER? Universal Orlando Resort gives you that feeling IN REAL LIFE. Giant balloons. Elaborate floats. Christmas music. Santa Claus. It’s pretty amazing!

This is what my kids are looking forward to the most on our trip. Is Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade a tradition in your house?

Pack the backup outfit. Adults walk through Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana and think, “Well, that was cute.” Little kids see WATER THEY ARE ALLOWED TO PLAY WITH. Completely different experience.

The trail is self-guided, so kids can explore at their own pace, interact with the water and learn how it travels from the sky to the ocean and back again. And on one of those blazing-hot EPCOT afternoons, it’s THE place to be.

My advice if you're traveling with little ones: don't rush them through if you can avoid it.

There’s no thrill ride here and no app needed. It’s just the wonder of nature inside Disney’s most future-forward theme park and it’s perfect!

So...are you going all in or choosing the dry path?

Two months til Christmas, how about gift a trip to Alaska under your tree!

You're sailing through some absolutely spectacular scenery with opportunities to see wildlife like whales, eagles, bears, seals and sea otters depending on where your adventures take you.

Ports can include Juneau, Skagway, Icy Straight Point and Ketchikan, with glacier viewing built right into the itinerary.

And then there's this part: cruising somewhere COLD makes things extra cozy! Throw on a sweatshirt, grab a hot drink and watch Alaska pass by from the ship.

Disney currently has TWO ships headed there from Vancouver for summer 2027. Message me or email me at [email protected] and let’s work on getting you on one of them!

Italy without the airfare? If your perfect vacation includes a plate of pasta after a day of roller coasters, may I suggest a stay at Loews Portofino Bay Hotel?

Italian-inspired restaurants, cobblestone streets, waterfront cafés and Universal Orlando Resort right outside your door. They also have delicious gelato served here for a sweet treat.

Who's ready to say “buongiorno!” to Universal?
