🎄They are already up
🦃 After Thanksgiving
🤩 Will be anyday now!

Lots of announcements this week, and here’s another exciting one!

Packages for November and December 2025 at Disney World are now available!

I absolutely love Disney World during the holidays—the decorations, special events, and festive atmosphere make it truly magical. There’s just something about seeing Main Street lit up for the holidays that always feels like a warm hug!

The best part? You can lock in your vacation with just a $200 refundable deposit (which goes straight to Disney!), and you can set up a payment plan to spread out the cost—all the way until 30 days before your trip!

It’s official! January 17th-February 24th are dates for Epcot’s International Festival of the Arts, and I’m so excited! One of my favorite parts of the festival is discovering the new Disney art throughout the park—both hidden gems and incredible pieces on display. It’s always a fun adventure to see what’s new each year!

If you love art or want to experience Disney in a unique way, this festival is a must-do. Who else is excited for the 2024 dates? Let me know in the comments!

Big News! Starting tomorrow, I can officially book vacations to Universal’s Epic Universe!

Opening May 22, this park is going to be a dream come true for thrill-seekers and families. And can we talk about the new Harry Potter area? The Wizarding World is already incredible, and I can’t wait to see how this new addition takes the experience to a whole new level!

If you’re a Potter fan like me, you’ll definitely want to be one of the first to check it out. Message me to book your spot for this epic adventure!

NEW ADDITION TO DISNEY’S LIGHTNING LANES!

Disney just announced a new service, the Lightning Lane Premier Pass! This allows you to enter Lightning Lanes WITHOUT having to book return times in your app! This service will only be available for guests in the Deluxe or Deluxe Villa Resort categories.

This is an awesome service but keep in mind, this is a LUXURY service, so the pricing is steep. I will share the sample pricing that has been introduced below. Let me know what questions or thoughts you have as I we prepare for the service to go live!!

- Animal Kingdom: $129 to $199 per person
- EPCOT: $169 to $249 per person
- Hollywood Studios: $269 to $349 per person
- Magic Kingdom: $329 to $449 per person

If this seems like a bit of a splurge for you, make sure you have an experienced travel advisor (like me!) to help you create an awesome park strategy without having to break the bank with the Lightning Lane Premier Pass!

While we know and love Perfect Day at Coco Cay, it’s time to welcome a second Perfect Day to the party! 🌊☀️

**Top 5 Tips for First-Time Visitors to Disney World **

2022: This definitely wasn’t MY first time, but it was my first time as a family of four! Each time is a new adventure with new learnings..I love sharing my tips and tricks with my Clients!

Here are my top 5 tips to make your 1st visit magical:

1. **Start Early**: Arrive at the parks before opening to beat the crowds and enjoy popular attractions with shorter wait times.

2. **Use the My Disney Experience App**: This app is your best friend! From booking dining reservations to checking wait times, it makes navigating the parks a breeze.

3. **Take midday breaks**: Florida can get hot and kids can get cranky. Plan accordingly and rest (or check out your resort pool) during the heat of the day.

4. **Plan Your Must-Dos**: Prioritize 2-3 attractions or experiences you can’t miss each day. This helps you stay focused and enjoy what matters most to you.

5. **Embrace the Magic**: Don’t stress about doing everything. Soak in the atmosphere, enjoy the parades, and make memories with your loved ones.

🚢 GETTING UPGRADED ON ROYAL CARIBBEAN🚢

I recently bid to upgrade from a Balcony to a One-Bedroom Grand Suite with concierge services—and I won! I can’t wait to enjoy the amenities of Sky Class—on a regular budget 😜

Here’s how it works:

1. **Bid:** After booking, you might get an email inviting you to bid on an upgrade, from Ocean View to Suites.
2. **Choose:** You set the bid amount, and if accepted, you’ll be upgraded at a fraction of the usual cost.
3. **Wait:** Any where from 45 days to hours before your cruise, you'll find out if you’ve won the upgrade.

If you’re interested in trying Royal Up on your next Royal Caribbean cruise, let’s chat! I’d love to help you get the best experience possible.
