Did you know you can book a WDW vacation before or after a cruise?!
Have you ever looked around as Flight of Passage starts to see what the ride actually looks like?
It always excites me and makes me go “wow” for the genius of the Imagineers!!
It really is not fun being the only one in the fam who doesn’t like heights… between this and the skyliner I’m an anxiety filled disaster 😂😂😂
Anyone else relate? Drop a 😂 below.

Just pause before coming after me 😂😂
I love Mexico, I really do! But I also love the UK.
The UK is actually my favorite, and it’s right next to Canada!!
UK is home to
🌂Mary Poppins
🫖quaint tea shops
👑 Rose and Crown (and their drinks!!)
🛏️ a Pooh photo op in Christopher Robins bedroom
☎️ red phone-booth
🎸 some pretty amazing bands who jam in the gazebo!
What’s your favorite country in the world showcase?
What can I say? I love to sing in general, but add the magic of Disney and the childlike excitement I get when I’m there, forget it, I’m a singing and skipping maniac 😉
Send this to the person who sings and skips around Disney so they know they’re among friends 😉!
Let me know if you too like to make up songs that narrate your Disney adventures 🥰
While there are exceptions to this rule (depending on what resort you are staying at and what time of day) most buses typically go from resort to park, or park to park, not from resort to resort!
What does that mean? That means if you want to do a WDW resort hopping day that involves going to multiple resorts/ locations to check out decor/restaurants etc. that are not on the monorail or sky liner, then you will (in most cases) have to make your way to a park/Disney Springs and bus your way over to the resort!
All the fun facts!!!
At my job last year, my co-worker and I would Disney Bound every Wednesday and have each other try and guess who we were!
Who do you think we bounded as?
🛳️ Cruising anytime soon?
Did you know that your stateroom door hold magnets?!!
We didn’t when we went and we were sooo jealous of how cute so many stateroom doors were!!!
From Amazon, to Etsy, the cruise shops you can get them (you can even order personalized ones from some Etsy shops!!).
Choose your theme and decorate your door!!
What do you think? Yay or too much?
If you can’t physically be at Disney you can at least revisit the memories 🥹
Afraid you’re going to forget? Make sure to save and send to a friend!! 😉
How many of these steps do you follow?
The question I get asked the most from my first time clients is “How much does it cost to go to Disney?”
Here is the short answer.
It all depends on your budget.
If you are looking to go to Disney for a family of four for
5 nights/ 6 days with 3 base day tickets in the park- you can go to WDW for less than $3000.
How?
✨look at staying at the All Star resorts
✨getting base day tickets for the amount of park days you want.
✨Don’t do any extra add ons (Memory Make/ Dining plan etc.)
✨eat at Quick Service restaurants.
If there is a promo- it could be less!

One of my clients asked me if concierge was worth it?
Here's what I said:
⛵️✨ Sailing at concierge level on a Disney Cruise is a bucket list item for me!!
It's expensive, not going to lie, but here's why, if it's in your budget, it's worth it:
- Exclusive access to the Concierge Lounge: Think personalized service and complimentary refreshments/cocktails and drinks (during certain times).
- Priority boarding and disembarkation: No getting up at midnight to secure early boarding groups.
- Dedicated concierge team: Attentive professionals ensuring your every need is met, from booking shore excursions to arranging special celebrations. Think of it as having your own Baileywick and crew!
-VIP experiences: Enjoy reserved seating at shows, priority dining reservations, and access to exclusive events.
Important/Other things to know:
-Deposits are non-refundable.
-You must pay in full earlier than you would for non-concierge rooms.
-Travel protection must be paid upfront upon booking and paying your deposit. Unlike your standard cruise staterooms, this cannot be added after you make your deposit.
What questions do you have about sailing concierge?

So excited for these sweet families! Sailing on the Wonder through Alaska’s Icy Point Strait the summer of 2025 (and in concierge 🥹). It’s going to be a trip filled with memories!
