MyMagic+, MagicBands, and How They Work!

July 17th, 2018

MyMagic+ is taking your Walt Disney World Vacation to new levels. We wanted to give you a rundown on how to make the most of the MyMagic+ system. Take a look at some of the benefits of using the MyMagic+ system.

 

Online Planning:

Once your travel agent has booked your trip, you can go to the online system and link your reservations. If you are working with a travel professional who does your dining you should be able to see all of your dining reservations there as well, (if you don’t see it contact your travel professional so they can get them manually linked) if you are booking dining yourself you can do it right from that site. This is also where you will pre-select your FastPass+, more about that below.

Disney Cruise Line, For the Entire Family

Disney Cruise Line, For the Entire Family

July 10th, 2018

Often we are asked about cruises and met with the same reoccurring doubts and fears. “I don’t think I would like being on a boat that long”. “I’d go stir-crazy”. “Don’t you run out of stuff to do?” “No way I could get my husband on that”. “Is there a lot for kids to do?” Or the famous “my friend went on a cruise and they hated it”. All of which are legitimate fears and concerns because after all, you want your vacations to be “worth it”. And to me, cruises are totally worth it. In fact, I believe that cruises can be the best bang for your buck when it comes to travel. For what you get to see and do sometimes its hard to go wrong with at cruise but here is where all those questions come in.

Hidden Gems at Disney

Hidden Gems at Disney

May 28th, 2018

Hidden right in front of your eyes may be some of Disney’s best-kept secrets. It’s one of the things I love and appreciate so much about it. It is easy to get lost in the grander that is Disney, but for me, it’s the small touches that are right there under your nose that the majority of people probably overlook. For instance, have you ever noticed the peanut shells in the concrete near Dumbo’s Circus? What about the 13 lanterns hanging in the Liberty Tree to represent the original 13 colonies. Or the approximate 320 animals that make up the tree of life. I am not even going to try to give an approximate number of hidden Mickey’s in the parks and resorts.

Star Wars Jedi Training

Jedi Training

It’s hard to deny that the pairing of The Walt Disney Co. and The Star Wars franchise was destined to be a powerhouse and no pun intended a “force” to be reckoned with. (Honesty that was not meant to be as bad of a joke as it came out, but I’m going with it anyway). Now I’m just going to sit here a while some of you imagine kicking my teeth in for saying such a thing. However, regardless of what you think about what Disney and Star Wars have accomplished, and/or tragically ruined on the big screen.

Flight of Passage, Inside Pandora – The World of Avatar

Flight of passage Pandora the world of Avatar

I am going to start this out by saying that Flight of Passage is the best attraction that Disney has ever done. I’m usually the “count me out” kinda guy when it comes to rides. Though I have come a long way, I still would not consider me a thrill seeker by any stretch of the imagination. In fact on this particular trip when everyone else was excited about spending the day in Universal I decided to take my talents to the golf course instead.

We’ve all heard the saying that Disney is for kids. You may have even been told that personally as I know I have.

With over 35 booths spread around the 11 countries in the World Showcase at Epcot, Food & Wine is a delightful culinary and spirits experience that you will not soon forget.

Aulani, It’s in the Details!

Aulani, It’s in the Details!

One of my favorite parts about Disney is the attention to details in everything. Disney is a company that is an expert at storytelling and that expertise doesn’t just end with great movies it overflows into all aspects of the company, you see it in the parks and the resorts even on the cruise lines. The same is true at Aulani, A Disney Resort, and Spa on the great Island of Oahu. The word Aulani translates to “messenger of a chief,” It expresses a connection to tradition and deep story-telling. Join me as I can only skim the surface of the beauty and wonders of this amazing resort and culture of the Hawaiian people.
