Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party

Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party

Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party

When it comes to holidays everyone has their favorites, and Disney does them all. In fact, the holidays are usually peak times for Disney travel and for good reason. Walt Disney World seems to grab hold of the very essence of the Holiday and completely run with it. Halloween is no different. Growing up in south Louisiana this was always one of my favorite holidays, in part because fall meant cooler weather was on the way, but the rest I have to blame on my parents. Halloween was always the one holiday that they went all out. Decorations, candy, and costumes were just the start. Halloween night at our house was theatrics at its best. This was reason enough for Halloween to become one of my favorite holidays and one of my favorite times to go to Disney, for much of the same reason.

2018 Menu for the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival

August 2nd, 2018

The 2018 Menu for the Epcot Food and Wine Festival has been released, and I am so excited.  The food and wine festival is one of my absolutely favorite things at Walt Disney World. Between the cooking demos, the tastings,
the Eat to Beat Concert Series, and so much more this is something you do not want to miss. Every year the festival expands and is better than ever, and this year is no exception. The festival begins on August 30th and runs until November 12th. You will be able to taste your way around the world with an endless selection of food and beverages from over 30 marketplaces. Let’s get through a few things you need to know and then we will jump into the 2018 menu of food and drinks.

See You at Ohana!

See You at Ohana!

July 23rd, 2018

To any who know me it’s fairly obvious of where I rank good food on the hierarchy of important things. For those of you who don’t know me, well it’s pretty high up there. I love food. I can plan my entire week around good food. So it should come to no surprise that I am very big on Disney dining. It is one of my favorite things about planning our Disney trips (also the same as baseball stadiums but that’s another blog in itself.). I try to mix in my favorites while always trying to catch something new.

MyMagic+, MagicBands, and How They Work!

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.

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, 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.

Aulani, It’s in the Details!

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.

Disney Cruise Line Summer 2019

Disney Cruise Line Summer 2019

March 1st, 2018

It is no secret, I love Disney Cruise Line. I have been on other cruise lines and have had a great time. I would go back on other cruise lines. In fact, let me use this time to shamelessly plug the fact that I can book all the other cruise lines! 😉 Back on topic, for my family, I believe Disney Cruise Line is the best option for cruising with my whole family. So as you can imagine anytime new itineraries are released I get excited. Disney Cruise Line Summer 2019 itineraries are coming out in a few days, and some of the itineraries sound amazing.
