Day 4✨

Started with Early Entry and rope drop at Magic Kingdom before hopping on a boat to Wilderness Lodge for some much-needed girl time (and Wade time 🤣)!

Lunch at Whispering Canyon Café was a blast, and YES, we asked for more ketchup! Spent some time hanging out by the water and got a look at the new Disney Lakeshore Lodge under construction. That thing is HUGE!

Sadly, all good trips must come to an end, but the memories are coming home with me!

Stay tuned because I have LOTS more Disney content coming your way! ✨

Day 4: Girls Day at Magic Kingdom!

Started the morning watching the incredible jellyfish cloud rocket launch before rope dropping Magic Kingdom with Hannah and her daughter! Knocked out 4 rides before 9 AM! Grabbed brunch at Gaston’s before meeting up with Brianna for a few more rides and photos.

Later, Brianna and I checked out the new lounge inside Diamond Horseshoe, and it did not disappoint! Great margaritas and even better food. Those tostadas were amazing!

After a much-needed afternoon nap break, it was back to Magic Kingdom for Starlight, Happily Ever After, and a few more rides to end another great Disney day!

✨ Disney Day 3: EPCOT & Hollywood Studios✨

Started the day at EPCOT, where I FINALLY got 2 of the 3 songs I was still missing on Guardians of the Galaxy! Did some pin trading, met a few rare characters roaming around, and got to ride Figment with Hannah and her family! I also squeezed in Test Track and some delicious bites around World Showcase for Food & W**e before taking a much-needed nap!

Then it was off to Hollywood Studios! I had dinner at Hollywood & Vine for Minnie’s Halloween Dine, complete with characters in their adorable Halloween costumes!

An earlier night tonight because tomorrow is a FULL Magic Kingdom day! 🏰✨

✨Disney Day 2: Animal Kingdom, Sangria & Halloween at Magic Kingdom! ✨

First stop: Disney’s Animal Kingdom!

Rope dropped the park and packed in so much! Watched the newer Zootopia: Better Zoogether! show, met Nick and Judy, and headed out on Kilimanjaro Safaris, where I got to see BOTH babies—the giraffe AND the elephant! 🥹

Did I chicken out of Expedition Everest? Absolutely. 😂 But I made up for it with the most AMAZING interaction with Kevin, who is hands down one of my favorite Disney characters!

Next: Sangria University at Coronado Springs!

This was a new experience for me! A 90-minute sangria tasting and making class, complete with a little history lesson!

Here’s what you need to know:
✨ $73.46 including tax
✨ Five glasses of sangria (yes, FIVE!)
✨ A fun, unique experience for adults!

My thoughts? It was definitely fun, but the class was larger than I expected, and the instructor was sometimes difficult to hear. Still, I’m glad I tried it!

And finally… Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party!

If you know me, you KNOW how much I love this party. It is hands down my favorite special event that I have attended on Disney property!

I met SO many characters, trick-or-treated my way to a ridiculous amount of candy, enjoyed rides with minimal wait times, and watched my absolute FAVORITE parade, Mickey’s Boo-To-You Halloween Parade, not once but TWICE!

For those considering this party, it is a separately ticketed event, and prices vary depending on the date. But for me? The characters, entertainment, atmosphere, wait times and Halloween magic make it SO worth it!

Reminder: Sometimes the best Disney days are the ones where you just embrace the chaos, try something new, and soak up every bit of magic. ✨

Which would YOU choose: a safari with baby animals, Sangria University, or a night of Halloween magic?

✨ Day 1: Hollywood Studios & EPCOT! ✨

Did the day go exactly as planned? Absolutely not. 😂 Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway was down, so I had to pivot pretty early on. But if there’s one thing Disney has taught me, it’s that sometimes the best moments aren’t the ones you plan!

A little park hopping, catching up with my old boss, watching some Alabama football (Roll Tide!), and ending the day with a Mickey ice cream bar while soaking up golden hour at my favorite Disney resort.

Was it the day I originally planned? Nope. Was it exactly the kind of day I needed? 100%.

Sometimes the magic isn’t in checking everything off your list. It’s in slowing down, embracing the unexpected, and making the most of wherever the day takes you.

Life throws curveballs. Disney days do too. The magic is what you make of it.

What’s on your Disney vacation MUST-PACK list?!

Mine? MICKEY EARS, of course! Because is it really a Disney vacation if you don’t have a pair of ears to match every outfit?! (Or maybe a few extra pairs… just in case!)

As a travel advisor and lifelong Disney lover, I know that packing for a Disney vacation is about more than just throwing some clothes in a suitcase! From comfortable park shoes and portable chargers to sunscreen, park bag essentials, and those all-important Mickey ears, a little preparation goes a LONG way toward making your vacation magical!

✨ Travel Advisor Tip: Don’t forget to leave a little extra room in your suitcase for all those magical souvenirs you’ll inevitably bring home!✨

If a Disney vacation is on your wish list, I’d love to help you turn those magical dreams into unforgettable memories! ✨

✨ Client love like this makes my heart so happy! ✨

The Chicalace Family’s Halloween trip was SUCH a fun one to plan! From the spooky season magic to making sure all the little details were taken care of, I loved helping this family create a vacation full of memories they’ll be talking about for years. 🧡

Thank you for trusting me with your Disney magic — especially during one of my favorite times of year! 👻

I am honored to be even considered for this list every month but to be a part of it for July and August, amazing. I could have done it without any of my amazing clients for trusting me with your vacations! 💙💙

A little overdue, and absolutely worth celebrating. ✨

Please help us recognize our July and August Shining Stars: Amy S., Amy C., Kayla, Hannah, Katie, and Heather!

These six advisors had a strong showing in travel booked, vacations traveled, or both during those months. Behind every booking is a client who trusted them with time together; and an advisor who listened, planned, answered questions, and followed through.

We appreciate what each of you brings to this team, the care you give your clients, and the way you keep showing up for your businesses. We’re so glad you’re part of Reach for the Magic Destinations. 💜

Help us give them some love in the comments! 🌟
