You’ve been staking out empty lounge chairs by the pool during your sailing 🛳️, you’ve mingled with families in the buffet line 🍽️, and you have crushed trivia all week long. 🏆 Now, at Lighthouse Point at Lookout Cay 🌴, you are longing for some family, quiet, private downtime. 🏖️ You are definitely going to want to spring for a family cabana at Mabrika Cove. This cozy, snack and drink-stocked cabana is your perfect island retreat to really get away from it all! 😌 Is booking a private cabana at the tippy top of your “must book” Port Adventures list for your next Disney Cruise Line vacation? (Can we come too?!) 😄

🤔💭Imagine this…you are walking up Main Street and approach the castle. 🏰 Do you turn right and head into Tomorrowland? Or do you turn left right into Adventureland? Is there a right or wrong answer?

💦 It’s true, Disney’s water parks just don’t seem to get much love. So many of us get swept away by the magic of the four “main” theme parks 🌐🏰🎬🌳 that it becomes easy to forget that Walt Disney World has two water parks.

⛷️ Blizzard Beach has reopened, and although no one likes to use the word “blizzard” in the month of January, this may be EXACTLY when you should give it a shout. 🙌 With over 17 slides, water heated to a cozy 80 degrees 🔥, and FREE admission on your arrival day, what are you waiting for?

What has kept you from trying the water parks during your Disney vacations? 🤔 If you have been, what did you think? 💬✨

🏈📺🥨 Super Bowl Sunday is here, and we’re all about the food! There’s no wrong way to snack your way through the game. Whether you’re going with classic nachos, a savory charcuterie board, or keeping it light with a healthy mix like Batuu Bits, it’s a day to indulge in what you love to eat...oh and root for your team.

🌭🌮🍜But let’s imagine for a second—you could cater your Super Bowl spread straight from a Disney restaurant. Where would you pick? Will you grab Casey’s Corner hot dogs, go all-in on a Flame Tree Barbecue feast, bring the magic of ‘Ohana to your living room or someplace else?

❄️☁️😩 Are the winter blahs hitting hard for anyone else right now? Both of us live in the north. The gray skies, the cold temps, and the never-ending layers—it’s a vibe, but not the one we want. You know what SOUNDS GREAT, though? Escaping it all for a little sunshine and magic! ☀️✨

🩴 Imagine trading boots for flip-flops as you stroll down Main Street, U.S.A. soaking in that Florida sunshine at Walt Disney World. 🏰🚢Or maybe hopping aboard a Disney Cruise, where the hardest decision is if you’ll get the drink of the day or order another pina colava. 🌴🍹🍍And let’s not forget Universal Resort, where you can dive into The Wizarding World of Harry Potter where the cold and snow in Hogsmeade is imaginary! 🧙‍♂️🪄☃️

Even if you’re not quite ready to pack your bags, planning a trip is half the fun! Putting a vacation on the books gives you something magical to look forward to—and trust me, it’s the perfect remedy for these cold, dreary days.

On today’s episode we let the good times roll and talk all things Mardi Gras at Universal Orlando! 💜

05/02/2025

Alright, time to set the record straight—Universal Studios Orlando is way more than just thrill rides and Butterbeer 🍺. If you’re a die-hard Disney fan, you might have some opinions about Universal, but we are here to bust some myths 💥:

It’s Just About Thrill Rides – Universal has some awesome thrill rides 🎢, but it also offers immersive attractions for all ages. From The Wizarding World of Harry Potter 🪄 to DreamWorks Land and so many experiences in between, it’s a family-friendly destination!

It’s Not as Immersive – Time to take another look 👀 at Universal if this is what you think. And I’m not even talking about the upcoming Epic Universe park!

It’s Just for Teens and Adults – This is just a hard no 🚫. With lands and attractions featuring Trolls, Kung-Fu Panda, Scooby Doo, Despicable Me, and Dr. Seuss, the littles will know they are where they belong too 🎉.

Get Universal on your list of places to visit!

The Aerophile hand-painted helium balloon 🎈✨ at Disney Springs…are you in or are you out?

From 400 feet above Disney Springs (don’t worry, you’re tethered and it’s smooth sailing), you’ll get breathtaking panoramic views 🌅👀 of Walt Disney World. See if you can spot the theme park landmarks 🎡🎢 or just soak in the experience.

At around $25 per person, this won’t break the bank either. Whether you’re a couple looking for something romantic 💕✨ or a family looking to create a core memory for the kids🎉, maybe a trip on Aerophile is for you!

It’s National Plan a Cruise Day!

🛳️💰 A vacation is an investment, right? And let’s be real—a Disney Cruise Line vacation can feel like a BIG investment. You want to make sure it’s absolutely perfect. We’ve got you! Let’s break down a few ways to make sure you’re planning the ultimate Disney cruise:

🌴 Itinerary: There are a LOT of options. The Caribbean is a big place, so make sure you know if you want Eastern or Western. Or are you in it for the scenery of Alaska or the Mediterranean.

🛏️ Stateroom: We know we all THINK the room is just a place to sleep, but when you’re sharing 169 square feet it can feel small even with your eyes closed. Not having natural light is also a deal breaker for many. Be selective with the room!

🎨 Activities: There are SO many! Download the Disney Cruise Line app before boarding. That’s where you’ll access everything happening onboard. You can even favorite the activities you want to do, and you’ll get a reminder notification a little before it starts. Enjoy activities like trivia, Bingo, character meet and greets, animation classes, crafts, and more.

👋 Work with us! We have lots of experience with various cruise lines and can simplify the magic of a cruise!
