In todays podcast I go over all things, Deluxe Resorts, including the Deluxe Villas, which are the Disney Vacation Club portion of the deluxe resorts.

I go over why we decided that ownership was the best route for my family and give you some things to think about to decide if ownership is the best thing for your family. If you don't want to purchase into Disney vacation club, I also go over how to rent DVC points through the DVC Rental Store Saving you up to 30% on your Disney Vacation Club Room!

I also talk about the differences between Deluxe Villas and the Resort Side of the Deluxe Resorts. That way you know what to expect. If you decide that you want to stay in a Disney vacation club room, there are a lot of differences between the room the biggest one is that in the one-bedrooms in larger room you have a washer dryer and a full kitchen.

For more information head to my website to check out the blogs on DVC and DVC rentals.

My best memories at Walt Disney World are going in large groups with my family and friends. But now, as an adult, I realize how tricky the dynamics of large groups can be if you are going with multiple families and all want to do different things.

As we prep for our July Disney trip with my cousin, another family, and their family coming, we will have 15 - 17 people at any given time. Make sure we get to everything each family wants and find balance in different Disney styles.

In this podcast, I review how to set yourself up for success. It can't cover everything in 20 minutes, but I try to cover as much as possible to guide you in creating a family vacation everyone will remember.

It is halfway to the holidays, and we could not be more excited for this upcoming season at Walt Disney World. There are so many returning things, like Mickey's very merry Christmas party and the animal menagerie at Disney's Animal Kingdom, and we are thrilled to have all of those things back. It feels like since Covid. We always await pins and needles to see what events will return.

One of the best things that we have that is new this year is at Hollywood. They are getting their very own after-hours holiday party, and it sounds like it will be so much fun. Dress to Impress is the dress code - Dapper Dan peeps, its your time to shine! There are different themes for each neighborhood of Hollywood Studios. We cannot wait for Jollywood Nights.

I wrap up this podcast by reviewing some of my favorite Disney Resorts to tour during the holiday season and some activities you can even do at Disney Springs. There is so much to look forward to this Christmas season at Walt Disney World; we cannot wait!

And this podcast episode I go over what it is like to do an in person run Disney event. I have only done virtual races at home, which has been an awesome experience, but I had a friend who really pushed me to come in person because she wanted me to experience that run Disney events were like nothing else. And she was right!  I had an awesome time doing it in person event, so much that I am planning on going back to the Princess Race. Many asked why I picked the Princess Race but that is because I love everything Princess! 

Next year, my daughter and I plan on doing the 5K race together and I am turning it into a girls weekend to have my mom and sister all come along with me. Let me give you the ins and outs of some of the things that I would do differently as a second time Disney racer. Also, be sure to check out my friend at once upon a marathon she is an awesome Content creator, who covers all things run Disney!

Summer in Disney is HOT HOT HOT! It is a wonderful time to travel to walk at Disney World, and crowds are higher but not holiday high. However, there are a few things to expect, daily rain, high heat, and using park strategy!! 

In this podcast, I will give you all the tips and tricks for surviving and thriving in summer! Every summer, we head to Walt Disney World to squeeze one last trip in before school begins. 

Here are a few tips for enjoying summer, stay hydrated by carrying a refillable water bottle and drinking plenty of fluids. Also, wear comfortable and breathable clothing, like cotton or moisture-wicking materials. Take breaks in the shade or air-conditioned areas to rest and cool down. Apply sunscreen frequently to protect your skin from the sun's rays. Use  Genie+ to avoid long lines. Plan your visit for early morning or evening when temperatures are cooler. Bring a small portable fan or handheld misting device to help you stay cool.

Hey Disney family! 

Thank you for joining me for another podcast episode! 

In this podcast, I'm going to be discussing my April trips to Walt Disney World. I made two trips in April. The first was made one trip over Easter weekend with my family, and the 2nd hosted trip from Undercover Tourist and Walt Disney World resort.

I go over the pros and cons of the three different resorts. I stay at Baylake Tower, contemporary in the main building, and the Grand Floridian. I also go into details of the DVC company I trust the most. Finally, I discussed whether dessert parties are for you and your family and all the fun Easter has at the resorts.

I go into more detail about being hosted by Walt Disney World and undercover tourists and some of our fun activities.

I will let you know what is to come for Well Hello Disney and the fun things we have planned for May and beyond.

Walt Disney World has made so many new announcement about things coming in 2024. Today's podcast goes over all five of the big announcements from yesterday at the changes that are happening. All of this is speculation exactly how it's gonna go but we're going to revisit the way that it used to be ants, impossible predictions for what it will be in the future.

🎫 Date-based tickets will no longer require a park reservation. Most Walt Disney World tickets give you a booking window when you purchase a package. Now you do not have to worry about what park to enter the system. – I will wait to see how this affects military tickets.

👌Good to go days! AP holders will have more days where they do not need a reservation, either! This means that during peak season and holidays, more than likely, reservations will still be required for AP holders.

🍝 DISNEY DINING PLANS are coming back – I will do a deep dive today on this, and we can only speculate on price and what this means for guests.

🎢 Early Entry and Extended Evening Hours are here to stay! This is wonderful for any guest staying at a Disney Resort, giving you the advantage of having more time at the Disney Parks.

🧞 Changes to Genie+ are coming!! If you remember, FastPass+/FastPass allowed you to book three rides before you got to the park. Do I think this will change strategy – no, not really. I think the Sell Out Order will be the same. But what will change is that you can plan your day a little bit better.
Here are my predictions:
🧞On-site, guests will get some advantage to booking 1 – 3 rides ahead of time at the 60-day window. (My guess is probably 2, what is your guess?) Disney has been really pushing to show the advantages of staying on property.
If you have a park reservation – possibly an ability to book? I don’t know how that would work, so this is just a wild guess to help off-site guests.
🧞Then I bet the 7 am booking will still be there – but it will not be as big of a rush if you have already gotten your top-priority rides.
🧞ILLs are not going anywhere! It’s too big of a money maker, and I can’t imagine it going away!

Today I take you on my planning journey as I attempt to design our realistic Disney day for Hollywood Studios over Easter weekend for our toddler. This planning strategy can be used at any park, but I specifically gearing it towards my toddler and Hollywood Studios in the goals that we want to accomplish for her on a specific day. You can take every single one of these principles that I talk about in this podcast and apply it to your family and the way that you plan out your Disney days.

You might be thinking I'm going to Walt Disney World and only doing eight activities in an entire day, and that's not always the case. I don't want you to be set up for failure thinking that you can do more activities and then eight specific attractions, Schalles, dining experience, rides and character meet and greets.

The goal is also a balance in your day especially when you have young or little children. You don't want to be worn out because you went so hard that you end up having tantrums, and meltdowns and it kind of ruins that Disney day. With my strategies I am sure that we avoid tantrums during the day, we get the rest that we need, and we enjoy our Park day to the fullest.

Disney wasn't designed to allow you to get everything done in one day, and there is so much more to the park than just a rides.  I hope this helps you plan your Disney days!

Blog: Standby Skipper Tutorial and Review - Why you need it!

Today I discuss one of my favorite apps at Walt Disney World resort, Standby Skipper. This app takes the stress out of booking Genie+ and will book it for you. Of course, many strategies are still involved, but the stress level of having to remember what time the book and which ride to book next is greatly diminished with using this app.

They cannot book individual lightning lanes or virtual cues for you, but where you are used to having multiple phones doing the work Standby Skipper really reduces it to one person having to book those pay-per-ride experiences. 

One of the biggest bonuses is that if you were up at midnight and have already purchased Genie+, you can enter your 7 AM selection on standby skipper. That way, you don't have to wake up to book your first attraction at that time because they will book it for you. 

I cannot say enough positive things about Standby Skipper. It will forever be a part of my Disney experience.
