In this podcast, I will take you on my almost two-year journey of using Disney Genie Plus at Walt Disney World. Disney Genie Plus debuted in October 2021, replacing the old free FastPass+ system. While FastPass+ had its flaws, many people complain that Walt Disney World now requires you to pay to skip the line. However, it's worth noting that most major theme parks in America have a pay-to-skip-the-line service.

In this podcast, I will share the strategies and tricks that I have learned over almost two years of using the Disney Genie+ service. We use this service every time we visit the park to make the most of our time and minimize stress. I hope that the information I cover in this podcast will help you maximize your time and have a better experience at the Disney parks.

Join me in episode 33 of the Well Hello Magic podcast as I share my family's unforgettable adventure aboard the Star Wars Galactic Star Cruiser. Discover the cost breakdown, daily itinerary and how this experience has ignited our passion for the Star Wars universe. It's a journey that will leave you with memories to cherish for a lifetime.

This experience was the pinnacle of our Disney trips. The Galactic Star Cruiser was an incredible achievement by Walt Disney World, and we feel blessed to have been a part of it.

In my latest podcast, I delve into the shortcomings of Disney's marketing and timing strategies in regards to their Star Wars experience. It's clear that more could have been done to promote this truly exceptional experience, which has undoubtedly created a community of lifelong Star Wars enthusiasts. In my opinion, this is the epitome of the Disney experience - and a must-see for any fan of the franchise.

We are so grateful that we had a chance to be a part of this experience.  We hope that one day, we will be able to experience something like this again, and it has created a family of lifelong Star Wars fans.

Today's podcast talks about the last few weeks before your Disney Vacation that is so stressful.

It doesn't matter where you're going when packing for a family to go on vacation. It is one of the most stressful situations you can imagine. First, you must ensure everyone has all the clothes you need. If they were matching outfits, you need to ensure they were ordered early enough to ensure everyone gets the pieces they need before you go.

Our weather elements to consider, when you have a toddler or a baby, you have to make sure you have all the right gear for them to make it a successful trip. Whether you're going to Walt Disney World or Hawaii, it doesn't matter. Planning, prepping, and packing is stressful, but it is always worth it once you're on vacation.

He doesn't get any better than knowing that you have all the items that you need for a successful trip, and the wonderful thing about going to Walt Disney World is if you forget it. Also, if you need something, you can always use target delivery, Instacart, or send it via Amazon to your resort.

Then I go over my planning workbook, which is a tool that will help you not only pack and prep for Walt Disney World but for any vacation that you are going on with children. This detailed timeline gives you an overview of all the little tasks that need to be done around the house, items that need to be ordered for your children, and little things that lead up to 48 - 24 hours before you leave the house.

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!

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.
