🎄✨ Okay, I have a confession to make… ✨🎄

For as much as I love Disney and as many trips as I’ve taken, there is one holiday experience I still haven’t experienced yet—the Candlelight Processional at EPCOT! 😳🎄

And I know… I know! 😂

Well, 2026 is the year I’m finally going to see it! ❤️

I’ve heard so many wonderful things about this beautiful holiday tradition, and with this year marking the 55th year of the Candlelight Processional, I am especially excited to finally experience it for myself.

If you aren’t familiar with it, the Candlelight Processional is a beautiful retelling of the Christmas story, complete with:

🎻 A 51-piece orchestra
🎶 The incredible Voices of Liberty
👥 A choir of more than 150 Cast Members and community singers
🎤 And a celebrity narrator

And can we talk about the 2026 narrator lineup?! 🤩

✨ Auli’i Cravalho
✨ Gary Sinise
✨ Whoopi Goldberg
✨ Robin Roberts
✨ Jason Kelce
✨ Neil Patrick Harris
✨ Lauren Daigle
✨ Ralph Macchio
✨ Henry Winkler
✨ Lacey Chabert
✨ Jodi Benson
✨ Simu Liu
✨ Eva Longoria

…and there are still more narrators to be announced!

Performances are held nightly at 4:45 PM, 6:30 PM and 8:00 PM at the America Gardens Theatre.

I have a feeling this is going to be one of those Disney moments where I sit there and think, “Why did I wait so long to do this?” 🥹❤️

So now I want to know…

🎄 Have YOU experienced the Candlelight Processional?

Tell me what you thought! And if you have a favorite narrator, I definitely want to hear that too! 👇🏻

And if you’ve been thinking about a holiday trip to Walt Disney World, there is still time to make some Christmas magic happen! 🎅✨

Jason Kelce it is! I have planned a visit to see the Candlelight Processional. I was really hoping for Gary Sinise or Neil Patrick Harris but a win is a win! 🏆

Some of Japan's most memorable moments are the ones you never see coming.

Beyond the famous temples, cherry blossoms, and neon lights are everyday experiences and traditions that often leave the biggest impression.

How many of these surprises are you familiar with?

🌙✨ Sometimes the magic happens a little later in the evening! 🚢✨

Late last night, I finished up booking another placeholder for one of my fantastic repeat families — the W Family! 💙

Mom, Dad, and their three little ones are officially set for an April 2028 sailing on the Disney Destiny, and I think they are going to have SO much fun exploring this incredible new ship! 🛳️

From the Pride Lands to Cruella de Vil and all the other amazing Disney touches onboard, there is so much to look forward to!

And because we were able to book before general bookings opened, we were able to grab the verandah room they wanted in a fantastic midship location on Deck 10 — perfect for being close to all the fun up by the pools! ☀️🌊

And one more perk of booking their Disney Cruise with me? They’re getting onboard credit from me to use however they’d like! 💰✨ Drinks, souvenirs, treats, excursions… it’s theirs to spend however they choose!

Yes, sometimes being a travel agent means working late into the evening… and last night was one of those nights! 😉 But getting my clients exactly where they want to be makes it completely worth it.

Thank you, W Family, for trusting me with another magical adventure! ❤️

So… who else wants to go on a Disney cruise?! 🚢✨

You’re also incredibly people-focused. Your business isn’t simply about booking vacations—you put a lot of effort into making sure your clients feel taken care of from beginning to end. That’s very Gryffindor: showing up for your people.

And then there’s the obvious part…

🏰 You love magical places.
✨ You love adventure.
🧳 You spend your days helping people experience them.

That’s pretty hard to argue with.

🚢✨ Labor Day? You mean SAIL AWAY! ✨🚢

🪄 Bibbidi bobbidi… JUST BOOKED! 🪄

My repeat clients, the P family, are officially booked for their next Disney adventure! 💙

They took their very first Disney Cruise Line vacation this past March, and Mom told me she couldn’t believe how much she fell in love with cruising Disney style. ❤️

They took advantage of the Disney Cruise Line placeholder offer while onboard, and now that the 2028 sailings have been released, they were ready to turn that placeholder into their next vacation!

They chose a 7-night sailing aboard the Disney Fantasy from Fort Lauderdale, with stops at:

🏝️ Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point
🏝️ Castaway Cay
🌴 St. Thomas
🌴 San Juan
🚢 Plus TWO days at sea!

Because they booked early, they were also able to snag the 5:45 p.m. dining time for their younger daughter. The other option is 8:15 p.m., and that earlier dining time can often be gone when you wait to book.

They’re now Silver Castaway Club members, giving them an earlier booking window on future sailings — another great reason to book with Disney Cruise Line early! ✨

And with about a year and a half until they sail, they have plenty of time to make payments and get that final payment taken care of.

This is why I love helping my clients book early — the right sailing, stateroom, and dining time can make all the difference! 🚢✨

While most people are enjoying a long Labor Day weekend, I decided to spend a little of mine completing my American Cruise Lines training — and I’m officially certified in this specialty! 🚢🇺🇸

And I have to say, I’m a little overwhelmed… in the BEST way! Their service and the incredible variety of itineraries are amazing.

From the Great Lakes to Alaska, New Orleans, Florida, the Mississippi River, and the American Northwest, they have created some truly unique ways to explore our country.

There are fall cruises through the Hudson River Valley, Civil War battlefield journeys, Cape Cod, Lewis & Clark itineraries, and so many more — all filled with American history, beautiful scenery, and fascinating destinations.

The Mark Twain & Hannibal, Missouri experience on the Upper Mississippi immediately jumped to the top of my personal list. That one sounds absolutely incredible!

I have a feeling this new specialty is going to give me a whole new list of places I want to see. And I’m perfectly okay with that! 😉✨
