👑 We had the chance to stay in one of the newly reimagined Royal Rooms at Disney’s Port Orleans Riverside! 💚✨

Disney kept the royal feel while giving these rooms a fresh new look inspired by Princess Tiana and The Princess and the Frog. From the glowing bayou headboards to the beautiful double vanity, updated bathroom, and elegant New Orleans touches, these rooms feel both magical and modern.

If you’ve stayed in the old Royal Rooms before… trust me, these are a major upgrade! 😍 I honestly wasn’t sure, as the old rooms hold a special place in my heart, but I do love the upgrade!!

Would you book one of these rooms?

❤️ Happy Anniversary to my favorite travel buddy.

Sixteen years ago today, we said “I do.” Looking back at these photos, it’s hard to believe how much life has changed since then.

Since that day, we’ve shared countless adventures—from baseball stadiums to Disney parks, cruise ships, and so many places in between. We’ve built a life full of memories, laughter, and one pretty amazing daughter.

Here’s to 16 years… and many more adventures together. ❤️✈️🚢

Funny how things work out…when WV meets NC edition!

We’ve planned trips, talked about meeting up, and somehow always just missed each other. This time, our Universal vacations finally lined up, and we got to spend a little time together in Diagon Alley. ❤️

It’s called research… for my clients. 😂

Somebody had to taste-test all the Butterbeer options, and I bravely accepted the challenge.

Verdict:
⭐ Frozen Butterbeer = GOAT
⭐ Butterbeer Crêpe = 10/10
⭐ Cold Butterbeer = Classic
⭐ Butterbeer Waffle = Good, but I’d order the crêpe again.

My biggest accomplishment today: becoming the World’s Greatest Teacher… according to the Universal gift shop. 😂 After getting the highest score in our car in MIB: Alien Attack.

No trip to Universal is complete without a trip to Voodoo Doughnut at CityWalk! What flavor would you choose?! 🤔

While Andy and Aubree caught up on some sleep 😴, I finally wandered up to check out the Serenity Deck on Carnival Mardi Gras.

And honestly… I can see why people love it.

It’s the adults-only area (21+), so it’s much quieter than the main pool deck. There are loungers, a pool, hot tubs, a bar, and some pretty incredible ocean views.

If you ever need a break from the hustle and bustle of the ship, this is definitely the place to be. 🌊☀️

Have you checked out Serenity before, or are you all about the action on Lido?
