A heartfelt Merry Christmas to all of you, old and new friends alike. ❤️💚 This little corner of the internet grew a lot this year - beyond any expectation I ever had for it. Thank you for following our Disney adventures and letting me blab your ear off about all things Walt Disney World. 2024 will bring a trip for Festival of the Arts and a pilgrimage out to Disneyland (the girls have never been!), and honestly who knows how many other trips we’ll be able to fit in. It’s always more than we think 😜 I sincerely hope your Christmas is ✨ MaGiCaL ✨

A little ✨ ABOUT ME ✨ post today! (Featuring my Mickey Halloween tree because obviously 💁🏻‍♀️)

Hey 👋🏻 I’m Jenna and I like to help you make the MOUSE of your Disney vacation! (Get it? I know you do 😜) I share our experiences as out-of-state WDW Annual Passholders, from resorts to the theme parks, dining, and my opinions (and y’all’s!) on all the Disney things. I share news, happenings, polls and updates in Stories daily and several reels a week with information on literally everything you may or may not have thought to ask about Walt Disney World. I hope you’ll stick around as me and my fam share our love of the MaGiC with you ✨

MY FAVORITES:
Park: Epcot
Dining: This changes with my mood
Drink: Classic margarita on the rocks with salt (hello México!)
Character: Lotso from Toy Story 3
Resort: BoardWalk
Transportation: Skyliner
Holiday: Halloween, duh!
Festival: Festival of the Arts (ooh controversial)

What else do you wanna know about me or what I do here? Anything you’d love to know more about at WDW? Leave them all in the comments ⬇️

Well… third time’s the charm?

I applied to be a PlanDisney Panelist again because I couldn’t *not* right? Disney World is part of my personality so I’m just going to keep applying until I wear them down enough that they decide to accept me 😆 I’m feeling hopeful this time - wish me luck!

✨ PHOTOPASS PHOTO DUMP ✨

Let’s talk Disney’s PhotoPass service at Walt Disney World Resort.

Currently, for *each day* you purchase Genie+, that day’s attraction photos will be available for you to download from the My Disney Experience app.

This does NOT include PhotoPass photographers who are stationed with characters and at different points throughout the parks.

Those photos can be purchased a la carte or by purchasing Memory Maker for your trip, which will allow you to digitally download ALL photos taken by PhotoPass photographers and on attractions. It’s an add-on cost of $169 in advance or $199 during/after your vacation. Annual Passholders can add it on to their AP for $99/year.

We take so many photos with PhotoPass photographers, it more than pays for itself! TIP: they will also take photos with your cell phone if you ask nicely. 😉

What do you think - do you take advantage of the photographers in the parks or not? We get some cool shots that we wouldn’t have been able to get otherwise!

✨2 WEEKS AT WALT DISNEY WORLD✨

[[SWIPE]] for our plans for each day of the third leg of our trip, this time staying at an AirBNB condo right across from Disney Springs! We’re working remotely a lot during this stay but we’re still finding plenty of time to have some fun!

DAY 9️⃣ Checking out of Boardwalk and into our AirBNB. We’ll take our time with breakfast, probably hit up a grocery store for some lunch items for the week and take our time getting settled into our new place. A low-key day!

DAY 🔟 Happy 4th of July!! 🇺🇸 We are doing something we’ve never done before - a Disney water park!! The girls haven’t even been to ANY water park before so they’re in for a treat. We’re also picking my mom up from the airport this day so she can spend the rest of the trip with us! Then we’ll end the night with hopefully fireworks on the beach at the Polynesian!

DAY 1️⃣1️⃣ We both have to work this day ☹️ so Nonna will entertain the girls during the day and then we’ll eat at Raglan Road and explore Disney Springs!

DAY 1️⃣2️⃣ After Hours at Epcot!!!! It’s been years since we did an After Hours party, and never at Epcot so this should be SO FUN! My mom hasn’t been to Disney since Cosmic Rewind or Remy’s opened so it’ll be her first time on those! We just hope the girls can hang until 1am. 🤪

DAY 1️⃣3️⃣ Our last night in the magic 😩 We thought we’d do the mini golf courses this day! And then it’s time to pack up because…

DAY 1️⃣4️⃣ SEE YA REAL SOON, Disney!

✨2 WEEKS AT WALT DISNEY WORLD✨

[[SWIPE]] for our plans for each day of the second leg of our trip, this time staying at Disney’s Boardwalk Resort, our FAVORITE!

DAY 6️⃣ Checking into Boardwalk and then spending the day at Hollywood Studios with dinner at the new Roundup Rodeo BBQ! We’ll for sure stay for Fantasmic too!

DAY 7️⃣ Animal Kingdom! I loooove AK but it’s the girls’ least favorite so we’ll rope drop and do as many things as we can until they want to go back and swim in the pool 🙃 We’ll likely hit up Community Hall and have pizza on the Boardwalk for dinner!

DAY 8️⃣ Our last full park day! We’ll start at HS and end the day at Epcot.

And that’ll conclude our stay at Boardwalk… WHERE WILL WE GO NEXT?! Check my next post for all the details!

✨2 WEEKS AT WALT DISNEY WORLD✨

[[SWIPE]] for our plans for each day of the first leg of our vacation during our stay at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort!

DAY 1️⃣ Checking into the GF for the first time EVER! Expect us to come away feeling very boujee and important. 😜

DAY 2️⃣ Rope drop Magic Kingdom! We are going to get there as early as possible and go as hard as we can before probably heading back to the resort for some pool time & relaxation!

DAY 3️⃣ You know we had to plan a Resort day to take advantage of all the fun things to do at the Grand Floridian. We’ll start our day by taking the monorail over to the Contemporary for breakfast at Chef Mickey’s, then come back and hop in the pool and see what else we can do for the rest of the day! Definitely ending with the campfire and movies under the stars!

DAY 4️⃣ Rope drop Epcot! This is our balls to the wall 😉 Epcot day so we’re going to go hard! We will likely buy Genie+ and fit in as many rides, snacks and drinks as possible.

DAY 5️⃣ The girls are in for a treat because they have reservations at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique! It’ll be Reese’s first and Sydney’s 3rd time and they are going to both be over the moon excited. We’ll get the most of their makeovers by spending the rest of the day at MK!

[[See next post for our plans during our 3 night stay at Disney’s Boardwalk resort!]]

Why yes, we just got back from Disney but I’m already planning our next trip (we leave in 19 days!) Shared a rough itinerary in Stories today (subject to change, obvs!) Also ordered the girls’ princess dresses for the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique yesterday - thank you 30% AP discount on ShopDisney! Can you guess which princesses they chose?! Weigh in below ⬇️

✨ p h o t o d u m p p a r t o n e✨ We had a magical weekend at the Most Magical Place on Earth! Did you follow along in Stories? If you missed it, I’ll save them in a highlight!

What questions do you have about doing a short trip to Disney with kids?! I feel like we’re experts at this point 🙃

Until next time WDW… ✌🏻
