I can't believe it's already MAY! ☀
With the school year coming to a close, let me offer a friendly reminder that it is NOT TOO LATE to schedule those summer vacations! Get some quality time on the books for summer break and send your kids back to school refreshed and in a good mindset.

Happy Tuesday!

When you're in Epic Universe, don't miss the Cosmos Fountain Show in Celestial Park. It kicks off every night around 10 minutes before park close, right in front of the Helios Grand Hotel. Stunning show, lots of open seating. Grab a drink and enjoy this amazing show!

Money can’t buy happiness but it can buy tickets to Universal Studios, and that’s basically the same thing. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Happy Tuesday!
First off, let me just say that Universal Epic Universe has NO problem living up to the name. It is nothing short of EPIC. 💥 Of the many ride options in the park, among the hottest new attractions is Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry. It is a definite must-see but wait times can be an absolute nightmare, at times reaching up to FIVE HOURS. ⏰

Here's my tip: ⬇❗
Leave this ride until the very end of your park day. It's a very popular "rope-drop" ride. By waiting until the latest hours of the day you will save 3-4 of those hours.

Speaking though personal experience, we tried to go around 10am and GAVE UP at the 4.5 hour mark. We weren't even CLOSE to the end of the queue. We decided to try again about an hour before park close and we were on the ride in under 30 minutes.

Learn from my mistakes, don't waste precious hours of your park day!

Only TWO MORE DAYS!!

🎢 Ride I'm most looking forward to: Rise of the Resistance
🏰 Most anticipated moment: The "first look" at the castle. The moment I've officially arrived to my happy place. And yes, it still brings the same amount of giddiness EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
⭐ New thing I'm going to try: Magic bands! I know, I know, they are ICONIC and as many times as I've gone to Disney parks it's a wonder I have never tried them. What can I say? I've always been a phone girl. 🤷🏼‍♀️I'm excited to see how I like them!

Today's topic: Park Hopping in Walt Disney World

For starters, I'm a HUGE fan of park hoppers. They offer the ultimate versatility for your trip. That being said, they may not be the best option for everyone! ⬇⬇⬇

If it's your first time at Walt Disney World, I actually recommend one-park-per-day tickets. It is commonly underestimated how expansive Walt Disney World really is. The parks are very spread out and each one has SO MUCH to do and see! To truly soak in each park without feeling rushed, dedicate a full day to each one! (Want to REALLY maximize your time?? Add lightning lane multi-pass to your tickets!)

9 days to go!!! 🥳

Unpopular opinion... I always skip Toon Town. I have nothing against it, it's just not one of my priorities. BUT this year I am adding it to my list and I'm actually really excited! (If anyone on here plays Disney Dreamlight Valley... you'll understand my excitement. 😆)

REMINDER:
➡It is OKAY to skip things that are "not your thing".
➡It is OKAY to have different priorities and preferences.
➡Trying new things can be fun! If you have the time or if you're a repeat traveler, try adding something new that you haven't seen or tried. You might be surprised!
