Back on land! 🌊 We just wrapped a week of Halloween on the High Seas with the Disney Treasure on Disney Cruise Line and my brain is full of tips, tricks and "I wish someone had told me this" moments.

Give me a few days to unpack (literally and figuratively) and I'll be sharing everything — the stateroom details, the dining, what worked for families with kids in the 5–11 range, and the little things that made the biggest difference.

In the meantime: what do you most want to know about sailing with Disney Cruise Line? Drop it below 👇 and I'll make sure to cover it.

Already dreaming about your own sailing? Message me and let's talk about it.

Live from the Disney Treasure! 🌊

Day 3 of our Disney Cruise Line sailing and I had to pop on and say hi. Tonight will be our Halloween on the High Seas party and we are so excited!

A few things I'm noticing that I'll be sharing with my families:
✨ How Easy the Disney Treasure is to navigate
✨ Aquamouse water slide became an instant favourite and the food by the pool deck is delicious!
✨We met an amazing family that sat with us at dinner for our rotational dining that makes dinner that much more fun and the food has been phenomenal.

Lastly the service is unbeatable…

I'm soaking up every detail so I can help you plan yours. Have you sailed with Disney Cruise Line, or is it on your wish list?

🇨🇦 Ontario families: the 2027 Canadian resident offer for Walt Disney World just dropped, and March Break is included.

Here's what you need to know:

✨ Save up to 25% on select Walt Disney Travel Company room-and-ticket packages at Disney Resorts Collection hotels (4 nights/4 days or longer)

📸 Plus a FREE Memory Maker photo package, so you're actually in the family photos this time

📅 Dates it covers:

• Most Sunday to Thursday nights, January 3 to February 25, 2027
• Most nights, February 28 to October 2, 2027

That second window covers Ontario March Break AND summer. The offer is open to all Canadian residents.

What this means if you have a 5 to 11 year old:
Not every resort gets the full 25% off. The discount depends on which hotel you choose, and there are only so many discounted rooms. March Break weeks book up fast, so if that's your week, book now instead of waiting until January. All you need is a $200USD deposit.

The 4-night minimum is also a good fit for this age. It gives you room for a pool afternoon without rushing every park day.

👉 Comment "2027" or send me a message with your travel week and your kids' ages. I'll compare which resorts give your family the biggest savings for your dates.

Three things nobody tells you about Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party:

Jack and Sally are the longest line of the night. They’re inside the theatre on Main Street, and the queue builds before the party even officially starts. Go during the first Boo To You parade — everyone else is packed along the parade route and the line drops way down. Or catch them in the last 45 minutes when the park is emptying out.

The trick-or-treat trails are emptiest in the first hour. Head there before the castle.
Bring your own tote. That branded candy bag fills up faster than you’d think.

Party nights sell out earlier every year, especially October Saturdays. If Halloween at Walt Disney World is on your list for next year, send me a message and I’ll tell you which dates to watch

Disney’s Animal Kingdom after dark hits different.

Last night kicked off our Disney agent education program — a dinner, our gold ear hats, and the park after hours with a small group of agents.

Today I’m touring the Disney Treasure.
This is the part of the job most people don’t see. I’m not reading about these ships and parks from my kitchen table. I’m walking them, asking the questions your family would ask, and taking notes on the things that actually matter when you’re travelling with kids.

Lots more coming this week!

What’s the one thing you’d want me to look at on the Disney Treasure while I’m on board? Tell me in the comments and I’ll go find it.

Another Park down and an amazing dinner!!

We rope dropped magic kingdom and I must say the crowds have been very minimal this trip with all the Floridians back at school.

We got on Pooh, Peter Pan, Ariel, Haunted Mansion, Mad Hatter Tea Cups all before 9:30 no lightning lane. We did have early entry for staying on resort which is a huge bonus.

We did some more rides and headed back to the resort to cool off at the pool around 11 and then we travel back to the Magic Kingdom resorts to walk around before dinner.

Highlight of the day was dinner at 1900 Park Fare at the Grand Floridian. I absolutely would recommend this character dinner and it was only 1 dining credit. We saw Aladdin, Tiana, Cinderella and Mirabel and the food was fantastic!!!

We tried to go back to Magic Kingdom but a huge storm rolled in. Hot tip - always have rain gear in Florida!!

Today we are off to Epcot for the opening day of the Food and W**e festival!

What’a your favourite character dinner spot?

1 Park Day Down and a few more to go!!

Yesterday we got in around 11:30, got settled art Art of Animation and headed over the Hollywood Studios on the skyliner. It was HOT!

We did a few rides and did a Fantasmic Dining Package for dinner at Minnie’s Hollywood and Vine. It was great because all the characters were in their Halloween outfits.

Then we did a few more rides and shopping before our Fantasmic show at 8:30pm

Tell me have you see Fantasmic? I highly recommend adding this to you Must Do list when planning your trip.

Also all these photos were from our Memory Maker! Ask me how to add that to your trip to get unbelievable high quality pictures to remember all those magic moments!

Not sure where to start? Send me a message, I’ll help you tackle your must dos for your trip to Disney World or any Disney Vacation on your mind. And all my planning services are free!
