There’s something so magical about small cobbles

There’s something so magical about small cobblestone streets, particularly this one that ends in the sea 🪨🌊 All those nooks and crannies have so much history and character. I would happily get lost wandering these pathways…you never know what adventure you might find 🥰

The Hogwarts Express is back in service! 🎄🚂
.
Confession: I’ve been lacking in Christmas spirit this year, but we finally got our tree up and it feels magical. We watched Nightmare Before Christmas as we decorated and got excited by each ornament we found. New home combined with old traditions = MAGIC😊✨

A visit from Grogu and a Wookiee made vaccine #2 soooooo much easier! 🥰
.
It’s hard to even express the relief I feel right now. To know he has an extra layer of protection is like a 2 ton weight being lifted from my chest. We can finally travel again!!
.
I am so thankful for all of the volunteers who made this experience so wonderful for these kids and for the scientists who have worked non-stop to get us here. My family is forever grateful 💕

With only 2 days notice, Disney announced that Disney Genie will be available at Disneyland this Wednesday, December 8th! 🧞‍♂️
.
Disney Genie+ will be available for $20 per ticket per day at both Disneyland and Disney California Adventure giving you the option to select the next avail@ride time at select attractions. Additionally, individual Lightning Lane passes can be purchased for Rise of the Resistance, Radiator Springs Racers and WEBSLINGERS for $7-20 each.
.
This is very similar to Walt Disney World’s system, except you can’t purchase DG+ until you enter the park. I’m super excited that I actually have clients in Disneyland RIGHT NOW, so I will get a firsthand report of the roll out. 😃 Hit me up with any questions!

Having a sick kiddo is the worst!
Last night, he said his ear was hurting and proceeded to hardly sleep all night. We then spent 2 hours at Urgent Care on a Sunday morning to get a negative strep test and tell us he has no fever and a possible ear infection 🤷🏻‍♀️ This was followed by hours of “negotiations” and panic attacks about taking medicine because he hates the taste so much (he has no idea what it tastes like!). I even crushed up orange chewable ibuprofen and mixed it with chocolate to make candy 🙄💊🍊🍫 His strong will will serve him well one day, I will most likely be fully grey from stress at that point. 😩👩🏻‍🦳

It may be getting colder outside, but you should really thinking about your Spring Break plans NOW and San Sebastián, Spain should be one of the places you’re think about! 🇪🇸
.
The weather is beautiful and the food is on point in this culinary Mecca in the Basque region of Spain. You can wander the streets sampling pintxos (tapas) and local Riojas. You can lounge on the beautiful beaches and relax. You can take in the historical landmarks and immerse yourself in the Basque culture. The perfect Spring escape 😊
.
Where are you thinking of going for Spring Break in 2022?

Christmas came early in the form of a @onepeloton Bike+ 🙀🚴🏻‍♀️😻
.
I’m so excited to build my endurance back up as it has been in the crapper lately. I used to take spin classes pre-pandemic and I can’t wait to get back in the saddle.
.
And the cool thing is that you can do scenic rides all over the world, so it’s like traveling without leaving your home! Look C even went to Iceland today 😃 For those of us with the travel bug and missing the frequency of it, this is super fun!

Do you have a Peloton? DM me your name so we can connect!

Cirque du Soleil X Disney…two of my favorite things! Drawn to Life debuted this week at Walt Disney World and it looks AMAZING. So good that I just bought tickets for February and I can’t wait! 😃🤸🏻‍♀️🎨🖌😍

Have you ever been to a Cirque du Soleil show? This will be our 4th performance, but C’s first…I think he will be blown away!

What an incredible experience today as C got his first Covid vaccine. I found a kids clinic that had a Star Wars theme and these volunteers went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable. He HATES shots and was so nervous, but they were able to cheer him right up to where he didn’t even cry while getting it! I mean, he was holding a lightsaber…you gotta be pretty brave to be a Jedi! I’m so proud 🥰
.
I don’t know who these women are, but THANK YOU. You not only calmed a little boy, but you helped this nervous Mama too. We’re forever grateful 💕✨💉😷🙏🏻🌈

I had the incredible privilege of helping this beautiful family celebrate their 15th anniversary in Hawaii with their 3 children. They spent 4 nights in Kapalua on Maui, then spent a week at Disney’s Aulani Resort on Oahu. I had so much fun finding activities and restaurants that perfectly for their family’s needs. I even found them a private chef to make a special meal for them on their anniversary! 👩🏻‍🍳
.
These types of trips are my favorite to plan. Coordinating every detail to make their dream vacation become reality is so fulfilling and my passion. I would love to help your dreams come true as well! 💕✨ Let’s do it!

With today being the start of the @rundisney Wine

With today being the start of the @rundisney Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend, I thought I’d throw it back 9 years 🙀 to my first Wine & Dine race! 🏃🏻‍♀️🍷🍝
.
This is the first in-person #runDisney race weekend since February 2020, so it will be exciting to see any changes they’ve made.
.
Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend used to be my favorite! It started as a morning 5K and an evening half marathon with a really fun vibe and an after party to 4am! These days it’s spread out over 4 days with 3 morning races and Kids Races! The theme is still the best of all the runDisney races even if the format has changed.
.
I love helping people build races into their family vacations. There is something for everyone and it’s a fun, new way to experience Walt Disney World. Have you ever considered a runDisney race?

C was super excited to see the voting process today and he even helped me fill in a bubble. He’s always been my sidekick and I’m glad I was able to show him this experience today to stress the importance of why we all need to vote. I never take this right for granted. ✌🏻

Wildlife, Glaciers, Wilderness…Alaska is a nature lovers paradise 😍❄️🐻
It’s not somewhere I ever thought I’d go because I don’t love the cold 🥶 but the more I learn about it, the more it draws me in.

🌸 Springtime is when all the wildlife emerges and you can see baby bears in Denali Nation Park! 🐻🦌

🌞 Summer brings almost 20 hours of sunlight bringing warmth and abundance to the land.

🍁 Fall is when the Northern Lights appear in all their magnificence.

❄️ Winter…we’ll it’s just cold and you might like that, but you won’t find me there 🙅🏻‍♀️

All of the seasons have their own flavor and I can’t wait to get there to see it with my own eyes!

Have you thought about going to Alaska? What do you want to experience??

6.5 acres of corn, 4+ miles of walking, 3 hours and only 5 out of the 6 clues were found 😵‍💫
The @treatfarmorange corn maze is NO JOKE, but it is so much fun! This is by far my favorite thing to do in the fall, well besides eating copious amounts of apple cider donuts 🙃🍩.
.
New England has so many amazing, fun fall activities. Apple picking, hayrides, haunted trails, pumpkin patches, leaf peeping…all the things!
What’s your favorite thing to do in the fall?? 🍎🌽🎃🍁🍂👻

Hey Walt Disney World…Happy 50th Birthday 🥰🎉🎂
Thanks for continuing to be my happy place and home away from home for the last 36 years. Some of my most favorite memories have been made in your parks, resorts, and especially your restaurants. You’ve made many changes throughout the years (many of which I’m not thrilled about 😬), but you will always be my second home.
.
As far as celebrations go, the 50th is rad, but it still will never beat that 25th birthday cake 😆🎂💕 (see last slide if you don’t know what I mean 😉). Can’t wait to celebrate with you in a few months 🥰
.
Thanks to @amandatinney, my Disney soul sister and fellow EPCOT Center purist, for the inspiration for this post 💕🥰✨🌐

Venice has always intrigued me, a city seemingly frozen in time, surrounded by the sea. I long to get lost in its narrow streets, float down the Grand Canal and be immersed in the culture.
.
Venice is known for its romance, but it is actually a fantastic place for families looking for art, adventure and history. 🎨🎭🏰 You never know what you’ll find…maybe a floating violin! Have you been?
.
.
.
#Repost posted @withregram • @nytimes This 39-foot-long violin floating down the Grand Canal — built by local artisans and carrying musicians performing a live concert — sets a course for Venice’s future.

“The violin is a sign of Venice restarting” after the lockdown, said Livio De Marchi, a Venetian artist, who conceived the idea last year.

The craft, called “Noah’s Violin,” set sail on Saturday morning accompanied by an escort of gondolas, and in no time was joined by a small flotilla of motorboats, water taxis and traditional flat-bottomed Venetian sandoli. The violin glided from city hall, near the Rialto Bridge, to the ancient Customs House across from Piazza San Marco, about an hour’s journey.

De Marchi named the work “Noah’s Violin” because, like the ark, it was meant to bring a message of hope after a storm, in this case a message promoting “art, culture and music,” he said. People gathered on the Ponte dell’Accademia and along the paved banks of the Grand Canal to watch the floating concert, which included works by Vivaldi, Bach and Schubert. Bemused travelers took photos from vaporettos, the city’s large public-transport boats.

Tap the link in our bio to read more about the floating violin and why De Marchi and others see it as a symbol of hope. Photo by @sw_photo
