Disney After Hours

2023-10-06T22:09:11-04:00November 7, 2017|Disney Travel|

  Returning for select nights in early 2018 is the Disney After Hours event! I had the opportunity to attend this event earlier this year and I loved every minute! Disney After Hours is by far my favorite “extra” I’ve added on to my vacations in the last couple of years – I think you’ll love it, too! Disney After Hours is a hard-ticketed event, meaning it costs extra to attend, however a regular park ticket is not necessary – only the event ticket! My friend I decided to forgo buying a park ticket for that day and instead only [...]

When you think of Disney Resort Hotels, you may think of the classic Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. Or you may think of the iconic Contemporary Resort. These hotels are located near Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World in Florida. But there's another very classic Disney Resort Hotel that's located near Epcot - Just past Epcot's "Back Entrance" at the International Gateway, and within easy walking distance of the park. It's Disney's Beach Club Resort, and it's one of my personal favorites! The style here is very traditional, with calming tones of yellow and blue, and there are several room [...]

2023-10-06T22:07:57-04:00October 12, 2017|Disney Travel|

This past summer, the Minnie Vans were introduced as a new transportation option at the Walt Disney World Resort!
