                                      Hey-Howdy-Hey, everyone!      Well, it's that time of year again... the weather is starting to cool, (It went from 98 to 91 in Orlando, but that still counts!), Pumpkin Spice Lattes are due back in stores soon, kids are going back to school, and Disney Parks have already started stocking their shelves with Halloween merchandise. (Really.) I think it's safe to say that Fall is almost upon us.      Now, if you have ever done any research about a trip to Walt Disney World in the Fall, I am sure that you have heard of a little something called "Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party."  What IS MNSSHP, you ask? Well, it is a special, hard ticketed event at the Magic Kingdom, occurring a couple of times per week, on designated dates. This year's dates are: Sept. 2nd, 8th, 11th, 13th, 16th, 18th, 20th, 23rd, 25th, 29th, 30th, Oct. 2nd, 4th, 6th, 7th, 10th, 11th, 13th, 14th, 16th, 18th, 20th, 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27t

Aulani, a Disney Resort in  Ko'Olina, Hawai'i For those who have the opportunity to experience Disney’s Aulani Resort & Spa in Hawaii, the dining options can be somewhat of a mystery until you arrive and experience them for yourself.  As I was pleased to discover, the food at Aulani is very delicious! For the incredible 10 days I was there I managed to try new foods and find new favorites.   There are two restaurants on-site that take advanced reservations, Ama Ama and Makahiki .   I suggest booking 6 months prior to travel to get your preferred dining times, especially for Ama Ama . Try to get a dining time during sunset for a gorgeous view.

Disney Cruise ship docked at Castaway Cay If you want an incredible family vacation that everyone will be talking about for years to come, with the least amount of stress possible, then a Disney cruise is definitely for you!!  My family and I just went on an Eastern Caribbean cruise on the Disney Fantasy along with four other families (a total of 26 people!) and Disney Cruise Line could not have made it any easier for us to coordinate our plans.

They Link Your Reservations: The very first step your Kingdom Konsultant travel agent will do for you is link all of the reservations together in the system. This basically lets Disney know that you are all traveling together, and they will accommodate your entire group at the same time. This makes coordinating things so much easier! 2. The Navigator App:  Make sure to download the Disney Cruise Navigator App on your smart phone before you leave for you
