You can book a Disney Cruise yourself or with just about anyone! Why book it with me?

Well, first off, it is free. I do not charge for my services like some agents and agencies do. Disney Cruise Line pays me and the cost of your cruise is the same as if you booked it with them, you get me and all my knowledge & expertise for free!

Secondly, due to my knowledge and affiliation with an earmarked agency, I can actually save you money. I know the best times to reserve and travel to get the most bang for your buck.

Thirdly, my knowledge of the Disney Brand will save you time and energy. You will not have to go crazy researching and looking for answers because I will have them for you or know how to get them very quickly.

Day 4 of the 12 Days of the Disney Treasure – Haunted Mansion Parlor

December 30, 2024December 30, 2024 WDW Dreams Into Memories1 Comment

The Haunted Mansion Parlor is an incredibly immersive bar on the Disney Treasure. You will feel as if you are right there with Master Gracey. As you enter, you will notice familiar signage such as Tomb Sweet Tomb and some other fun hidden surprises. Does that door look familiar?!

Once inside, this place really comes to life….or…death? According to Treasure Lore, a captain has entered this ghostly realm after an unfortunate dinner with his fiance. What iconic relics can you spot? My favorite was the “Donald Chair”!

During certain parts of the evening, well-known friends will make an appearance such as Leota, the Hitchhiking Ghosts, the changing portraits, and more!

And the drinks! Not sure who in the “other” realm is creating these concoctions, but they are pretty special. Take your time with the menu and really explore it. For adventurous guests there is a little game involved which can unlock an extra special beverage for 2!

They have incredibly fun alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages and there is truly something for everyone. The Hatbox Ghost sipper/soda is really special. Hint: Save your soda bottle but be sure to put it away once in your stateroom. The oh-so-incredibly room attendants will see an empty bottle and want to clean it up for you. That goes for anything you want to save that may resemble “trash”.

You will want to have your camera out and ready at all times in this Parlor because you really never know what will happen around you.

The Parlor opens at 4 on most days. To get a spot in one of the more preferred seats or to see the parlor with less people, I suggest you get there around 3:50 one day.

Day 3 of the 12 Days of the Disney Treasure – Kid’s Clubs

December 19, 2024 WDW Dreams Into Memories

The emotional magic of Disney Treasure’s Kid’s Clubs. Let’s talk about that moment. The magical moment when you step into their favorite movies and their dreams. It all starts by jumping into the incredibly fun twisty tube slide – because why wouldn’t you take a slide into your kid’s club?! They make sure hands are properly sanitized and check each child in. It’s a very secure system! From there, the possibilities are endless!

When I first walked in, the “Tank Gang” from Nemo was initiating all the new members into tank hood. They were dressed as fish and had the kids “swimming through the ring of fire.” It was so sweet. These kids are not worried about where Mom and Dad are, they are living it up in an independent, safe, incredibly fun space. They are in adventure mode and you are free to enjoy some guilt-free time enjoying the more adult areas of the ship.

It’s A Small World Nursery – (6 months – 3 years) This is a space for the smallest Mouseketeers and it does require reservations to attend.

This whimsical space is perfectly themed and decorated to entertain your little ones. There is a peaceful and quiet nap space if someone needs to rest their head while they are there. There is also a great little playroom. Additional rates do apply to this club and the cast members are highly trained to work with this age group. You make reservations through the app and if you need to cancel, do so more than 4 hours in advance to avoid cancellation fees.

Oceaneer Club – (3-10 years) Kids can train to be a superhero at the Marvel Super Hero Academy. There, they can also meet friends like Black Panther, Captain America, and more.

In Fairytale Hall, kiddos can spend time with Belle in her Library, create artwork in Rapunzel’s Art Studio, and take part in fun winter activities in Ana & Elsa’s Summerhaus.

In Minnie & Mickey’s Captain’s Deck, kiddos can jump, climb, and crawl through all sorts of fun climbing structures. It is a great place to get their wiggles out!

In the Imagineering Lab, kids can sketch, draw, paint, and create magic in this special art studio. Maybe you have a future imagineer on your hands! It seems that the favorite activity in this area is the virtual roller coaster. Kiddos can create and ride their own creation. It is pretty incredible!

Star Wars Cargo Bay – Mouseketeers will feel like they just stepped off the Millenium Falcon. There are so many fun areas to explore. The best part is all the different creatures in the cargo bay. The Porg is my favorite! Be sure to turn the water wheel over by the big tank for a surprise!

Edge – (11-14 years) The Edge is a great spot for the tweens and young tweens get to kick back and enjoy some “them” time. It has a perfect little hideaway spot in the back of deck 5. Once in, kids have an opportunity to post their name and some fun facts on a board along with their counselors. They play ice breakers so even the shyest kiddos get to know one another.

There is a soda bar, arts and crafts tables, game tables, video game consoles/TV’s and a great space for them to do all the counselor-led activities.

Vibe – (14-17 years) The Vibe is up on deck next to the Hero Zone. There are comfy areas to relax and hang out. Big screens and video games are there to enjoy all day. There is a bar that serves soda, smoothies, milkshakes, coffee and more. There are also table games and board games. Foosball at sea!

The Hideaway – (18 – 20 years) This spot, new to the Wish and Treasure, gives those young adults a great space to hang in when they are not quite old enough for the adult lounges but too cool for kids clubs. It has a dance floor and DJ booth and they have some great parties! Most of all, it is a space for that age group to find others and make new friendships.

These clubs are a paradise for the younger sailors. When you are ready to plan your families vacation and make memories that you will talk about for a lifetime, let me know. See ya real soon!

Day 2 of the 12 Days of the Disney Treasure – Dining

December 17, 2024December 19, 2024 WDW Dreams Into Memories

Disney Cruise Line has some of the most delicious and beautifully prepared foods on the high seas. Not only does it taste great but the dining venues on each ship are incredibly themed. The ships all have 3 main dining rooms that you will rotate through for your dinners onboard. The Disney Treasure has 1923, Marvel(same as the wish), and their dinner theater – Cocoa.

1923 is decorated to how off the legacy of the Walt Disney Company. There are animation cells, props, and all types of decor from the last 99 years of film. It has two identical dining rooms, Walt and Roy Disney. The cuisine is inspired by Californian cuisine, as the studio was founded in southern California.

The Marvel Restaurant will have 2 different shows since you will dine here twice. Both are pretty amazing. This is an interactive dining experience and you get to take a roll in saving Ant-Man using Pym technology. The second show on the Treasure has you helping Groot show Rocket how much he is loved. The menu is inspired by the many destinations that our Marvel heroes visit throughout the galaxy.

The third rotation of dining is Plaza de Coco. This restaurant feels so authentic and they treat you like la famiglia. There are two seatings here and you will join Coco and his family in his hometown and celebrate with them. The singers, dancers, and Coco characters share their heritage and traditions with you as you dine on authentic flavors from Mexico. It was delicious and I highly recommend the empanada!

If you are looking for something more upscale, adults-only option, Palo and Enchante are for you! Palo is a cross between Italian food and steakhouse for dinner but brunch is my absolute favorite! Did you know that when you have sailed on your 10th Disney Cruise, you receive a complimentary Palo brunch!

Enchante is Beauty and the Beast themed and serves French inspired cuisine. It is stunning and a very incredible experience. Both of these restaurants highly suggest reservations and they do sell out. They are fees associated with dining at either of these sots but it is well worth it!

Then there is the Marceline Market which is a wonderful buffet that has something for everyone. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner and you can find everything from chicken tenders to crab legs. What I loved about this buffet compared to other cruise lines is that the food is broken up by cuisine at individual counters. This allows guests to pop in and out of the lines they want instead of just one long line. And of course, you can’t beat the view!

If you are looking for a mid day or late night bite to eat but don’t want to leave the pool area, Mickey & Friends Festival of Foods is where you want to be! Each of Mickeys friends has a different cuisine at their station. It is a great place to stop while enjoying the pools since it is on the pool deck. It is comfortable and informal and many guests grab a plate and head back to their sun lounger. The stations are Mickey’s Smokestack Barbecue, Sweet Minnie’s Ice Cream, Goofy’s Grill, Donald’s Cantina, and Daisy’s Pizza Pies. My favorite is Donald’s Cantina. I love getting their taco bowls. The ingredients are super fresh and they have a great little salsa bar. Daisy’s pizza really hits the spot later in the evening after the fireworks or a deck party.

There are other lounges and stores that offer some fun treats but they are an added expense. At Jumbeaux’s Sweets you can find gelato, cookies, cakes and more. I tried the gelato, macaroons, and a “pawcicle” and they were all delish!

The Periscope Pub and Skipper’s Society offer yummy bites as well. The pub has traditional English fare. I heard the fish and chips are excellent. Skippers offers lots of fun themed little snacks.

The dining onboard the Disney Treasure is wonderfully themed and delicious. There is something for everyone at any time of day. Do not forget about room service – Hint: as for a Mickey Head!

If you are ready to learn more about the Treasure or would be interested in pricing, please reach out. The best pricing is always available when dates are released and as you get closer to the sailing, the price raises based on capacity. I am currently holding a giveaway for an Inaugural Sailing pair of Disney Treasure ears. You are entered when you reserve through me. Also, let’s talk about our onboard gifting program as well. See ya real soon!

The Disney Treasure

December 16, 2024 WDW Dreams Into Memories

I was incredibly blessed with the opportunity to set sail on a pre-inaugural sailing on the Disney treasure. This sailing was hosted by Disney for specially chosen media and Travel agencies and I couldn’t believe that I got to be a part of it. The ship is easily one of my favorites, and I fell in love with all the magic and incredible theming throughout.

From the moment I stepped into the stunning atrium, I was in awe of my surroundings. Every fixture and furnishing was specifically picked to reflect the incredible decor that will send you on a treasure hunt to remember. This is the first Disney Ship that has a more adventurous feel. Of course, there are princesses abound, but what I loved most was that they focused heavily on adventure. Stories such as Aladdin, Up, Encanto, Peter Pan, Moana, 20,000 leagues under the Sea, Marvel, Lion King, Cocoa, Haunted Mansion, and the Jungle Cruise were the main focus of the magic on this ship. As agents, we are so excited for our clients with little adventure seekers.

Over the next 12 days, I will be sharing a series with you that I’m calling “12 Days of Treasure”. It will focus on the Treasure and its many offerings.

If you have any questions about the Disney Treasure or Disney Cruise Line, please contact me. If you are ready to turn your Disney Dreams into memories that will be talked about for years, now is a great time! Disney Cruise line is currently running a promotion for half off of the deposit. Also, I have an inaugural sailing Disney Treasure pair of ears to give away. When you reserve with me, you are entered to win! I am implementing a new onboard credit gift-plan as well so stay tuned for that! As always, planning with me is complementary and you get my knowledge, experience, and expertise along with my time. See ya real soon!
