FREE Concierge Vacation Planning
FREE Concierge Vacation Planning Services
My concierge vacation planning services are FREE when you book an on-site Disney resort with a minimum of 3 days of park tickets.
I get the exact same pricing and promotions as booking directly through Disney, and will automatically apply discounts to your reservation as soon as they become available.
You'll get my FREE concierge vacation planing services at NO cost to you. I'll help you decide on the best resort for your family, the ticket type, dining reservations and develop a park touring plan catered to your family's interests. I'll also make suggestions on extras that your family may enjoy and tips and tricks all along the way to make your Disney vacation even more magical!
The Disney Experience Post-COVID-19
COVID-19 has changed the Disney experience, but there is still magic to be had. Below I have outlined some of the differences you can expect to see for the foreseeable future. Last update 9/10/22
- Masks are NOT required.
- The parks are running at limited capacity and require park pass reservations to be made at each park, each day you attend that will guarantee your entrance into that park. GUESTS must make this reservation after we get you booked because GUESTS must sign off on Disney's COVID waiver. I can't book these for you!
- Fast Passes have been eliminated.
- Genie+ is now available for $15.98 (including tax) per person, per day. Learn more here.
- All onsite guests will get EARLY morning park access at all 4 main parks, 30 minutes before regular park open. Click here to see the rides that will be open.
- All DELUXE and DELUXE VILLA Resort guests will have extra evening access at specific parks. Click here for schedule.
- Many character meals have been temporarily halted, some are still happening. Chef Mickey's, Garden Grill, Toppolino's Terrace Breakfast, Be Our Guest, Cinderella's Royal Table (just Cinderella), Hollywood & Vine, Tusker House & Artist's Point have re-opened.
- Fireworks are BACK at Magic Kingdom and Epcot!
- Parades are BACK at Magic Kingdom!
- Limited live shows: currently Frozen Ever After Sing along, Lion King, Beauty & The Beast and Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular
- Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique has re-opened at Magic Kingdom only.
- No dining plans available :(
- Modified park hopping, you can hop until after 2pm - and your second park can only be hopped to IF there is availability - so far there hasn't been any issue with clients hopping to a second park.
- Dining reservations are being made at 60 days before travel, and are a little harder to get because of the limited capacity at the restaurants - I have tricks to get you the reservations you want!
- The Skyliner is open and is so much fun - it brings guests to Epcot and Hollywood Studios from Art of Animation, Pop Century, Caribbean Beach, The Riviera, The Boardwalk and the Beach and Yacht Clubs
- Enhanced cleaning protocols
- Not all restaurants are open yet
- Policies are constantly changing - I'll do my best to keep this updated but read here for all current policies: https://tinyurl.com/DisneyKnowBeforeUGO
