This week, I'm answering some of the questions you all submitted for my Q&A! We're talking everything from vacation tips to blogging to dream Disney jobs! Here we go:
Favorite park and why?
This was by far the most asked question and this is a question I've never actually answered because it is so hard for me to pick a favorite! I love them all for different reasons. My first instinct is to say Magic Kingdom, because that is always our first and last stop on every trip. Main Street and the castle are the first signs that I am home in the parks and the last thing we say goodbye to! I also love browsing and shopping all the Disney things so I also spend so much time with a Joffrey's coffee roaming up and down Main Street :) Amazing rides, yummy snacks and meals, energetic parades, and fascinating fireworks-- what more could a girl want? I also loooove Epcot, especially during a festival! I'm a planner so I love seeing all the new snacks and happenings that come with the festivals and discovering all the new things I want to try (and old-- I'm counting down the days until my next taste of frushi:)! Hollywood Studios is also a favorite because I love love love all things vintage so that old Hollywood vibe when you first enter the park is EVERYTHING to me! My family is also super competitive with each other, so our rounds of Toy Story Mania are some of the most exciting times of our trips. And of course, Animal Kingdom is also the greatest! Flights of Passage-- enough said. But also I am absolutely obsessed with the Festival of the Lion King and Finding Nemo - The Musical and watch them over over and they never get old.
This question definitely turned into little tidbits of my favorite thing in each park, LOL. I guess I've still never actually answered the original question, oops :)
If someone could only eat at one table service restaurant on property, which one should it be? / What is your favorite restaurant?
'Ohana! Hands down! No question! This is the best meal I have ever had, in Disney World or anywhere else in the world! If you go for dinner (which we always do and I highly recommend) they have one menu that everyone gets! You can check out that menu here. It's everything. The food is so good and the restaurant has a great atmosphere inside Disney's Polynesian Resort! There is almost always a cousin (because we're all family here-- Ohana means family :) playing the ukulele and singing and chatting as you wait.
What are the best things to do in Disney if you're not a little kid?
I love getting this question! And my favorite way to answer it is to share my speech, Disney World for the Kid at Heart:
I also like to think that all of Disney World is perfect for adults, even the parts that may seem more geared towards kids like character meet and greets or certain rides, because we all have that little kid inside of us :) But as an adult, some of my favorite things to do, like mentioned in this video, are attend the festivals and try the new food and drinks, resort hop and check out all the amazing designs and shopping in all the resorts, try the famous snacks and meals in the parks, and roam Disney Springs.
How to avoid getting lost in the parks?
Maps! Even though I've gone to Disney World basically my whole life and pretty much know the place like the back of my hand, we always pick up a map and a times guide as soon as we enter the park! It helps to look at the map and plan our day or just our next step. Also, the My Disney Experience app has a map that you can use on your phone and works like a gps within the parks! This is super helpful because you can search and use filters to find exactly what you're looking for.
Tips for saving money on your Disney trip?
This is a great question-- and one I may need to do a whole post on sometime! I love searching and finding the best deals on savings when booking our Disney trips. I first recommend checking out Disney's Special Offers, Deals, and Discounts page. If you're a little flexible on when you can go, try to book something around a time when a great deal is going on. We're saving a lot on our next trip because we booked it with the Bounce Back Offer. You can get this discount by booking your next Disney vacation while currently on a Disney vacation staying in a Disney Resort. It's also great to chat with a Disney Vacation Planner! They can help you find all the deals and steals and help you with every aspect of your trip, and the best part is, it's totally free for you to work with them!
Definitely will have more on this question in the future!
Why did you start a blog?
So prior to starting my blog, I had my Disney Instagram account for about a year. I started that account because I wanted a platform to share and obsess all about Disney and that was my first step. I had always wanted to start a blog along with it, but never felt like I had time. Then this semester in college, I am in a class called Social Media and PR that I am taking for my Publishing major and Public Relations minor. One of our semester-long assignments was to create and maintain a blog. This was an absolute DREAM for me because I finally had time to start this blog because now it is my homework (which of course, doesn't feel like homework at all. It is way too much fun!) We have this assignment so we can gain hands-on experience to learn about social media and public relations. So not only am I learning so many things I will be able to use in my future career, but I'm also getting to fulfill a dream of Disney blogging! This is definitely something I will continue after this class, as one of the things I am learning is time management and planning :)
I love the opportunity to share on this blog with all of you to connect with a community based on our love of Disney and hopefully share new things for you to help you have the best Disney vacation ever!
Favorite thing to post on Instagram?
I love making Stories, especially in the parks! Stories are such a fun and creative way for me to document my days in the parks for memories and to share with you! And food, specifically snacks! Disney snacks are too pretty and yummy not to share!!
What would your dream job be at Disney?
Ooh, this is a fun one! I am actually a Publishing major in college, so I think a fun job with Disney would be to be an editor for Disney Publishing Worldwide :) Or related to Disney World and the parks, I think it would be so fun to do something involved with social media marketing/publicity/public relations.
How excited are you for your next Disney vacation?
I COULD NOT POSSIBLY BE MORE EXCITED TO GO BACK *HOME*
Official countdown as of today is 54 days!! My family and I are going back mid-May, which is our favorite time to go. Usually great weather, some of the lower crowds for spring/summer, Flower and Garden Festival in Epcot, and just ALL the good things :)
Thanks so much for sending me your questions! We'll have to do this again soon :)
Have the best day ever, friends!!
