I am on my way! I am delighted to share that I will be sailing on the Disney Destiny next week!

Surprising fact about me: Not only is this my first Disney cruise, this is my first-ever cruise. Period. So I’ll have a lot to share from the perspective of a parks expert, but absolute cruise newbie. If you have any DCL tips to share, let me know in the comments! This is an all new adventure for me (but not Adventure, that’s a different ship).

But back to the Destiny: there is SO MUCH to do on board. I am so excited to sip on a levitating cocktail in The Sanctum, parrrrrrty hard during Pirates Night, and see my favorite Greek demigod go from zero to hero in the new Hercules stage show.

I will also resist the urge to just spend the entire sailing in the Haunted Mansion Parlor (which I’ve been dying to try). I am going to check out everything this ship has to offer, and share all the insights I learn here.

So stay tuned for many more updates and A LOT more cruise content on my channel. This is destined to be amazing.

My thanks to ‪@DisneyParks‬ for the invite.

“Where did you get that shirt?” That’s a question I’ve been getting a lot lately. And real talk: I never thought anybody would ever ask me *anything* about fashion. But I like to stay on brand in my videos and in the parks with fun attraction shirts, so I get that question more than I would have ever imagined.

The answer for everything in this post is shoplbv.com 

First of all, I love that they have shirts that show off some of my favorite rides/attractions that typically are underrepresented in merch. People Mover (You’ve seen me wear that TTA shirt in many videos by now). Carousel of Progress. There’s even an Electric Water Pageant shirt, which is such a great deep cut that makes me very happy as a Disney World nerd.

Maria and Chris very kindly gifted Bethany and I some shirts ahead of a big event last month, where I had the opportunity to interview a lot of people behind the magic at Disney. And I got so many compliments on my shirts throughout that week.

Whether it was being on camera with the Show Director of Disney Starlight or Walt Disney World Ambassador Shannon, having an impromptu dance party with our kids at Animal Kingdom, or rocking the “Nightmare on Main Street” during Mickey’s No So Scary, it was always nice to know I was doing it in style.

This isn’t an ad or a sponsored post in any way. I just legitimately am a fan of the shirts and the designs, and I’ve gotten enough comments and DMs asking where to get the shirts that I know a lot of you out there are as well. Plus, Bethany is thrilled that we now have more matching options for when we go to the parks. My thanks to Maria and Chris for the awesome shirts.

🌌Disney World’s BEST event for low lines is back in 2026.

Here’s everything you need to know.

Disney After Hours is one of my favorite events. Hot take: I’d choose it over the holiday parties. Yes, those have amazing themed entertainment and atmosphere, plus special character meet and greets. But Disney After Hours has something that I find even more amazing: truly low crowds.

Capacity is very limited for these After Hours events, which take place 3 hours after regular park closing. So pretty much every ride in the park is a walk on. Want to do Guardians over and over and over? You can. Just keep going on Tron and Seven Dwarfs Mine Train? Sure! Ride Millennium Falcon until you’ve been in all 6 seats? Go for it! Plus, there’s unlimited treats and sodas. Nothing feels better than just being able to grab a Mickey Bar from a kiosk without having to take out your wallet.

Disney After Hours takes place on select dates between January and September 2026 at Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and Hollywood Studios. See carousel images for the specific dates. A separate ticket is required, and they range from $155-$199 depending on the date and the park. Tickets go on sale October 9 for Resort guests, and Oct 14 for everyone else.

Seriously, consider adding an After Hours event to your next WDW vacation. You can pretty much do every single ride in the park if you want to.

New Video: My EPCOT Food & Wine Game Plan https://youtu.be/YFJh0jP1p4Q 

I made a mistake going into this year's EPCOT Food & Wine Festival. I attempted to DO IT ALL, but I did not have the right strategy. So I ended up almost taking a cat nap inside Connections Eatery. To help you not make the same mistake, I brought in some experts, including Disney's culinary team, a Walt Disney World ambassador, and ‪@MagicalHijinx‬ to share all the must-do's from the festival.

This video is a bit different than what I usually do, but I'm really proud of how it came together. There's a ton of fun conversations, and a lot of great tips and recommendations. Please enjoy!
