New Mask Rules at Disney Dining

Disney recently updated the face covering policy for dining on their Know Before You Go page.  While the internet has been blowing up with theories, we tested and asked questions about the on-ground implementation with our friend Doctor Disney.  Listen to what we came up with.  It’s rather simple, and not a real burden to anyone.

Walt Disney World Resort 101

Walt Disney World Resort 101.  Yes, sometimes we just need to take a step back and start at the beginning.

In this episode, we take a look at the 4 different resort categories at Walt Disney World Resort.

Value, Moderate, Deluxe, and Deluxe Villa are the 4 main categories, and each has a price point to fit every family’s budget.

Whether you are looking for a place to lay your head at the end of a long day, or you are looking to play on the water slides and have a character meal, there’s a resort option for you.

Karen and Jeff will walk you through each category, and even give you some example of resorts inside each with their unique insight.

Disneyland – Make it Your Vacation Destination

Disneyland has become our favorite vacation destination.  Without question.

So many of our guests ask these questions, though…… Isn’t it so far away?  Isn’t it just a small park?  Isn’t is just a ‘one day’ vacation?

NO, no, no, no, and no.

In this episode, we explain why Disneyland is the perfect family destination.  From having 2 full theme parks within walking distance of each other, to having 3 onsite resorts you can walk to as well, Disneyland is the perfect vacation destination for families.

Imagine not having to deal with buses, boats, monorails, or cars.  

And if you’ve traveled to Walt Disney World before, there are so many differences that you may not be aware of.  

Join us as we discuss all the great vacation opportunities that await your family in Disneyland Resort.

And then reach out to the wonderful Dream Designer travel professionals at My Mickey Vacation Travel to get started planning your vacation.
