Part 2  Here are the last six things I recommend packing for your magical vacation.  7. Empty Luggage or Large Bag/Duffle for Souvenirs You may feel foolish checking in an empty piece of luggage however you will appreciate it on your departure day.   This can by used for your souvenirs that you have collected over the course of your vacation.   Believe me, you don’t realize the amount until you spread it out on the bed to try and pack it all!   Another option is to fold up a large bag (carry-on size) and pack it.   Then stuff it full of your precious purchases and carry it with you to keep it safe and protected.   My yearly Xmas ornaments would never make it home in one piece otherwise! 8. External Battery to Charge Phone In Disney, you don’t only use your phone to call your spouse, friends and family.   The My Disney Experience app is a useful tool you will use often throughout your vacation.   And when you are not using Memory Maker photographers you will b

Lots of guest to the Disney resorts and park know all about the Magic that happens everyday! From parades to firework shows and character meets to rides a day at Disney is magical. Do you know about those bits of magic that are a little more hidden? The ones you happen to stumble on while walking in the parks? I was lucky to come across one that inspired me. A custodial cast member was diligently doing his job one day in the Magic Kingdom and I thought nothing of it until I looked again! Using a simple broom, dust pan, and a little water he created elaborate images of beloved Disney characters on the walking paths for guests to enjoy!   These images evaporate quickly in the hot Florida sun, but for those few magical moments, adults stopped to look and children laughed and pointed at the unexpected delight. The next time you are strolling though a park take a few minutes to look around and see what kind of unexpected magic you can find!  XOXO, Your

Are you confused by what you should actually ask a butler to do should you ever get one? Not sure if you really need a butler because you think they are just there to unpack your luggage?  Like the idea of a butler, but think that a butler might be too intrusive on your honeymoon?  One of the quickest ways to take your trip up a notch is to get a butler level room. Try it once, and you will be hooked! Score extra brownie points with your partner by getting one, and look like the hero for the remainder of your trip. Sandals Butlers are amazing and can do a great many things for you during your stay. Best of all, they do it in an unobtrusive way; so that you aren't even aware that it's happening.  The biggest accomplishment and where they truly shine is having the ability to anticipate your needs so that you feel well cared for and attended to.  Imagine lying on the beach, without a care in the world, and OH NO! You forgot your sunblock!  No worries
