Agent Jessica's Disney Vacation Traditions

For guests of Walt Disney World, each trip brings something new and exciting.  Even for those who visit frequently, such as myself, every vacation offers a new experience.  And though we each enjoy new attractions and restaurants, we all have a few favorite traditions we uphold trip after trip. Each time my husband and I plan a trip to Walt Disney World, we figure out our must-do list and our try-it list. The try-it list tends to have new restaurants we want to try, a new resort and possibly a few different recreational experiences we haven't done yet.  Then we go over our must-do list.  This is made up of our favorite restaurants, favorite resorts and our absolute must have experiences we enjoy on our trips.  We compile the two lists and start planning away! The first day of our Walt Disney World vacations always consist of a very early wake-up call to catch the earliest flight to Orlando because we cannot waste a second of vac...

Capturing Beautiful Disney Fireworks Photos

Once upon a time, I knew nothing about photography.  I figured the job of a camera was to capture what was in front of me, exactly as I saw it.  Do you remember the days of film and that exciting moment you picked up your developed pictures, ready to relive your vacation memories?  If you are anything like me, those pictures came with a few ounces of disappointment when the entire roll you had dedicated to fireworks contained nothing but blurry castles and squiggly lines in the sky.  Fast forward to today: the age of digital , we immediately see our results.  Each time I visit WDW I see guests all around me confused and disappointed that their pictures don't look like postcards.  I've put together a few tips to help capture great fireworks shots on your next vacation! Step One: Location, location, location.   If you have never seen Wishes at the Magic Kingdom before, I recommend you watch from Main Street near the bakery.  From ...

Splitsville: A New Luxury Experience

When guests hear the words “Walt Disney World,” immediately visions of characters, theme parks and dining emerge.   I am here to tell you that soon bowling is sure to become synonymous with Disney.   You heard me – bowling!!   A wonderful new entertainment venue debuted in December 2012 – Splitsville!   Splitsville is a modern day take on bowling and billiards spanning two levels in Downtown Disney West Side.   With 30 bowling lanes available and billiard tables scattered throughout, there is no shortage of opportunities for fun.   There are even opportunities to enjoy live music and dancing, as well as adult beverages.   Splitsville is more than just a bowling alley – it is an experience.   This is not your neighborhood bowling establishment – it is “luxury lanes.”   There are interesting murals and other design elements throughout.  Instead of just one long line of bowling lanes, the lanes are divided into sections with...
