Which do you prefer... #matterhornmonday or #monorailmonday? I finally conquered the Matterhorn...twice! Have a magical Monday! #simplyenchantedtravel #jenniferhilgertravel #disneyland #monday #matterhorn #monorail
The fun parts around this photo. 1. I was on the phone with my husband but dropped that call when I saw Chewbacca. 😂😂 2. When I showed this picture to my kindergarten students, half knew who Chewbacca was and the other half thought I ran into a gorilla at Disneyland. 🤷🏻♀️😂 #simplyenchantedtravel #jenniferhilgertravel #iteachtoo #iteachk #disneyland #chewbacca
Even though I have been visiting Disneyland since I was a toddler, I got to experience a lot of firsts on my most recent visit. One of the highlights was getting a behind the scenes tour of Soarin’! Soarin’ is one of my very favorite attractions and now I love it even more! I especially enjoyed getting to smell the tropical smell again - the island scene is my favorite, what’s your favorite scene around the world? #simplyenchantedtravel #jenniferhilgertravel #soarinaroundtheworld #disneyland #californiaadventure
I’m sure you’re dying to know how many mugs I purchased on my recent Disneyland visit. 😉 Any guesses? Here is one of them! I couldn’t resist this adorable mug, especially since it was my first time to stay at the Disneyland Hotel! I loved the charm of the resort and can’t wait to stay there again! #simplyenchantedtravel #jenniferhilgertravel #mugsofdisney #disneymug #disneylandhotel
Today we are attending exclusive training at Disneyland about Disney destinations! I can’t wait to really dive in to better serve my clients. #simplyenchantedtravel #jenniferhilgertravel #disneyland #disneydestinations
Don’t mind me, I’m over here all starstruck! 😍 #simplyenchantedtravel #see2019 #jenniferhilgertravel #disneyland
Today I had the exciting experience of visiting Walt Disney’s apartment. The Dapper Dans were singing downstairs and the Christmas tree was lit. The magic is real! (Any guesses how many times I cried on the tour?! 😂) #simplyenchantedtravel #jenniferhilgertravel #walkinginwaltsfootsteps #disneyland
Guess where I woke up this morning? 😍 Be sure to follow along at @jenniferhilgertravel as I get to explore Disneyland with 36 other agents from Simply Enchanted Travel over the next five days! #simplyenchantedtravel #jenniferhilgertravel #dreambig
I have been seeing photos of the new sign at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, but this will always be in my heart when I think of that park. Anyone else? 🙋🏻♀️🥰😂 #mgmforever #hollywoodstudios #simplyenchantedtravel #jenniferhilgertravel #fantasia #sorcerermickey #sorcerersapprentice
As I prepare to travel to @disneyland soon, I thought a #throwbackthursday would be fun! I was fortunate to have family take to me to both Disney destinations growing up, and I still have the fondest memories of those destinations. Here are a few memories from Disneyland I found in a photo album from my mom. These pictures are why we travel with Oliver when he’s young. Take the trip!! The littles may not remember all the fine details like you will - but the pictures help everyone remember the magic! 🌟 #simplyenchantedtravel #jenniferhilgertravel #disneykid #disneyland
Last time I visited Disneyland, I took a picture of this sign with dreams of returning someday to take the actual tour. In less than three weeks, my dreams will become reality! Have you done the tour before? I can’t wait! #simplyenchantedtravel #jenniferhilgertravel #walkinginwaltsfootsteps #disneyland #disneytravel
Waiting to meet Mickey & Minnie Mouse isn’t so bad when the music makes you move! #oliverroberthilger #simplyenchantedtravel #jenniferhilgertravel #animalkingdom #tgif
Happy #MonorailMonday! When we stayed at the Contemporary Resort in August, this treat was a must! (Even at 11 PM after a full day in the parks!) #simplyenchantedtravel #jenniferhilgertravel #disneyscontemporaryresort #disneycupcakes
Is #StarWarsSunday a thing? I guess it is now. 🤷🏻♀️😂 I’m excited to visit the west coast Batuu soon. Any idea what I miss the most? The ICE. It’s true, the ice on Batuu is the best!! #simplyenchantedtravel #cozyconecrafts #jenniferhilgertravel #batuu #galaxysedge

#TravelTipTuesday - are you someone who wants to stay at each Walt Disney World Resort? You can do a split stay for your next vacation and experience more than one resort! The best part is that the amazing cast members move your luggage for you between resorts! In August we stayed at Port Orleans - French Quarter and Bay Lake Tower. While we were at Animal Kingdom for the day, our luggage switched resorts and we went straight to our new room with our belongings waiting for us! (Actual travel time for luggage may vary, but it will get transferred for free!) #simplyenchantedtravel #jenniferhilgertravel #waltdisneyworld
Have you been thinking about a Disney destination vacation but not sure where to start? I would be happy to help!

I recently finally took care of my TSA Pre ✅ application! Did you know it’s only $85/person for FIVE years?! After approval, I will be able to “speed” through security - and without removing shoes, laptops, etc. Special bonus was going to Staples for the interview - extra coupons! #simplyenchantedtravel #jenniferhilgertravel #tsaprecheck #traveltip

I would love to help you fix that! #simplyenchantedtravel #jenniferhilgertravel #monorailmonday #disneyvacation #forky #toystorymonorail
When people contact me with questions about when to travel to a Disney destination, one of the first things I ask about is if they have special feelings about visiting in the fall or winter. One of the perks of traveling during these times is getting to see special overlays that are only out for a limited time. This is a glimpse from Cars Land at Disney California Adventure for 2019! #simplyenchantedtravel #jenniferhilgertravel #disneyland #carsland #halloween
It’s 9/5, which is Lightning McQueen Day! The day my son got to meet Lightning was probably the best day of his whole life! Do you know where you can meet your favorite Cars on the east coast? 😍😉 #simplyenchantedtravel #jenniferhilgertravel #waltdisneyworld #lightningmcqueen
#TravelTipTuesday - if you get to be one of the two pilots of the Millennium Falcon on Smugglers Run, Star Wars fans might really appreciate getting to be the RIGHT pilot! Right pilot gets to launch the Falcon into lightspeed! #simplyenchantedtravel #jenniferhilgertravel #starwarsgalaxysedge #milleniumfalcon #smugglersrun

It may not be a hurricane here in Oklahoma but the weather is always on my mind - especially when I travel! 🌧 TRAVEL PROTECTION: Do I suggest having it? Absolutely!! Do I personally have it for my own vacations? Yes!! ✔️ Do I have it for my upcoming vacations? Sure do! ✔️ We are officially in hurricane season!🌪 Once a storm is named, you can no longer add insurance and be covered for said hurricane. Are you covered for your vacation? If not, let’s chat! #simplyenchantedtravel #jenniferhilgertravel #travelprotection #travelinsurance #hurricane #disneytravel
It’s opening day for Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge! Batuu feels like the homiest of Walt Disney World homes, and I hope today’s travelers feel that too! Bright suns! ☀️ #simplyenchantedtravel #jenniferhilgertravel #starwarsgalaxysedge #waltdisneyworld #batuu #parkboundbuttons #chewiewerehome
Am I more excited about Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge or this porg?!

Monday called for all the coffee! The Force was strong with this mug! #simplyenchantedtravel #jenniferhilgertravel #starwarsgalaxysedge #mugsofdisney #iteachk #monday
When visiting Galaxy’s Edge, a droid may get stuck on your head and a Stormtrooper might question you. 🤷🏻♀️ #thesearentthedroidsyourelookingfor #simplyenchantedtravel #jenniferhilgertravel #starwarsgalaxysedge
I’m having one of those, “I wonder if Batuu misses me too” types of weekends. 😂 Less than one week until Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge opens to the public at Walt Disney World!

#TravelTipTuesday - splurge and do an extra event on your Disney vacation! My husband and I recently attended an After Hours event at Magic Kingdom! Crowds were low, temps were manageable, and we ate all the Mickey bars we wanted during the event since they’re included in the cost! Interested in adding this event to your existing vacation? Let’s plan it! 🎉 #simplyenchantedtravel #jenniferhilgertravel #disneyafterhours #villainsafterhours #mickeybar #disneydatenight
On Saturday, I got to mark something off my bucket list...visiting four parks in one day! I have been in each park during the WDW marathon, but not during normal operating hours! I used only Disney transportation: bus, monorail, and boat! I walked almost 11 miles and rode a ride in each park. Thanks for cheering me on as I went throughout the day - it’s a day I won’t ever forget!! #simplyenchantedtravel #jenniferhilgertravel #fourparkchallenge #waltdisneyworld
In case you were wondering if I bought a mug on my short 36 hour trip to Walt Disney World, the answer is yes. I bought two. 🤷🏻♀️😂 #simplyenchantedtravel #jenniferhilgertravel #mugsofdisney #norway #epcot
Sometimes my office looks like this! After a whirlwind Walt Disney World visit (more details to share later), I was able to make FastPasses for a group of 11 clients traveling in October while waiting for my flight home! I love getting to help others experience the magic of not waiting in long lines (and bonus: they got to sleep in this morning)! #simplyenchantedtravel #jenniferhilgertravel #disneytravel #fastpass
Park 3 - done! I spent a few hours on Batuu and grabbed an icy beverage on the way to park 4! Magic Kingdom, here I come! #simplyenchantedtravel #jenniferhilgertravel #disneyshollywoodstudios
Park 2 - done! I got some coffee and a sweet treat, rode a boat in Norway with some Frozen pals, and walked around the world! Up next - Hollywood Studios! #simplyenchantedtravel #jenniferhilgertravel #epcot
Park 1 - done! Saw Kevin, rode a ride, and met a couple of my favorite ducks! Off to Epcot now! #simplyenchantedtravel #jenniferhilgertravel #disneysanimalkingdom
I don’t always say #YOLO but when I do it’s when I go to WDW for less than 48 hours. 🎉 When I got another opportunity to visit Galaxy’s Edge, I found a very reasonable way to make it happen thanks to my hubby and friends! (And for less $ than Hamilton tickets!) Stay tuned for details on my attempt to visit four parks in one day and more details on Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge! #simplyenchantedtravel #jenniferhilgertravel #starwarsgalaxysedge
I have a feeling Andy’s mom was well liked by teachers. ✏️😂 Happy back to school time! When do schools begin in your neck of the woods? My first day with kids in Thursday! #iteachk #ticonderoga #simplyenchantedtravel #jenniferhilgertravel #backtoschool #getyourteachon
#TravelTipTuesday - dining reservations aren’t the only places you can book 180 days in advance at Walt Disney World, you can also book experiences like building your own droid in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge! We can already book these types of reservations into February so if you’re thinking about Spring Break, it’s time to plan! 🎉 #simplyenchantedtravel #jenniferhilgertravel #starwarsgalaxysedge #buildyourowndroid #hollywoodstudios #disneytravel
