😩 If you're a Disney pro and know the struggle that comes with making dining reservations (ADRs), here's a breath of fresh air: you don’t need to stress about Universal Orlando Resort dining reservations. It sounds outrageous, I know! 🍽️ Universal has a few table-service restaurants inside its two theme parks and many options in CityWalk. Reservations open 6 months in advance, BUT you can usually still snag a good one a month in advance or even on shorter notice during slower times. 📲 To book, just go to the dining page on the website or app. OR the best option is to have me (as your travel agent) do it for you! So let’s hear it: where are you hoping to dine when you visit Universal Orlando Resort? 📌PRO TIP: Universal Orlando Resort dining is typically a breeze to secure, but if you aren't seeing availability through the Universal app or website, I've got a tip for you. Some of these restaurants can also be booked on Open Table (a popular dining reservation website/app)! #kimgrahntravelconsultant #vacationsbykimgrahn #truenorthtravelvacations #universaldining #hardrockcafe #toothsome #antojitos #citywalk #islandsofadventure #universalislandsofadventure #universalmoments #readyforuniversal #orlandoflorida #uor #universalorlando #universalgram #universalstudios #visituniversal #universalresorts #universaltravelplanner #universallife #universalinsta
GAME TIME! It's Teddy Bear Day! Disney has some pretty amazing bear characters, wouldn't you say? Let's try and list them all! I'll start with Baloo and Winnie the Pooh. Drop other Disney bear names (or gifs) in the comments!

While you’re probably hitting up “New” Fantasyland in Magic Kingdom (any other WDW vets think of it as “new” vs “classic” Fantasyland?!) for a ride on Seven Dwarfs Mine Train or a cinnamon roll from Gaston’s Tavern, don’t sleep on Enchanted Tales with Belle. She grabs lots of friends from the audience to help retell this classic love story. Anyone ever played a role here? #kimgrahntravelconsultant #vacationsbykimgrahn #truenorthtravelvacations #readabookday #enchantedtaleswithbelle #beautyandthebeast #beourguest #disneyprincesses #wdw #waltdisneyworld #disneyworld #orlando #florida #disneytravel #disneypictures #disneytravelplanner #disneylife #disneygram #disneytrip #disney #instadisney #disneymagic #disneyfan #disneyfamily #disneyinsta #disneypic #disneyfun #disneyplanner #disneyig
🚍🧙♂️Universal has made it so easy for those that want to sprinkle in some Harry Potter to their Orlando vacation! Universal Studios offers round-trip transfers from your Walt Disney World Resort hotel to Universal Orlando Resort. Currently, it costs $37 per person round-trip and there are 1-3 day options available. Car seats can be requested, and SUVs and vans are available for larger parties. You (or I as your agent) will arrange pick up times with the driver in advance and will be dropped off near the ride-share area of the Universal parking garage. This is a great option if you don’t want to be at the mercy of Uber or Lyft being available for Early Park Admission or at the end of a day when you are tired. Have you ever considered a day or two at Universal Studios as a side trip during a Walt Disney World vacation? Send me a message and I’ll help make it seamless (and get you that Early Park Admission!) #orlandovacations #potterheads #disneytouniversal #universaltodisney #islandsofadventure #universalislandsofadventure #universalmoments #readyforuniversal #orlandoflorida #uor #universalorlando #universalgram #universalstudios #visituniversal #universalresorts #universaltravelplanner #universallife #universalinsta #kimgrahntravelconsultant #vacationsbykimgrahn #truenorthtravelvacations

👻🎟️🎃If you were lucky enough to get tickets (they sold out the day they were released!) to Disneyland’s Oogie Boogie Bash, be sure you carve out lots of time to visit Villain’s Grove at the Redwood Creek Challenge Trail. Villains like Maleficent, Dr. Facilier, Scar, the Queen of Hearts, the Evil Queen, and Frollo have been there and made some big and spooky changes!

It's no surprise that during some holidays the Disney parks are PACKED. Not Labor Day! With the summer winding down and most kids back to school, the crowds disappear and it's glorious. 🙌 🌬️While you do run the risk of experiencing some wild weather in September, it's typically a great time to visit Walt Disney World. Have YOU visited in early September? If you're thinking you may want to, packages are available to book for 2024. There are usually great deals for this time period, and the Disney Dining Plan is BACK in 2024! 🍽️ Send me a message and I can help you get started! #labordaydisney #wdw #waltdisneyworld #disneyworld #orlando #florida #disneytravel #disneypictures #disneytravelplanner #disneylife #disneygram #disneytrip #disney #instadisney #disneymagic #disneyfan #disneyfamily #disneyinsta #disneypic #disneyfun #disneyplanner #disneyig #kimgrahntravelconsultant #vacationsbykimgrahn #truenorthtravelvacations
🤔Who doesn't love options? At Universal Orlando Resort, you can grab a refillable mug that fits your vacay needs! Are you planning on going heavy on the resort days (and why not-the pools are awesome), then grab a resort refillable mug to use while you lounge by the lazy river. Are you park hopping till you drop? Then grab a refillable mug to use at the parks. The two can't be used interchangeably, but boy, didn't they think of everything?! #cocacolafreestyle #refillablemugs #icee #frozencoke #royalpacifichotel #cabanabaybeachresort #islandsofadventure #universalislandsofadventure #universalmoments #readyforuniversal #orlandoflorida #uor #universalorlando #universalgram #universalstudios #visituniversal #universalresorts #universaltravelplanner #universallife #universalinsta #kimgrahntravelconsulant #vacationsbykimgrahn #truenorthtravelvacations
Decisions, decisions! Imagine taking a hammock nap in two paradise-like destinations: Disney's Castaway Cay and Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort.

"HAPPEE BIRTHDAE HARRY!" You don't have to be a fan of the Harry Potter books or movies to enjoy The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at both Universal Orlando Resort theme parks While you can't meet Harry, Ron, Hermione and the rest of the Potter pals (and villains) at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, these characters come to life through the magic of technology! While you're exploring the corners of Hogwarts Castle, onboard the Hogwarts Express or trying to Escape from Gringotts, you'll encounter these friends and foes through life-like projections that take the storytelling to a whole new level of authenticity.

Sure, Hollywood Studios is still very much about the movies from Star Wars to our favorite Toy Story flicks, but remember when it felt like you were ON a movie set? If you're pining for that old feeling, plan a visit to Universal Studios! Their New York and San Francisco areas give off that same "on a movie set" vibe and you'll have a blast discovering all the details.

PRO TIP: Tucked away near the American Adventure pavilion in EPCOT, you could encounter some of Disney's most cherished and RARE characters! This location is a character training area, where Cast Members gather to practice their performances, perfect their autographs, and hone their meet and greet skills. From princesses to classic icons, you never know who you might run into, so keep your eyes peeled and your autograph books handy! #epcot #disneysecrets #disneycharacters #raredisneycharacters #disneytips #waltdisneyworld #wdw #disneyparks #orlando #florida #disneytravel #disneypictures #disneytravelplanner #disneylife #disneygram #disneytrip #disney #instadisney #disneymagic #disneyfan #disneyfamily #disneyinsta #disneypic #disneyfun #disneyplanner #disneyig #kimgrahntravelconsultant #vacationsbykimgrahn #truenorthtravelvacations
There is no limit to the thoughtfulness that went into the Tower of Terror queue. Have you ever looked at the directory in the "lobby"? There are some letters that have fallen down that actually spell..."Take the stairs" in the bottom of the letter box. Well played, Imagineers, well played. If you're the kind of person that appreciates the details, here are some episodes of The Twilight Zone to watch before you ride: “Caesar and Me”, “The Invaders”, “Passage for Trumpet”, “In the Nick of Time”, “It’s a Good Life” and "The Fever". Have you ever seen any of these? PRO TIP: Love the Tower of Terror queue but just can't muster up the will for the inevitable plummeting? Never fear, take in the thoughtful and eerie queue and then head to the not so secret "chicken exit" in the boiler room. #hollywoodtowerhotel #towerofterror #twilightzone #hollywoodstudios #disneyshollywoodstudios #wdw #disneyparks #orlando #florida #disneytravel #disneypictures #disneytravelplanner #disneylife #disneygram #disneytrip #disney #instadisney #disneymagic #disneyfan #disneyfamily #disneyinsta #disneypic #disneyfun #disneyplanner #disneyig #kimgrahntravelconsultant #vacationsbykimgrahn #truenorthtravelvacations
In its 24 year history, the FastPass system has received more makeovers than a Hollywood starlet. Do you miss simpler times when we were all about paper tickets and paper FastPasses or are you fully embacing the digital edge? 🤔What's your preference? Same-day, race to the attraction FastPass? FastPass+ where you could book 3 attractions in advance?

It is WAY too easy to hustle right past the delish Croissant Moon Bakery in Universal's Islands of Adventure Port of Entry.

Have you REALLY lived until you've had an ice cream macaron sandwich?! (That answer is no.) This is certainly an indulgent treat that just doesn't pop up on every vacation. Make a point to visit L'Artisan Des Glaces in the France pavilion of EPCOT'S World Showcase. You can choose from a chocolate or seasonal macaron flavor and then load it with your choice of ice cream flavor. Does this sound like something you'd like to say "Oui" to? #nationalicecreamday #lartisansdesglaces #icecream #francepavilion #worldshowcase #epcot #wdw #waltdisneyworld #disneytreats #epcotworldshowcase #disneyicecream #disneyparks #disneytravelplanner #disneylife #disneygram #disneytrip #disney #instadisney #disneymagic #disneyfan #disneyfamily #disneyinsta #disneypic #disneyfun #disneyplanner #disneyig #kimgrahntravelconsultant #vacationsbykimgrahn #truenorthtravelvacations

There's no way around it, summer is here and it is HOT! Celebrating National Swimming Pool Day in Walt Disney World sounds like a swimmingly good day. Let’s DIVE into some of the best pools in Disney World! 🏊♀️Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club (Stormalong Bay): It’s huge, has a lazy river, a beach, and a shipwreck slide. It’s so popular that you need to scan in to get a wristband each day to help keep it exclusive to guests of the resort. 🏊♀️Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort (Lava Pool): Enjoy a huge water slide, zero entry pool, infinity hot tub, and a fantastic splash pad for the kiddos. When hunger strikes, pop in to Capt Cook’s for some Thai Coconut Meatballs.

As Cars Land turns 14 today (how funny that Cars Land is actually still too young to drive) it's got me wondering...if you could choose, would you rather have a stay in an Art of Animation Cars Suite and visit Walt Disney World or would you rather vacation IN Cars Land at Disney California Adventure Park? #carsland #disneycaliforniaadventurepark #disneyland #towmater #kachow #dlr #disneycalifornia #disneylandresort #disneyaddict #disneyresorts #disneyparks #disneytravelplanner #disneylife #disneygram #disneytrip #disney #instadisney #disneymagic #disneyfan #disneyfamily #disneyinsta #disneypic #disneyfun #disneyplanner #disneyig #kimgrahntravel #vacationsbykimgrahn🐭 #truenorthtravelvacations
The Plaza Inn is a Disneyland institution! With its great Main Street location, parade viewing dining packages and a menu that can appeal to even the pickiest of eaters, it's a park food day WIN!

Aloha 'Ohana, it's Hawaii Day! I am certainly okay with dreaming about being beachside with an Aulani shave ice in hand. I can practically hear the breeze rustling the palms.

Sometimes character dining can be tough to secure or not something you want to invest in. A fun alternative the whole family can enjoy is the Rainforest Cafe. With two Walt Disney World locations, your family can get WILD for some Beef Lava Nachos while feeling the thrill of dining in the Rainforest...but with air conditioning. Pro Tip: Are you having trouble getting Rainforest Cafe reservations at a time that works best for YOUR family's vacation schedule? Check out a Landry's Select membership. This "free" membership ($25 to join but you'll receive a $25 gift card within 10 days) allows you to make reservations directly with the restaurant and they offer way more availability! #rainforestcafe #disneysanimalkingdom #disneyeats #waltdisneyworld #disneyfoodie #disneydining #wdw #disneyparks #orlando #florida #disneytravel #disneypictures #disneytravelplanner #disneylife #disneygram #disneytrip #disney #instadisney #disneymagic #disneyfan #disneyfamily #disneyinsta #disneypic #disneyfun #disneyplanner #disneyig #kimgrahntravelconsultant #truenorthtravelvacations #vacationsbykimgrahn
Afraid of being on princess overload when visiting Walt Disney World? Temper the pink and tulle with some larger than life savings and sports icons with a stay at Disney's All-Star Sports Resort. A resort day would be FINtastic. Would you hit the pools, arcade or just relax with a Sportsberry Iced Tea in your lounge chair? #disneypromotion #disneyresorts #allstarsports #disneytips #disneyvacations #disneydeals #wdw #disneyparks #orlando #florida #disneytravel #disneypictures #disneytravelplanner #disneylife #disneygram #disneytrip #disney #instadisney #disneymagic #disneyfan #disneyfamily #disneyinsta #disneypic #disneyfun #disneyplanner #disneyig #kimgrahntravelconsultant #vacationsbykimgrahn #truenorthtravelvacations
Hey JAWS fans, check this out! It's been a while since the Jaws attraction closed to make room for Diagon Alley at Universal Studios , but there are still nods that celebrate the iconic film. In the San Francisco area is a re-creation of the famous "hanging shark" scene and "Amity Island Lobster Co." is displayed on one of the buildings. But the HIDDEN GEM is found just outside the entrance to Diagon Alley in the Record Shop window...an album featuring one of Quint's famous movie lines. Two questions for you...did you know about that album? Do you have a picture with that shark? #universalstudios #jaws #jawsmovie #classicuniversal #universalmoments #readyforuniversal #orlandoflorida #uor #universalorlando #universalgram #universalstudios #visituniversal #universalresorts #universaltravelplanner #universallife #universalinsta #kimgrahntravelconsultant #truenorthtravelvacations #vacationsbykimgrahn
A "souvenir" doesn't always have to be a tangible item like a shirt or a stuffed animal. Sometimes it can be a hair braid or a face painting session. Snap a couple of pics and that is a story that will be a vacation re-telling staple. How likely are you to choose an experience over a gift shop goodie while on vacation? PRO TIP: Each Walt Disney World theme park and Disney Springs have at least one face painting kiosk where the littles (or the bigs) can make a magical memory in less than 20 minutes! For lower wait times and to enjoy the artwork before the heat, rain and misting fans start to break it down, go earlier in the day. #disneyfacepainting #facepaintingat #disney #disneytips #disneyextras #wdw #disneyparks #orlando #florida #disneytravel #disneypictures #disneytravelplanner #disneylife #disneygram #disneytrip #disney #instadisney #disneymagic #disneyfan #disneyfamily #disneyinsta #disneypic #disneyfun #disneyplanner #disneyig #kimgrahntravelconsultant #vacationsbykimgrahn #truenorthtravelvacations
These might be fighting words for those that favor Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa, but the most luxurious Walt Disney World Resort hotel isn't on the monorail line. If you're looking for the ultimate in luxury and sophistication, with exceptional dining options, spacious accommodations, enhanced recreational activities, lavish merchandise, gorgeous artwork and Walt Disney memorabilia all within a Skyliner ride to two theme parks, it's Disney's Riviera Resort you'll want to book. When you're ready to plan (and invest in) the vacation of a lifetime, work with an expert! Send me a message, I'll save you from all the online overwhelm and planning stress. PRO TIP: Did you know there is a FREE art scavenger hunt (open to anyone) at Walt Disney World's newest resort, the stunning Disney's Riviera Resort?

Disney Cruise Line waterslides feel like coasters at sea, but not as intimidating as some of the theme park thrill rides.

Let's talk parades...do you prefer to enjoy Disney parades throughout the day and just settle in for fireworks at night?

The wait for Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure at Islands of Adventure theme park consistently stays more than an hour long four years after its first trip through the Forbidden Forest and for good reason. It's phenomenal! Your best chance to ride along with Hagrid (without wasting too much time in line) is to take advantage of Universal's Early Park Admission into The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Now there are two ways to get early access: stay at an on-property hotel OR a SECRET WAY not many people know about! Want to know what that secret is? Comment YES below! #hagridsmagicalcreaturesmotorbikeadventure #harrypotter #hogsmeade #hagrid #wizardingworldofharrypotter #islandsofadventure #universalislandsofadventure #universalmoments #readyforuniversal #orlandoflorida #uor #universalorlando #universalgram #universalstudios #visituniversal #universalresorts #universaltravelplanner #universallife #universalinsta #kimgrahntravelconsulant #vacationsbykimgrahn #truenorthtravelvacations
Via Napoli seems to get most of the Italy pavilion love in EPCOT for hungry diners ready to inhale some delicious Italian cuisine. Don't overlook Tutto Italia for your next visit. This authentic Italian restaurant is perfect for a romantic dinner, family vacay meal or for your next friend trip. Have you tried Tutto Italia? What did you have and how would you rate it? PRO TIP: EPCOT has no shortage of amazing foods on any given day, but some of those "worldly" menus can be a little scary to less adventurous diners. For a solid, safe and delicious meal, try Tutto Italia! With staples like Caesar Salad, Lasagna, Chicken Parm, Spaghetti and Meatballs and Fettuccini Alfredo, you can't miss! #tuttoitalia #epcot #disneydining #epcotitaly #italypavilion #wdw #disneyparks #orlando #florida #disneytravel #disneypictures #disneytravelplanner #disneylife #disneygram #disneytrip #disney #instadisney #disneymagic #disneyfan #disneyfamily #disneyinsta #disneypic #disneyfun #disneyplanner #disneyig #kimgrahntravelconsultant #vacationsbykimgrahn #truenorthtravelvacations
A good egg roll is hard for me to resist, especially when it's an actual theme park BARGAIN! The best thing about EPCOT is that pretty much all the time you can save some cash by having some really great and filling snacks as opposed to breaking the bank on a sit down meal. Two egg rolls for just a little over $5 sounds like good fortune to me. Would you roll with these guys? #epcot #eggrollday #eggrolls #lotusblossomcafe #worldshowcasedining #disneysnackhack #disneydining #wdw #disneyparks #orlando #florida #disneytravel #disneypictures #disneytravelplanner #disneylife #disneygram #disneytrip #disney #instadisney #disneymagic #disneyfan #disneyfamily #disneyinsta #disneypic #disneyfun #disneyplanner #disneyig #kimgrahntravelconsultant #vacationsbykimgrahn #truenorthtravelvacations
Souvenir shopping at Universal Orlando isn't all Minions and Harry Potter. Linger around the stores and you'll find so many old school slumber party favorites from years gone by that will make you smile. What have you talked yourself out of buying?

Psst...adults enjoying a kid-free vacation, I'm talking to you. Don't feel like your resort's Movies Under the Stars is just for the junior resort guests; it's for EVERYONE. How about grabbing a blanket (or a couple of new, souvenir beach towels), some snacks, a glass of vino and snuggling up with your special someone to enjoy the movie. Dreamy, right? #moviesunderthestars #disneyresorts #disneymovies #disneyresortperks #waltdisneyworld #wdw #disneyparks #orlando #florida #disneytravel #disneypictures #disneytravelplanner #disneylife #disneygram #disneytrip #disney #instadisney #disneymagic #disneyfan #disneyfamily #disneyinsta #disneypic #disneyfun #disneyplanner #disneyig #kimgrahntravelconsultant #vacationsbykimgrahn #truenorthtravelvacations
Everglazed in Disney Springs has ALL kinds of yeasty goodness to make you drool. They have everything from a traditional glazed to Mounds Coconut Dream to Fruity Pebbles. BUT...did you know you could get a Donut Burger too? Or a Donut fried chicken sandwich? Does that cross a line for you or is that just crazy enough to be awesome? #donutday #everglazed #everglazeddonuts #disneysprings #disneysweets #disneydonuts #wdw #disneyparks #orlando #florida #disneytravel #disneypictures #disneytravelplanner #disneylife #disneygram #disneytrip #disney #instadisney #disneymagic #disneyfan #disneyfamily #disneyinsta #disneypic #disneyfun #disneyplanner #disneyig #kimgrahntravelconsulant #vacationsbykimgrahn #truenorthtravelvacations
Refurbishments are a necessary evil. We all know they have to happen, but hate when it's during our personal trips. Disneyland is experiencing a trifecta of refurb blows with Peter Pan, Alice & Mr. Toad going down. What fave attraction of yours would you reconsider changing your trip dates to avoid a closure? #peterpansflight #mrtoadswildride #aliceinwonderland #disneylandnews #disneylandrefurb #fantasyland #disneyland #dlr #disneycalifornia #disneylandresort #disneyaddict #disneyresorts #disneyparks #disneytravelplanner #disneylife #disneygram #disneytrip #disney #instadisney #disneymagic #disneyfan #disneyfamily #disneyinsta #disneypic #disneyfun #disneyplanner #disneyig #kimgrahntravelconsultant #vacationsbykimgrahn🐭 #truenorthtravelvacations
We all know that the Italy pavilion in EPCOT has amazing pizza, pasta, street shows and gelato, but did you know you can actually make your own mask to bring home? What a unique souvenir for just around $30. How likely are you to choose something interactive over a t-shirt? #ilbelcristallo #epcot #italianmasks #paintyourownmasks #disneytips #disneysouvenirs #italypavilion #wdw #disneyparks #orlando #florida #disneytravel #disneypictures #disneytravelplanner #disneylife #disneygram #disneytrip #disney #instadisney #disneymagic #disneyfan #disneyfamily #disneyinsta #disneypic #disneyfun #disneyplanner #disneyig #kimgrahntravelconsultant #vacationsbykimgrahn #truenorthtravelvacations
The proof is in the pudding, or in this case, the pictures. Early morning at Disney or Universal theme parks is the BEST time to take advantage of lighter crowds. Are lighter crowds worth a vacation alarm clock to your crew? PRO TIP: Leave your room 90 minutes before the scheduled park opening time when using Disney transportation. #ropedrop #disneyropedrop #universalropedrop #wdw #disneyworld #disneyplanning #disneytips #universaltips #universalattractions #universalmoments #readyforuniversal #orlandoflorida #uor #universalorlando #universalgram #universalstudios #visituniversal #universalresorts #universaltravelplanner #universallife #universalinsta #kimgrahntravelconsulant #vacationsbykimgrahn #truenorthtravelvacations
Three words: Half. Pound. Cookies. Do I have your attention now? It's not a matter of IF you should go to Gideon's Bakehouse in Disney Springs but WHEN will you go there? PRO TIP- bring a tupperware container from home to bring an extra massive cookie home for when your post-Disney blues hit. #chocolatechipday #gideonsbakehouse #disneysprings #chocolatechips #wdw #disneyparks #orlando #florida #disneytravel #disneypictures #disneytravelplanner #disneylife #disneygram #disneytrip #disney #instadisney #disneymagic #disneyfan #disneyfamily #disneyinsta #disneypic #disneyfun #disneyplanner #disneyig #kimgrahntravelconsultant #truenorthtravelvacations #vacationsbykimgrahn
Escape from Sideshow Bob, have a Krusty Burger, win a giant Homer and have a Duff Beer - all are possible at Universal's Springfield: Home of the Simpsons. This area is so much fun for fans of The Simpsons or really anyone. Here's a piece of friendly advice...do The Simpsons Ride BEFORE you enjoy that Krusty Burger. #thesimpsonsride #thesimpsons #springfield #krustytheclown #universalmoments #readyforuniversal #orlandoflorida #uor #universalorlando #universalgram #universalstudios #visituniversal #universalresorts #universaltravelplanner #universallife #universalinsta #kimgrahntravelconsultant #vacationsbykimgrahn #truenorthtravelvacations
The recent facelift to Disneyland's Toontown is all the magic! Characters, new convenient dining and all the adorable theming you could dream up. Check out the new Café Daisy and have a Picnic Time Watermelon Lemonade for me! #cafédaisy #toontown #daisyduck #disneylanddining #disneyeats #disneyland #dlr #disneycalifornia #disneylandresort #disneyaddict #disneyresorts #disneyparks #disneytravelplanner #disneylife #disneygram #disneytrip #disney #instadisney #disneymagic #disneyfan #disneyfamily #disneyinsta #disneypic #disneyfun #disneyplanner #disneyig #kimgrahntravelconsultant #vacationsbykimgrahn #truenorthtravelvacations
La Crêperie de Paris is such an EPCOT gem and their Prix Fixe menu is a fantastic WDW value. For brunch, lunch or dinner, you can have a soup or salad, delicious savory crepe, drink AND dessert crepe! It's such a unique and fun meal and feels decidedly François! Would you give this meal a try? PRO TIP: Vacation calories do not count! #lacrêperiedeparis #epcot #crepes #franceepcot #epcotfrance #disneydining #wdw #disneyparks #orlando #florida #disneytravel #disneypictures #disneytravelplanner #disneylife #disneygram #disneytrip #disney #instadisney #disneymagic #disneyfan #disneyfamily #disneyinsta #disneypic #disneyfun #disneyplanner #disneyig #kimgrahntravelconsultant #vacationsbykimgrahn #truenorthtravelvacations
Just invading your social feed to remind you that Disney has three other incredible properties that you will adore...and I can book them all for you! Want to visit Hawaii the Disney way? ✨Aulani, a Disney Resort and Spa is for you! Must have Dole Whips and Mickey Pretzels but just can't do another theme park vacation? ✨Disney's Vero Beach is calling your name! Torn between a golf, lodge or beach vacation? ✨Disney's Hilton Head Island Resort is the answer! Of these three non-theme park Disney destinations, which one would you choose to visit next? It's Hawaii, right ? 😉 #disneyaulani #disneyhiltonheadisland #nationaltourismday #disneyverobeach #disneyresorts #disneytravel #disneytravelplanner #disneylife #disneygram #disneytrip #disney #instadisney #disneymagic #disneyfan #disneyfamily #disneyinsta #disneypic #disneyfun #disneyplanner #disneyig #travel #kimgrahntravelconsultant #vacationsbykimgrahn #truenorthtravelvacations
The average Disney guest doesn't know about this...so let me tell you about EPCOT's Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe. Sure it's a mouthful to say, but trust me, you're going to want a mouthful of their pastries. With specialties like School Bread or Norwegian Kringla and staples like Chocolate Chip Cookies and Mickey Cinnamon Rolls, it makes an ideal quick breakfast stop for the whole family on the way to ride Frozen Ever After. And that Kristoff Kaffee is a tasty caffeine boost! Have you been here yet (what did you get?) or did I give you a new place to add to your MUST TRY list? #KringlaBakeriOgKafe #epcotnorway #schoolbread #epcot #wdw #disneyparks #orlando #florida #disneytravel #disneypictures #disneytravelplanner #disneylife #disneygram #disneytrip #disney #instadisney #disneymagic #disneyfan #disneyfamily #disneyinsta #disneypic #disneyfun #disneyplanner #disneyig #kimgrahntravelconsultant #vacationsbykimgrahn #truenorthtravelvacations

Coming soon to grocery stores is Dole Whip in pineapple, mango and strawberry flavors. Is that something that you save JUST for your Disney vacations or will you be the first in line to have it at home too? PRO TIP: The Tropical Hideaway in Disneyland, an Adventureland oasis is the perfect spot to grab a snack, watch the boats sail by and listen to Rosita the bird entertain nearby guests with jokes and witty one-liners. Of course Dole Whip items are available here, but you can also get a variety of savory snacks too! #dolewhipfloat #dolewhip #thetropicalhideaway #disneyland #dlr #disneycalifornia #disneysnacks #disneylandresort #disneyaddict #disneyresorts #disneyparks #disneytravelplanner #disneylife #disneygram #disneytrip #disney #instadisney #disneymagic #disneyfan #disneyfamily #disneyinsta #disneypic #disneyfun #disneyplanner #disneyig #kimgrahntravelconsultant #vacationsbykimgrahn #truenorthtravelvacations
Coronado Springs is one of THE most underrated resorts on site. From Sangria University to these unique one of a kind, handcrafted by YOU piece of Spanish Mosaic Art. Why not stay at this great resort...and carve out a day just for it's great food, drink and activities?! PRO TIP: Dig deeper into your Disney resort amenities and you may be surprised at all the unique opportunities. Create one of a kind Spanish Mosaic Art at Coronado Springs, go paint animals at Animal Kingdom Lodge or create a tie dye shirt at Art of Animation. You don't have to be Picasso to celebrate art or enjoy your resort! #grandestino #coronadosprings #disneyresorts #wdwspanishmosaicart #disneyartclass #worldartday #dahlialounge #wdw #disneyparks #orlando #florida #disneytravel #disneypictures #disneytravelplanner #disneylife #disneygram #disneytrip #disney #instadisney #disneymagic #disneyfan #disneyfamily #disneyinsta #disneypic #disneyfun #disneyplanner #disneyig #kimgrahntravelconsultant #vacationsbykimgrahn #truenorthtravelvacations
If Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin or Toy Story Mania are on the top of your Walt Disney World attraction list, you'll really enjoy Men In Black Alien Attack at Universal Studios. What's unique about this ride over the others, is that you also shoot at a competing vehicle in addition to the alien targets. While it helps enhance your experience if you have seen at least the first "MIB" movie since the attraction queue is set up like headquarters, it's not necessary to have fun. Maybe we can all agree, whether we like this dark ride or not, that it's refreshing to not look at a screen projection or need 3D glasses like so many other Universal attractions. Am I right? PRO TIP: In spite of all you learn in your training about NOT pushing the red button on Men In Black Alien Attack...you're going to HAVE to push the red button and not tell anyone else in your family. Bragging rights for being the master alien attacker will carry you through your entire Universal trip! #mibalienattack #meninblack #meninblackalienattack #universalattractions #universalmoments #readyforuniversal #orlandoflorida #uor #universalorlando #universalgram #universalstudios #visituniversal #universalresorts #universaltravelplanner #universallife #universalinsta #kimgrahntravelconsultant #vacationsbykimgrahn #truenorthtravelvacations
How does FREE sound? During the EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival, you can take a complimentary guided tour of the Tea Garden in the UK pavilion. During this 20 minute stroll, you'll learn all about the different kinds of teas and techniques on how to best brew them. You may also leave with a few tea samples! If this is something you find interesting, head straight to the Tea Caddy shop and register with a Cast Member to schedule your time. #nationalteaday #teacaddy #disneytours #freeatdisney #epcot #flowerandgardenfestival #ukpavilion #wdw #disneyparks #orlando #florida #disneytravel #disneypictures #disneytravelplanner #disneylife #disneygram #disneytrip #disney #instadisney #disneymagic #disneyfan #disneyfamily #disneyinsta #disneypic #disneyfun #disneyplanner #disneyig #kimgrahntravelconsultant #vacationsbykimgrahn #truenorthtravelvacations
I feel like there is ALWAYS a rumor floating around about Gran Fiesta Tour in EPCOT getting a makeover. The Gran Fiesta Tour is a fun water ride in the Mexico pavilion of EPCOT's World Showcase. It follows Donald Duck, Jose Carioca and Panchito on a wild adventure throughout Mexico. What do you think? Is it time for a remake or do you love the classic nostalgia of these three feathered amigos? The World Showcase is so much more than great food and drink. There's a lot of "edutainment" going on. Send me a message if you're thinking a WDW vacation is in your future. I'll help with EVERYTHING. **Spoiler alert, a LOT goes into planning for WDW these days! PRO TIP: The Mexico Pavilion in EPCOT's World Showcase is a great place to escape a summer downpour or a delicious place to grab some authentic Mexican cuisine #granfiestatour #epcot #worldshowcase #threecaballeros #disneyrides #mexico #wdw #disneyparks #orlando #florida #disneytravel #disneypictures #disneytravelplanner #disneylife #disneygram #disneytrip #disney #instadisney #disneymagic #disneyfan #disneyfamily #disneyinsta #disneypic #disneyfun #disneyplanner #disneyig #kimgrahntravelconsultant #vacationsbykimgrahn #truenorthtravelvacations
Lanyards: let’s have a real talk moment. At Universal Orlando Resort, most rides do not allow bags. No putting them at your feet or holding them on your lap like at Disney World. While there are free short-term lockers all over the parks, who wants to deal with lockers all the time? That’s where lanyards come in. They aren’t just for pin trading, my friends! Get one with a pouch and you could store room keys, park tickets, Express Pass, My Universal Photos card, ID, and a credit card in that bad boy. There are so many fandoms associated with Universal: Harry Potter, superheroes, Jurassic Park, The Simpsons, Dr. Seuss... and lanyards around the parks, resorts and CityWalk to match the interests of everyone in your crew. What would be your lanyard theme of choice? PRO TIP: Lanyards at the Universal gift shops are adorable, but costly. Grab some BEFORE your trip at your local big box store, on Amazon or sometimes even at your local Dollar store. (Leaves you more money for Butterbeer!) PRO TIP: You need to have your park ticket handy for Early Park Admission, for the free ride lockers, and Express Pass users need to show their room ticket for every line-that is A LOT of digging around in a park bag. You're going to want a lanyard for quick access. #themeparklanyards #universallanyards #universaltips #universalmoments #readyforuniversal #orlandoflorida #uor #universalorlando #universalgram #universalstudios #visituniversal #universalresorts #universaltravelplanner #universallife #universalinsta #kimgrahntravelconsultant #vacationsbykimgrahn #truenorthtravelvacations
Can't make it to New York for a taping of the always funny and ever quirky Jimmy Fallon and The Tonight Show? No worries, Universal has you covered as you literally race through the city as if you are on the ULTIMATE episode of The Tonight Show. You may think this would be a tame adventure...but beware, it's not for the faint of...stomach. PRO TIP: Do not eat just before riding "Race Through New York Starring Jimmy Fallon" at Universal. Although you are seated on a platform the entire time, the 3D visuals combined with subtle motion can wreak havoc on even the strongest stomachs. If you planned poorly and just ate, spend some time inside browsing the collection cases of all the past hosts of The Tonight Show. You'll have a little time to digest, and it's really cool to see all of the memorabilia! #racethroughnewyork #jimmyfallon #tonightshow #universalmoments #readyforuniversal #orlandoflorida #uor #universalorlando #universalgram #universalstudios #visituniversal #universalresorts #universaltravelplanner #universallife #universalinsta #kimgrahntravelconsultant #vacationsbykimgrahn #truenorthtravelvacations
THIS OR THAT? Two chocolate mousse desserts, one just as tasty as the other, but a choice has to be made. Which one gets your vote? ✨Chocolate Moose from Le Cellier in EPCOT ✨ Devil's Chocolate Mousse Cake from Friar's Nook in Magic Kingdom Technically, the Chocolate Moose is a kids menu item at Le Cellier, but we're all kids at Disney so... Make your choice in the comments! #chocolatemousseday #lecellier #friarsnook #devilschocolatemoussecake #magickingdom #epcot #wdw #disneyparks #orlando #florida #disneytravel #disneypictures #disneytravelplanner #disneylife #disneygram #disneytrip #disney #instadisney #disneymagic #disneyfan #disneyfamily #disneyinsta #disneypic #disneyfun #disneyplanner #disneyig #kimgrahntravelconsultant #vacationsbykimgrahn #truenorthtravelvacations
Two things you can always count on at Disney...Hidden Mickeys and rain. Rainy days are the PERFECT opportunity to take advantage of lighter crowds especially during busier peak seasons. What is your Disney rain plan? Do you seek cover or dance in the rain? PRO TIP: Come prepared for rain; Florida is famous for throwing pop up showers a vacationer's way. Rather than letting the rain dampen your spirits, pack the poncho or let it be an excuse to buy some adorable new rain gear. #rainydays #aprilshowers #disneyrainydays #rainydayatdisney #wdw #disneyparks #orlando #florida #disneytravel #disneypictures #disneytravelplanner #disneylife #disneygram #disneytrip #disney #instadisney #disneymagic #disneyfan #disneyfamily #disneyinsta #disneypic #disneyfun #disneyplanner #disneyig #kimgrahntravelconsultant #vacationsbykimgrahn #truenorthtravelvacations
Confisco Grille is easy to miss as you're excitedly strolling through Islands of Adventure's Port of Entry heading to the parks, but STOP...don't skip it! This eclectic restaurant is a great place to recharge, have a delicious meal and ready your plan for the rest of the day. The "global fare" menu may sound intimidating to picky eaters, but they have plenty of options and a solid kid-friendly menu that picky adults are welcome to order from. THE BEST PART... the whole family can team up in search of all of the "confiscated" goods from the Islands of Adventure park that decorate the interior. So fun! When you're ready to plan your visit send me a message and let's do it together so you don't miss a single thing! #confiscogrille #universaldining #islandsofadventure #ioa #universalmoments #readyforuniversal #orlandoflorida #uor #universalorlando #universalgram #universalstudios #visituniversal #universalresorts #universaltravelplanner #universallife #universalinsta #kimgrahntravelconsultant #vacationsbykimgrahn #truenorthtravelvacations
Multiple winner of "Best Theme Park Restaurant" by Theme Park Insider, Mythos in Universal Orlando's Islands of Adventure doesn't disappoint. From their ingenious twist on the classic grilled cheese (use your fork!) to their Pad Thai and Brick Chicken, you'll be ready to cast your vote for best in show too! Have you ever dined at this fun mythological yum fest? #mythosrestaurant #forkknifespoongrilledcheese #grilledcheese #universaldining #universalmoments #readyforuniversal #orlandoflorida #uor #universalorlando #universalgram #universalstudios #visituniversal #universalresorts #universaltravelplanner #universallife #universalinsta #kimgrahntravelconsultant #vacationsbykimgrahn #truenorthtravelvacations
C'mon Disney fans, admit it, when we say, "It's National Barber Shop Quartet Day" you automatically think of the beloved Dapper Dans. Let's also send some love to Disneyland's Bootstrappers or the Frog Choir at Universal-so much good music to get stuck in our heads! Theme park vacations let us shed our adult lives for a few moments and live in a world where it's wonderfully normal to be serenaded by happy strangers. We all need that in our lives. Book the trip! #bootstrappers #disneyland #dapperdans #frogchoir #universal #wizardingworldofharrypotter #waltdisneyworld #wdw #disneyparks #orlando #florida #disneytravel #disneypictures #disneytravelplanner #disneylife #disneygram #disneytrip #disney #instadisney #disneymagic #disneyfan #disneyfamily #disneyinsta #disneypic #disneyfun #disneyplanner #disneyig #kimgrahntravelconsultant #vacationsbykimgrahn #truenorthtravelvacations
I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that the Beach Club Resort has it all! Arguably the best pool on property in Stormalong Bay, walking distance to EPCOT and Hollywood Studios, Skyliner access right down the path, Beaches and Cream restaurant AND an actual arcade. Throw in the Extended Evening Hours benefit for Deluxe Resort guests (hello three shots at riding Cosmic Rewind and Tron) and it's got to be at the top of anyone's resort wish list. Right now, you could save up to 25% on a resort room stay at the Beach Club Resort now through July 10th! Send me a message if a Spring or Summer getaway to Disney's Beach Club sounds good and I'll check availability. #disneybeachclubresort #beachclubresort #stormalongbay #disneyresorts #dvcresorts #dvc #wdw #disneyparks #orlando #florida #disneytravel #disneypictures #disneytravelplanner #disneylife #disneygram #disneytrip #disney #instadisney #disneymagic #disneyfan #disneyfamily #disneyinsta #disneypic #disneyfun #disneyplanner #disneyig #kimgrahntravelconsultant #vacationsbykimgrahn #truenorthtravelvacations
Next time you're in Disneyland Park, stop by Snow White's Grotto and Wishing Well, make a wish in the well and take note of Peter Pan and Wendy's initials on a tree nearby! Want to see for yourself? Send me a message and let's plan it! Fun Fact!

Raise a fin if you are a fan of Ariel! Ariel must be pretty special, huh? Not only does she have her own attraction in Magic Kingdom, but right next door is a unique and finstastic meet and greet with our favorite under-the-sea princess!
