New Photos Revealed of Disney’s Private Island - Lighthouse Point
New photos of Lighthouse Point - Disney Cruise Line’s newest island in the Bahamas.
Today we have a sneak peek at Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point, Disney Cruise Line’s newest private retreat in the Bahamas.
These new images give us a better look at how Lighthouse Point is shaping up, including a new look at the Bahamian-inspired art and architecture.
Disney Imagineers are great at incorporating art and architecture from the local community into their designs. This is one of the reasons Aulani in Hawaii has been so successful. Not just for tourists, but for getting the locals to welcome a major resort destination into their community.
Nestled along the sand dunes of Serenity Bay, the vibrantly colored architecture of the Serenity Bay Cabanas matches the Mabrika Cove Cabanas, which sit across Disney Lookout Cay at the arrival point of the destination.
Steps away from Serenity Bay BBQ and the area’s beach bar, these cabanas will be available for rent to offer a retreat for adults to take in Eleuthera’s dunes and ocean views.
Art from talented, local Bahamian artists will take shape throughout all of the spaces at the destination, including intricate wood carvings inspired by artist Andret John and colorful murals by painter Dorman Stubbs, as seen here.
True-True Too BBQ is a beautiful example of architecture designed to look like oversized seashells scattered across the shores of Disney Lookout Cay.
These uniquely designed dining pavilions will offer shade from your day of adventures on the Nature Trail or the beach.
And now we know Lighthouse Point will have a nature trail!
I love the style of these buildings and they certainly look hurricane-proof!
Lighthouse Point is expected to open this summer.

How Universal Orlando Will Steal the Show this Summer
Universal has big plans this summer with a new land, new nighttime shows and a daytime parade.
Universal Orlando Resort has announced big plans for summer 2024, going up against Disney World’s Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, and Seaworld’s Penguin Trek rollercoaster. Universal Orlando will be opening Dreamworks Land, adding a new daytime parade, displaying a new projection show in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, and a dancing fountain show featuring music that includes the Jaws theme among other popular movie soundtracks (super excited about this one in particular!)
But to be fair, let’s not forget that pin trading is back at Walt Disney World.
Favorite characters from Shrek, Trolls, and Kung Fu Panda will come together in Dreamworks Land, an all-new section of one colorful new land at Universal Studios Florida.
You’ll be able to meet Shrek and splash in his swamp. Scream with laughter on the all-new Trollercoaster.
On Trolls Trollercoaster, guests of all ages can take a ride on the iconic Caterbus escaping evil spiders as they speed along a bright orange and yellow track aboard this family-friendly rollercoaster.
Shrek’s Swamp for Little Ogres: This Shrek-themed play area will feature four fun slides, wet play areas, and a playground where the kiddos can climb, bounce, and splash around as well as venture into Shrek’s outhouse.
Shrek’s Swamp Meet: You can visit Shrek’s Swamp Meet to interact with Shrek, Princess Fiona, and Donkey, who will joke around and converse with guests, just outside of Shrek’s cottage.
Learn kung fu with Po. Plus, ignite your sense of wonder with the new live show DreamWorks Imagination Celebration.
Dreamworks Land will be located right outside the E.T. Adventure attraction at Universal Studios Florida. It opens on June 14, 2024. See more about Dreamworks Land in my post here.
Hogwarts Castle at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter
New nighttime show at Hogwarts Castle
Universal Orlando has also announced a new nighttime show, Hogwarts Always, a projection show on Hogwarts Castle that will take guests on a journey through iconic moments of a school year at the beloved school of wizardry.
This new show will be offered on select nights beginning June 14, 2024, at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Hogsmeade at Islands of Adventure theme park.
See E.T. and more in a new Universal daytime parade
Universal will also introduce a new daytime parade featuring a collection of movie characters like a T-Rex from Jurassic Park, E.T, Trolls, and more. According to Universal, viewers will relive memorable movie moments the whole family can enjoy. On select days this summer starting July 3, 2024.
Cinesational Water Show at Universal Studios Florida
Of all the new entertainment coming this summer, this is the one I’m most looking forward to. This new show will feature dancing fountains and popular film scores. Universal says this show will have a powerful soundtrack featuring music from Harry Potter, Jurassic World, and of course Jaws! Love this! A nice nod to the attraction that was once housed in the lagoon.
Cinesational will be offered on select nights beginning June 14th.

5 Things Disney World Needs to Fix Now
Small changes that would have a big impact on guest satisfaction.
Disney World is a great place to go on vacation, but there are some adjustments that Disney could make to improve guest satisfaction. Now, I’m not talking about big ideas that would take years to complete or require massive investments.
In my latest YouTube video, I present 5 realistic things that Disney can easily fix to improve guest satisfaction.
Watch this on YoutTube now >
#5 Gratuities With Disney Dining Plans
The Disney Dining Plans are back and even Free Dining has returned for select dates. The regular Disney Dining Plan includes Table Service Meals of course. It’s a nice way to make your vacation at Walt Disney World feel a little more all-inclusive. If you stick to just what your table service meal includes, you won’t have to pay out of pocket, you simply redeem your dining credits. But it doesn’t cover the gratuity for your server.
At the end of your meal, your server will bring you the bill with the cash total on it. You only have to pay for things you ordered that are not included on the dining plan. For me, this is rare. The total is provided to help you determine how much of a tip you should leave.
It would be so much easier if the gratuity was included as well. I personally never carry cash, especially in theme parks, I’m always afraid I’ll lose my wallet on a ride or leave it somewhere.
And charging your server’s gratuity to your credit card or Magic Band doesn’t seem right either.
I’m sure Disney doesn’t include gratuities so the cost of the dining plan seems cheaper. But I think Disney should borrow an idea from the cruise line industry where you have the option to prepay your gratuities in advance for the included meals. On a cruise ship, you simply get up and walk away when you're finished. All you have to do is show up and have a great time.
I find that most menu items are similarly priced so unless you want to split hairs on the total cost of the meal, the server should still make a decent tip. And in some cases, they may do better if the customer would otherwise be a lousy tipper.
The whole idea behind the Disney Dining Plan is to make it convenient for the guests. Disney knows you’re going to leave a tip, so why not just include it from the beginning?
# 4 Daily Housekeeping at Disney World
The trend of limited or even no housekeeping began across the hotel industry during the pandemic. But now it’s becoming the industry norm. I expect more from Walt Disney World, a company that prides itself on excellent guest service and often uses terms like the Disney Difference to demonstrate how they are better than other resorts.
To be fair, Universal Orlando has a similar policy and Royal Caribbean has cut housekeeping back to just once per day.
But when Disney cut daily housekeeping to every other day at its Value and Moderate Resorts, it made national news, as it often does. And housekeeping is limited to new towels and trash removal. I believe the term for this is now skimpflation.
Daily housekeeping is offered at Disney Deluxe Resorts which often hover around $750 per night. But room and ticket packages at a Moderate hotel can easily be $5,000 or more. For that kind of money, it would be nice if the bed was made.
Being pampered is part of the fun of staying in a hotel. It’s time to bring back daily housekeeping.
#3 Disney World Theme Park Hours
In recent years the Orlando theme parks have been closing earlier than in the pre-pandemic years. While Magic Kingdom often stays open until 10 or 11 pm, Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios often close at 9 pm. And Animal Kingdom can close as early as 6 pm. Universal Orlando is the same, sometimes closing both parks before 8 pm.
Epcot used to open in phases, first Future World, and then World Showcase would open at 11 am and often stay open until 10 pm or later. Today, the entire park opens at once. I would be ok with a phased opening if it means being in the parks later. Now the only way to stay in the Epcot later at night is to stay in a Deluxe hotel that includes a Monday night stay.
Being in the parks at night, especially in the summer months when afternoon temps are in the high 90s, is the only escape from the heat parkgoers have. And I think the parks are more fun at night.
#2 Seating at Disney’s Quick Service Restaurants
Remember when you had to be online at 6 am, 60-days in advance to make your dining reservations for Walt Disney World? Especially if you wanted Be Our Guest Restaurant.
Today, you can often get into Be Our Guest as a walk-up. Table service dining at Disney just isn’t as popular as it used to be. I still recommend making reservations 60-days in advance, but there is a lot more availability than in previous years.
Today, Disney World Quick-Service Dining is where it’s at. I think this is for two reasons.
Quick-service meals are good! Disney has really upped its game here.
Now that guests are paying for Genie+, they feel like they don’t have time for a lengthy table service meal or it might conflict with a Genie+ return time.
This means quick-service restaurants are crowded these days and it’s very hard to find a place to sit.
Disney has experimented with different ideas to help people find seats. A few years ago, Disney tested out a system where guests would enter a queue after they got their food. A Cast Member with a radio headset would talk to other Cast Members who were out scouting seats. I didn’t like having to wait in another line, but I knew I was going to get a table. At the Connections Eastery at Epcot, Cast Members were only allowing people to sit at tables who had trays of food. This is loosely enforced today.
Disney needs to find a way to provide seating so guests are not meandering around with trays of food and balancing soft drinks with no lids - because Disney banned lids on cups. But that’s another show.
#1 Simplfy Disney Genie+ and Lightning Lane
I’m aware that Disney Genie+ is a very controversial topic. I’m not here to say we should eliminate it and go back to paper Fastpass tickets, (but I know I’m not the only one who would love that!)
Disney could make a small change that would make a big difference. Why do we have 2 terms that describe the basically same thing? Disney Genie+ and Lightning Lane. Have you heard a Cast Member trying to explain the difference between the two? Not to mention Individual Attraction Selection and Virtual Queus. And while we're at it, PhotoPass and Memory Maker too. This is straight from the Department of Redundancy Department
I think they should just call the whole thing Lightning Lane. Ultimately that’s what guests want. No one is buying Genie+ for the Photopass lenses, or the in-park audio features. Call it Lightning Lane and tell guests they get some free perks with it. And while we’re at it, Individual Attraction Selection doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue and it only refers to a handful of attractions. Can't that just be absorbed into Lightning Lane at this point? I seriously think the reason some people don’t visit Disney World is because Genie+ feels overwhelming to them.
I’m sure these 5 things won’t solve every issue, but I think these are some realistic changes Disney could make to enhance guest experiences at Walt Disney World Have something that Disney needs to fix?

6 Tips for Royal Caribbean Cruises
My best tips for getting started with Royal Caribbean
Royal Caribbean is the world’s largest cruise line. They pride themselves on creating premium family-friendly cruises with activities for everyone - from adults only to things families can enjoy together. But there’s a lot to know when booking a cruise if you want to have a great time.
I help clients plan Royal Caribbean cruises every day and have a lot of experience in helping them get the most out of their vacation.
Here are my favorite tips for clients when getting started with a Royal Caribbean cruise.
#6 Book as early as possible
Cruise lines operate just like the airline industry in that they reward people who book early by offering lower fares. The best time to book a cruise is 12 - 18 months in advance.
Those who book early also have more choices when it comes to selecting a stateroom on the ship.
Last-minute cruise deals are not a thing anymore. They are very rare and often when you see them posted online, they are already sold out when you try to book.
#5 Use a travel agent
Using a Royal Caribbean travel agent is free! There are no built-in costs or hidden fees. I offer you expert, insider tips and professional responses to all your questions. It’s like having your own personal account manager just for your vacation. Want me to plan your cruise with you? Get started here in one click.
#4 Buy beverage and internet packages in advance
Royal Caribbean offers adult beverage packages and soft drink packages. Package prices are higher onboard.
Bonus tip: wait a week or two after you book your cruise to see if you get an email offer for discounted beverage packages. If you get an email, forward it to me so I can apply it to your reservation for you.
#3 Book a balcony stateroom
While it may be tempting to book an interior room or an oceanview room (porthole) to save money, a balcony room may cost just a little more. On the newer ships, there are more balcony staterooms than any other kind of room. Most of my clients who book non-balcony rooms, almost always try to upgrade later on (but see Tip #1).
#2 Arrive a day or two before the cruise
If you experience a flight delay or cancellation, the ship will leave without you if you’re late! You should never fly the same day you are cruising.
If you’re cruising from Orlando (Port Canaveral), why not make it a Land and Sea vacation? Spend a few days at Walt Disney World or Universal Orlando Resort and then embark on your cruise vacation. I help clients with Land and Sea vacations in Orlando all the time and have great recommendations for you.
#1 Book a cruise on an Oasis Class ship
Oasis Class ships have more than 16 decks, 20 restaurants, 7 distinct neighborhoods bustling with unique onboard experiences, and endless thrills to discover. These are the world’s largest cruise ships so they offer something for everyone.
You can usually find at least one Oasis Class ship, sailing from Orlando and Miami, Florida but they do travel the world. You can also find them in Europe and Asia.

New Signs Are Up At EPCOT Communicore, Mysterious Globe Appears
What is that globe in Epcot? Communicore Opening Date and more…
Today on my visit to EPCOT I noticed that some of the walls have been pushed back in World Celebration Gardens.
Disney has announced that the rest of EPCOT will officially open on June 10, 2024, including Mickey and Friends, Communicore Hall, and Communicore Plaza.
Also, a mysterious new globe appeared. Let’s check it out…
MIckey and Friends signs have been installed. The construction walls have been pushed back as well, making the sidewalk wider.
“Mickey and Friends” is where you can meet popular Disney characters in Epcot.
Communicore signs have been installed. Some of the walls here have been pushed back as well.
Disney has announced that Communicore Hall will be the starting point for Epcot’s international festivals like Food and Wine, Festival of the Arts, and Flower and Garden.
Communicore Plaza will be an outdoor area where guests relax. There will also be areas for large-scale concerts and small performances.
Epcot Communicore Plaza
Communicore Plaza
The canopy has been installed over Communicore Hall. I assume this will be where a lot of the concerts will be held.
Once the walls come down, you’ll be able to walk from one side of the park to the other easily.
Epcot character meet and greet area.
Mickey and Friends is now lit up at night, giving us a better idea of how Communicore will tie in with the World Celebration Gardens and Spaceship Earth.
And this mystery contraption has appeared in World Celebration Gardens. It appears to be some kind of globe. Are those stools around the base? If you know what this is, leave a note in the comments below.

6 Tips for Sailing on Disney Cruise Line
My best Disney Cruise line tips
Disney cruises are truly something special from being immersed in Disney entertainment 24/7 to the outstanding service and crew. But there’s a lot more to it than just booking a stateroom and showing up.
As a travel advisor who works with Disney Cruise Line every day, I have made a list of the most helpful tips that will help you get even more out of your cruise. And if you would like me to plan it with you, contact me here to get started.
#6 Ask for free/discounted upgrades
Here’s a secret! A limited number of upgraded rooms may be available on embarkation day. People cancel at the last minute or have trouble with their flight (see tip #2).
Before boarding the ship, stop at Guest Services to see if there are any discounted upgrades available. I was recently offered Concierge Stateroom for $6,400. Before embarkation day, this category was $9,800, so that was a savings of $3,400!
Expert Tip: Schedule your port arrival time as early as you can on embarkation day. This gives you the best chance for snagging an upgrade plus you’ll enjoy even more time onboard the ship.
#5 Use a Disney travel agent
I’m a travel advisor who specializes in Disney vacations with a lot of experience in booking Disney cruises. But did you know this is how I got started in this work? I booked my first cruise through Magical Vacations Travel because I was overwhelmed when I planning my first cruise.
Using a Disney travel agent is FREE! There are no built-in costs or hidden fees passed on to you.
Onboard Disney Cruise Credit! My clients enjoy a generous onboard credit that can be used towards upgrades like spa services, port adventures, specialty beverages, and more.
Most importantly, I provide expert answers to all your questions about Disney Cruise Line.
Overwhelmed with planning your Disney Cruise? Start here ▸
#4 Save money on a future cruise
While onboard you’ll have an opportunity to book your next cruise at a substantial discount. Don’t miss this opportunity! This is the best way to save money on your next Disney cruise.
Not sure when to book? No problem! Disney Cruise Line will allow you to book a “placeholder cruise” so you don’t have to commit to an actual sail date or itinerary right away. The placeholder cruise just locks in the discounted price.
#3 Use Disney Cruise Line transportation in Orlando
Disney Cruise Line buses operate between Orlando International Airport, Walt Disney World Resort, and Port Canaveral. Disney will even transfer your luggage from the hotel directly to your stateroom onboard the ship.
See my Guide to Port Canaveral ▸
#2 Arrive a day or two before the cruise
If you experience a flight delay or cancellation, the ship will not wait for you! always arrive a day or two ahead of time. If you’re cruising from Orlando (Port Canaveral) there are plenty of things to do in the area: Visit Disney World or Universal Orlando, Gatorland, and more.
Expert Tip: Purchase travel protection from Disney, it’s about 8% of the total cruise fare and can be added on at any time before making the final payment. It’s a terrible investment until something goes wrong. Then, it’s the best investment you ever made!
#1 Schedule a Disney character call
This is so much fun! When it’s time to drop the big news of your Disney cruise, you can get a little help from Mickey Mouse and pals with a recorded phone call (it’s not an actual 1 on 1 call but it’s still very cute).
You’ll find the “schedule a call” feature in Disney Cruise Line mobile app.
Expert Tip: Record your little one answering the phone to capture their reaction. You can share it with my followers on Facebook and Instagram @orlandoparksguy

Free Disney Dining Plan 2024 Prices. Worth it?
Breaking down the Disney World free dining offer
On April 9, 2024, Disney released a second free dining offer for select July, September, and December dates. In short, Disney is saying that if you come to Disney World this summer or fall, you’ll be able to eat most of your meals for free while on your vacation.
Free Dining has become extremely popular over the years and many guests have even come to expect it. The idea behind it is to fill empty hotel rooms during off-peak times of the year.
Disney knows people love this offer and some even wait for it.
Since 2017, Disney has offered a free dining plan discount for summer travel dates.
For example in 2019, the offer ran from July 5 through September 2nd. And in the summer of 2018, kids would get the dining plan for free.
But what makes 2024 unique is that Disney ran the free dining plan promotion twice, for nearly the same travel dates.
The first offer came on January 3, 2024, and required visitors to have a Disney+ membership.
Disney then released a second round of free dining on April 9, 2024, also for the summer and this time included September and December as well.
To get the free dining you’ll need to pay the package deposit with a Disney Visa credit or debit card.
That’s not a bad idea because if you don’t already have a Disney Visa you can apply for one and get up to a $400 statement credit plus you’ll get 0% financing on your Dinsey World package for 6 months.
Also on April 9th Disney released a room offer where you can save up to 30% on the nightly hotel rate for summer and fall. This offer is available to everyone, even those who do not have a Disney Visa credit card but it cannot be combined with the free ding deal.
So, should you take advantage of Disney World’s free dining offer? Let’s take a look at a few sample vacation packages and see how it works.
Disney World Free Dining 2024
The free dining package promo for summer 2024 gives guests staying at Disney World Value and Moderate category resorts the quick service dining plan for free.
Deluxe hotel guests can get the regular Disney Dining Plan for free (the one that includes the table service meals).
Required package components:
Minimum of 4-day Park Hopper tickets
Minimum 4 nights at the Disney World hotel
Let’s use a sample family to see how they might do with the free dining offer. This fictional family will consist of 2 adults and 2 children ages 8 and 6, staying 4 nights during the first week of July, at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort Riverside with 4-day Park Hoppers.
This is just sample pricing to illustrate my point, but actual pricing will vary based on dates, length of stay, and party mix.
The non-discounted rate for this offer including the Quick Service Dining Plan is about $5,002. If this family takes the room offer, their package price is $4,705, a savings of about $300.
And if they take the Quick Service Dining Offer, the package price is $4,355.
But what if they take the room offer and exclude the quick-service dining plan? Then their total would be about $4,058. Yes, it’s less than the free quick-service dining offer. But only by $300.
A family of 4 staying 4 nights will easily spend more than $300 on food, so free dining is still the better deal.
What if they stay at a Disney Deluxe hotel? I like Disney’s Yacht Club Resort for free dining because it tends to have the best rates and the most availability.
Now remember at the Deluxe hotels, they will get the table service dining plan for free:
1 table service meal
1 quick service meal
1 snack
This is per night, per person.
The rack rate with the Disney dining plan included without any offers for 4 nights during the first week of July with 4-day park Hoppers comes to $6,760
Now let’s apply some discounts. The room offer with the Disney dining plan comes to $6,028. A savings of $900.
When I apply the free dining offer, the package total comes to $5,768.24, a savings of $1032 compared to the rack rate.
And what about the room offer without a dining plan, compared to free dining? That comes to $5,037.00.
Free dining is $431 more. But think about that for a moment.
For $431 more, they can dine at the best Disney World restaurants, including most character meals. The average price of a character meal is about $50 per person. So $200 for a family of 4.
It’s close when you compare free dining to the room offer. You could easily spend $700 on dining at Disney, especially if you do a character meal.
But the room offer may be the better deal.
This is where I can help. I work with people every day to help them determine which offer works out best for them. I’d be happy to help you too.

Guide to Walt Disney World FREE DINING Offers
For the first time in 4 four years, Disney World is again offering the infamous FREE Dining offer.
Current Free Dining Offers at Disney World
If you’re a Disney Visa Cardmember you can get a FREE Disney Dining Plan for select dates and hotels in July, September, and December 2024.
The trade-off here is that you cannot combine the room discount with this offer. Free Dining Plan offers generally work out better for those that have 4+ people on their reservation.
Otherwise, it might work out better to take the room discount.

Soar with Dragons at Universal Orlando - Epic Universe
Rides, shows and dining coming to Isle of Berk at Universal Orlando
Universal Orlando shared more details on Epic Universe - How to Train Your Dragon - Isle of Berk.
