Monday Morning Magic 10.12.26
Good morning, friends!
We got a bit of rain in Los Angeles this weekend so it is blissfully under 80º today. Perfect Disneyland weather if you ask me, though I can make an argument for pretty much any day being a perfect Disneyland day…
What better way to start off your week than a magical morning full of Disney travel news — I love nothing more than a cup of coffee and a travel itinerary to create.

The Latest Disney Travel News
Disney announced a ton of new details about their upcoming cruise ship - the Disney Believe! It sets sail on it’s inaugural sailing December 18, 2027 but bookings open as soon as TODAY for Castaway Club members, and bookings open to the general public next Monday October 19, 2026. If you’re hoping to sail on one of the first sailings, it’s time to lock in your trip since those sailings WILL sell out quickly. I also have a post on the blog with all the latest news we got about this ship, so you can check out all the fun offerings yourself!
At Aulani, a Disney Resort and Spa, you can save up to 25% on select rooms — including Ocean and Partial Ocean View rooms! — for stays of 5 or more consecutive nights. OR save up to 20% for stays of 4 consecutive nights. Offer valid for stays from January 3 to March 31, 2027 (with checkout no later than April 1, 2027). Book through March 27, 2027. Limited offer subject to availability. Cannot be combined with other discounts or offers.
If you’re looking to book a Disney vacation, and especially if you’re looking to take advantage of any of these deals, make sure you fill out a travel quote request form! My services are complimentary with eligible bookings!
This Day in Disney
The Golden Horseshoe Revue — the original and longest-running show at the Golden Horseshoe Saloon, and an opening-day attraction — closed at Disneyland on October 12, 1986. While there is no show currently running at this venue (the most-recent iteration closed in 2020), the location is still a quick-service restaurant today.
On the Shopping List
I’m *setting an alert now* for this Thursday October 15 @ 6pm PT when the latest Bobby Kim collection “Baddies” drops on DisneyStore.com — everything has that perfect vintage Disney T vibe, and this drop includes some of my favorite characters like Magica de Spell and Vanessa from The Little Mermaid.
I know its still Halloween-time, but our family members are BIG fans of A Muppet Christmas Carol and Old Navy just restocked their holiday pajamas! These went FAST when they first launched, so even though it’s a little early, definitely don’t wait if you’re wanting these for the Christmas season.
