You Are Almost There…

In 2020, I trained to become one of an elite group of travel industry professionals who have attained a special knowledge of the Disneyland®️ Resort, Walt Disney World®️ Resort, Disney Cruise Line®️ Adventures by Disney®️, and Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa. As a graduate of the College of Disney Knowledge, I am now a part of this elite group. “The College of Disney Knowledge was extremely beneficial to me,” “It was a fun and informative way to learn more about the Disney vacation portfolio. I also feel more confident about selling Disney destinations.”

Anyone who plans to visit the Disneyland®️ Resort, Walt Disney World®️ Resort, Disney Cruise Line®️ Adventures by Disney®️, and Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa will benefit from this added expertise. “The College of Disney Knowledge has taught me how to add more value to each Disney itinerary so that I can help make every client’s magical dreams come true!”

The name “Almost There Travel by Gina”. came out of my love for the Disney movie “The Princess and the Frog”.

Hardworking and ambitious, Tiana dreams of one day opening the finest restaurant in New Orleans. Her dream takes a detour when she meets Prince Naveen, who has been turned into an amphibian by evil Dr. Facilier.

One of the movie’s most memorable songs (and my favorite to listen to while working) is “Almost There”, where Tiana sings about how she is getting closer to her dream of owning that restaurant every day.

You are getting closer to your dream of a Disney vacation… you are almost there…

Convenience Is King: Your Castle Awaits

Hello Disney aficionados! Gina here, your go-to gal for all things Disney at Almost There Travel by Gina. Ever wondered why staying on Disney properties is such a big deal? Well, you’re in for a treat. Let’s dive into reason numero uno: convenience. Picture this. You’ve just wrapped up a day filled with Space Mountain thrills and Cinderella Castle selfies. The best part? No need to hustle through crowded parking lots or wait for packed shuttle buses. Because when you’re staying on Disney property, your cozy bed is just a whimsical monorail, boat, or Skyliner ride away. Now tell me, isn’t that magical?

Zip Around With Complimentary Transportation

But wait, there’s more. If you’ve ever been to Walt Disney World, you know it’s sprawling. Like, “honey, did we bring the map?” sprawling. But worry not! When you stay on Disney property, the world—Walt Disney World, that is—becomes your oyster. Hop onto a bus, catch a monorail, or float down the waterways on a boat. The cherry on top? It’s all free. That’s right, complimentary transportation means you can hop between parks and resorts without spending a dime. And that’s what I call traveling in style.

Extra Magic Hours: Less Waiting, More Wowing

Remember the days when you woke up early, just to have a head start on fun? At Disney, this childhood joy is a reality, thanks to Extra Magic Hours. As a guest on Disney property, you’re the VIP. Parks open their gates 30 to 60 minutes earlier just for you. Imagine having the Magic Kingdom practically to yourself, riding the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train without the usual wait, or snapping selfies in front of a nearly empty Epcot globe. And for those staying at Deluxe Resorts, nighttime Extra Magic Hours are a thing too. Less crowds, more fun! Who wouldn’t want that?

Dine with Mickey Before Everyone Else

If you’re the planner of the group, the type who outlines their Disney adventure to the tee, then you’re going to love this one: Advanced Dining Reservations. When you’re staying on property, you get to secure your dining reservations 60 days in advance. That’s two months to guarantee you won’t miss out on the legendary Be Our Guest Restaurant or that coveted dinner with Mickey Mouse himself. And let’s be real, nothing says “vacation success” like a meal with the big cheese.

Free Parking: A Little Perk That Goes a Long Way

Lastly, for my road-tripping Disney enthusiasts, here’s something that’ll make you smile—free parking! When you stay on Disney properties, say goodbye to those pesky parking fees at your resort and the theme parks. More money saved means more Mickey ice cream bars, right?

So there you have it, folks. My top five reasons why staying on Disney properties makes your trip not just magical, but also ultra-convenient.
