dylan15+FollowBig hotel changes coming to Disney WorldMajor updates are rolling out at four of Disney World’s most popular hotels just as the busy season approaches. If you’re planning a stay at Pop Century, Contemporary, Coronado Springs, or Animal Kingdom Lodge, expect some construction and refurbishments—think lobby closures, pool renovations, and a bit of extra noise in certain areas. Plus, the Disney Skyliner will be down for maintenance in January 2026, so bus rides will be the way to go. Even with all these changes, Disney promises to keep the magic alive. How do you feel about hotel upgrades during your vacation? Would construction impact your plans? #Travel #DisneyWorld #TravelTips233Share
Nicholas Lyons+FollowCarnival Cruises Cancelled—What’s Going On?Carnival just axed five 2027 sailings on the Carnival Breeze out of Galveston, and no one’s saying why. This comes after a bunch of 2026 trips were also scrapped. If you had plans, you can rebook, but it’s still a bummer. On the bright side, Carnival’s adding new routes, including a return to Acapulco after 15 years. Would you risk booking this far out? #Travel #CarnivalCruise #TravelNews188220Share
Alexander Thomas+FollowTSA’s Face Scan: No More ID Needed?You can now breeze through security at 14 major US airports without flashing your ID—just your face! TSA’s new PreCheck Touchless ID program uses facial recognition to verify you, so no more digging for your license or passport. Plus, liquids can stay in your bag and there are new family lanes. You’ll still need to bring your ID as backup, but this is a total game-changer for travelers! Would you trust facial recognition at the airport? #Travel #TSA #TravelHacks00Share
sperkins+FollowDisney World’s $199 Minnie Van: Worth it?Disney World just rolled out a dedicated Minnie Van airport service for Deluxe resort guests—but it’ll cost you $199 each way. That’s a big jump from the days of the free Magical Express, which many of us still miss for its convenience and perks like luggage delivery. While the Minnie Van offers Disney flair, snacks, and car seats for families, it’s hard not to wonder if the price is really justified, especially when regular rideshares are much cheaper. Would you pay extra for a Disney-branded ride, or do you wish the Magical Express would make a comeback? #Travel #DisneyWorld #MinnieVan00Share
Brad Ramirez+FollowAirport Nap Room: Total Game Changer!Layovers at Atlanta’s airport just got a major upgrade. I tried out a private 'nap room' with my daughter, and honestly, it was almost perfect. We actually slept, had our own space, and dodged the usual airport chaos. The catch? It’s pricey unless you’ve got a Priority Pass (first hour free, then $40/hr). Would I do it again? Absolutely—with the discount. Full price? Eh, not so much. But for a real rest mid-travel, it’s a win! #Travel #TravelHacks #AirportLife10Share
Dr. Michael Henson+FollowAbilene’s new sloth bear is here!Vicki, a rare sloth bear with a big personality, just made the Abilene Zoo her temporary home—and she’s already stealing the show. With fewer than 20,000 sloth bears left in the wild, seeing one up close is a real treat. Vicki’s quirky habits, like gobbling up thousands of insects and playing with her toys, make her a must-see this summer. Her stay highlights the importance of conservation and the unique role zoos play in protecting vulnerable species. Who’s planning a visit to meet Vicki? Let’s talk about what makes these animals so fascinating! #Travel #AbileneZoo #SlothBear00Share

dylan15+FollowHow France Feels Totally Different NowThought Paris was the only way to do France? Same—until I married a French guy. Now, my trips are all about slow mornings in tiny villages, epic hikes, and eating my weight in regional food from local markets. Forget the tourist checklist—immersing in daily life (and skipping the crowds) is where the real magic is. Bonus: I still eat way too many croissants, but now they're even better! #Travel #FranceTravel #TravelTips00Share
Alexander Thomas+FollowSecret Crew Bunks on Qatar’s 777s!Ever wondered where flight attendants catch their Z’s on those ultra-long flights? On Qatar Airways’ Boeing 777s, there’s a hidden crew rest area above the rear galley—think eight cozy bunks, dim lighting, and just enough space to stretch out (if you’re not too tall). It’s a little claustrophobic, but way better than an economy seat! No wonder Qatar keeps winning ‘best airline’ awards. Would you nap here? #Travel #QatarAirways #FlightAttendantLife10Share
ashley89+FollowDisney’s Secret to a Mosquito-Free ZoneEver wondered why you never get bitten at Disney World, even though it’s in the middle of muggy Florida? Turns out, Disney’s anti-mosquito game is next level: no standing water anywhere, tons of natural predators like dragonflies and bats, and even a little garlic spray (though experts say citronella and certain plants work better). If you want your backyard to be as bug-free as the Magic Kingdom, start by ditching puddles and inviting some mosquito-eating friends! #Travel #DisneyWorld #MosquitoHacks62Share
