1 min of blue ocean wave ambiance.

My grandmother passed away last night. She hasn't been physically well for a long time and mentally has not been enjoying her time Earth side for even longer. Her passing was peaceful, and she was with people who love her, which is all any of us can really hope for at the end of our time. This comes the day after the 9 year anniversary of my Dad's passing by just a few hours, which makes it feel heavier and lighter all at once.

So these blue waves are needed for me today. A reminder of all the beauty that can be found in change, which is one of the only certainties in life. And a moment to pause and recognize all the hope and love left to be felt together in this great experiment of living. 🩵💙 by @disneybestiebailey

First day of my very first solo trip ➡️ to the last.

The infectious joy and energy in those last two photos is everything... but those first two photos are important too Those smiles are happy, but also anxious. Present, but unsure. They are a of a girl who was scared, and did it anyway. And today these photos are giving me inspiration. ✨

To clarify, these are from a few years ago and I have done a 2nd solo trip since then. I think it's about time I start planning a 3rd! by @disneybestiebailey

Hopping back to Disney's Riviera Resort for my favorite resort pool #FavDisneyResortPool for #30DaysOfDisney with @neverland_naturephotography . Specifically the 'quiet' pool at the Riviera (Beau Soleil Pool). I love this pool because it is still close enough to Bar Riva to easily grab drinks without all the hustle and bustle of the main pool. I also love watching the skyliners go by over the lake while I relax.

My 2nd favorite resort pool is the quiet pool at Boardwalk! It is understated and somehow beautiful, but a little too far of a walk from the pool bar to be my number one. 🤭 I'm more of a quiet pool girly to be sure, but I still want my fruity vacation cocktail to unwind with!

Next up for #30DaysOfDisney is Favorite Disney Resort Restaurant for atmosphere. #favdisneyresorteats This was hard! At first my gut said Topolinos, but the vibes I love there require sitting at the bar or lounge. Then I thought Sebastian's, because it is so chill in there, and I LOVE that! I love a place that makes me feel like I can just roll up and have a great time..But then I remembered Toledo and I knew I had my answer.

I've had some really good food here and some food that was just ok, but the service has been incredible every time and the restaurant is beautiful.The color changing ceiling, the trees, the balcony (which you can sometimes catch the fireworks from), and the option to keep the good times rolling just next door at Dahlia Lounge. I love the atmosphere here. Thanks to @neverland_naturephotography for getting my wheels turning with this prompt.

Next up for #30DaysOfDisney with @neverland_naturephotography is #FavDisneyResortEats ! If we're talking food at a resort, it has to be citricos for me. Topolinos was a close second, but ultimately I am more blown away by the flavors and creativity at Citricos. I dream of that salad. With that said, I still haven't done Victoria and Albert's yet, and I'm sure when I finally do that will change things 🤭. But at least they're both on the same place!

Took a few days off from the #30DaysOfDisney fun with @neverland_naturephotography to take a vacation to Maine! (It was lovely and I dearly miss the friends and the weather!) Catching up here with my #favdisneyresort to stay over night in (The Riviera) and my Favorite Disney Resort to visit for the day (Caribbean Beach Resort).

The Riviera is my favorite WDW resort. Hands down. I love the vibe, the size, the multiple dining options (Le Petite Cafe, Primo Piatto, Topolinos + the terrace) the skyliner, the bathrooms (IYKYK), the pools, the rooms, and well... everything!! I've even done a stay in one of the 'minimal' tower rooms and would do it again immediately!

Caribbean Beach is the Resort I grew up going to. We stayed there on our first vacation to WDW and my Dad never gave another resort the time of day. And I get why! It's beautiful, spacious, the Banana Cabana is a legend, and it reminded my parents of their honeymoon. And now it has Sebastian's (amazing!) and the skyliner?! So why isn't it my pick for overnight? Well, I think the size is lovely for a stroll, but when it's the daily layout.. not my favorite. Plus, more space, and tons of rooms large enough to hold 5, means it can often feel crowded. And I absolutely cannot deal with the curtains in the room. They still have the old style AC units in there which prevent the curtains from going all the way to the floor and the lighting for the exterior walkways outside floods into the room. (I'm very light sensitive when trying to sleep.) When they change the curtains, I'll book another stay. But until then, I prefer to stay at Pop (or Riviera when I'm lucky!) and just fly over for a beautiful visit.💖

#FavoriteMKShow for @neverland_naturephotography #30DaysOfDisney had to be Happily Ever After for me. The first time I saw it, I cried a million tears because the music combo of Lion King and Hercules (my Dad's favorite and my favorite) just SENT me! 😭🥹

For day 5 of #30DaysOfDisney with @neverland_naturephotography I had to go with Expedition Everest as my #FavoriteDAKAttraction I ADORE the Safari and all the animal exhibits and Flight of Passage always feels me with a refresh I didn't know I needed... but Everest and I have history. No matter what I have going on outside of that seat... I can let it all out as I scream rolling backwards in the dark before the drop. It's always there for me and is often my favorite ride to do first on a trip!

My #FavoriteHSAttraction for the #30DaysOfDisney prompt from @neverland_naturephotography is also my favorite overall Walt Disney World attraction. The Tower of Terror is THE ride that made me fall in love with thrill rides, at the ripe young age of 6 no less! After a terrible experience on Space Mountain the day before, I don't know how my Dad managed to talk me into hopping into a faulty elevator full of screaming people... but I am forever grateful that he did. I wanted to go again immediately!!

My #favoriteepcotattraction is hands down Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind. I got I Ran as my very first song and the rest is history! My favorite songs to get on Guardians are Conga, Everybody Wants to Rule the World, and I Ran. Loving these #30DaysOfDisney prompts from @neverland_naturephotography !!

Another #30DaysOfDisney prompt from @neverland_naturephotography ! Today's prompt is #FavoriteMKAttraction ! For me my favorite Magic Kingdom attraction has to go to Tiana's Bayou Adventure!

I love Pirates, Haunted Mansion, and PeopleMover, but nothing makes me feel the way this ride does. It is stunning and literally transports me into a story with my favorite princess!! I feel such joy riding this!!

It's also Black and White Wednesday and I love how dramatic the ride sign looks here!!

Excited to try to join in on the #30DaysOfDisney fun that @neverland_naturephotography has started!! Today's prompt is your #favoritedisneypark !

Animal Kingdom is my favorite. 💚💚💚

Inever spend as much time there as I intend to (Epcot is for sure the park I spend the most time in!) but I absolutely adore DAK. There is a spirit there, a connective intention, and so much thought and care all around. From the incredible cast members who care for the animals to all the little details that you can discover. It's the park that keeps on giving to me. The one that centers me and helps me be present. And the stress release I get on Expedition Everest is honestly unmatched!
