DISNEYLAND vs WALT DISNEY WORLD ••• I was l DISNEYLAND vs WALT DISNEY WORLD ••• I was lucky enough to visit both during my childhood but even luckier to return this year as a #disneypartner , so i’m feeling strangely qualified to answer this age old debate. Many don’t realise these are two completely different places on opposite sides of the country and if you’re ever planning to visit, you’re definitely going to want to know the differences. @disneyland 🎢 2 theme parks in the same complex 🏩 3 hotels @waltdisneyworld 🎢 4 theme parks 🛝 2 water parks 🏩 31 hotels ⛳️ 1 golf course ••• Walt Disney World may win in size given 51 disneylands could fit into the whole of Disney World but let’s see how they compare overall: ⏰ strapped for time? Disneyland as it is possible to do in a day (most comfortably 2-3) while 3 would be the minimum for WDW 💰 tight budget? for the same reason Disneyland takes the lead again. 🏨 wanting to experience a disney stay? If you want to make the most of unique themes, variety, extended hours, free transport and more, Walt Disney World has you covered! 🦒 highly recommended the Animal Kingdom Lodge 💁🏽‍♀️ going solo? this is an incredibly underrated way to visit the theme parks and if I could recommend you to do so anywhere Disneyland is the best with its wider range of single rider lines 🎡 for thrill seekers? The incredicoaster and Mickey’s ferris wheel of terror at California Adventure takes the win for Disneyland on this one. Not to mention all the wilder rider are condensed into the one place so it’s easier to navigate. Look, there are so many things that come into play like weather, where you’re flying from, do you have a habit of getting lost, who you’re travelling with, what level of disney adult are you…. but ultimately the answer to Disneyland vs Walt Disney World will come down to you. but don’t worry, I’ll always be here to answer questions and come along as a plus one 😉 ••• So what park would you choose?
What do you love most about travel? 🌏 ••• What do you love most about travel? 🌏 ••• Considering its #worldtourismday , I didn’t want to simply answer that but dive a little deeper into what being in the tourism industry means to me especially continuing into PART 6️⃣ of 8 highlights from my 8th year as a travel creator: And I can think of no better trip to look back of that captures those reasons quite like this one GOLD COAST GIRLS TRIP with @tessomewhere 🍾🥂🌞🖼️🦪🦙⛰️🏖️🍩 ••• Having been in all corners of the industry over the years, this was a unique opportunity that connected them all. You see, Tess had come through my @thewanderworkshops , shortly after quit her job to chase her wildest travel blogging dreams. Little did I know she was out there putting her newfound confidence and skills to use to pitch us for a very special press trip with @destinationgoldcoast and it only got better from there as we: - found hidden gems even within one of Australia’s top tourism regions - were invited into the diverse food scene - crossed paths with old friends, met up with new ones and just missed some others yep im talking about you @haz_and_loz and @twosometravellers 👋🏼 - got lost - took all of the photos and videos - fell deeper in love with this extraordinary country we call home @australia
🪧 this is your sign to book a spontaneous holid 🪧 this is your sign to book a spontaneous holiday you deserve it! ••• Welcome to Barcelona ‘business’ trips with @findingalexx 🇪🇸 Although this actually all started with the last minute decision to attend the WTM conference in London. But I usually try to stick to the rule of ⭐️ How many hours it takes to fly is the minimum amount of days you should spend to make a trip worth it ⭐️ soooo obviously the only reasonable thing to make that hefty flight from Aus to Europe worth it was to add on week in Barcelona… on this trip we: ✈️ - both won international trips at the conference 🍹- spent way too much on cocktails 💕- met some incredible people and finally each other! 📸- took a million photos of this insane view from our apartment 🥂- okayyy we did some work, it was still technically a @thewanderworkshops biz trip, there just happened to be a lot of wine involved Hmm maybe i’ll take this as sign of my own and book another hahah ••• what’s a travel rule you live by?

HOW TO WIN FREE TRIPS AROUND THE WORLD ••• t HOW TO WIN FREE TRIPS AROUND THE WORLD ••• take it from someone that won a trip to the Maldives that deserves its spot as PART 3️⃣ of 8 highlights from my 8th year as a travel creator. 🏆 YOU GOTTA BE IN IT TO WIN IT Starting with the most obvious that is also the most overlooked. Whether it’s a simply comment on a post, answering in 25 word or less or uploading a video entry, you’re not going to win if you don’t put yourself out there. 🕵🏽‍♀️ WHERE TO FIND SPECIAL COMPETITIONS the above is all good and well to say but if you can’t find anything to be in to win, how are you supposed to win?! well, you’re welcome because after engaging with this, all your suggested posts are likely to be travel giveaways haha Once you start looking for them, you’ll see they are EVERYWHERE ⭐️ HOW TO SPOT THE SCAMS unfortunately, not all of them you’ll spot are legit so to avoid the trap, you need to: - check if it’s a verified and trusted brand. In this case it was hosted by @visitmaldives - actually read the T's & C's - don’t put bank details in 👩🏽‍💻 STALK THE RULES/ENTRIES let that fear work for you as it will put a lot of people off entering even the legit opportunities giving you more opportunity to WIN. Whether the comp has its own website or hashtag, a lot of the time you can stalk other entries and interest to gauge your chances. this is the secret to my ‘luck’. ••• Have you ever won a competition before? if so, what was it and how did you win?
