TIPS AND THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE YOU GO:

• Wear comfortable shoes! This is a walking tour and it takes 1-2 hours to walk the experience.  I suggest getting there early to make sure you can view all Zoo Lights has to offer!  There are no shuttles and the train is not operating during Zoo Lights either so be prepared to WALK.
• The Zoo is closed so don't expect to see any animals unless they make a special appearance at the Animal Encounters booth
• Parking is FREE! Parking attendants are on site to make this easy, but expect to park and walk to the front entrance.
• Wagons and Strollers and KIDS are welcome! There are many activities for kids of all ages as you walk through (the Carousel is also open for an additional fee)

• Outside Food and drinks are not allowed.  Concessions are available for purchase throughout (and yes they have adult beverages too!)
• Bring a Camera - there are lots of photo opps and even Selfie stations along the path!
• You can also stop at Polar Pics to take pictures with Santa through December 23 (additional cost, photo packages are available)
• EVENT MAP - there are large maps at locations throughout - no printed maps  - so screenshot the map online here so you can find all the spots easier and make sure you don't miss anything 

• LIVE ENTERTAINMENT at the Jingle Bells Stage near the Sea Lions | Nightly schedule listed here
• Checkout MISTLETOE MARKET for handmade crafts and gift from vendors - get some shopping done too!
• Need more information? It's all listed HERE

GIVEAWAY ~ WONDER Screening in NOLA 11/14 - 25 winners to receive 4-pack tickets!

 Why Blend in When you were Born to Stand Out?

WONDER comes out in theatres on November 17th, but Tiff's Deals has the opportunity to see an ADVANCED Screening of this film!

The early screening for WONDER is as follows:
WHERE: AMC Palace Elmwood
WHEN:  Tuesday, November 14 at 7:30 pm

 Based on the New York Times bestseller, WONDER tells the inspiring and heartwarming story of August Pullman.  Born with facial differences that, up until now, have prevented him from going to a mainstream school, Auggie becomes the most unlikely of heroes when he enters the local fifth grade.  As his family, his new classmates, and the larger community all struggle to find their compassion and acceptance, Auggie's extraordinary journey will unite them all and prove you can't blend in when you were born to stand out.

NOTE: Seats are not guaranteed as more passes are given out than seats available (see tips below to make sure you get a seat!)

I am doing a GIVEAWAY for MULTIPLE 4-packs of advanced screening passes for WONDER on this blogpost - see below to enter! MULTIPLE WINNERS - 26 WINNERS TOTAL!

I am always posting great deals and giveaways - so make sure to
like Tiff's Deals on facebook HERE so you don't miss out!

Check out the trailer:

GENERAL TIPS FOR EARLY SCREENINGS:

As I have attended MANY advanced screenings of films, here are some tips/suggestions:

• ARRIVE EARLY! This pass does NOT guarantee admission as more passes are given out than seats available. Seats are first come, first serve – so the key is to arrive early! As this screening starts at 7:30 pm, I would suggest arriving between 5-5:30 pm. You will most likely be waiting in line outside until the Theatre doors open so come prepared.

• EVERYONE MUST BE PRESENT! The promoters will usually hand out bands in advance – all of your guests must be present when this happens.  Usually, you are allowed to enter the Movie to select your seats around 6 pm.

• GO GET SEATS BEFORE FOOD! Once you can enter the theatre, go get seats right away! Remember every seat in the theatre will eventually be filled, so don’t get stuck in the front row! AMC has FREE refills on Large Popcorn and Drinks, so take advantage of this!

• ENJOY THE MOVIE- and most importantly, remember you saw it for FREE!

Why you Need a Travel Agent for Your Disney Vacation {$25 Disney Gift Card Giveaway too}

 Tiff's Deals received compensation for this blog post and is not responsible for booking or coordinating travel arrangements.  

Cupcake Castles is taking over the DISNEY travel market and I have to say as a deal shopper, they found some GREAT DEALS for me - and can do the same for you as well!

And Cupcake Castles Travel Agent Heather Ross is also sponsoring a $25 Disney gift card GIVEAWAY on this blog spot - so scroll down to enter to win!

For starters, I went to Disney.com direct and selected everything I wanted for my Disney vacation...I then sent the same dates, locations, etc to agent at Cupcake Castles and she instantly saved me over $800! I was sold right there!  But there are a few other PERKS to using a travel agent for your Disney Vacation - and  HEATHER ROSS offers ALL of them to you for FREE!

• When booking your vacation with me you will pay the same price you would if you booked on your own. There are no additional fees when booking with me. WIN/WIN!

• I discount monitor. This means that once you are booked if any promotions or discounts are released I would apply them to your already booked vacation package for you. (and she does ALL the work for you!)

• You will have a personal reservation page that I will create for you loaded with important dates, helpful link, and your current reservation details from Disney!  This was a lifesaver for me - it was my own personal cheat sheet!

• I will send you reminders of you important dates. When it is time to book your dining reservations, fast passes, and final payment so you won't miss a thing!  I am up super early each day making dining reservations and fast pass selections for my guests who want me to make those for them so they don't have to stress about those details of their trip!

• If you love to do the planning yourself you still can. I am here to help as much as you need me to. I have lots of guests who like to do their own detail planning but enjoy having me as their "Disney BFF" to bounce ideas off of!

• I am here to answer any and all questions you have no matter how silly they may be :) No waiting on hold for hours to get in touch with a Disney cast member just shoot me a text or email and I will respond to your question. Another plus is that you will always talk to me not a different person each time you need something. 

• If you have any issues at all before or during your vacation I am in your corner! I am here to help as much as I can to make sure your vacation is as MAGICAL as possible. Side Note: I had a baggage issue on my vacation, and before I even arrived, Cupcake Castles had already sorted it out with Disney directly and my luggage arrived to my room with no stress for me! 

DISNEY NOT YOUR THING?

I would love to help with any other vacation planning you have in mind. I also specialize in family travel, groups, destination  - HELLO SANDALS AND BEACHES! Who is ready for a VACATION NOW??
