16 ½ hour day. 25,800 steps. Blistered feet.
And 100% worth it! 🦶🎢✨

Spent an unforgettable day exploring two of Walt Disney World’s most incredible parks — Animal Kingdom and EPCOT — and every moment was filled with magic and memories! 💫

🦁 Animal Kingdom highlights:
• Enjoyed the Festival of the Lion King – the music, acrobatics, and energy were absolutely incredible!
• Watched Finding Nemo: The Big Blue… and Beyond! – a beautiful blend of puppetry, storytelling, and Disney charm.
• Took a wild ride on the Kilimanjaro Safari and got up close with giraffes, lions, and elephants.
• Explored the stunning Pandora – World of Avatar – especially magical after sunset! 🌌

🌍 EPCOT favorites:
• Sipped and snacked our way around World Showcase
• Soared over the globe with Soarin’ Around the World – felt like we were flying over the Great Wall, Eiffel Tower, and more - truly breathtaking.
• Ended the evening with a spectacular nighttime show filled with lights, music, and fireworks.

✨Two parks, one magical day, and countless memories made. ✨
There’s no place like Disney!

🌊☀️ Got to spend a day at Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon – and WOW! What an adventure! ☀️🌊

If you’re looking for the perfect mix of thrills, relaxation, and tropical vibes, Typhoon Lagoon has it all. Here’s what makes this water park a must-visit:

🌊 Miss Adventure Falls – A family raft ride with storytelling and fun twists. Great for all ages!

🌪️ Crush ‘n’ Gusher – Think water slide meets roller coaster! These water coasters launch you through hairpin turns and drops.

🛟 Castaway Creek – A relaxing lazy river that winds through the entire park. Float under waterfalls and through misty caves.

🌈 Keelhaul Falls & Mayday Falls – Classic inner tube slides with stunning views and refreshing splashes.

🧒 Ketchakiddee Creek – A super fun kids’ play area with mini slides, fountains, and splash zones – perfect for little ones!

🍍 Island eats – Dole Whip, tropical drinks, BBQ, and beachside snacks galore!

🏖️ White sandy beaches & shady spots – Relax and recharge in your own tropical paradise.

🛟 Good to Know:

I just had the pleasure of visiting Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge, thanks to a friend and fellow agent. If your family loves animals this is the place for you!

🦒 Discover the Magic of Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge 🌍

Looking for a Disney resort that’s more than just a place to sleep? Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge isn’t just a hotel—it’s an experience like no other. Imagine waking up to the sight of giraffes grazing just outside your balcony, dining on award-winning African-inspired cuisine, and relaxing in a stunning resort that transports you straight to the heart of the savanna.

🌿 Stay Among the Wildlife

This isn’t a theme—it’s the real thing. With over 30 species of African animals, including zebras, ankole cattle, and giraffes, roaming the savannas, this resort offers a truly immersive experience. Book a Savanna View Room for the ultimate “wow” moment every morning.

🍽️ Flavors of Africa

Foodies, rejoice! Enjoy rich African flavors at Boma – Flavors of Africa, indulge in fine dining at Jiko – The Cooking Place, or grab a casual bite at The Mara. Even the pickiest eaters will find something to love.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Fun for All Ages

Whether it’s kids splashing at Samawati Springs Pool or adults unwinding at Zahanati Spa, there’s something for everyone. Daily cultural activities, drum circles, and storytelling sessions bring African traditions to life.

✨ Why I Recommend It

As a travel agent, I love recommending Animal Kingdom Lodge to clients who want more than a hotel—they want an adventure. It’s perfect for families, couples, and anyone looking to add a little extra magic to their Walt Disney World vacation.

🌟 Thank You, Travelsavers! 🌟

I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to have attended the Travelsavers Market at the beautiful Hyatt Regency Orlando in Florida! This amazing event brought together travel professionals from across North America, and it was a true privilege to be part of it.

From networking with fellow agents, to meeting top-tier suppliers, to diving into new learning opportunities—this market was packed with value. Every conversation, every session, and every connection added something special to my experience and will help me better serve my clients.

Go with Hippo was also honoured to have won 2 awards - Elite (for a second year) and Inspire as a top three Canadian agency.

Thank you to Travelsavers and everyone who made this event possible. I’m leaving Orlando inspired, informed, and more connected than ever. Can’t wait for next year in San Antonio!

It’s conference time again!
It’s because of my clients and for my clients that I get to attend these. And this is a beautiful resort - just around the corner from Disney.

Good news for Halifax!

WestJet is wasting no time after Delta’s $330 million investment. Just days later, the Canadian airline expanded its codeshare partnership with Air France and KLM, opening access to 18 new European cities.

The move lets WestJet passengers book single-ticket itineraries through Paris and Amsterdam, with baggage checked all the way through. From Halifax, the new route to Amsterdam begins May 29 and connects to 14 cities via KLM, including Prague, Porto, and Milan. Over in Paris, Air France will now link WestJet travelers to four more destinations: Bologna, Bucharest, Budapest, and Prague.

It’s a big win for travelers from Atlantic Canada. They’ll now face fewer layovers, more choices, and easier access across Europe. Flights from Calgary to Paris continue daily on WestJet’s 787 Dreamliners, while routes from Halifax and St John’s use the 737 MAX 8.

With SkyTeam partners now owning 25% of WestJet, these upgrades mark a clear shift in strategy. The airline is aligning more closely with global giants—without losing its Canadian roots.

In South Korea, the sea opens twice a year for just 1 hour. This is the miracle of Jindo, when thousands of people cross the sea on foot. In South Korea, a special tidal phenomenon causes the sea to open twice a year, allowing free passage between Jingo and Modo islands for a short period of time.
