I’d mentioned that the last few months I’ve been working on some big things in my business. The first was my website and the second is my first advertisement!

It’s so exciting to see my ad in print and share my business locally! (Available in select editions of “Coffee News” in St. Catharines and Niagara-On-The-Lake).

14/12/2024

Current mood because I’ve achieved my business goal for 2024! 🎉

Truthfully, I’m not a goals person (which may surprise some people) and I really don’t like setting goals around money/sales so instead, I decided to have a more broad goal for myself this year: make at least one new booking every single month.

I’m so happy to see that I did this. And not only that, December has been my best month of the year!

Thank you SO much to all of my clients who have booked thus supporting me and my business.

My goal for 2025 is to have clients travelling in every month of the year. So if you’re ready for a Disney, Universal, Cruise, Hawai’i, or All-Inclusive vacation, DM or email me and let’s get planning.

The EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival is coming back March 5 - June 2, 2025.

Disney recently announced the dates for this popular festival and now is the PERFECT time to make your plans to attend.

I’ve been to this festival multiple times and it’s one of my favourite times of the year.

Some of the festival highlights include:
🌸 Character Topiaries
🍽️ Festival Exclusive Food & Drinks
🦋 Unique Festival Activities

Attending the festival is included with your park admission. Food, drinks, and select special activities are an additional cost.

If you’re interested in attending the festival next year send me a DM or email me at [email protected] to get planning!

Happy 15th Anniversary to Disney’s Princess and the Frog!

I’ve always loved Tiana because she’s so strong and powerful and also she reminds me of myself: dedicated to working hard for her dreams. But the movie is also a good reminder that there’s more to life than only working hard.

Currently watching “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban” and it has me reminiscing on one of my favourite moments from my time at Universal Orlando Resort in 2015: seeing the Knight Bus!
