Meet The Glow Team!

For the first time ever, all 7 of us were together yesterday to attend a special workshop with Disney. How lucky are we, not only to be hosted by Disney but for the timing to work out to allow us to gather together!

Something that sets our team apart is that we work TOGETHER. We are collaborative in every way, and we all bring unique skillsets, passions and talents to the team. From our collaborative guides & detailed park strategies, to supporting one another when we have tricky Disney Cruise Line activity bookings or theme park dining reservations for large groups, to brainstorming and offering one another advice and picking one another’s brains. We are all individuals with unique personalities and specialities, but we work together as ONE. When you book with any Glow With Me Adventures agent, you have access to the entire hives minds.

I started Glow With Me Adventures working as an independent contractor for a host agency 3 years ago, but the agency as it is now - a full scale travel agency capable of booking any destination in the world 🌎, licensed independently in BC - officially turns 1 this weekend.

We are #1 in sales for Disneyland in ALL of CANADA - thank you to everyone for your bookings, referrals and supporting a small Canadian business 🇨🇦 We couldn’t have made this remarkable feat in our first year without every one of you!

I am honored to be the owner of this agency, but Glow With Me Adventures couldn’t exist or be where we are without all 7 members of my team:








Thank you, thank you, thank you.

✨Big Walt Disney World news this morning!✨

As of February 25, Guardians of the Galaxy at Epcot & Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at Magic Kingdom will not require a virtual queue. The rides will be switching to standby lines!

This means no setting an alarm for 7am or 1pm to sign up for the Virtual Queue - that definitely was an adrenaline rush!

Instead, here is how you’ll be able to access the rides starting February 25:

🚀 Guardians of the Galaxy: Standby line & Lightning Lane Single Pass

🐸 Tiana’s Bayou Adventure: Standby line, Lightning Lane Multi Pass

⏰ Early Entry: Whether these rides become available for Early Entry for Resort Guests is unknown still. Either way, I expect guests will start lining up as soon as they can. At Epcot, this might take off some of the demand for Ratatouille and Frozen. At Magic Kingdom, this may shift some of the demand for Seven Dwarves Mine Train.

This is HUGE news, especially for Guardians which has been open for a while now. All Virtual Queues at Walt Disney World will be gone 👋 which eliminates a step that some people found quite stressful.

I’ll be monitoring the app and guest feedback once this change goes live and updating my park guides and strategies accordingly.

What are your thoughts? Is this a welcome change or did you prefer the Virtual Queue?

My inbox has been blowing up with questions about the Disney Cruise Line Summer 2026 release, and as it is every year, Alaska has been a hot topic! 🔥

It’s no surprise—Alaska cruises are always super popular around here! With so many of us hailing from Vancouver, these sailings are just so easy. No flights, no pre-trip hotel… just hop on board and go! The only major cost? The cruise itself!

🚢✨ Top 2 Disney Cruise Line Sailings to Alaska! ✨🚢

Here are my top two sail dates for 2026 that offer the best mix of pricing, timing, and experience:

🚢August 27 – September 3, 2026 (7-Night Sailing)🚢
📍 Best pricing for a summer cruise before school starts!
💰 Enjoy great summer weather, incredible wildlife sightings, and breathtaking glaciers—all at a better price than peak summer dates! This sailing is a perfect way to wrap up summer before the new school year begins.

🚢May 16 – 21, 2026 (5-Night Sailing) 🚢
📍 Perfect for a shorter getaway over a long weekend!
⏳ There’s only ONE 5-night itinerary for the entire season! This is ideal for anyone who wants to experience Alaska in less time—without using up a full week of vacation days. As a bonus, early-season sailings mean gorgeous snowy landscapes.

If these dates don’t line up for you, there are 33 other Alaska sailings for 2026 between May and September!

✨ BOOKING DETAILS ✨

🚨 Bookings open to the general public on February 17 (or earlier if you’ve sailed with Disney before!).

💰 Deposits & Payments:

✨A 20% deposit is required to secure your spot.
✨Final payment is due 120 days before sailing—you can pay in installments or all at once.
✨Plans change? No worries! Your deposit is fully refundable until the final payment due date.

✨ WHAT’S INCLUDED IN A DISNEY CRUISE? ✨

Think of your cruise almost like an all-inclusive vacation! Once you’re onboard, you truly don’t have to spend another dime if you don’t want to. Disney Cruise Line is known for its exceptional service and all-inclusive offerings, so you can relax and enjoy your vacation knowing that meals, entertainment, and most activities are included in the price of the cruise.

Here’s what’s covered in the price of your cruise:
🎭Broadway-Quality Shows 🎭

The biggest news? Alaska is doubling up, with both Wonder AND Magic sailing round trip from Vancouver to Alaska in 2026.

❄️This brings a wonderful second option to those wanting to cruise Alaska that perhaps have been on Wonder previously and want to switch it up.

Sign me up, because I have been itching to cruise Alaska and I’ve been itching to cruise Magic again - what a wonderful combo!

✨16 months of planning, waiting, paying & excitedly anticipating and WE 👏 ARE 👏 HERE!!!!

Today is the day that my family boards Disney Treasure, alongside 3 other near and dear families that we have been planning this trip with for ages. Stephanie Stark - Glow With Me Adventures & I booked Disney Treasure on the very first day it was available to book, in September 2023. I cannot wait for the moment I step on board holding the hands of my children & husband, and gaze in awe at this marvelous ship.

Booking a cruise so far in advance not only meant we got the best pricing, stateroom selection (helllooo connecting verandahs), and ability to pay the cruise down slowly over time - but we had time to build up the excitement which makes today even more surreal!

Follow along this week as we spend 7 nights aboard Disney Treasure - with stops in St Thomas USVI and Tortola BVI where we have chartered a boat to tour us around - and Disney Castaway Cay.

Let me know what you want to see during our epic cruise vacation!

✨Disney Treasure Trip Recap✨

Wow — where do I even begin to summarize the most unforgettable experience I just had on a 3-night preview sailing of Disney Treasure? As Disney Cruise Line’s newest cruise ship, Treasure has been on my radar from the very start. I’ve followed its construction journey and booked a family trip for the moment sailings were released way back in September 2023 (coming up next month!) So, with expectations set pretty high, I boarded with eager anticipation.

I am thrilled to say that Disney Treasure didn’t just meet my expectations — it blew them out of the water!

No photo or video could have prepared me for the experience on this majestic palace at sea (can we make that its official title?). It’s the most fitting description for this stunning ship.

Every space on Disney Treasure feels intentional, with thoughtful details and magical touches at every turn. The bold & dark, yet warm & luxurious color palette creates an ambiance of elegance and adventure.

The lounges? Pure magic. Each one is a destination in itself. From the underwater Periscope Pub to the jungle vibe of Skipper Society Lounge, every space feels like you are stepping into a story. Then there’s the moody energy of S**t Cat Club and the jaw-dropping Haunted Mansion Parlor - in fact, Haunted Mansion Parlor deserves a special mention. It's so immersive and surreal that “Is this real life?” was a constant question amongst our group. Disney has earned themselves a standing ovation for that one 👏👏👏

A cruise experience wouldn’t be complete without the pools, and Disney Treasure has 10 of them. There’s something for everyone, from family-friendly splash zones to Quiet Cove, the adults-only retreats. Thrill-seekers will love AquaMouse, Disney’s first attraction at sea, where you’ll zoom through a water adventure.

The theater shows on Disney Treasure are equally spectacular. Experience Moana as she comes to life on stage for the first time - the show had me in tears for the majority, not just because of the emotional storyline but because of the joy felt that something was performed and produced so magically. The timeless tale of Beauty and the Beast is also told, with a stunning performance and special effects. Seas the Adventure features favorite Disney characters that everyone knows and loves.

Disney Treasure is more than a cruise ship — it’s a floating masterpiece of imagination and luxury. I expected Disney to do a phenomenal job, but this was next level - executed in a way that only Disney can. I’m already counting down the days until my next voyage aboard this treasure of the seas (33, if you’re wondering!) If you have a chance to sail on the Treasure, take it. Trust me, you’ll be just as enchanted as I was.

✨Disney Treasure is booking through May 2026, allowing plenty of time to save, plan and get excited! Sailings are available as soon as January 2025 if you are looking for the ultimate vacation as soon as possible. Reach out if you would like more information!

✨Introducing our newest agent to join our team - Meet Jennifer Ocampo, travel agent at Glow With Me Adventures✨ 



Hello everyone!  I’m Jennifer, a fun-loving mom of two kiddos, aged 2 and 4, and a passionate travel agent at Glow With Me Adventures. My grandmother, a travel agent herself, instilled in me a love for exploring the world, and I have been fortunate to experience many amazing adventures in North America and Europe. 

 My journey into the wonderful world of Disney began at age two, when I first fell in love with the joy and magic of Disneyland. My husband also loves everything Disney and we have travelled to Disneyland several times - both before and after having kids!  Our most recent Disney adventure was to Walt Disney World with our kids, and I am excited to be heading back this week for the Disney Treasure Preview!

There’s something truly magical about experiencing the parks through the eyes of my children, creating unforgettable memories with every visit.  Disney Parks will always hold a special place in my heart, especially Disneyland.  My favorite thing to do at Disneyland is to spend a quiet morning just walking about, or enjoying a Mint Julep and Mickey Beignets while riding the train around the park. I also love spending time with the characters and seeing my children’s eyes light up with joy and wonder at meeting them! 

As a huge Star Wars and Frozen fan, my favorite characters are Anna from Frozen and Ahsoka from Star Wars. 

Sharing my passion for Disney, Universal, and cruising vacations brings me immense joy!  Whether it’s planning a first-time visit or a trip for seasoned adventurers, I love making each vacation magical and stress-free for my clients.  I believe that travel shapes us in ways we can never experience at home, and I’m here to help you create those wonderful memories with your family.  Walt Disney said, “All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them.”  Helping families create magical memories is my dream ❤️🏰

🎄Walt Disney World - Trip Report - November 29-December 4🎄

Wow! We did it ALL during our whirlwind agency trip to Walt Disney World earlier this week! From multiple Christmas parties, to resort tours, and cruise ship tours and even a surprise VIP tour…. We maximized our time and took it all in! Here’s a little recap of our first ever agency trip!

✨ Stephanie Stark - Glow With Me Adventures, Marina Mooney - Glow With Me Adventures & Amanda Perez - Glow With Me Adventures all joined me for a 5 night trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth

✨ Our goal was to learn and research as much as possible about the holiday season offering at Walt Disney World, and update our strategies and intel on the new Lighting Lane system

✨We also wanted to try out specific restaurants to offer first hand feedback to our clients
1. Topolinos Terrace Character Breakfast - what a great kick off to our first full day! This was probably my 5th time dining here and it never disappoints!
2. Liberty Tree Tavern - a very unique restaurant with home style thanksgiving dinner - the perfect pre-Christmas party meal at Magic Kingdom!
3. Hacienda de San Angel - we booked the Candlelight Processional dining package, incredible value on the Disney Dining Plan and amazing food!
4. Festival of the Holidays booths - it isn’t a trip to Epcot without enjoying the festival booths!

✨Disney Dining Plan - we tried this the first 2 nights of our trip to compare to the end of the trip without using a dining plan. The consensus was that Dining Plans are 100% worth it, with some tricks to maximize the value best.

✨We attended both after hours holiday parties offered at Walt Disney World:
1. Jollywood Nights at Hollywood Studios (fun but lesson learnt that we should have planned our evening better to maximize the unique party offerings)
2. Mickeys Very Merry Christmas Party (absolutely amazing, and I was able to trial a strategy that worked out really well and will be added to client guides).

✨Resort Tours - in addition to staying at 4 resorts over 5 nights to gain first hand knowledge, we toured several. On this trip we stayed or touched down at:
1. Riviera Resort
2. Port Orleans Resort
3. Old Key West Resort
4. Pop Century
5. Boardwalk Inn
6. Wilderness Lodge

✨Candlelight Processional at Epcot is pretty much a must this time of year. It’s surreal to see the full
Orchestra and choir performing the Christmas story alongside a celebrity narrator. This is more of an adult activity than a kid one, but it’s worth it if it’s possible!

✨We were so lucky Disney offered us a ship tour of Disney Fantasy, a ship that none of us had been on! Fantasy is stunning and having first hand knowledge of the ship is so important. Now I just need to step foot on Disney Dream and I’ll have been on all ships in the fleet.

✨A trip to Walt Disney World cannot be all business, no play… so to surprise my team, I coordinated a VIP Tour (and to think they thought we were simply doing a 4 Park Challenge without advance booking Lightning Lanes!). 🌟 WOW, WOW, WOW. White glove VIP service hitting up all 4 parks in one day? The value was apparent very quickly and I cannot recommend VIP Tours enough if budget allows.

If you want to learn about any of these experiences in detail, comment below and I’ll share more fun intel!

Here are some photos to enjoy!
