Hopped on over to Epcot - the only WDW park with two entrances! I took a zig-zag route from one gate to the other, stopping to smell the roses at Epcot’s annual International Flower & Garden Festival. Amy Borden

At Park number 2!! I love that Disney incorporates lots of shade & even some cool misting features in the queues to help you escape from the Florida sun during wait times. (Unless that’s one of the Hollywood Tower Hotel occupants photobombing over my shoulder!) Amy Borden

Staying on WDW property has its perks, like accessing the parks before the general public. But being ahead of the crowds sometimes means you’re the lone target for a hangry Dinosaur!

Get ready for an epic adventure! Can I conquer all 4 WDW parks in one day? Stay tuned to find out!

Tell us where you want to go, and we can help you get there! Remember, anyone who books with either of us gets FREE on-board credit or Disney gift card!!
You know I do more than “just Disney”; right? I’m midway through my first sailing on a Virgin Voyages & have learned so much about why this might be your next vacation, especially if Disney isn’t your speed.
What makes Virgin different from other cruises? Well, at a quick glance:
*no one under 18 is aboard so no kiddos will be splashing you in the pool or running around like sugar-fuel demons while you’re relaxing
*a resident drag queen
*THE best food I’ve had on a cruise (cliffhanger: photos to come)
*ridiculously fun (optional) activities like a pajama party, beer pong tournaments, sip & paints, afternoon tea service.
*more discounts, packages, and FREE on board credit that you might feel pressured to spend all of your credit before the cruise is over!

Reason 3,402,379 why you should book your Disney trip: you no longer have to wear an uncomfortable necktie to meet your favorite Mouse!
(Also, Mickey & Minnie have definitely had some makeovers through the years to reflect more “fun family memories” vibes vs “inescapable nightmare fuel” icks.)
Not to mention I’ll find you the best available money-saving promotions (plus a gift card bonus as a thank you) for every paid-in-full travel package booked in 2023!
Thank you to my friend Colleen for letting me use her picture-of-a-(probably-haunted-)picture that she took when we went to the Disney 100 exhibit at the Franklin Institute in Philly recently. Highly recommended for an easy daytrip via Amtrak or a quick roadtrip if you’re interested!

⚠️PSA from your favorite Travel Advisor👋
📌If you know you want to travel over Spring break or even this Summer (March-August) start planning like...YESTERDAY. 😉
📌Pricing is up…everywhere. What you could get for $3k a few years ago is not available now; think about the price increase of everything else in your life and apply the same to travel. 🙃
📌”Deals” are harder and harder to come by. Resorts are booked and sold out, thus no need to offer "deals."
📌Availablity is already low for summer travel.
📌This is a busy season for our industry- so patience with our replies is SO appreciated!
📌If you use a travel advisor (even if it’s not me), please, please, please don’t waste our time looking up trips that you aren’t sure will ever happen.
**The internet is for looking; we’re here for advising and booking. I want to help everyone, but there aren’t enough hours in the day.
If you made it this far - you’re a ROCKSTAR, and I am grateful for you and your support. I really appreciate your business!! ❤️
I'm so excited to help so many clients, both repeat and new, plan the trip of their dreams. Let me help you! 🙂
