I use my knowledge and experience to help others have magical vacations at Disney and Universal.
In honor of Earth Day, Animal Kingdom’s birthday, and Memory Maker Monday, I give you this photo! Peep the toddler hand holding mine at the bottom. We were done by this point. My toddler was having his second melt-down, we were hungry and hot, and me? I was a bit emotional. So great! I just remember how understanding the photopass photographer was. And she did the best with what we had going on at the moment! Bless her!
Yay! I can’t wait for this little family to experience Disney together! It’s going to be such an awesome trip!
It feels like cheating but it also just feels so good!
The B family has kindly allowed me to book another Viking cruise with them! So excited for their summertime European adventure on the Rhine seeing Amsterdam and other fabulous locations!
Who is your favorite not-so-happy haunt?
The Haunted Mansion is one of my favorite rides in all of Disney World. It’s a classic! And the cast of ghostly characters is just so wonderful! I think I’m going to make my vote for the Hatbox ghost, though. He’s just so cool! And the imagineering behind his creation is incredible! I just love the Disney magic that surrounds him.
I love Haunted Mansion so much that I vividly remember the trips I didn’t get to go on it, and now my kids love it too! I’m so bummed Disneyland’s version is still in refurbishment/working on the queue. We’re going to miss it again! Oh well, guess we will just have to book another trip!

I almost forgot Memory Maker Monday!
How could I? I dunno I kinda forgot what day it was. Anyone else have one of those days?!
It’s time for the mountains to face off!
Which is your coaster of choice? Is it the wildest ride in the wilderness or a trip into tomorrow?
I seriously don’t know how to choose between these two madams of chaos. They’re so nostalgic but also…painful sometimes. But I think I’m going to go with:
…Space Mountan! No. Thunder mountain! No…wait…oh gosh I really can’t decide!
Memory Maker Monday: hugs from your best pals!
There’s nothing like being swallowed up in an enormous hug from your favorite Disney characters! I wish I was small enough to still get buried in their chests and tummies, it just feels so right!
Who do you think gives the best hugs?
Must book a non-discounted 4-night, 4-day stay or longer with the Park Hopper option.
Talk about one less thing to budget for on your vacation! I love a good dining discount!
And you know what else? I have the resources to help you maximize the use of your dining plan like a pro! When you book this package and promo with me, ALL my knowledge and expertise becomes yours to access whenever, wherever!
Let’s get planning now!
*offer subject to room type and availability and may change at any time*
March was a success y’all! God blessed me immensely with my bookings last month and I’m frankly still riding on that high! A look at what I booked last month:
🎡 Disneyland - Pixar Place x2
🎇 Disneyland - Disneyland Hotel
🎥 Universal Studios Hollywood
🏰 Disney World 4 Park Magic Tickets
🌊 Condo in South Padre
Like what?! Excuse me?! Gotta pat myself on the back and send up big thanks to the big Man because without Him, I guarantee none of this would have happened!
On to April! This month I’m focusing on nurturing the clients I currently have as well as doing work on the behind the scenes portion of my business. I’m also going to be busy game-planning our family trip and figuring out how to share those details with you! Stay tuned for all the fun coming up this month!
Toy Story vs Toy Story?!
You bet! Love that Buzz, Woody, and the gang have found their way into both coasts and 4 parks! (Not to mention overseas!) It’s no secret that I love Pixar, and Toy Story is a special part of that love!
So which do I prefer/think is better? Midway Mania. I think the format is a little more satisfying watching rings and darts hit their marks. So cute! What do you think?
Hope y’all had the most wonderful Easter weekend! We had a busy day with church and grandparents yesterday. I’m so thankful for my family, friends, and church and especially Jesus!
Hallelujah, praise the One who set me free!
Hallelujah, death has lost its grip on me!
You have broken every chain,
There’s salvation in your name,
Jesus Christ, my living hope.
Happy Easter! He is risen! The tomb is empty!
*this promotion is subject to room type and availability*
The best way to make sure you get the best deal? As always, book with your travel agent (aka ME!).
Want to get started? It’s as easy as sliding into my DMs.
Oh and to the Disney Visa folks out there…that resort credit? It’s $150. 👀🤯
I know my answer. Only because it is hands down my favorite restaurant in Disney World.
So which do you choose? The exceptional buffet experience of cultural and culinary magic at Animal Kingdom Lodge or the character dining buffet in Animal Kingdom? Or do you prefer something else? Let me know!
Also, if my preference wasn’t obvious…it’s Boma. I pick Boma.
And now a look at some of my favorite family photos from Epcot. I’ve got so many fun pictures from Epcot to share but today you’ll just have to be happy with these two! Happy memory maker, Monday, everyone!
Alright y’all, it’s coast vs coast, galaxy vs galaxy! What is the better ride featuring our favorite rag-tag group of space criminals-turned-heroes?
Both offer unpredictability and excellent music! Both are their own unique experiences! And both absolutely, without a doubt, ROCK!
I definitely think Mission Breakout is better than California Adventure’s Tower of Terror was. Way more fun now! Definitely difficult picking a favorite Guardians of the Galaxy ride.
Today’s Memory Maker Monday features my big ol b***y. Is there a cute way to get a high from Disney characters when you’re on the tall side? I mean, I don’t mind the b***y pic but I don’t know how cute the photo as a whole is?
Well what do you know?! Those summer promos just dropped for ticket-only packages!
This promo is for April 2-September 22, 2024. You may only attend one park each day. Meaning you can’t visit Epcot two days. Because these are debased tickets and designated for one park each day you will not need any park reservations. Considering that the typical park ticket starts at $109, this can save you quite a bit of money.
*these are starting prices and may not be this price on your selected dates*
As your agent, I can find you the dates when ticket prices are $89 or $99 to save you the MOST MONEY on your Disney trip!
It’s the age-old question: Disneyland or Disney World? I don’t mean the castle, I mean as a whole?
Two years ago I’d say Disney World, and I’d say it vehemently, without a second thought. But now, I’m not so sure. Disneyland has A LOT to offer!
What are your thoughts?
Today I bring you Memory Maker Monday!
This series is so awesome, my toddler was finally figuring out how to get his picture taken and may have followed direction too well! But I love these pictures so much.
This family isn’t just any family, it’s MINE! I’m so excited for this trip, because it’s honestly a dream come true. I didn’t think I’d get the chance to ever stay in one of the Disneyland Resort hotels, or get to take my 2 year old to Disney one more time while he’s still free.
Not only will we be in Disneyland (which is quickly becoming my favorite Disney destination), but we’ll also be surrounded by all the Pixar characters we love! I cannot wait!!!
So many ways to eat at Disney!
Make sure you’re following along because on Fridays, I’m breaking down all the dining fun facts in each episode so you can dine at Disney like a pro!
I don’t know how it happened but all of a sudden I realized I have booked more the $50,000 in travel for my clients! Some went to Disney World, some Disneyland, and some completely other places! Thank you so much for trusting me with your travel dreams, I could not do it without my lovely clients!
I promise I’ll stop talking about cinnamon rolls eventually. But can you humor me one last time? What is your cinnamon sweet pastry preference?
I think I’d honestly pick Gaston’s cinnamon roll, purely for the environment and pairing it with the coffee and a lefou’s brew. But wait…I like love animal kingdom and people watching with a cinnamon roll in the Africa square. HOW DO I CHOOOOOOSE?!
Congratulations to the C family! Experiencing the magic of Disneyland with the whole family is just the best! I’ve been a Disney World girl my whole life, but there’s something to Walt’s original park and the walkability from Disneyland and California Adventure. Some of my favorite Disney parks things are in the California parks, like Radiator Springs and Disneyland’s it’s A Small World!
Are you team Disneyland or team Disney World?
This family is ALSO spending some time with the stars in Universal Studios Hollywood! We chose the Hilton that is once again, steps away from the entrances to City Walk and Universal Studios. So excited for them to wake up to views of Hogwarts! 🤩
I’m so jealous of this family getting to experience Pixar in every little corner of this newly renovated hotel!
I am such a Pixar fan, and some of my favorite movies are Pixar movies! I hope this family has the best time being truly immersed in the magic that’s only a stone’s throw from the parks!
I decided to put my goals IN WRITING so I can look back at the end of this month and see what and if I accomplished this list.
And to be honest, I’m about to already check one of these off, but you’ll have to stay tuned to see it! 💪
Do you put your business goals in writing so you can see how much you grow? I haven’t been, but I think I’ll feel so strong if I do. Also accountability helps me a ton and now y’all can keep me accountable! 👏go team👏
Flower and Garden Festival flashback post! This fest gets better and better every year and I LOVE IT!
So much color from nature combined with the man-made beauty of Epcot is just a 10/10 experience. You’ve gotta try it at least once!
Oh and now you can start planning for next year’s festival since Disney’s books have opened all the way to October 2025!
Comment with a 🌸 if you’re ready for some topiary action with Minnie and Mickey! That sounds weird….sorry. 🤷♀️
Can you name the character or movie this quote is from?
I was just jamming to Disney songs coming home from school, as one does, and this line stood out to me. Also the beehive one. Which I will post at a later time. But I know I am so guilty of getting caught up with wanting what I don’t have instead of appreciating what I do have. I’m trying to change but it’s a hard habit to break in this consumer culture!

Magic Mail Monday! A shirt and a boat load of earrings coming at you so prepare to be awed! I’m so excited to show you the outfits I put together with these, so be looking out for that! They’re going to be so great on my Disneyland Trip!!! Earrings: @lunaandco.18 Shirt: @makersofmagicandwishes #disneystyle #custom #earrings #tshirts #disneyaccessories #disneyadult #shopsmall
You probably know this already, but if you don’t, Disney is kind of my jam. And if I could go every day? Shoooooot, that would be incredible. But I can’t go every day so I spend every day helping other families get to Disney. It’s a passion and a dream I’m making come true! I don’t care what your budget is, $1,000-$8,000, I want to help you get to Disney! There’s nothing like the magic of a mirror turning into a doorway, or an entire room disappearing while you’re standing in it! There’s nothing like having a conversation with Cinderella about the design of her dress and how it’s two C’s for Charming and Cinderella. Or talking with Belle about her favorite stories! Does this sound like your kind of dream come true, leave a comment or send me a message so we can start making it happen! #disney #dream #dreamscometrue #disneyparks #travelagent #disneytips #disneyhacks #travel #familytrip #vacation #familyvacation
Y’all…I can’t with Test Track. And it’s honestly Radiator Springs Racers fault. Like it feels wrong to cheat on that slice of amazing with this…whatever it is. It’s fine, it goes zoom zoom. That’s cool, I’d rather spend all my time and money on Cosmic Rewind though haha! Is this a smash or pass for you? #epcot #testtrack #smashorpass #unpopularopinon #disneyrides #disneyparks
Magic mail! Today I’ve got some cute headbands from @1953designs and a Mystery swing dress from @ambrieclothing Can’t wait to show you what I have in mind for these later! #magicmail #happymail #disney #disneymail #disneyadult
I get confused when I think about it too hard! Photo-pass is essentially the photos that are taken of you in the park by photo-pass photographers, ride photos, or those weird auto-camera things. You can purchase these pictures individually without buying all of them. OR you can pre-pay for any and all of the pictures taken of you and your travel party through Memory Maker. since we’re adding plus on everything anyway, we might as well go ahead and do it with Photo-pass! Also, can we please have photo-pass+/memory maker included for guests staying on resort property? Thoughts? Questions? Concerns? #photopass #disney #disneyparks #hottake #opinion #goodidea #memorymaker #disneytips
He’s checking wait times more than me at this point! “Webs” by the way, is the Web Slingers Spider-man ride at Disneyland, by the way! How’s your partner’s conversion to the Disney fan-club going? #spouses #disneyadult #disneyland #spiderman #webslingers
What are you waiting for?! Working with me to plan your ultimate dream Disney vacation is free! Just imagine waking up on the first day of your Disney trip knowing you’re in the perfect resort for your family. Knowing you are about to have a yummy breakfast buffet with Mickey Mouse and the gang. And you didn’t have to wake up at five to make that reservation, I took care of it for you! Sounds pretty magical huh?! #disney #familyvacation #summeriscoming #travel #disneytrip #traveltips #disneytips
And then being presented with this dismaying observation: the room has no windows and no doors. Which offers them this chilling challenge: to find a way out! Of course…there’s always my way… 💀🪦 If you basically said this along with me, then you’re my people and we should be friends! If you’re the first timer, then let’s get in touch so you don’t feel like one on your next trip! #disney #foryou #fyp #viral

Take a moment and a deep breath in this quiet moment at Animal Kingdom Lodge. Fun fact about me: this is my favorite deluxe resort. It’s such a unique experience compared to the other resorts! You really feel like you’re on a safari vacation with animals and authentic African artwork all around you. Fun fact 2: DAKL has the largest collection of authentic African artwork outside of the continent of Africa! It’s truly a sight to behold, so even if you don’t stay here you need to go check it out! Have you stayed here? DO YOU WANT TO STAY HERE?! #animalkingdomlodge #disneyresort #deluxeresort #travel #traveltips
Do you love character dining? I know it can sometimes feel like a pricey meal, but how else are you going to get this quality time with some of your favorite characters! We dined at Cape May with Minnie and the bunch in September and it was such a delightful experience. The food was tasty, we saw every character multiple times, and the kids were fed and entertained! Even as an adult, I always feel the need to have one character meal per trip. It just makes me feel like a kid again and I love that one-on-one time with my pals! This was our first time at Cape May, and I’d definitely do it again. I have a few more spots to re-experience as an adult (looking at you 1900 Park Faire), so I guess it’s time to plan another trip! We currently have reservations for Storyteller’s brunch during our Disneyland trip and I can’t wait to share that with you! #characterdining #disneydining #brunch #buffet #traveltips
I will never take my kids to Disney during spring break. I refuse! Maybe when they’re older and can handle crowds and rides? I’ll go on an adults trip maybe?

My services are free and I’ll give you all the tips of how to handle even the busiest times of year at Disney! #disney #travel #themepark #disneyadult #springbreak #disneyparks #disneytips
I checked in to AKL about to hop a bus to MK because I have a ILL and VQ for Tron with a LL for 7DMT but I need to stop at a QS for a snack before I PH to HS and do RoR and ToT.

If you want to do Disney like a pro, just give me a shout and I’ll be your guide to this magical world of acronyms and abbreviations. #disneylingo #disney #disneyadult #traveltips #viral
Add rider switch on to that and I mean, there is no better day! VQ: virtual queue ILL: individual lightning lane Rider switch/swap: you have a member of your party who is too young to ride so parts of your party take turns riding. #disney #foryou #fyp #viral

Today he definitely took it easy on me but I still had a proud Disney Adult moment! #disneyaddict #disneyadult #disneyhumor #disney #disneymusic #disneymovie #tarzan #trashinthecamp

BUT if you put down your $200 now, it will secure your package before that happens.

Remember your $200 is completely refundable and my planning services are free! i’ll monitor for future promotions to apply to your package to save you more money!
