Things I often hear and read:

~ I can do a better job myself/ It's easier to do it myself.
~ Loss of control.
~ I can see all the possibilities for myself online.
~ I don’t need someone else’s input.
~ Costs more money.
~ Agents add no value.
These are what I see being said about using a travel agent.

Here are my responses:
👇👇👇👇👇

~Booking with a travel agent doesn't mean you can't plan the trip yourself.

~Again, it is YOUR vacation. You are in complete control.

~Yes, the internet has all the answers. But what you see and read on the internet isn't always true (shocker, I know).

~I don't need to give you my input if you don't want it. I'm just here to give you my professional and personal experience.

~Using me as your travel agent costs you NOTHING. FREE. Whenever you book a vacation there is a built in commission that you are going to pay no matter what. However when you book with me (a small business) the commission goes to me and not back to the big company that you are already paying for.

~My value to you is personal service, direct bookings, personal knowledge and experiences and convenience.

👀🐾 De Vil's Piano Lounge on the Disney Destiny 👀🐾

Cruella’s infamous flair for style and wickedly bold attitude will be reflected in the bar’s Hollywood Regency-inspired aesthetic, where everything will be adorned in her signature color palette of red, black and white. There will even be a glowing, fiber optic Cruella that appears and disappears in the wall behind an eye-catching spotted piano! And with one side of the lounge open to the Grand Hall, you will be able to sit back with a drink and a prime view of the ship’s premier gathering space.

🍸With a custom menu brimming with trendy martinis, chic cocktails, and glamorous wines and bubblies! It’ll be anything but “miserable darling” to wind down in style at De Vil’s.

This dessert spot is sure to be a hit with your family, with handmade gelato, ice cream, cookies, candies and specialty treats served in a space full of bolts of fabric and costume models.

🍽2 new casual walk up cafes:
🍴Café Megara, a space that will pay homage to Disney Animation’s “Hercules” with a unique and vibrant “Greco disco” design.

PSA 📢

HEY PARENTS!!

❤️From a parent of grown kids, take my advice.

❤️Travel.

❤️Travel with your kids no matter their age. Those memories are what they will have for their whole lives.
If they are too young to have memories those will be your memories!

❤️Disney was my family's vacation destination. It was/is where we could just be a family. My kids would show the most love and affection towards each other when in Disney. Because they were able to just be kids.

❤️They grow up in a blink of an eye. Remember to make memories.

Let's start your memory making journey!
Disney World, Disneyland, Aulani, Disney Cruise, ANY other cruise line, Beaches Resort or Universal. Let's talk!
