Our consultant Nikki and her family had an incredible time soaking in the holiday magic of New York City! Staying at M Social Times Square was a perfect choice for being immersed in all of the action. From iconic holiday activities like the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and the Balloon Inflation event in Central Park to festive stops like the Radio City Christmas Spectacular with the Rockettes, they covered so many must-do experiences.

Their dining itinerary was spot on for embracing New York's culinary variety—Lillie's for the cozy Christmas vibes, Junior’s for a cheesecake fix, and Carmine’s for a family-style Italian twist on Thanksgiving. The visit to Serendipity 3 for hot chocolate and grabbing pizza at Chelsea Market added the perfect mix of classic and unique NYC flavors.

Shopping at FAO Schwarz, Macy's, and Bryant Park's Winter Village was the perfect way to round out their festive NYC adventure! FAO Schwarz is such a magical destination, especially for families—it brings out the inner child in everyone. Macy's, with its iconic holiday windows and decorations, is always a must-see during Thanksgiving, and Bryant Park's Winter Village offers a charming mix of unique holiday shops and festive treats.

These shopping stops, combined with visiting the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree, certainly added that extra sparkle to an already magical holiday getaway. Nikki’s family had an unforgettable Thanksgiving in the city!

Lyft was less expensive than Uber for Nikki's family. This is just a little reminder that any of our consultants are here to research these little tips for you!

Here is Jen's review of her recent sailing.

Disney Cruise Line is truly one of the best vacation experiences for guests of all ages. My family, with sailors ranging from ages 4 to 74, some first time cruisers, just returned from a 3 night Bahamian sailing on the Disney Wish.
From the fantastic Broadway style live shows, to the delicious meals, including room service, and everything in between, the entire experience was amazing.
Disney Cruise Line offers something for everyone. Adults can enjoy the adult only areas on the ship and some adult only entertainment and lounge experiences, while the kids have access to the kids and teen clubs where they can participate in all kinds of fun activities and meet new friends. Parents know the kids are safely enjoying activities with their peers while they get some time to relax, perhaps taking advantage of some time on the spa (spa services available at an additional cost), or just relaxing by the pool. Together, the whole crew can take advantage of family based activities and games, dance parties, character meets, movies by the pool, and so much more.
The theming, entertainment, and quality of Disney ships is unmatched and we can't wait for our next Disney Cruise Line adventure.
