Tara with Second Story Travel

04/21/2025

I have some exciting travels coming up in the next few weeks that I can’t wait to share!!

Where is Second Story headed in the next month??

We've been invited to:

1. Preview Epic Universe on April 29th! Nine of our agents are going to spend the entire day playing in this new theme park, the first new theme park in the US since Disney California Adventure in 2001! I can't even imagine stepping into a theme park I am unfamiliar with. It gives me goosebumps just thinking about it!

2. Disneyland in CA! Disney invited two of our agents to experience the magic of Disney at a EarMarked Gold Program at Disneyland Resort! Cait & Danielle will have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience to increase their knowledge of Disneyland!

3. The Bahamas! One Second Story agent, Tara, is being hosted at a TA Appreciation Event at Sandals Royal Bahamian!

Our agency values our relationships, both with our clients and travel suppliers, and we don't take for granted these opportunities to learn & experience destinations. We are very grateful!

First hand experience can't be Googled & that's why we travel often, so you don’t just travel—you travel better.

Finally able to reflect on our amazing Utopia of the Seas trip!🚢

With so much to do on this ship, we somehow packed so much fun into just 3 short days.

My top highlights and must do’s when sailing on UTOPIA:
-Ultimate Abyss dry slide
-Laser Tag
-Nighttime entertainment (Aqua 80 Too and Youtopia Ice Spectacular)
-The Solarium (adults only area)
-Sexiest man competition (if you need a good laugh 😆)
-Central Park
-The Boardwalk carousel 🎠
-Silent disco toga party

This cruise is a great option for a short trip with a large group. We saw lots of bachelor and bachelorette parties as well as birthday celebrations and of course our girls agency trip!

If this sounds like what you’re looking for, then reach out to me and let’s get you sailing on the world‘s biggest weekend🚢🎉

✨Let’s talk split stays at Disney World ✨

Why choose one resort when you can experience two? 🏝️➡️🎠 A split stay is the perfect way to enjoy the best of both worlds. This is a good option if you want to stay Deluxe but it’s just not in the budget for your entire trip. Which is exactly what we did this time!

🏨 Resort 1: Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort🏝️– Moderate resort with Skyliner access to Epcot and Hollywood Studios.

🏨 Resort 2: Disney’s Boardwalk Resort🎠– Deluxe resort located on Disney’s boardwalk with walking paths and boat access to Epcot and Hollywood Studios.

🌟 Why I love split stays:
✔️ Two completely different resort themes & experiences 🎭
✔️ Easy luggage transfer (Disney moves it for you!) 🎒
✔️ Feels like two vacations in one ✌️

Which two Disney Resorts would you choose??
