☀️It’s time to escape the ordinary for unparalleled excitement and adventure.☀️

When you book a Royal Caribbean cruise this August, you’ll save more— like up to 60% off your second guest, and 30% off any additional guests. Bring the whole family too, because on select sailings, kids sail free!

Sandals Barbados is an all-inclusive, adult only resort that sits next to Sandals Royal Barbados so guests can stay at one but use both resorts!

📢WARNING: Sappy post ahead 📢

Something special happens when the ladies of PPV get together. We aren't just coworkers - we're friends, soul-sisters, and the kind of people who you feel like you've known forever.

We all care deeply for each other and bond over our shared passion for Disney and travel and it goes without saying, but we have the best time together. So many (SO MANY) laughs, some happy tears, inside jokes and just a great time with this crew!

Till next time, ladies 💖

✨As you may know, I was in the parks these past few days trying out the new Lightning Lane system with some of the other PPV advisors!✨

✨Doing this was really important to me because I know the families I plan for trust me to advise them with the most up to date information and technology.

✨With the new Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Single Pass, I love that you now have the ability to plan three attractions per park day, 7 days in advance (three days if you're staying off property). Now, you can know before you go on your trip that you have your first three already set for each park day!

✨This week we worked through modifying ride times in the parks, riders on those rides (if needed) and also looking more in that park or the next park (if you're planning on park hopping).

✨There was a team of 12 of us and we collaborated and brainstormed about how we can best guide our clients through this change and help set them up for success!

✨The fall and winter is a busy season and I am so glad I got the chance to try this new system before sending my clients over the next few months!

📢We go, so you know! 📢

And if you're still thinking of a Walt Disney World trip for Halloween and the holiday season, let's chat! ✨✨

I checked a major resort off my Disney bucket list! Yesterday we checked into Disney's Contempory Resort and it is absolutely INCREDIBLE (see what I did there 🤣).

The location can't be beat the newly renovated rooms are absolutely stunning. And check out that Theme Park view!

After enjoying the quiet pool last night, we grabbed some Mickey Bars and watched Happily Ever After from the balcony. Absolutely a core memory day ❤️

We also are staying in the Atruim Club Level so stay tuned for all those amazing details in another post!

Now, I'm going to grab some coffee and enjoy the view on our balcony before we set off to Epcot for the day!

07/26/2024

✨Tomorrow, bright and early, I'll be headed to Walt Disney World with some of Team PPV to check out the new updates to Lightning Lanes. Using and learning the new system live in person will help me be a better travel advisor for YOU!

There will of course be some serious team bonding time, because ain't no agency FAM like a PPV FAM!

We take our motto "We go, so you know" pretty seriously! Follow here and my Instagram for all the updates! ✨

Wow! What an exciting day so far! The new Lightning Lane System is up and running, and so far a BIG success! I was done getting a family set up with their Lightning Lane selections in minutes and got everything on their wish list!

Can’t wait to test it out in person in just a few days!

07/24/2024

Happy to say the new Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass was EASY PEASY this morning! I'm excited for the families I plan with to have the ability to make these plans before their trips - and for my own trips as well!

I'll be in Walt Disney World this weekend and the beginning of next week and can't wait to report back all these new updates!

Like Jen says in the video, "We go so you know." 💖

One of the most frequently asked question from the families I plan for is: "Should my family buy park hopper tickets for our Walt Disney World stay?"

Walt Disney World offers a base ticket option and a park hopper ticket option. A base ticket allows you to come and go from one park as often as you like each day. A park hopper allows you to come and go from all 4 theme parks each day.

A PARK HOPPER IS A GREAT OPTION IF...
✨ You only have 2 or 3 park days within your trip and you want to get a taste of all 4 parks
✨ You have a longer stay with 6 or more park days allowing that flexibility to come and go as you please you have been to the parks several times, know your must-dos and can navigate well between the parks
✨ You are staying at a resort close to one of the parks. For example, it is nice to easily hop to Epcot for dinner and fireworks when staying at an Epcot area resort.

IT'S BEST TO STICK TO ONE PARK A DAY IF…
✨ This is a first visit. There is so much to see and do within each park that it often you can't get it all in with just one day in each.
✨ You have young kiddos in the party...going from park to park in one day can be a lot on them and you!
✨ You like a vacation that feels less rushed.
✨ You have 4-5 days to spend in the parks. This is ideal because you get to visit each park once and then repeat a favorite park. My family always repeats Epcot because it really can take 2 days to get it all in!

If you are a Disney fan, or have a Disney vacation on the books, you have likely heard about the big changes headed our way this week. We are thrilled to bring back "advanced park planning with a twist". We are thinking of this like a modern day fast pass system bookable a week before travel, and it all goes live this week!

We have lots of families checking in this week before, during, and just after the new system goes live. We know change can be stressful. If you are booked with us, we have you covered! We have brand new resources created just for YOU!

Our goal is to support you as much as possible:
🔷 Keep the process simple- we want you to vacation, not work.
🔷 Provide high quality resources throughout the planning process.
🔷 Collect hands on experience- we go so you know!
🔷 Be your travel advocate from booking through travel!

Be sure to follow along as we share many updates LIVE from Walt Disney World later this week/weekend as we work first-hand with the new system in park! We are so excited!

🌴🍍 𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐃𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐖𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐃𝐚𝐲!🍍🌴

Today, we celebrate one of the most iconic and refreshing treats you can find at Disney parks—Dole Whip! If you haven’t had the chance to try this tropical delight, you’re in for a treat.

𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝘿𝙤𝙡𝙚 𝙒𝙝𝙞𝙥?
Dole Whip is a creamy, soft-serve frozen dessert made with real fruit juices and a dairy-free base, making it a refreshing and vegan-friendly option for all. Originally pineapple-flavored, this delectable treat has expanded into a variety of flavors over the years, including mango, orange, raspberry, lemon, and coconut.

𝘿𝙞𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙒𝙖𝙮𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙀𝙣𝙟𝙤𝙮 𝘿𝙤𝙡𝙚 𝙒𝙝𝙞𝙥
One of the best things about Dole Whip is the variety of ways you can enjoy it. Whether you prefer it plain and simple or with a fun twist, there’s a Dole Whip treat for everyone:

𝐅𝐥𝐨𝐚𝐭: My personal favorite, enjoy your Dole Whip as a float with juice or soda for an extra refreshing treat.

𝐒𝐰𝐢𝐫𝐥: Mix it up with a swirl, combining two flavors like pineapple and coconut for a delightful twist.

𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐧: Sometimes, the classic way is the best way. Plain Dole Whip is always a winner.

𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐥𝐜𝐨𝐡𝐨𝐥:For adults looking to indulge, some locations offer Dole Whip with a splash of rum or other spirits. It’s the perfect way to cool down and unwind!
So, whether you’re a Dole Whip newbie or a seasoned fan, make sure to grab one (or two) today and celebrate Dole Whip Day with us.

Share your favorite Dole Whip flavor in the comments and let me know where you love to enjoy this magical treat!

I've been getting a lot of requests & questions lately about Beaches Turks & Caicos, so let's break it all down!

Let me start by saying the options here are endless. You will find something fun to do for anyone in your group! All ages are going to have a blast!

🏊🏼‍♀️There are 10 pools, a 45,000 square foot waterpark( yes, you read that right!) a lazy river, 4 whirlpools & a pool just for scuba diving lessons.

🍛There are 19 restaurants, 14 bars, snacks available anytime for you or the kiddos. An premium liquor is unlimited (for us over 21).

🏖️Surrounding you is a 12 mile stretch of beach & turquoise water. You can go kayaking, paddle boarding, learn how to scuba dive or play pickleball.

👧🏽And, like all Beaches resorts you have Camp Sesame kid's camp with certified nannies.

Live shows for adults and kiddos, roundtrip airport transfers & don't forget it's all-inclusive so all tips, taxes & gratuities are included!

It's not a resort to be missed, that's for sure! Beautiful, so much to do & great for the WHOLE family! ☀️
