As 2024 comes to a close, I take a moment to think back to the craziest thing I did this year. I decided to take a leap of faith and turn my passion for Disney into my own business where I help others have the most magical vacations possible. I get such joy in talking with other folks about their plans and I love answering their questions and I love helping them gameplan on having the best time. Along the way on this journey, I have also discovered that magical vacations can exist outside of Disney as well, leading to my desire to be the best resource possible for working with you on your vacation.

I've met some amazing people already on this journey and I'm excited to see what is on the horizon. 2025 is a year where I plan to build some momentum behind my travel aspirations and will continue to develop and learn even more.

For those of you who have booked trips with me so far, I truly thank you. Your support means the world to me and I hope to be a resource for you in the future. If you haven't booked travel with me yet, I'd love the opportunity to help you in the new year.

So here's to opportunity, good health, and good times for 2025! 🥳🎉

Why work with a travel advisor? 🤔

I have a friend who is going to be in Orlando next weekend, and her party was interested in going to Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando while they'll be in the area. This past weekend, I secured their park tickets for both destinations, and I had a two-hour conversation with her, answering all her questions and working with her to come up with a plan to get the most out of their time in the parks.

Well a couple of days later, she lets me know that one of her party members can't make it. Nothing to worry about! I worked with both Disney and Universal to move the party member's tickets to a different day, saving my friend the time and hassle of having to call in and worry about what to do.

When working with a dedicated travel advisor, you're not just getting someone to purchase everything for you and that's that. You're working with someone who cares about your trip and wants to make sure you'll have a good time. You're working with someone who wants to give you the best tips and advice in order to help you get the most out of your trip. You're working with someone who will be there for you when plans change and you need help. A dedicated travel advisor is like a good friend who always has your back, and that's the type of service I bring to my clients!

Happy birthday to the one who started it all, Walt Disney!

My favorite quote of his has got to be: "All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them."

Walt faced many challenges in his life as well as many failures. But he never lost sight of his dreams and worked nonstop to make them a reality. His determination to see his dreams come true no matter the obstacles is such an inspiration to me, especially as I continue to work on building my business and exploring my own dreams.

Walt may have believed it all started with a mouse, but the truth is we wouldn't have anything Disney if it wasn't for the man himself.

So with that, thanks for everything, Walt!
