⏯️Game Time! Want to play? “MCV Agent Training Trip”

⏰Saturday morning - Since we arrived at Universal in Orlando so very early, we had time to hit the parks before meeting our Universal BDM for lunch!

🚨Here’s the game: We did 4 of the 5 shown below. Can you guess which one we DIDN’T do before the answer is revealed? I’ll rule them out “trivia” style in the comments. 🤩

TIP - Arriving before your room is ready? Luggage Services will hold your bags while you go play!

Clockwise from top left: Revenge of the Mummy, Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts, Illumination’s Villain-Con Minion Blast, Gringotts Money Exchange and Butterbeer.

🎬THE TRIP BEGINS: The 5:50 am flight always sounds like a great idea. Get to Orlando early and hit the ground running, right? Except when you live 2 hours from the airport. I choose a “park and fly” hotel and drove up the evening before. Waking up super early and a quick shuttle to the airport, beats waking up in the middle of the night and driving 2 hours to the airport. And depending on how long your trip is the “park and fly” rate can be a great value. Plus the weather was horrible and I didn’t want to take any chances on missing my flight!

TIP - There are a lot of reasons to add a hotel stay at the beginning or end of a trip. As your Travel Advisor, I’ll help you decide if it makes sense for you!

🛬 👋 I’m back and mostly recovered from my recent Orlando trip and I’m ready to share! My first three days were full of learning-packed fun as a Magical Compass Vacations Travel Advisor. We covered Universal Studios, Walt Disney World and Sandals/Beaches All-Inclusive Resorts.

😎Then I stayed for five additional nights of fun at Walt Disney World, where my cousin from CA joined me for a “girl’s reunion”. I love meeting people for “reunion-cations”! (That’s what I’m calling them. I think it’ll catch on.)

*Who do you want to meet for some quality catching-up and making-memories time?

TIP - Follow along as I post highlights. You may learn something. You may decide you want a vacation. You may decide where to go for that vacation. And there may be some surprises along the way!

Where are you going this year?

People often contact me to get discounts or better deals than what they can find on websites.... but here's the real reason guests book & continue to book with me:

✨Instead of an 800 number -- you have my number

✨Instead of waiting on hold to ask questions -- you can ask me

✨Instead of being overwhelmed by all the options online -- you have me to find options that best fit your family vibe

✨Instead of doing countless hours of research on resorts & vacation spots -- you have me to make reputable recommendations

✨Instead of only supporting huge corporations -- you're supporting a small business, wife & mom.
Don't miss out on the opportunity to work with me on planning your next vacation 🫶🏼
