Time to address the elephant in the room, and I say elephant because, well, they’re HUGE.

Let me put this as gently as I can, with a sprinkle of humor: please, please, pretty please, don’t ask me to price match Costco. Or to throw in an onboard credit the size of Costco’s warehouse aisles. Costco is a trillion-dollar company, my friends. Spoiler alert: I am not a trillion-dollar company. Not even close.

Also, fun fact: most of the nice folks answering the phones at Costco Travel have probably never set foot on a cruise ship. So if something goes wrong with your dream vacation, I wouldn’t bank on them being much help. Their expertise likely ends somewhere around “Welcome to Costco, we love you.”

Now, if you’re determined to snag that $100 Costco gift card so you can stock up on enough toilet paper to survive the apocalypse, that’s fine. But don’t hit me up for a quote just so I can match their deal. Because here’s the thing: when you’re sitting there with all that toilet paper, ready to board your cruise, only to discover you needed your birth certificate (that Costco conveniently forgot to mention), and your $10,000 vacation vanishes into thin air … or the stateroom they booked for you is right underneath the late night dance club so every night you get to fall asleep to the sounds of “thump, thump, thump” …. that $100 gift card is going to feel a little less exciting, isn’t it?

Booking with a Travel Agent like me isn’t just about price—it’s about peace of mind. And trust me, peace of mind is worth a lot more than a bulk pack of TP.

🏆Help me grow my business and win!!!🏆

It’s a new year - time to try something new! I’ve been helping all of my fabulous clients book amazing vacations for over 11 years now and we all know how important word of mouth is to growing a business! 📣 I have some big goals for myself this year, and I would love your help!

It’s easy!! For every referral you give me, you get one entry to win a $100 Visa gift card. 🤑 If that person books a trip, you get FIVE additional entries. All you have to do is send me a quick email 📧 or message with the person’s name that you referred and I will keep track when they reach out. I will do one drawing for each quarter of 2025. The first drawing will be the first week of April for all referrals January 1 - March 31.

The more people you refer, the more entries you get, and the better your chance of winning! 🏆And you don’t need to have booked a trip with me to win - I appreciate any referrals, whether or not you’ve booked through me in the past! So when any of your neighbors, coworkers, friends, family members, people in line around you at the grocery store - anyone - says they’re looking to book a trip, tell them to contact me and if they do, you get a chance to win!

Remember, although my true love is Disney and it will always hold a special place in my heart, that’s not the only destination I book! So please keep me in mind (and refer me) for other destinations as well!

Goodnight Disney Treasure! See you again soon!

I had a chance to sneak into the Haunted Mansion Parlor today while it was closed and got some pictures. I absolutely loved hanging out in here! The drinks were fun, but the atmosphere was to “die” for!

Last dinner on the ship. It’s been an amazing trip!

01/10/2025

Our last full day on the ship, we stopped at Castaway Cay! The weather is beautiful, the sand is soft - the water is a little chilly, but refreshing after laying in the sun for a while!

Today was our first stop - Tortola, B.V.I. We weren’t sure of the water temperature this time of year, so we opted for a non-swimming excursion: zip lining! I am TERRIFIED of heights, but we’ll do anything for our kids, right?! It ended up being so much fun and actually more relaxing than scary.

You can tell how beautiful and detailed the Disney Treasure is, but for an even more in-depth look at the Imagineering of the ship, I highly recommend signing up for one of the complimentary tours of the ship once you’re onboard. A wonderful Disney guide will show you around and point out things you might not notice on your own.

For example: Can anyone guess what the “718” means on the Periscope Pub sign?

Dinner tonight was at Plaza de Coco which is actually a dinner show. We saw Miguel and his family, listened to some music, and enjoyed some great Mexican food.

01/06/2025

Since today was a day at sea, we enjoyed some time in the Rainforest Room at the Senses Spa onboard the ship. Only 18+ are allowed in the Rainforest to enjoy the sauna, steam room, cold room, whirlpool bath tubs, showers, heated loungers, and relaxing swinging couch beds - perfect for an afternoon nap!

Surprises around every corner! I met Don “Ducky” Williams - the artist responsible for Donald Duck plus so much more for the last 37 years! He also designed the artwork for Tony’s Town Square Restaurant at the Magic Kingdom. And those big Mickey and Minnie cut outs when you cross onto Walt Disney World property (I posted them a few days ago) - those are his too! I’m in awe!! 😮🥹🥰

Last night was dinner at Worlds of Marvel. They did a show with lots of familiar Avenger faces, but mostly Ant-Man and The Wasp. At the end a surprise guest “swung” in.

01/06/2025

No need to worry about missing the big game on a cruise - you can watch in your stateroom, in the Pub, or some games are even shown on the Funnel Vision on the pool deck!
