Happy New Year from my family to yours! 💫

I wanted to let you know I am so grateful for all of my guests and for those who refer people to me! It’s the best compliment I could ever receive and a huge part of my business. 🥰

I hit a huge goal in 2024 thanks to all of you and I’m forever thankful for y’all for making it happen! 🥳🤩

I have been missing from here because I’ve been busy helping my guests during this busy travel season!

My daughters were all born during the holiday season so that has also kept me busy too! 🦃🎉

I wish you all an amazing year ahead and hope to help you get to all those amazing destinations on your travel list!🧳

🚨A third Lightning Lane option is coming to Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World!

Lightning Lane Premier Pass starts later this month and will be available in very limited quantities. It will allow guests access to all Lightning Lane attractions one-time per guest, in the park they are visiting that day, without having to select an experience time! You just show up and get in the Lightning Lane! 😎

At Disneyland you will be able to purchase Lightning Lane Premier Pass 2 days prior to your park reservation beginning October 23, 2024. You will be able to use this pass at both Disneyland Resort Parks! 🎢 🏰

At Walt Disney World guests staying at Disney Deluxe & Disney Deluxe Villa Resorts will be able to purchase a Lightning Lane Premier Pass 7 days prior to arrival beginning October 30, 2024. This pass will not be available for park hopping at Walt Disney World at this time. 🏰

Did you know Disney can take you to other places besides theme parks? 🌎

I’m still dreaming about our British Isles cruise with Disney Cruise Line! It was a great way to get a little tasting of some places I’ve always wanted to visit and now I’m ready to head back to spend more time and to explore more! 🧭

We spent 2 nights in London Pre-Cruise (did you know there is an Adventure’s by Disney for that?!) Then 7 nights on board Disney Dream traveling to Greenock, Liverpool, Cobh, Portland and got 2 relaxing days at Sea!

If you’re ready to see some other parts of the world either with Disney or on your own I’d love to help you plan it! ✈️🌎

✨️HUGE GENIE+ NEWS!!✨️
So much information below, and this is why we are here for our guests!! Read all details below carefully!

Plan Ahead with Lightning Lane Entry at Walt Disney World Starting July 24!!!

On July 24, Walt Disney World will introduce new, simpler names to provide more clarity for everyone. Disney Genie+ service will become Lightning Lane Multi Pass, while individual Lightning Lane will now be known as Lightning Lane Single Pass.

We will also be updating Lightning Lane passes to help guests:

✔️Make Lightning Lane plans before you’re here, for added confidence.
✔️Choose your experiences and times prior to purchasing, so you know what you’re getting.
✔️Book Lightning Lane passes for multiple vacation days, all in a single day.

🤣Here’s how Lightning Lane passes will work beginning July 24.✨️

🏰 Lightning Lane Multi Pass
When guests purchase Lightning Lane Multi Pass, they may make up to 3 Lightning Lane selections in a theme park, in advance of your visit. They’ll also be able to choose available times as they make their selections. On the day of their visit, once they use a selection, they may check the My Disney Experience app for availability to make an additional selection.

🏰 Lightning Lane Single Pass
Lightning Lane Single Pass will work much like it does today, where guests can secure a time to ride one of our most highly demanded attractions, but they’ll now be able to make their purchase and plan in advance.

🏰 How to Plan Ahead
Guests staying at a Disney Resort hotel and other select hotels (Shades of Green Resort, Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotels) will be able to plan Lightning Lane passes up to 7 days in advance, for their entire stay (up to 14 days). All other guests can plan up to 3 days in advance. These advance purchase windows will let guests secure some of their must-do rides and experiences after they've had some time to decide what dining reservations they want to book and any other plans they may need to consider.

It’s been a busy weekend! One of my sweet guests and her best friend are going on a European Adventure this summer!
I love getting to book new destinations for my guests.

Yes I can help with more than theme parks and ocean cruises 😉

These lovely ladies will be starting in Amsterdam with a Pre-Crusie stay booked with AmaWaterways. Then they will board AmaLucia and sail the Rhine Riverfor 7 nights. They finish in Switzerland with 2 nights in Lake Lucerne and 2 nights in Zurich!

We are finishing up plans for these besties to spend some time in Paris, London and Dublin after their Rhine River cruise, before making their way back home!

Have you experienced a River Cruise? AmaWaterways is at the top of my list - I love that they are a family owned company and their storytelling is amazing!

I couldn’t be happier for this family is sailing for the first time this summer! What a way to sail away for the first time on Disney Dream to France! 🇫🇷

Yes! Disney Cruise Line sails to destinations outside of the Bahamas & Caribbean! 🗺️

Whether you are sailing adults only or bringing kids along you will never be without something to do! The adult areas make it easy to relax and the kids clubs give a place for the kids to go and have some time away from the adults! There are activities for the whole family and events just for adults!

Two adult only specialty restaurants make date night or celebrating milestones extra special!
