Goofy Getaways - Noddea Skidmore

Goofy Getaways - Noddea Skidmore I'm here to share the magic of Disney Parks with you, and get you ready to travel to your favorite Disney destination or ANYwhere you may like to go!

From Grand Rapids, Michigan… I’m Noddea! Disney parks have had a piece of my heart since age four when I was perched on the shoulders of my dad as the parade made its way down the Magic Kingdom’s Main Street USA on Christmas morning. I truly fell in love with the magic of Walt Disney World when serving as a consultant for my sorority and spending a few months stationed at Rollins College near Orla

ndo. The close proximity of the parks meant nothing could keep me away… I even did a conference call on my flip phone from the parade route at Hollywood Studios (then Disney-MGM)! Here in West Michigan I’ve worked in theatre administration and event production, and I’m an active volunteer in my community as a musical theatre performer. I love blending my love for theatre and Disney by teaming up for Disney Trivia and Disney Nostalgia nights with friends, as well as crafting custom ears to wear on my WDW trips. Considering my passion for the arts, it’s no surprise that my favorite Disney parks activities are live performances, shows, and cavalcades! My husband is in the restaurant business, so I’m also way into food… and I can talk for hours about my favorite Disney dining experiences, meals, snacks, and beverages. As much as I love my experiences as a Disney guest, I think planning a Disney getaway is half the fun! I’m an Enneagram 2 - also known as “The Helper”… so what does that mean for you? It means that I am here to serve, support, and cheer you on as we book your vacation to Walt Disney World or anywhere else you may like to go! This, combined with my experience in event production and customer service, sets you up to make incredible memories with your fellow travel companions, whether that be your family, your pals, or your significant other. I believe that Disney is a magical place for all, so I welcome clients of all backgrounds, and I’m delighted to work with LGBTQ+ travelers. My services aren’t just for Disney first-timers. Even if you’ve traveled to Disney plenty of times, allow me to assist you in your journey. **Did you know that when you book a vacation package with me, it’s FREE?** So why not lean on me to plan your resort stay, your dining, park reservations, and more… whether you’re a Disney newbie or an annual visitor. Maybe you’re more like me and just want the bare minimum and help so you can choose your own adventure, and that’s okay, too. When you choose me as your Travel Advisor, I’ve got the pixie dust tips… I’ll teach you how to pack the ultimate park day backpack AND give you advice that may help you score that sought-after boarding pass for Rise of the Resistance in Galaxy’s Edge. Contact me today for your no-obligation quote. And, I invite you to give me a follow on social media, too, where I’ll keep you up to date with all of the latest Disney news and entertain you with a little Disney nostalgia, too. Let’s make some magic through Goofy Getaways!

HAPPY NATIONAL POPCORN DAY! One of my favorite speciality treats and gifts to myself at Walt Disney World is a Premium Souvenir Popcorn Bucket. These buckets can be purchased with popcorn and pricing that usually ranges between $18-$25 depending on the bucket. However, you can bring your bucket for a refill at any popcorn stand at Walt Disney World Parks and Disney Springs for less than $3!
Premium buckets may be seasonal, festival-specific, or be influenced by the park that they were purchased at! For example, my personal favorite in my collection is a Toy Story Alien that I got from Hollywood Studios. Simba, picture here with my friend and client Mary Kate, was found in Animal Kingdom! And of course, standard buckets are available at Walt Disney World year round and range between $14-$16.

Do YOU have a favorite bucket in your collection?

A SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT TO KICK OFF THE YEAR: I'm thrilled to share that I've accepted a promotion with Goofy Getaways as Director of Marketing! (To my theatre community - exhale, friends - I'm still at Grand Rapids Civic Theatre and nothing has changed there!!)

It's been my pleasure to serve as a Team Manager since 2022 and while it's bittersweet for me to take off that pair of ears in exchange for this new set, it's going to be a tremendously cool adventure for me. I'll get to honor and build upon the awesome brand that Kayla created for us, as well as work alongside the also recently promoted VP of Communications and Development Amy Fisher and under the direct supervision of my friend and Goofy Getaways CEO Amy Blades! I'll have the opportunity to work on strategy and experiences, help strengthen our agency, and show everyone who is a part of Goofy Getaways and experiences our services who we are and why we're special. THANK YOU to my amazing team of agents that I've had the pleasure to spend 2024 with, and to my longtime supervisor Greg.

On this Christmas Eve, I want to wish each and every one of you the happiest holiday season. It’s my honor to be your consultant, team manager, and friend. 🎄❄️❤️🎅🏽

Thanksgiving is a great day to start talking about your next trip! In fact - it makes a great holiday gift!

So often I’ll hear from folks *after* they’ve traveled or shared they’re taking a trip “Oh! I didn’t realize that you did more than Disney!” - it’s true! While my heart beats true for the Mouse, not only do I book other destinations, I’m also certified to help you plan the best trip possible with many others. My certifications include:

Vigin Voyages,
Universal Studios Florida,
Universal Studios Hollywood,
Royal Caribbean Cruise Line,
and Sandals and Beaches Resorts,
… in addition to Disney Destinations like Disney Cruise Line, Aulani: a Disney Resort & Spa in Ko Olina Hawaii, Adventures by Disney, National Geographic Expeditions, as well as Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, and Disneyland Resort in California! Plus, I book a variety of all-inclusive resorts and Norwegian Cruise Line, as well, and even Disneyland Paris!

Many people don’t realize that when they work with a travel consultant like me, they’re not paying more to book their packages; vendors like the brands mentioned above have a built-in commission right there in the price tag already… so either the vendor/brand absorbs that back themselves… or it gets passed along to those of us who book your destination and help you plan your trip (which can vary from just a little to a whole lot - depending on your needs!). Think of it like buying new jeans in the store: you don’t pay more at check-out because someone helped you - but that person who offered to grab you a different style or size may benefit, just like me!

The next time you’re planning on taking a trip or creating a travel based experience, it would mean a lot to me if you reach out! I have big goals to reach with !

It's National Pasta Day!
Here are three places to enjoy one of my favorite foods at Walt Disney World:

* Marie and Enzo's in Disney Springs: Immerse yourself in the golden age of air travel when you savor authentic Italian cuisine in this beautiful trattoria. My favorite memory of eating here was the night before my first runDisney race!
* Tony's Town Square at Magic Kingdom: This is no ordinary Italian restaurant... it's where Lady and the Tramp had their first kiss, and you'll find touches of this adorable pair everywhere. The first time I dined here I bumped into Bruce Willis and Demi Moore in the '90s! It got a recent menu upgrade and I loved my dinners here before a race, as well as on the night of Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party.
* Trattoria al Forno at Disney's Boardwalk: Savor Old World favorites in this cozy and comfortable environment; I enjoyed my first meal here with the our Goofy Getaways owner Amy and her family.

Are you a pasta fan?
