This t-shirt is my first clue! 🕵‍♂️

NEXT WEEK (😱) we will be having our Top Producers Retreat at Walt Disney World - an invite only event for agents who hit sales milestones through the previous calendar year.

A few weeks ago I received a package from our agency owners, and it said "Wear this to dinner Friday night"

Where in Animal Kingdom do you think we'll be having dinner??? 🤔

The whole retreat is a surprise and I cant stand it!! I was always the child that figured out what my Christmas presents were 😂

What I know so far...we will be starting out the retreat Friday evening with a dinner somewhere in Animal Kingdom and then Saturday morning we will be headed to EPCOT for a scavenger hunt throughout the park and a dinner! Other than that, everything, including all the details, have been sealed tight!! 🤐

What else do you think we'll be doing?? 🧐

I can’t wait to spend a fun weekend with some of my amazing friends, at my favorite place 🙌✨

Thanks to the best agency ever! ❤️💛🤎

Today is the first day that Tron is operating with a traditional queue. The current wait at 2:00pm EST is 60 minutes which is pretty reasonable. It definitely changes the way folks are going to rope drop the Magic Kingdom.

Are you excited about this change?

I LOVE the How to Train Your Dragon movies!! This looks so FUN!! Universal Orlando just shared details of the new How to Train Your Dragon - Isle of Berk land coming to Epic Universe next summer. It looks Unbelievable! 🐉 Within the land there are 3 attractions - including Hiccup’s Wing Glider coaster. There is also a Broadway style show titled “The Untrainable Dragon”. Most importantly… you will get the chance to meet Toothless 😭 This land looks better than I could have possibly expected. I absolutely cannot wait for this park to open Summer 2025!

✨What an AMAZING year it's been! ✨ I'm just so full of love and gratitude!! A HUGE thank you to all of my clients who trusted me with booking such special trips and invited me to come along side their family vacations! It's truly been an honor! This year, I also hit a ✨BIG✨ personal goal, and can't wait to share what that was after the new year!! I seriously can't wait to see what 2024 brings!!✨✨

🚡Take a ride with me today on the Walt Disney World Skyliner🚡 This is my favorite transportation at Disney! The Skyliner connects Disney’s Hollywood Studios and the International Gateway at EPCOT to the following Disney Resort hotels: ▫️Pop Century Resort ▫️Art of Animation Resort ▫️Caribbean Beach Resort ▫️Riviera Resort The International Gateway station at EPCOT is also a quick walk away from Disney’s Yacht Club Resort, Disney’s Beach Club Resort, and Disney’s Boardwalk Inn. It’s so relaxing to glide across the sky with a breeze after a long park day, and my family always loves seeing which themed gondola we will get. Just be warned- it sometimes stops in the air mid-flight while other guests are loading at the stations. If heights make you nervous, the Skyliner may not be for you! What do you think about the Skyliner? Love it or leave it?

When you book your trip with me, you get access to a Google Drive that I have curated to aid in your Disney vacation. This will be sent to you after you book with me! I promise you, if you take a few moments to look over the files, it will help make your trip run so much smoother and answer so many frequently asked questions. I’ve even known a few clients to actually print out many of the documents and bring them with them on their trip! 😍
