Have some "spare" time on your dedicated resort day? Strike up some fun at Splitsville Luxury Lanes! This is not your average bowling alley. With incredible food (I REALLY MEAN IT), upbeat music and fun vibe, it's a fantastic way to pin down the whole gang for some family fun time outside the parks.

Whether you are at the Walt Disney World or Disneyland Resort, Splitsville is a fun way to spend some vacation hours on non-park days or as a break from the parks in the afternoon. Have you bowled at Splitsville yet?

Tonight is the first Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party of the year! If you aren't going this year, what's going to give you the most FOMO?

- Trick or Treating
- Special Snacks
- Boo to You Parade
- Attraction overlays
- Villain Spelltacular Stage Show
- Seeing Minnie, Daisy and Clarabelle as the Sanderson Sisters

Your turn! What makes you really feel like you're missing out?

PS: If not being at this party is haunting you, let's fix that for next year! 2024 is open for booking right now.

I don't mean to shout, but PLAN FOR A NON THEME PARK DAY WHEN YOU BOOK YOUR WALT DISNEY WORLD VACATION! Don't get me wrong, the theme parks are second to none, but friends, there is so much to be said for taking a break to be "lazy" and enjoying your resort. Every resort hotel has a list of activities posted for the entire week that offers something for everyone (pool games, art and crafts, trivia, etc). Dine on property and explore! You could stumble upon an arcade, caricature artist, giant game of Twister, who knows. If you really feel like venturing out, WDW has two miniature golf courses. The point is, no schedule, no return times, no breaking a sweat to get from point A to point B "in time."

Trust me, your body will thank you for the break and if you're struggling to fit it in the budget, a split-stay could make a longer stay possible. Let's chat!

A question I often get from my guests is "what's included in EPCOT's International Food & Wine Festival?" While actual food and wine is available for purchase at booths throughout the park, one thing included with your EPCOT park admission is the Eat to the Beat concert series. During this festival, the American Gardens Theater is host to
popular music acts that play 20-30 minute sets a few times a day Fridays thru Mondays (with local acts performing Tues-Thurs).

If there is an act you are just dying to see, the best way to guarantee a seat is to book an Eat to the Beat Dining Package. I've helped many guests secure this package! With
a choice of dining at breakfast, lunch or dinner at some of EPCOT's best restaurants, it's a win-win!

The 2023 Food & Wine Festival is well underway, but it's not too late to book a visit THIS YEAR as it runs into November and it's never too early to plan for next!

If nostalgia is the driving force that brings you out to Disneyland and you want to feel a little immersed in "the Disneyland of Walt's Day", I highly recommend staying at the Disneyland Hotel. As the first hotel to open at the resort in 1955, it's home to displays of
memorabilia, attraction models, vintage photographs and nods to a bygone era throughout the towers.

Disneyland is a really special place and honestly something I consider a MUST DO for anyone that is more than just a casual fan of the theme parks. If you're captivated by Disney's origin story, let's talk about getting you out there!

08/07/2023

Are you a "completer"? Meaning, do you like to feel like you DID IT ALL on vacation? If so, the Disneyland Resort is the destination for you. With only two theme parks and a smaller shopping district, five days at Disneyland is all you really need to feel like it's been DONE! Now, you may want to stay longer to try more dining experiences or soak up as much of Walt's park as you can, but you can truly feel fulfilled in under a week.

If the massive four Disney parks on the East Coast feels like a daunting magical overload, why not start where the magic began? The OG, Disneyland, is smaller with
just two theme parks that you can easily breeze back and forth between on foot without even really breaking a sweat. (Depending on the season, of course) What do
you think, is smaller more magical or do you think go BIG or go home?

08/06/2023

Happy National Friendship Day, guys! Not to be confused with International Friendship Day which was just last month. But hey, if popcorn and pretzels can get 3 days a year, our sweet friends surely deserve extra love! That said, I'm not sure if even the Fab Five is sweeter than this group with Pooh and his pals.

So my friends, do you have any special memories with Winnie the Pooh and his pals from Hundred Acre Wood?

08/06/2023

I would like to express my gratitude to all of my clients. As I am a Top 20 Agent in my agency for the month of July. It is a tremendous accomplishment, given the amazing fellow agents that I work with.

As a reminder, I do help with more than just all things Disney. If you are looking for some assistance with future Disney/Universal travel plans please reach out to me at [email protected]. I would love to help!

08/04/2023

Universal Orlando Resort gives us what the Walt Disney World Resort just can't seem to...theme park refillable mugs! Yup, you can purchase a refillable mug to use inside the theme parks! Plus, it's not only Coca-Cola beverages, it includes Icee drinks too! You know what that means, right? Unlimited FROZEN COKES!

Now this mug is a SEPARATE purchase from Universal's resort refillable mug program, but it's still a fantastic bargain for anyone that enjoys fountain beverages and/or Icees. Especially in the hot summer months!

Would you pay a little more per mug to be able to use it at your resort hotel AND in the theme parks?

08/03/2023

You know what's more refreshing than watermelon on a hot summer day? Watermelon on a hot summer day at Nomad Lounge. A stop at this Animal Kingdom hidden gem is something you'll definitely want to add to your itinerary. Don't let the word "lounge" fool you. It's kid friendly, has a fantastic small bites menu and offers both alcoholic and non-alcoholic refreshments...many garnished with watermelon! Try either version of Jenn's Tattoo if you're a fan of the unofficial fruit of summer.

It's pretty easy to miss Nomad Lounge, but trust me you don't want to! Email me at [email protected] when you finally say "let's do it" and want to book a Walt Disney World vacation!

Imagine how exciting it must have been to be among the first guests to step foot on Disney's private island in the Bahamas, Castaway Cay. It's pretty exciting today, 25
years later!

Itineraries with a stop at Castaway Cay are sought after for a reason! And next June, Disney will welcome guests for the first time to a NEW ISLAND, Lighthouse Point,
which promises to be extraordinary!

Think sailing away to paradise might be the type of Disney vacation for your family? Reach out to me at [email protected] and let's take a look at some itineraries!

Three reasons that Disney's Coronado Springs Resort should top your "where to stay" list:

1.) The stunning architecture, tranquil lake, and lush grounds create a serene, Mayan oasis that will have you thanking your travel agent for suggesting an extra day at the resort.

2.) The incredible Lost City of Cibola Pool, complete with a thrilling water slide and a rejuvenating hot tub. After a full day in the parks you will feel like you're unwinding in paradise.

3.) The rooms offer a modern, sleek design with a subtle blend of Disney details to remind you that you aren't in the Yucatan, but at WDW!

Returning to your room at Coronado Springs after a day in the parks makes it feel like you're on two different vacations! Have you had your eye on this resort?

While you can't meet Harry, Ron, Hermione and the rest of the Potter pals (and villains) at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, these characters come to life through the magic of technology!

While you're exploring the corners of Hogwarts Castle, onboard the Hogwarts Express or trying to Escape from Gringotts, you'll encounter these friends and foes through life-like projections that take the storytelling to a whole new level of authenticity.

When you're ready to feel as if you've stepped right into the magical world of Harry Potter, you can reach this Muggle here: Find me at [email protected]. I'm always ready to help you plan!

Wizards and Muggles looking for the enchanting elixir known as Butter Beer will be
happy to know there are several places it can be procured at Universal Orlando Resort.

Whether you're craving the frozen version or just chilled, you can find both Butter Beer varieties at:

DIAGON ALLEY
The Leaky Cauldron
The Fountain of Fair Fortune
The Hopping Pot

HOGSMEADE
The Three Broomsticks
Hog’s Head
Butter Beer street carts

What's your favorite way to enjoy Butter Beer?

07/29/2023

CHEERS TO OVERCOMING FEARS! While the Haunted Mansion is ultimately full of happy haunts, it can still be scary and a little daunting to the kiddos. If you know someone that needs a little extra coaxing, check this out!

Columbia Harbour House, located right across from the Haunted Mansion, offers the perfect treat for celebrating bravery... the Happy Haunts Milk Shake! Topped with a purple chocolate glazed sprinkled donut, this blackberry frozen treat also comes with
a spooky Haunted Mansion themed paper straw. What a fun way to honor a brave milestone!

Have you ever had to bribe anyone to ride an attraction? Tell us about it!

07/28/2023

Not sure which Disney destination to book? Make that decision, my friend, especially when it comes to Walt Disney World and Disney Cruise Line vacations! There are typically 2 price increases per year for Walt Disney World and Disney Cruise Line pricing is dynamic. That means the price will surely increase as the sailing gets closer. Part of my job as your travel agent is to price watch, so don’t worry if a promotion comes out, I’ll be trying to apply it for you, possibly before you even wake up!

Making that decision sooner rather than later will likely save you money - more to spend on Dole Whips, churros or the cruise drink of the day! Need some help making a decision? Contact me at [email protected] and I'll help!

07/27/2023

Delicious debate time! When it comes to classic comfort food at Magic Kingdom, which would you rather sink your teeth into: a mouthwatering chili cheese hot dog from Casey's Corner or some tasty chicken fingers from Cosmic Ray's? For me, it is Casey's Corner all day long!!!!!

Cast your vote below, and let me know your favorite! Feel free to share your reasons too—I want to hear your thoughts.

07/26/2023

Are you still kind of mourning the closure of the Streets of America at Hollywood Studios? You really did feel like you were on a live movie or show set! I love the changes but sure do miss Streets of America.

If you're pining for that old feeling, plan a visit to Universal Studios! Their New York and San Francisco areas give off that same "on a movie set" vibe and you'll have a blast discovering all the details. Email me at [email protected] when you're ready to step back into the good old days!

07/25/2023

Since we've got Christmas (in July) on the brain today, what better time than now to talk about a magical holiday tradition that occurs at Disney's Beach Club Resort...the annual gingerbread carousel! Each year for the last 22, Disney pastry chefs create this magnificent lobby centerpiece! The theme changes from year to year, but it's almost
guaranteed to include some hidden Mickeys in the ornate and delectable details!

You don't have to be booked at Disney's Beach Club Resort to visit this display, everyone is welcome to stop by! Now is the perfect time to plan for a holiday
season visit to the Walt Disney World Resort. Contact me at [email protected] I'm always in the Disney planning spirit!

07/24/2023

As a travel agent, I often hear "I would love to book a Disney cruise, but nobody else seems interested." To this, I say "consider taking a solo cruise!" Traveling alone offers a unique sense of empowerment and it's liberating! You would have all the decision-making powers like when to get up, what excursions to take, when to take a rest, when to shop, when to snack - it's amazing! And with Disney especially, you know you're in good, safe hands.

The objection I hear most is "I don't want to eat with strangers." You won't! You'll be seated at your own table. What other questions or concerns do you have about traveling solo? Drop them in the comments!

07/23/2023

There is so much magic in the rare and unexpected at Walt Disney World! Tucked away near the American Adventure pavilion in EPCOT, you could encounter some of Disney's most cherished and RARE characters! This location is a character training area, where Cast Members gather to practice their performances, perfect their autographs, and hone their meet-and-greet skills. From princesses to classic icons, you never know who you might run into, so keep your eyes peeled and your autograph books handy!

Are characters a big part of your Disney dream vacation? Which one are you most wanting to hug and take a selfie with?

07/22/2023

Decisions, decisions! Imagine taking a hammock nap in two paradise-like destinations: Disney's Castaway Cay and Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort. Whether it's swaying gently in a hammock by the ocean or lulling yourself to sleep during a midday break from the parks, these moments of relaxation are the secret ingredients that make a vacation truly unforgettable.

If you had to choose between the hammocks of Castaway Cay or Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort, which would you prefer? One of my favorite spot's is Caribbean Beach so it is a winner for me! Share your thoughts and if you're in the mood to make this your blissful reality in the future, contact me at [email protected] and let's get it on the books!

07/22/2023

Picture if you will...the queue of the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror! Even if you've never seen a single episode of The Twilight Zone, the "Easter eggs" are still fun and eerie to take notice of. The abandoned, cobweb covered game of Mahjong in the lobby is chilling!

If you're the kind of person that appreciates the details, here are some episodes of The Twilight Zone to watch before you ride: “Caesar and Me”, “The Invaders”, “Passage for Trumpet”, “In the Nick of Time”, “It’s a Good Life” and "The Fever".

Have you ever seen any of these?

07/21/2023

Ahh, the glory days...on this day in 1999, the very first FastPass was issued at Walt Disney World! Can't you just feel the shin burn and leg cramps that came with racing to the kiosks to grab FastPasses and score the perfect return time?

With the introduction of FastPass, SO much changed about touring the parks. Anyone remember days where it felt like we waited 100 forevers just to ride Splash Mountain?!

What's your preference? Same-day, race to the attraction FastPass? FastPass+ where you could book 3 attractions in advance? Or the current Genie+/Lightning Lane option? I loved the FastPass+ option where you could book 3 attractions ahead of time as it gave you the basic plan for your day to start and you knew what you were doing ahead of time.

07/20/2023

Chat with us! What's your go-to for breakfast at Islands of Adventure? While you may be hustling to Hagrid's at rope drop, circle back and stop into Croissant Moon Bakery for a post-ride breakfast. Whether you want sweet or savory, you'll find it here. BONUS you can mobile order!

Share your favorite quick morning Universal breakfast "go-to" and let's ignite a delicious
conversation in the comments below!

YOUR intergalactic expertise is needed, Star Wars and food fanatics! So, here's the debate: Is the Ronto Wrap from Ronto Roasters (at Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge) really just a hot dog in space clothing or in a category all its own? For me, personally, this is a must-get on every trip! It is soooooooo good!

Whether you agree with me or not, I think everyone would enjoy pairing a Ronto Wrap with a non-alcoholic, refreshing Tatooine Sunset! Share your thoughts on this topic and add your pics in the comments if you got 'em!

07/18/2023

FREEBIE ALERT! The Disney 100 Years of Wonder celebration isn't all just cute character costumes and irresistible merch. For a limited time, all guests of Disneyland theme parks will receive complimentary digital photo downloads at these four major attractions (no Genie+ purchased required):

- Guardians of the Galaxy-Mission: Breakout!
- Radiator Springs Racers
- Incredicoaster
- Space Mountain

I bet you have some epic attraction photos, share them in the comments!

Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays and Animal Kingdom's Merry Menagerie all return and the new Disney Jollywood Nights at Hollywood Studios makes its debut! Oh and treats... let's not forget the treats!

Tickets for Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party and Jollywood Nights are LIMITED so don't delay! Email me at [email protected] and let's plan YOUR very merry Disney vacation!

07/16/2023

On this glorious National Ice Cream Day, let's take a peek inside EPCOT's L'Artisan Des Glaces—a hidden gem where frozen desserts meet culinary artistry. As you follow your nose to the France pavilion, the aroma of freshly made waffle cones and a display of mouthwatering flavors will make it really hard to decide what to order. So go in prepared!

From a classic waffle bowl to an elegant macaron sandwich and so much in between, options are endless and temptingly delicious.

If you could stop in here today, what would you order?

07/15/2023

Pixar fans, you're going to LOVE this! The transformation of Disneyland's Paradise Pier
Hotel to Pixar Place Hotel is almost complete! In fact, it should be done this winter. What an "incredible" way to spend the holidays!

From the subtle touches featuring Pixar friends to the Finding Nemo-themed water
features and its lower price point, this on-property hotel is going to be hard to book.
Not to mention there is a dedicated entrance to Disney California Adventure Park for Pixar Place Hotel guests only.

When you're ready to book your stay here and plan a Disneyland adventure, you've got a friend (and planning partner) in me! Reach out to me at [email protected] to get started!

I get asked all the time, what are the benefits to booking with a travel agent? Booking dining, developing strategies, and help during the trip is just the tip of the iceberg.
