I am all over this! 😍

A California real estate development company that owns The Waldorf Astoria in Las Vegas has bought two oceanfront parcels at Ko Olina Resort and plans to move forward with long-delayed plans to develop a $2 billion Atlantis Resort on one of the properties.

Newage Ko Olina, an affiliate of Kam Sang Co. Inc., purchased the 43.55 acres fronting two of Ko Olina’s lagoons for a total of about $216 million. The seller was China Oceanwide, which paid more than $424 million for the properties in 2015 and 2016.

As part of the deal, the buyer has agreed to develop the Atlantis Resort, which has long been planned for the 26.3-acre lagoon-front parcel between Aulani, A Disney Resort and the Beach Villas at Ko Olina.

I don’t like to make promises but I do promise to annoy the living hell out of you about my upcoming (last minute) Disney Cruise in 10 days!!!! I also promise to tan my legs this time around so that I do not blind you with my Washington white ass. I’ll do it! 😜

I love and appreciate all of the reviews my clients leave me, but this one hit the heart strings today. 🥹

Disney is not what it used to be, in the 90s, 2000s even last year! So much changes on a monthly, weekly and I’d even argue daily basis, that unless you plan Disney vacations as your job (which I do), you are most likely out of the loop somewhere.

Planning a magical vacation shouldn’t be hard! It’s should be fun, exciting and something you look forward to doing for your family! 

I help take the stress out of all the planning and would love to help as many people as I can this year.

In 2025 I have some really big goals for myself and my agency Go On Travel Co. When you work with me or one of my vetted travel advisors, you are not only receiving top-notch, free services, you’re also helping us achieve something great!

Every single inquiry, vacation package, cruise, ticket order, resort stay, trip add on, referral, review and all of those moving parts all add up to incredible support!

Thank you for being here & I look forward to helping plan you the most epic vacations for years to come! ♥️

I recently came across a woman on Instagram, who seems extremely likable, passionate about what she does and relatable to a point. She’s been sharing about her families trips to Walt Disney World, with the tips and tricks she uses she to navigate to parks, crowds, lines, Genie+, you name it, and of course came out with a guide to sell.

I didn’t think anything of it until I started to see more and more of her videos and the false information and really bad advice that went along with her eye catching aesthetic. I’m talking really really bad advice / like day ruining type of tips. 😵‍💫

A few reminders:
*Just because someone has a large social media following does not mean they know what the f**k they’re talking about.
*Just because someone puts together and sells a guide does not mean they know what they’re talking about.
*Just because it worked for one family, does not mean it’s going to work for the next or hundreds of thousands trying to copy it!
*Not all guides you can buy are going to be accurate or up to date. Information is always changing and misinformation is overflowing.

With someone who has close to 1 million followers if even 5% of her following purchased her guide at $40 a pop - really what does she care if her tips ruined people vacations? 🤑

I by no means think this woman had any ill intentions, and from what I hear she’s being ripped apart on other platforms for ruining people’s trips.

I just want to bring it bring it to my communities attention. Work with a pro. Not all “pros” are created equal. Not all trips are created equal, not all experiences are created equal. It’s insane to think the same tips and tricks will work for every family. ❌

1. This is why you always get the travel protection.
2. This is why you always cruise with a passport.
