As Walt Disney World deluxe resort guests you will get access to the extended evening hours perk that lets you stay in a park about 2 hours after it closes on select nights!!

Usually it’s Epcot and Magic kingdom 1x per week each BUT during the Halloween season they tend to switch things up - looks like we have some Hollywood studios extra evening nights this season too!!

Our awesome clients just got back from a Cali trip including Universal,Disneyland, Laguna Beach, and other SoCal stops! The highlight of their trip was the Universal VIP tour!!! The tour includes a gourmet exclusive lunch, private backlot tour (to the real studio), VIP ride access, plus ended with VIP seats to the night time show!

Another Bucket list item!

Thanks for the pics and feedback!!!!

So useful when strategizing which genie passes to book first! Remember now passes can be booked 7 days prior to your trip for your entire trip!

My clients will also get my custom tip sheets and strategies but this is a good place to start!

so much fun working on this group river cruise trip!! I love coordinating group trips like this! In addition to the benefit of having me to help to coordinate the group from start to finish (from picking the perfect cruise line, itenerary, dates, rooms, and price point that works for everyone in the group), many times we have access to group rates to to help clients to pay less than booking on their own. Woohoo !!

So excited for Halloween Horror Nights Studios Orlando FL🌎 !!! Just bought our tickets and express passes!!! This is the polar opposite of Disney’s family friendly Halloween party and not for younger children. The themed haunted houses and “Scare Zones” all over the park are intended to really push the limits “Face 10 terrifying haunted houses, 5 sinister scare zones, outrageous live entertainment and some of Universal Studios’ most exhilarating attractions” Fall is a great time for a quick Universal weekend to do all things Halloween in the Orlando area!!

One way to enhance your Walt Disney World or Universal Sturios Orlando trip is a custom basket delivered right to your resort from Practically Perfect Gifting Service-such a fun surprise for your family when they arrive!!! .

We sent our clients on a custom curated Lisbon + Barcelona trip recently and even though Barcelona was awesome, Lisbon had their heart! They especially couldn’t stop raving about boutique hotel! Not only was it a perfect location, but the hotel took amazing care of them and they loved the authentic European feel of this hotel! Add this to your bucket list!! Thanks for sending these pics to us!!!

NEW DISNEY PROMO!! Just finished checking all of my Disney clients' mid Oct-Dec trips for discounts (check your emails!) and ready to take quote inquiries for new trips this morning! The offer is a room discount (higher n deluxe level resorts compared to the lower ones) AND gives you a free park hopper!!!!! These are super limited and based on first come first serve!

*Keep in mind if you are thinking about a Halloween or Christmas/Holiday trip, dining reservations open up around the first week of August so you will want to be booked before this date in order to plan your trip with the best possible options for dining and add on experiences!

Finally made it to our spring break trip! “The shoemaker’s kids have no shoes” is very true for this travel agent today. After meticulously preparing every detail for your spring break trips, we got halfway to the airport when my daughter informed us that her entire luggage was still in her bedroom floor at home 🤣🤦🏻‍♀️
Pro tip: after packing your luggage bring it on your trip.

Just got back from Turks and Caicos and it was amazing!

Great weather ✅
The clearest water we have ever seen✅
White powdery sand ✅
Nice walking town with great restaurants ✅
Direct flights- less than 3 hours to get there from Newark or JFK with multiple days and flights per week ✅
(and slightly over three hours to get home)

More to come on the resort we stayed at (Beaches) and the others I toured! But there are so many options ranging from highest level, luxury to moderate, family, friendly tomore adult oriented, and all inclusive to noninclusive, depending on what you are looking for!

Woohoo thank you all for another amazing and crazy week of bookings! Now it’s the my turn!! It’s the final countdown until we can enjoy winter break and take a breather!!!

Who has been to beaches Turks and Caicos??

01/24/2024

edition! Book your RCL cruise as soon as dates are released!! Generally, this is one prices are lowest and you will have the best selection of rooms. Plus, with RCL we always have the opportunity to get your price lowered if a promo is released after booking!

This is especially important if you are a larger family! If you book when cruises are first released you can snag one of the coveted larger non suite category rooms that will typically be much more cost-effective compared to having to book to multiple connecting state rooms (which is often even difficult to find close to the cruising date).
