As hurricane season ramps up, just a quick reminder that regardless of when you travel, especially if you're headed to an international destination, GET THE TRIP INSURANCE.
Hurricane season in the Caribbean is June 1 -- November 30.

Photo on the right was taken this morning, following Hurricane Fiona's landfall.

Let me tell you the story of the man who reached out and said, "Next summer I want to take my wife to a Caribbean resort, for our anniversary. Help!"

This is awesome for many reasons, mostly because he planned so far in advance (my number one travel tip!) but also because he did it on his own -- his wife had no idea until he brought her in midway through the planning process. Wow, right?

And now they're counting down the days 'til their trip -- to an amazing location, at an incredible resort, where they'll receive VIP treatment in a Preferred Club Level room. Oh, and celebrate their 15th wedding anniversary. A success story all around!

Happy fall, y'all!
The calendar may not show, but it's definitely fall at my house -- and Mickey's house, too. Have you decorated yet?

Epcot is my favorite place, and the Disney Cultural Representatives are what make World Showcase truly special. For the first time since March of 2020, these global Cast Members are back and ready to interact with guests.
Over the years I've had Cultural Representatives write my name in Japanese, teach me how to say "where is the bathroom?" in German, and shared a lengthy discussion about Doctor Who and Cadbury Flake bars with an Englishman. To say I'm thrilled that these Cast Members are back in their respective countries is putting it mildly.
(Click on the photo to watch a short video about their return.)

"Is it too late to plan for holiday travel?"
The short answer is, "Maybe."
The honest answer? "Availability is scarce everywhere!"
Travel has seen a boon in 2022 like never before.
I'm not exaggerating when I suggest you start planning your 2023 getaways NOW.
Winter and spring break, Easter, Memorial Day, summer, the Fourth, Fall break, the '23 holiday season -- the time to book is now. Early planning ensures lowest pricing and the ability to make payments. 2023 is just a few months away...where do you want to go?

08/23/2022

Pssssssst: want to know what I'm seeing for travel in 2023?
Some good pricing at some amazing locations -- but only if you book early. Yes, start planning your 2023 vacation now!

Sailing from Rome to Santorini, Ephesus, Mykonos, and Naples on the newest Royal Caribbean ship?
YES!
This might be the best cruise itinerary yet, and one of my favorite couples will get to experience all of it next summer. Because they've booked early, they're able to make payments toward their trip -- and we have plenty of time to plan their pre & post-cruise stay in Italy, as well as reserve their port excursions.

Royal Caribbean's Odyssey of the Seas features bumper cars in the Sea Plex, glow-in-the-dark laser tag, Sky Pad bungee trampoline, resort-style pools, Broadway-caliber shows, sixteen dining options -- and so much more.

"Beautiful by Nature" is the phrase locals use to describe the islands of the Turks and Caicos. Last week was an adventure for me and my family, and our first (but not last!) visit to Providenciales. I learned a lot about this part of the Caribbean, and can confidently state that it's the most beautiful spot I've ever visited.
I'd be happy to help you plan a trip to this most amazing location, too!

07/15/2022

Closed — but just for the next 10 days! If you are traveling during this time, you know I’m available if needed.
If you’re not traveling, please get back to me after July 26, when I’ll be full of new experiences from a new location. Can’t wait to share with y‘all!

07/08/2022

*Blue skies and stunning beaches?
*A plethora of historical sites?
*Vibrant culture?
*Incredible food, shopping, and nightlife?
*The only tropical rainforest in the National Forest system?
*No passport required? (Read that again.)
The perfect Caribbean vacation is found in PUERTO RICO.

Because of its status as a United States territory, U.S. citizens only need their government-issued ID and birth certificate to visit Puerto Rico.

One of my favorite families will be visiting PR later this year, and I’m already having so much fun planning their trip. A visit to San Juan is now at the top of my list, too!

Happy Independence Day!

06/20/2022

These gorgeous high school sweethearts just returned from their honeymoon in the Dominican Republic, and I was so honored to plan their vacation.

The new Mr. and Mrs. McAnally spent a week at Dreams Dominicus, a fabulous resort in the Bayahibe area of Punta Cana, in a dreamy preferred club deluxe swim-up king suite. They enjoyed their private plunge pool, as well as amenities such as the private preferred club lounge, unlimited meals and snacks at 11 restaurants (pizza every day!), a private area on the beach, unlimited beverages, 24-hour room service, the resort’s incredible spa, and so much more.

Congratulations, Tristan and Abby! I’m so happy to have been a small part of your first trip as The McAnally Family!

06/15/2022

On a day like today, I really wouldn’t mind the thrilling 85-foot drop into these cool waters.
Jurassic World Dominion is a box office hit, and the series’ themed area at Islands of Adventure is exactly where I want to be right now — specifically riding Jurassic Park River Adventure. Repeatedly!

*BREAKING NEWS*
The Biden administration is announcing that the CDC will lift its requirement for travelers to test negative for Covid-19 before entering the United States. This measure has been in place since January 2021.
What does this mean?
Traveling to the Caribbean or Mexico soon? (I know a lot of you are, because I’ve booked you!)
As of Monday, you do not have to test to return home!

06/08/2022

2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣3️⃣
It’s been a busy morning (don’t ask how many cups of coffee I’ve consumed!) but y’all are getting booked!
Thank you to those who’ve trusted their Disney World plans with me. I’m still working on quotes so please reach out if you want yours.
*Remember, I need exact dates in order to send pricing.

06/06/2022

Okay, gang…get ready! On Wednesday, June 8, Disney will release package pricing for 2023 travel dates. Many of you are on my list and will be hearing from me on Wednesday or Thursday.
If you’re not on my list but are looking to travel to Disney in 2023, here’s what you need to do as soon as possible:
✨There is no such thing as “general pricing” for Disney World. I cannot tell you an estimate without specific dates. I’m thrilled to give you a no-obligation quote but in order to do so, I need your actual dates of travel.
For example: “I’d like to travel February 5-12, 2023, with two adults, one child aged 8, and one child aged 14.”
Yes, it needs to be that specific! I truly cannot give you pricing details without knowing the specific dates you’re hoping to travel in 2023.
✨Booking in advance with a $200 deposit means you lock in your package pricing, and payments can be made as often as you’d like, with full payment required 31 days before travel.
✨As always, I monitor your reservation throughout the year, and if any promos/discounts are released by Disney, I automatically apply it to your account. You don’t have to do a thIng!
✨If you want to place a deposit on a Disney vacation package this week, please reach out and we can manage your info and payment method now.
✨There’s no charge for my planning services. When you book your Walt Disney World reservation with me, I’m available to you every step of your trip.
And — fun fact — you pay for the services of an authorized Disney Destination specialist whether you book with one or not. Disney pays me — not my clients!
Let’s get ready for the Magic in 2023!

06/03/2022

Today’s National Doughnut Day, but what I love more than a doughnut is a Dole Whip Float. There’s a new offering at Magic Kingdom’s Aloha Isle — the “Tropical Serenade.” This float features the much-loved POG juice (pineapple-orange-guava), coconut soft serve, and an upside-down pineapple cake pop. It’s a limited offering for Disney World’s 50th anniversary, but I’m hoping they’ll keep it around for good…it’s absolutely delicious, and my new favorite.
Happy weekend, y’all!

“I want to stay at a Universal resort but I don’t want to break the bank.”
I’ve got the place for you!

Endless Summer—Dockside Inn & Suites is the newest offering in Universal Orlando’s slate of accommodations. I stayed last month and absolutely loved my time there. Dockside offers a host of amenities:
*Starbucks
*Pier 8 Market — one of the best resort food courts
*Amazing — and amazingly huge — pools
*Quick (and free!) bus transportation to City Walk, which leads you into Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios
*Early Theme Park Admission
*The ROOMS! Standard resort rooms, with 2 queen beds, or the two-bedroom suites (see the photos I’ve posted) which feature room for 6, plus a small kitchenette and dining area.

Dockside Inn and Suites (and its sister resort, Surfside Inn & Suites) is by far the most budget-friendly option at Universal…or even at that other place just down the road. Yes, really!
Ready to start planning your visit to Universal Studios Orlando?

05/18/2022

💥 BREAKING NEWS 💥
On June 8, 2022, new 2023 Disney vacation packages will be available for booking!
If you’ve reached out to me for a quote for 2023, I have you on my wait list. If you haven’t reached out, now is the time.
Remember, a $200 deposit is all that’s required to secure your Disney package.

✨Magical wedding — magical honeymoon! ✨
Imagine having a gorgeous wedding on Saturday evening, then checking into the gorgeous Port Orleans Riverside on Sunday morning! Tra and Maggie did just that.
Congratulations to one of my favorite couples — The Adams Family! Thanks for letting me plan your “Disneymoon.”

05/04/2022

Happy Travel Advisor Appreciation Day!
I love what I do, and I’m beyond thankful for all the wonderful people who’ve trusted their vacation plans with me. Thank you for supporting me.

05/02/2022

Things I did last week:
*Toured every resort at Universal Orlando. Extensively. My feet still hurt.
*Braved a freezing conference room to learn the most up-to-date information about Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Hollywood.
*Went to Hogwarts, Hogsmeade, & Diagon Alley.
*Raced around NYC with Jimmy Fallon.
*Met a bunch of Dreamworks characters.
*Went face to face with dinosaurs.
*Hung out with Optimus Prime & Bumblebee.
*Watched my friend ride Hulk and Velocicoaster. (Both go upside down. I don’t go upside down.)
*Rested by the pool for an hour - my feet still hurt!
*A whole lot more!

Thanks to Academy Travel for a fabulous and informative time at Universal Orlando Resort!

“Who even uses a travel agent anymore? I just book it all online.” —The common but incorrect manner of thinking.
Things I’ve done today, for my clients:
*Sat on hold with Disney.
*Applied payments for clients’ trips.
*Added special celebration notes for a client’s upcoming vacation.
*Finished a custom itinerary for a family traveling to Disney World next week. (It’s all on a travel app!)
*Finished a custom itinerary for a couple traveling to Punta Cana next month.
*Texted with a client who is currently in destination, regarding her trip home in a few days.
*Booked a Caribbean honeymoon for October.
*Texted with a client who’s about to book a trip for late November.
*Booked a multi-generational trip to Universal for a family who hasn't had a vacation together in almost a decade.
*Registered for a webinar to learn more about a particular destination in the Caribbean.

Is your online booking site doing all of this for you?
I’m thankful for those who trust me with their vacation plans—I will continue to work on your behalf.
