✈️ Travel Tip Tuesday ✈️

🧳 Stay Hydrated! 💼
Staying hydrated while traveling is essential for maintaining your energy and health. Here are some tips to ensure you stay hydrated:

1️⃣ Carry a Water Bottle: Bring a refillable water bottle with you and keep it filled throughout the day. This helps you track your water intake and ensures you have water handy wherever you go.

2️⃣ Drink Regularly: Make a habit of drinking water regularly throughout the day, even if you don’t feel thirsty. Traveling and being in different climates can increase your body’s water needs.

3️⃣ Avoid Excessive Caffeine and Alcohol: Both caffeine and alcohol can contribute to dehydration. If you consume these beverages, balance them with extra water intake.

4️⃣ Eat Hydrating Foods: Incorporate foods with high water content into your diet, such as fruits (e.g., watermelon, oranges) and vegetables (e.g., cucumber, celery).

5️⃣ Be Prepared for Flights: Airplane cabins can be dehydrating due to low humidity. Drink water before, during, and after your flight. Consider bringing an empty water bottle to refill after passing through security.

6️⃣ Consider Electrolytes: In hot climates or during vigorous activities, consider drinks with electrolytes to replenish minerals lost through sweat.

7️⃣ Plan Ahead: Research water availability at your destination. In some places, tap water may not be safe to drink, so ensure you have access to bottled water or other safe alternatives.

🧳 By prioritizing hydration and incorporating these tips into your travel routine, you can maintain optimal hydration levels and enjoy your trip comfortably.

🧳 Travel Tip Tuesday 🧳

🚨 Buy Travel Insurance!! Most vendors we work with offer travel protection plans, but we work with 3rd party sellers too! Protect your vacation, and your sanity.

✈️ Travel insurance is important for several key reasons:

1️⃣ Medical Emergencies: It covers the cost of medical treatment abroad, which can be exorbitant without insurance. This includes hospitalization, emergency evacuation, and repatriation.

2️⃣ Trip Cancellation/Interruption: It reimburses you for prepaid, non-refundable trip costs if you have to cancel or cut short your trip due to covered reasons such as illness, injury, or unforeseen circumstances.

3️⃣ Lost or Delayed Baggage: It provides compensation for lost, stolen, or delayed baggage, helping you replace essential items during your trip.

4️⃣ Travel Delays: It covers additional expenses incurred due to travel delays, such as accommodation and meals, as well as compensation for missed connections.

5️⃣ Emergency Assistance: Many policies offer 24/7 emergency assistance services, providing support in navigating local healthcare systems, language barriers, and other emergencies.

6️⃣ Personal Liability: It covers legal expenses and damages in case you accidentally injure someone or damage property while traveling.

7️⃣ Adventure Activities: Some policies can be tailored to cover activities like skiing, scuba diving, or other adventure sports that may not be covered by standard insurance.

8️⃣ Peace of Mind: Travel insurance provides peace of mind, knowing that you have financial protection against unexpected events that could disrupt or ruin your trip.

✈️ Overall, travel insurance mitigates financial risks associated with travel, ensuring that you can focus on enjoying your trip rather than worrying about potential mishaps.

On July 24, 2024 Disney will introduce new branding for Genie+ and Individual Lightning Lanes at BOTH Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World. In addition to the new branding, the process for using these products will change, but ONLY at Walt Disney World.

THIS is why using a travel agent is so important! I have already viewed training on the new system, and my agency is currently digging into the details to fully prepare our clients.

These changes are welcome and will be beneficial to guests, but it will be important to understand the new terms and policies. I will be going over all of the pertinent info with my existing clients in our “ready to travel” planning. I’d love to help you too!
