Fairytale Journeys by Amanda Notheis

If you haven’t been following my page, you might have missed this! 🫣

Last week I attended an on-site training at Walt Disney World with a bunch of other travel agents with Fairytale Journeys. We were led by some of the best in the biz, and I learned SO MUCH! 🤓📝 This was an amazing opportunity to completely immerse ourselves in the Disney travel world 🏰 and I’m so excited to share it all with you in the coming months! 🤗

❤️ I can’t wait to grow my travel business even more this year, and I’m so grateful for friends and clients like YOU who have helped make this possible for me!

Cheers to a bigger and better 2023! 🎉

💰Budget is generally the most important part of planning a vacation. As a Travel Advisor, my job is to make sure you are getting the best bang for your buck all while staying within your requested budget.

It is important to know that you CAN do Disney on a BUDGET! I know Disney price tags can be scary! There are ways to make sure you have a magical vacation, all while staying within a certain price point.

Here are some helpful tips!

1. Stay in a Value resort! Disney has 5 value resorts on property that include standard rooms all the way up to family suites. Their modest per night pricing allows families to enjoy their Disney Vacation without the stress of over spending.
2. No one said you have to eat Disney food! Pack snacks and lunches! Use apps like Instacart to have food delivered to your room. This will most definitely save you a good amount of money throughout your stay..even if its just for 1 meal per day!
3. All Disney resorts have fantastic pools and fun for everyone entertainment! Spend some of your vacation soaking up the sun poolside, and experiencing what your resort has to offer.
4. Disney gift cards can be purchased at a discounted rate at places like Target (with a red card), Sams Club, and BJ's. Snag these deals for your spending money! Or, even to pay into your trip.
5. Hopper tickets are great but more expensive. Base tickets are just as wonderful! Spend your entire day enjoying what 1 park has to offer.
6. Check your local stores for Disney Park items like bubble wands and Minnie ears. Purchasing these items in the park can be very costly, especially with multiple children. Buy this stuff ahead of time, and pack it in your suitcase.

Remember, Disney is magical no matter how much your trip costs you!! ✨

❓Are you on the fence about putting down a deposit on a trip to Walt Disney World? Need some time to talk it over with a significant other? Just need to sleep on it before making a commitment?

✅I’ve got you covered!!!

Did you know that a complimentary 3️⃣ day hold can be put on any Disney package before a deposit is due?!

📆 This is a GREAT way to ensure availability at the resort you want, especially if you are planning on traveling at a busy time of year!

So if you find a package that you want to book but just need a few days to think, ask me about that 3️⃣ day hold to ensure availability when you are ready! You won’t regret it!

They say everything happens for a reason. I feel it’s a fair question to ask, “WHAT is the reason?!” You sit on it for hours. Days. Weeks. Months. And even a year later you may not get the answer. It HURTS. Your life can change overnight. Everything you have can be violently taken from you. You sit back and wonder “HOW did this happen? What did I do to deserve this???”
But there are 3 things I have taken from this.
1. God will not put me through something I can’t handle.
2. It’s okay to not be okay.
3. Just keep moving forward.
