“Here you leave today and enter the world of yesterday, tomorrow and fantasy.” - Walt Disney
Every time I walk under that sign at Disneyland, I get goosebumps. At a young age, I fell in love with the Disney experience and now I share this love with my family, friends, and clients. I've been called the “go to” for Disneyland advice among friends… be it a family vacation, adult getaway, or runDisne
y event, I've done it all. As a Disneyland AP holder I visit the parks as often as possible and I love to try something new each time I go. In 2017 I got to cross off some items on my “Disney Bucket List” when I took my first Disney Cruise, returned to Walt Disney World for my first visit in 10 years, and made my first voyage to Aulani, Disney's Resort & Spa in Ko'Olina Hawaii. I love sharing my travel experiences and Disney knowledge with others and look forward to putting it to use as I plans magical vacations for my clients.
Did you know that there are two Margaritaville Island Reserve properties in Cancun? Well now ya do!
Margaritaville Riviera Cancun features a fantastic indoor/outdoor design with thatched rooftops, a beautiful beach, and serene atmosphere. A great option for guests of all ages!
Unleash Your Inner Kid in Paradise!
Today’s agenda took us to Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Riviera Maya, where a five-star family escape meets endless fun in the sun (or rain as today might have it) and slime and all-inclusive goes above and beyond the ordinary.

Nothing better than a room with a view! In love with all the details of this room including dolphin tail bathroom fixtures, luggage style dresser drawers, and Margaritaville lifestyle touches throughout. And who can complain about this view!?!!??
🎶 Come Monday, it’ll be alright…” ☀️🌴🌮🥑🌊
Monday can’t come fast enough…. I’ll be sharing my experience with you during my visit to Margaritaville Island Reserve Riviera Maya, an all inclusive adults only resort in Cancun. As a huge Jimmy Buffett fan I’m beyond excited to check this island paradise out and sharing what I learn with you is the icing on the cake… or lost shaker of salt with my margarita. 🦜🧂🍹😆
During my stay I’ll also be visiting a variety of other Karisma brand properties including Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts and Azul Beach Resorts.

Welcome to Downtown Disney, Centrico!
Last week I was lucky enough to stumble upon a soft opening for one of the many new dining options in Downtown Disney and this one is going to be a HUGE hit!
The overall vibe is fantastic, and the food and drink were an A+. I can’t wait to return here to try more. This one is going straight to the top of the list of options I recommend!

So fun to see this guy today! Bing B**g is now greeting guests at Disney’s Pixar Place Hotel.
Lunar New Year… my favorite festival of all at Disney’s California Adventure Park and Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa.
The food (this plant based chicken kung pao bao!!), the colors, the performances… all an A+!
Happy opening day, Pixar Place Hotel!
You’re darling. Everything I’d hoped and more. Just what we needed.
Another top item on my to do list today is to explore the Lunar New Year Festival and specifically, the Sweet Enchantments booth where the most talented woman makes sugar art.
This took about a minute to make… maybe two. So stunning, and mesmerizing to watch!
I wasn’t supposed to be here today. 😆
But when an unexpected and time sensitive errand came up, and there’s a storm coming soon, and it’s opening day for Pixar Place Hotel, AND you score a last minute room reservation… you do what you have to do. 😂
I’ve already been to my room and it’s DARLING. The completely redone space is bright and smartly designed. The lobby area is filled with media and executives getting ready for the ribbon cutting ceremony, so I’ll hold off on more photos until I can access more spaces later today. Lots more to come!
Well isn’t Downtown Disney going to look spiffy!
“Exciting innovations are coming to Downtown Disney District! 💫 Just announced updates include: Parkside Market, a collection of four diverse culinary concepts from Levy Restaurants, with delicious dining spots like Seoul Sister, Sip & Sonder, GG’s Chicken Shop and a second story bar with gorgeous views of the district. The beloved Earl of Sandwich will also have an all-new, two-story location. New restaurants including Paseo, Céntrico and Tiendita, Porto’s Bakery and Din Tai Fung will also make their way to the district.

Thanks for another magical holiday season, Disney!
Considering a visit for 2024? I’d love to help! Booking early is the best way to get your top accommodation choice and lock in your pricing. Worried a promotion will come up? I got you! I always monitor promotions and if I can save you money later down the road, I will! That’s just one of the benefits of booking with me. 😉

Morning rains have given way to a stunning day at Disneyland Resort! I had to get back for just one more dose of holiday fun before the season ends. An overnight stay at Good Neighbor hotel and guest favorite, Candy Cane Inn, tops off the last days of the holiday season perfectly! Lots more coming in my stories as my visit continues.
What an amazing year 2023 has been! Thank you to all of my guests who’ve trusted their vacation memories to me. Together we’ve explored lots of incredible new destinations and in 2024 that list is already scheduled to grow well beyond what I ever imagined when I started my business.
Huge props to my colleagues and partners with Magical Vacation Planner. Congrats on a spectacular year of celebration and recognition. Can’t wait to see what lies ahead for all of us!
