🚢 Is it the journey or the destination? We hear this expression a lot, but it really is a hard question to answer when it comes to cruising. Disney Cruise Line takes the cake with both the magical experience ✨ and the amazing ports of call. With itineraries like the Caribbean, Alaska, the Mediterranean, and more, there is a sailing for all interests. 🌍 But if the sights aren’t the star of the trip, you won’t be disappointed with all that DCL has to offer. Included in each sailing are:

🎭 Broadway-style shows

🍽️ Exciting dining experiences

🎉 Characters galore

🎨 An abundance of onboard activities for all ages

⭐ Disney level of service

Each ship is a floating destination filled with all the things you love about Disney!

When we cruise Disney we tend to not get off anymore at Nassau and enjoy the ship, but explore most of the other ports instead!

What do you say? Is a Disney Cruise Line trip just about the port adventures, or would you be just as happy never stepping off the ship? ⬇️

🍽️ 🏰I know how it is—when you’ve got your go-to quick service spot at Magic Kingdom, it’s hard to veer off the path. (Trust me, I get it. There’s comfort in sticking with a favorite!). BUT when you’re ready to take a break from your “usual,” head straight to 🍺 Gaston’s Tavern in Fantasyland.

Their new Ham & Gruyère Tart is next-level! If you’re a fan of rich, savory combos, this is the dish you didn’t know you needed. And, if you do take the leap and try it, you’ve GOT to add a Grey Stuff Cupcake for dessert. 🧁 It’s the ultimate reward for stepping outside your comfort zone. (Spoiler: It’s delicious!)

Trust me, you won’t be disappointed, and who knows, you might just find a new favorite! Are you tempted to give it a shot, or are you sticking with your “old reliable” (and what is that exactly)? 😊

Gather the family for an unforgettable dining experience at Izumi Hibachi & Sushi! 🍣 Watch in awe as talented chefs whip up fresh sushi and mouthwatering teppanyaki right before your eyes. Contact me to satisfy your foodie craving - only on Royal Caribbean.

💜💛💚🎊 Love the idea of partying during Mardi Gras but not quite up for the authentic (ok, WILD) New Orleans experience? Check out Universal Mardi Gras: International Flavors of Carnaval at Universal Orlando Resort! It’s all the fun of the celebration—delicious food 🍤, festive drinks 🍹, live music 🎶, vibrant parades 🎭, and ALL the beads—within the safety of the Universal Orlando bubble. 🎉✨

If controlled chaos is more your Mardi Gras vibe, let’s talk about getting you booked for this festive street party that runs from February 1st-March 30th! Message me or email me at [email protected] to get started with your Mardi Gras countdown! 🎉✨

It’s Princess Day, but let’s switch things up and celebrate the one and only Princess Peach from Super Nintendo World! 👑 If you’ve got kids who can’t get enough of Mario Kart 🚗💨, or you grew up playing Donkey Kong 🐒, then you’re going to love this. You can meet Princess Peach (Mario & Luigi too) at Super Nintendo World in Universal Studios Hollywood! 🍄 It’s the ultimate experience for the Mario Kart obsessed and feels just like you’ve walked into a video game 🎮. There’s a lot to know about experiencing this land to the fullest, so let me help you make the most of the trip if you plan to visit!

HOWEVER, if a west coast adventure isn’t in the cards, Universal Orlando’s Epic Universe opens on May 22, 2025 and will have both Super Mario Land and Donkey Kong Country 🍌! It’s going to be the hottest ticket in Orlando, and there are limitations on visiting! Message me or email me at [email protected] for more information on booking an east or west coast Super Nintendo World adventure! 🌟

If you’re heading to Disney’s Animal Kingdom thinking it’s just a quick stop for Pandora or Expedition Everest, let me stop you right there. The real magic is the unexpected entertainment that’ll make you fall in love with this park before you even realize it’s happening 🌿✨. From Winged Encounters where macaws soar above you 🦜, to the mesmerizing DiVine, a living, breathing vine 🌿—these are just a couple of the surprises that make Animal Kingdom unforgettable. The thrilling attractions are a bonus for sure 🎢!

These are the moments—the unplanned magic—that make Animal Kingdom more than just a park. It’s a place that makes you slow down, look around, and really appreciate nature and the storytelling that only Disney can do. Have a favorite memory at Animal Kingdom? 🌿✨

If vacation means indulging in sinfully delish fast food 🍟, have you ever thought about a Disney Cruise? Absolutely, Disney Cruise Line is all about value, relaxation, and fun, but it’s also about the FOOOOOD 🌮—and most of it is included in the cruise fare. Feel like some pizza at 11? No problem 🍕. Got a hankering for a burger to hold you over until dinner? It’s yours 🍔. Don’t feel like sitting in a dining room? Grab a quick bite and eat on the deck 🌊. And it’s not just burgers and fries either! Each ship has its own unique offerings (BBQ, salads, wraps) 🌯, but the variety is there across the fleet. Splurge until your heart’s and belly’s content without a surprise credit card bill when you get home! ✨

So if you’ve been to the parks and are starting to plan a vacation for next year, take a look at a Disney cruise. I’m happy to help you sort through the details 🛳️. For now, what “fast food” item do you rarely say NO to? 🍔🌭

Pickles aren’t just for sandwiches; they’re a Christmas tradition too! 🥒 In Germany, families hide a pickle ornament on their Christmas tree 🎄. The first person to find it on Christmas morning gets an extra present from Old Saint Nick 🎅. What a fun way to get everyone to take a good look at all the ornaments on the tree while adding a little extra pixie dust ✨ to the holiday festivities!

Stop by EPCOT’s Germany pavilion to learn more about this fun, quirky tradition and maybe snag your own pickle ornament as a fun souvenir of your trip or as a gag gift for the pickle-obsessed person in your life 🥒😂. I think we all have one of those! Anyone take part in this tradition? 🎄

What’s better than a meal so delicious it takes you back to Grandma’s holiday table? 🍲 Okay, how about Mickey, Pluto, Chip, AND Dale being there too? 🐭🐶🐿️🐿️ EPCOT’s Garden Grill is a character meal that doesn’t skimp on flavor. Indulge in your favorites while never leaving the table at this low-key, less chaotic character meal. Who has given Garden Grill a shot? What was your favorite thing on that massive family-style plate? 🍽️✨

Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock 🪨, you must have heard that Universal Orlando Resort will be launching a 4th theme park in May, and this one is going to be EPIC (Literally.) 🌟 As guests file in for the new and shiny, I’d like to HIGHLY recommend we get you booked for a pre-Epic opening adventure. Take advantage of lighter crowds while the rest of the world waits for the grand opening! Universal Orlando is a fantastic place to spend the holidays (hello—Grinchmas! 🎄), ring in the New Year 🎊, have an adults-only Valentine’s getaway 💕, or just because Butterbeer is irresistible all year long 🍺. I’d love to hook you up with their dining card promo currently running!

Heroes Work Here! This Veterans Day, let’s take a moment to honor the incredible contributions of our U.S. military service members—and shine a light on Disney’s Heroes Work Here program 🇺🇸✨.

Since 2012, Disney has hired thousands of veterans, offering jobs, support, and resources to help them successfully transition into civilian careers. Keep an eye out for markers like this one in EPCOT—a tribute to Disney’s commitment to our heroes. As a true patriot, no doubt Walt Disney would be proud of the way his company is thanking our veterans for their service! 👏

To all the veterans out there—thank you for your dedication, bravery, and sacrifice. Let’s celebrate the heroes in our lives today; put their names in the comments, or simply say thank you! ❤️🤍💙

This isn’t any vacation; this is Next Icon of Vacations. Star of the Seas has it all, from mind-blowing thrills, next level chill, bolder bonding, epic celebrations and wander lusting exploration. Sailing from Port Canaveral in summer 2025! #RoyalCaribbean #StaroftheSeas

Anyone else have the same wish? #DisneySkyliner #WaltDisneyWorld #TravelwithME #TaketheVacation

I'm not sure I am going to be able to convince my kids that a non-Oasis class ship is for them... one of the things they still talk about is Oceanaria! It was a show at the AquaTheater – only on Oasis class ships. It has the deepest pool at sea, flanked by two 30-foot diving platforms that set the scene for mesmerizing dive spectaculars. You can even watch the warmups if you get there early, which was just as thrilling to the kids. If sailing on an Oasis class ship, make sure to reserve this show! It is a free show but with limited seating you don't want to miss this! #AquaTheater #OasisClass #RoyalCaribbean #AllureoftheSeas #TravelwithME #TaketheVacation

Dancing with your servers is a fun... if you can take a pause from dessert! #RoyalCaribbean #AllureoftheSeas #TaketheVacation #TravelwithME

When at California Adventures don't miss out on this fun ride with your kids! #Sully #MonstersInc #CaliforniaAdventure #Disneyland #TaketheVacation #TravelwithME

City Walk at Universal Orlando Resort has a lot of offer to do for your family! Build in time to enjoy it! #UOR #CityWalk #UniversalOrlandoResort #TravelwithME #TaketheVacation

One of the things I love about traveling right after Christmas, is it extends the holiday season a bit. Around Orlando, Christmas music was still playing and everything is still decorated. If you are big into the Christmas season and the nativity story, a must see is A Wondrous Night at Sea World! The musical show kept my kids engaged, involved incredible singing, dancing, puppetry and even live animals! This show is included with the price of admission to Sea World as well as various other Christmas activities such as toy soldiers, ballerinas in a snow globe, tree lightning, an ice-skating show and even fireworks! #SeaWorld #Christmas #OhWondrousNight #SilentNight #Orlando #TravelwithME #TaketheVacation

This can be you in 2024! Contact me to spend the holidays in Walt Disney World next year! #WaltDisneyWorld #TaketheVacation #TravelwithME

7 is a big age at Disney World! You can ride in your own row on rides! Can you guess what Ellie first rode in her own row? #WaltDisneyWorld #MagicKingdom #TravelwithME #TaketheVcation

Have you ever seen anyone more excited about a bathroom?! We surprised our kids on the last night with a stay at Caribbean Beach Resort in a Standard 5th Sleeper room! #CaribbeanBeachResort #WaltDisneyWorld #TravelwithME #TaketheVacation
