I got this puzzle for Christmas over a year ago. Last summer, after we moved across Texas, we began working on it and got pretty far until all that was left were clouds and sky. We started it again recently, hoping to complete it before Baby T’s arrival. His arrival was not what we expected. We found out our sweet boy’s heart had stopped beating and he was born sleeping on May 30, 2024.
We were so excited to take our boy to Walt Disney World in December. I had booked a savanna view one-bedroom villa at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge- Kidani Village. We were going to take our almost 6 month old and my parents. We were so excited about it.
We ask for privacy as we grieve. We are hurting tremendously, and I will not be posting about vacations for a while. My current clients are all being taken care of, but if you're interested in a quote, please reach out to Keys to Dream Travel. We also ask for prayers during this time.
I might have looked at lots of Disney baby clothes at Walt Disney World last month… 🫣👀 I didn’t buy anything, but they do have so many cute things for babies to wear to the parks! 💙💗
*I am still out of the office for maternity leave, but please reach out to our agency for any vacation needs!*

One of my favorite value resorts at Walt Disney World is Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort! This is where my mom and I stayed in October and it was so much fun! It’s been newly renovated, and the movies theme is perfect for kids and adults. 🎥🍿
It’s a beautiful day here at Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort! We have enjoyed staying here in the newly renovated rooms, and we’ve been here during the refurbishment of the lobby. ✨🎬🍿 Today we’re headed to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, then late tonight, we will fly to Dallas! It’s supposed to storm here today, so there may be some updates about that later. 😬
I was so excited to see this store! I’ve been to an M&M’s store before, but I LOVE seeing all of the different colors! What’s your favorite kind of M&Ms?

What will I be looking for at Walt Disney World this week?!
I stayed one night at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort last month, and I loved it! It’s one of Disney’s moderate resorts, and it’s such a beautiful place. 10/10 would recommend. 💯👏🏻
Christmas shopping? No thanks 🙅🏻♀️ Vacation instead? Absolutely 🙋🏻♀️ Aulani, a Disney Resort and Spa offers guests a Hawaiian vacation with a touch of Disney magic. The resort has multiple pools and activities, and it sits right by the ocean so you can enjoy time at the beach too. Take in a luau, snorkeling or something else while vacationing on Oahu! 🌴
Want your business to be the top-listed Travel Agency?
I first went to Walt Disney World in 2008, and have gone about 10 times since then, including spending a semester in Orlando working with the Disney College Program in 2015. In 2019, I took my first trip to Disneyland with my Mom, and I loved it. Over the years, I have been asked so many times what my tips are for going to the parks, whether about what the best options are, dining suggestions and more. So after some research into travel planning, I finally joined Keys to Dream Travel in October 2019. I hope to use my knowledge of Disney and other destinations (Italy, Vegas, Portland, DC, etc.) to help provide you with the best vacation. I will help you every step of the way, and my services are completely free, so I can relieve the stress of planning a trip and give you a relaxing vacation!
