We also indulged in these amazing festival dishes in addition to the Liquid Nitrogen Frozen Sweet Potato Mousse (see prior post). Everything was 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼!

⭐️🌟⭐️She’s the STAR of the show! ⭐️🌟⭐️The best of the fest! This dish at EPCOT’s International Food & Wine Festival is getting rave reviews from literally everyone and I have to say…. Everyone is right!!! It’s the Liquid Nitrogen Frozen Sweet Potato Mousse!!

This dessert is flash-frozen in liquid nitrogen when you order it, and comes topped with candied pecans and maple-caramel sauce. The result is like an airy pumpkin cheesecake, lightly spiced and not too sweet. Some of the festival offerings are better enjoyed in cooler temperatures, but this is a great way to enjoy autumn flavors in the blazing Orlando heat. Get it at the Swirled Showcase at the entry to World Showcase.

Need a fun place to cool off, get some delicious food, AND meet these four cuties in their Halloween costumes?!? I highly recommend Hollywood and Vine at Disney’s Hollywood Studios! They’re here for lunch and dinner during the spooky season!

This character experience is buffet style and is full of so many items that will please kids and kids at heart! Also lots of yummy options for more mature taste buds. We loved that the characters spent SO much time at our table. 🧡🖤💜👻🎃

I don't sell Disney Cruise Line sailings - they don't need me to do that.

I don't sell Royal Caribbean, Carnival, Virgin, Princess Cruise Lines, or any other Cruise Line sailings - they don't need me to do that.

I don't sell Sandals or Beaches vacations - they don't need me to do that.

I don't sell all-inclusive destinations in Hawaii, the Caribbean and Mexico.

What I do sell..is me. 💁🏼‍♀️

So, hi! This is me - I’m Tammy 👋🏼
Wife, mom, and preferred travel advisor for so many wonderful people including all of the communities around Northern Illinois who trust me with their memories and have me the leading advisor in my area.

All of the above destinations sell themselves and also make it so easy to book on your own, but before you do…think about the hassle and time that YOU’RE going to have to spend modifying your trip if something comes up. Think about how every time you have a question, you’ll have to call an 800 number and get someone new each time or worse…. You might even have to chat with a robot in a chatbox!!

I take all of the hassle away for my clients.

I'm here to help with your vacation experience and enhance it. Maybe this is the trip of your lifetime - the one you've saved for for years, maybe this is the same trip you take every year...whatever it is, I'm here to make sure that you have the best experience you could possibly have from the planning through the end of your trip!

Working with me on your vacations will NEVER cost you any more than what you'd pay by booking on your own and you’ll get a direct line to someone (ME) who will be there for you from point A to Z ....and beyond.

I can't wait to work with you!

‼️Disney cruises and Walt Disney World vacations are not the same type of vacation‼️

I say this because I often have clients and clients-to-be that reach out and ask for one or the other as if they’re just interchangeable.

While they obviously both have the Disney name in common and the undeniable level of excellence in guest service, please always note that deciding to take your group on a cruise is much different than heading to Florida for some days in the parks and resorts.

Here are just a couple of the main differences;

💙 SHIP vs LAND! This goes without saying but obviously one is on the water, traveling on seas to foreign countries! If you are unsure about that aspect in general, stick to the parks until you feel ready. 😍
💙 DINING! DCL (Disney Cruise Line) is for the most part an all-inclusive food/soft drink experience. Once you step on the ship, you never need to pay once cent extra for any food or soft drinks.
💙 ACCOMMODATIONS! Staterooms are not huge by any means. While DCL does have some of the largest staterooms in the industry, please note that a family of 5 will be in tight quarters on a ship while in a Walt Disney World resort, you’ll typically have more room to spread out.
💙RIDES AND ATTRACTIONS! The ship itself and the ports that you stop at on your specific cruise itinerary are the attractions. If you have a family who is wanting to go on all of the themed rides in the parks, they won’t have that on a ship. Characters however, are everywhere! 🥰 There are also activities all day long on ships! So many that you will never be bored. They’re just not roller coasters! 😂
💙 PRICEPOINT! There is no way around it. Disney Cruises are not “cheap”. They shouldn’t be for everything guests receive. DCL is the leading family cruise line for many reasons and there is not one family who has ever stepped off a Disney cruise and regretted it. If you’re looking to spend $4,000-5,000 for your family to experience 5-6 days of magic, it’s probably NOT going to happen on a Disney cruise, while for sure we can do that on a Walt Disney World vacation. However, keep in mind that food and soft drinks are included so that is super important for some.
💙PROMOTIONS & CANCELLATION POLICY! There are very few promotions that pop up with DCL, while WDW typically has promotions out for most of the year. Cancelling a cruise vacation is a BIG deal and guests are subject to the loss of some or all of their total cost, while WDW is not the same at all.
💙 CHILDCARE!! There is outstanding childcare on Disney ships. It’s included in your cruise fare (for kids 3-up). This allows for adults to do their own thing for parts of the day and into the night. It’s a game changer! This is something that WDW doesn’t offer.

There are so many other things to consider and I’m happy to discuss them with you!! What other questions do you have?

The amount of happy DCL clients that I have is off the charts! I would love for you to become one too!

It’s scientifically proven that if your morning latte ☕️has Mickey on top of it, your day will be filled with more happiness and magic! Believe what you want, but I’m never wrong on these things. 😉

29/08/2024

Talk about romance! 💘 Which do you prefer? When you have a swimout room, you get them both every day and every night!! 🥰

27/08/2024

Did you know that I can book your OFF-SITE Disneyland hotels for your Disneyland (in California) vacation?!? This is much different than how things work in Walt Disney World! There are also onsite resorts but some like to save a little on the stay to indulge in the parks! 😉
