CHARACTER MEET & GREETS ARE BACK ON DISNEY CRUISE LINE! ✨

Starting August 29, all traditional character meet and greets will be back. I am just a very lucky person who is on the only cruise in the fleet right now that has the meet & greets we all remember & love. 💕

I had a wonderful time talking frying pan self-defense with Rapunzel and beignet recipes with Tiana this morning. I’m excited to see what other friends I will find around the ship today!

Happy Embarkation Day! 🚢 ✨

Stay tuned & follow me while I take you on my trip aboard the Disney Dream the next few days.

Let’s talk covid testing & cruising!

Right now, a lot of cruise lines are rapidly changing their testing and vaccination requirements. But many are still requiring proctored Covid tests.

Did you know that for many of these cruise lines, you can use your own antigen tests and then pay for a proctoring service? $16.99 for an appointment via Zoom and you provide your own test. This is a great, cost-efficient way to test prior to a cruise if your cruise line allows it!

T-3 days until I’m sailing away. Stay tuned with me here. I’ll be sharing my travels. 🚢

I know travel can be stressful for some. So let's talk about one of my FAVORITE ways to help ease the stress a bit:
TSA PreCheck ✔️

✈️ TSA PreCheck is a program offered through TSA that allows for you to have expedited screenings at airport security. What does this mean? A lot of times, it means you can leave your shoes on, your liquids & electronics in your bag, and no need to remove your belt or jacket!

✈️ It REALLY speeds up the process! On average, the wait time at security is less than 5 minutes with TSA PreCheck.

✈️ Each adult needs to be approved for TSA PreCheck to go through. BUT - kids under 12? They can join the PreCheck line with any parent who has PreCheck!

So, how do you get TSA PreCheck?

✈️ First, you apply through the TSA website. It's a really simple online application.
✈️ When you apply, you schedule an in-person appointment that includes fingerprinting and a background check.
✈️ Pay $85 at the end of your in-person appointment.
✈️ If the TSA approves you, you're now good for 5 years and are assigned a Known Traveler Number (aka KTN!).

When you are assigned a KTN, you input it on your flight booking information, and it is highlighted on your boarding pass. This is what gets you access to the special security screening.

Do you have TSA PreCheck? I bought it a few years ago (it's almost time for my renewal!) and I swear by it. I am so glad I did it!

Did you know that when you book with me, you get some exclusive perks from Universal you wouldn't otherwise get by booking on your own? 👀👀

Booking with me means that for all Universal tickets, you get EARLY PARK ENTRY into either Volcano Bay or The Wizarding World of Harry Potter for every day of your ticket. That is a HUGE jump start on the crowds and something you ONLY get by booking with a travel agent. 😌

I don't know about you all, but I could REALLY use a vacation where I'm just relaxing on the deck of a cruise ship while soaking up the sun... how about you?

And this, my friends, is why you should use me as your travel agent. 😉

Let ME be the one who waits on hold for 4 1/2 hours - because seriously, do you have the time for that?

Don’t forget my services are free. 😚

Have you ever considered an Alaska cruise? Alaskan cruises are insanely popular due to some areas of Alaska only being accessible via land or sea. You will get some of the sights of your life going on an Alaskan cruise! I'm talking glaciers, tons of wildlife (August is prime whale-watching season!), and a lot of natural history.

Right now, Celebrity is offering up to $800 their Alaskan Cruisetours for 2023! What is a cruisetour? Well, you start off with a cruise and then finish with Celebrity on land, where you tour around Alaska some more with the same amenities you would have on the ship otherwise. Oh, and don't forget with Celebrity - all drinks, wi-fi, and tips are included in your fare.

Check out the following itinerary:
🚢 9-Night Alaskan Cruise on the Celebrity Millennium
🐋 Stops include Ketchikan, Icy Strait Point, Juneau, Skagway, Hubbard Glacier, Seward, and sailing the Inside Passage!
🌲 Once that is done, you will disembark in Seward and will be whisked away to Anchorage, where you then end up at Denali.
You then will get to enjoy a Denali natural history tour, before you spend the night in Anchorage and head back home.

I mean, how great is it being able to have an entire vacation planned with ONE booking? And don't worry about having to spend the time on the phone or online to ensure everything is just right - that's why you have me. 😄

You have until the first week of August to take advantage of this awesome promo. Email me!

🚢 5-Day Eastern Caribbean from Miami - stops include Amber Cove, Grand Turk, and 2 fun days at sea!
🚢 Oceanview Stateroom... AND this comes with a free room upgrade, as well!
➡️➡️ $637.86 per person - this includes taxes, fees, & port expenses!

Right now, deposits are 💥 50% off 💥 - so the only deposit needed for this is $150! Final payment would not be due until October, giving you plenty of time to make payments on it and budget for your getaway. But don't forget - everything you really need on your cruise will be paid for with your fare.

Why not kick the new year off with a vacation? You deserve it. 🥰

So I know you’re probably asking, why should I use a travel agent? I get it. Booking online is made easy by websites and apps. But trust me - there’s value behind using one of us. I know you can do it on your own but it doesn’t mean you should have to. 😉

1. First up - my services are FREE. Zero cost. No hidden anything - promise. I am paid by the suppliers. By booking with me, you’re paying the same price you’d pay by booking on your own with them; heck, sometimes I can find promos that are exclusive to travel agents, even. But - you have me right there alongside you helping you through the entire process and finding the best price.

For example, if you book a Disney trip at full cost and a few months later they release a promo, I’m gonna be on the phone with Disney to see if we can apply it to your trip. That’s part of my free services.

2. I save you time and stress, and that’s invaluable. We are knowlegable in the travel industry to help find you the perfect destination. Are you looking for a family cruise? I know which cruise lines work best for what you’re looking for. Are you looking for a couples getaway? Let's talk, I have ideas! Off-the-beaten-path destinations? I know a lot about those, too!

3. We are detail oriented. This means EVERY detail is planned out. We make sure all of your needs are accommodated, even those that you may not have thought about. We know that our clients are individuals, not just a number, and each vacation is tailored for them. Tell me what vibe you’re going for, and I will put together an itinerary for you.

4. Vacations are expensive. I get that. It’s an investment. We work with all types of budgets, and make sure that every vacation is well-planned and memorable. Most trips are flexible. I’m always happy to talk finances and what payments can look like!

5. We are travel professionals. We are connected in the travel industry and are always learning. I love to learn. I especially love to learn about travel. So I take as many courses as I possibly can. This means we are up to date with all that is happening with the industry to better assist our clients.

Just booked a last minute trip to Walt Disney World for a super awesome family! They’re staying at one of my absolute favorite resorts - Disney’s Pop Century Resort.

A lil Pop Century tip: If you find yourself in the lobby to the resort at certain times throughout the day, you may be lucky enough to dance The Hustle with the cast members. They play it over the loud speaker and love to get everyone involved. 🤓

Don’t forget Disney+ subscribers can get up to 25% off room rates at WDW thru September! Message me if you’re interested in a quote. ⭐️

So… uh. If you needed another reason to use an experienced travel agent with LOTS of Disney experience… *gestures broadly* 🤪

Packages are a hotel stay at WDW with theme park tickets. What’s awesome about this is they only require a $200 deposit, and you can make payments on them! So they’re far more flexible than a standard reservation.

👻🎃 Boo To You! 🎃 👻

Just booked tickets for some of my clients to enjoy Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party for their trip in October! Tickets went on sale for the party today, with dates starting in August and going through October!

Have you ever been to the Halloween party? It’s easily one of my favorite offerings Disney has. It is worth every penny, for sure. It has the best parade, fireworks, characters in their Halloween costumes, and trick or treating - for EVERYONE (adults too!)

🍭🍬

Happy Travel Tuesday! ✈️🏖

My clients put their final payment down today on their reservation, which means they are officially off to the Dominican Republic in July!

They’re going to be staying at the Bahia Principe Luxury Ambar and I’m incredibly jealous.

This is an adults-only all-inclusive spot (WITH butler service!) on Bavaro Beach, and ugh - how stunning is this? 😍
