My family and I made our triumphant return to the happiest place on earth after 2 years away!

I can answer all your questions on Genie+, mask policies, Covid policies, where to find some characters, and what to do when the airline cancels your flight and won’t rebook you until the next day 🙃

It was so so great to be “home” and I can’t wait until the next trip!

The Hyatt Chesapeake Bay in Cambridge, MD is a peaceful resort just two hours from Philly! This is a great option for families looking to getaway but maybe not quite ready for air travel.

They have multiple pools (indoor and outdoor), mini golf, basketball, tennis, frisbee golf, beach volleyball, several bars and restaurants. The resort sits right on the marina with water sports and rentals available.

Accommodations include updated hotel rooms (connecting available), family suites with bunk beds, and one/two bedroom suites.

If you’re looking to escape for a few days, this may be exactly what you need! Message me to get booked!

To our friends and family:

You may have not heard much from many of us lately, and being in the travel industry in the midst of an international health crisis is a clear reason why. We've been so busy working with our guests to ensure they are taken care of, their trips canceled or modified, and that all of their questions are answered as quickly as possible.

This is a dark time for many, and yet we are reminded that there are brighter days yet to come. We are hopeful that you are enjoying the small moments of the slower pace of life during all of this.

Throughout this process, you have been so supportive, and our KTTC family has been so supportive of one another. We are so grateful for the love and support as we muddle through and quite frankly head "into the unknown." Yes, cue the Frozen 2 song in your head!

Providing our guests with the utmost attention during these trying times is what we do naturally. However, it's been realized through many of your responses to us, that this is what sets us apart from others, especially those discounted websites or large big box stores who sell you bulk paper towels, but also trips. We thank you, we thank you for your support yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

Please stay safe, and healthy; and remember us when you are thinking about your next trip.

Best,
Todd, Chris, Amy, Laura, and the KTTC Family of Travel Advisors

“So, if I can book the trip myself and get the same price as you, why would I use a travel agent?”

⬆️ This question is one we hear a lot! It’s not just about ensuring you have the best deal, but it is also providing you a single point of contact who will do all of the dirty work for you- make modifications, wait on hold for sometimes hours, and ensure the fine details are taken care of. We firmly believe booking with us adds value to your overall experience, and because we believe this, we work hard - always - for our guests.

“So, what’s the catch? How much do I owe you?”

⬆️ This is the best part! We are 💯 percent fee free! We don’t charge a planning fee, so all of our services are provided to you at no additional cost - no matter what you’re booking and where you’re staying. Too good to be true? Nope! We promise it costs you no extra- we are paid from our suppliers to ensure you have an extra special vacation.

‼️ Yes, that’s free concierge level planning for you before, during, and even after your trip ‼️

One of the top reasons to book through a travel agent is Promotional Monitoring. What is that, you ask? It means I keep an eye out for new promos that may lower the price of your vacation and make the calls to get them applied to you.

Today alone I saved a couple $510 on their Sandals Honeymoon, and saved another couple $800 and gave them a free upgrade on their Mediterranean Cruise. They didn't even know these deals were available - I just took care of it for them and then told them the good news!

Extra discounts in Disney gift cards at BJs! Buy in bulk and use them to pay off your entire Disney vacation (World, Land, Cruise, Aulani)! You can also use them to buy park tickets, for the dining plan, memory maker, restaurants, souvenirs - everything!!

Many credit cards have extra cash back this time of year as well so save even more money by paying strategically! Don’t have a BJs membership? You can get an online membership for $10 per year that gives you access to buy the gift cards at these prices. If you’re paying off a trip, it’ll be well worth the $10.

Just booked this gorgeous honeymoon for one of my 2020 Something You Brides! 7 nights in a Club Level Beach Front Room at the amazing Sandals Royal Caribbean in Jamaica!

Sandals Resorts are Luxury All-Inclusive Resorts that include all of the best premium, top level amenities and activities. These are adults only properties, but they also offer Beaches Resorts for families looking for that Luxury All-Inclusive vacation.

Who else needs to get one of these trips on the books?

Thanks to Happy Limousine Inc for the sweet upgrade for our ride to the airport! There's nothing like expecting a minivan and seeing this stretch limo pull up with your name on it! They had car seats available and the driver was trained to install them properly. The kids got to watch Wreck it Ralph 2 on the way to the airport which really helped ease the leaving Disney blues!

Good Neighbor Hotels are a list of Disney approved hotels that are off property but still come with perks! Guests staying at these hotels can still book Fast Passes 60 days out and take advantage of Extra Magic Hours. Many of the properties have shuttles that will take you to and from the parks as well!

This was our first trip staying off property at the Hilton Bonnett Creek Resort. We had a Disney view and were able to watch fireworks from our room! The resort had an amazing pool with a water slide and a lazy river which was great for a little downtime after three days of hitting the parks.

Disney has recently expanded their mobile order service to include more restaurants than ever. This service allows you to order your meals right from your phone via the My Disney Experience App, and pick them up without waiting in line! It's like a fast pass for food! Place your order while in line for a ride, and pick it up after you get off.

Skipping the line in Disney World is amazing - skipping the line when you're tired and hangry is priceless!

There are SO many dining plan hacks that I could do a week of posts just on this topic! This was our first time doing the dining plan and we went with the middle level - Disney Dining Plan. We ended up easily saving money by going with the plan for this trip. For us, doing one character meal made it beyond worth it.

This isn't always the case - it totally depends on your family and how/where you like to eat. This is something we can go through during the planning process and weigh the options for your group.

Happy Halloween!!! Today's tip is about Rider Switch. If you are traveling with a child who is unable to or does not want to go on an attraction that the rest of the group wants ride, you can ride swap!

For us, Bennett was too small to ride a few of the attractions the rest of us wanted to go on. Mark and I were able to take turns hanging back with him while the other took the boys on the ride, and then promptly swap once the other got off. The best part was that the boys got to ride BOTH times - once with Mark and once with me!

Just make a quick stop to the cast member by the ride entrance. They'll scan your magic band and you'll be good to go!

If you need multiple car seats and you're not traveling via Disney transportation (Bus, Monorail, Skyliner, Boat), the Minnie Van is the way to go. They come equipped with two car seats and the drivers are fully trained on proper installation. The drivers play Disney music and are knowledgeable about the parks and Disney in general. Just open the Lyft app and scroll over to Minnie Van. They'll pick you up right by the Disney buses.

My favorite tip is an oldie but the best! Did you know you can buy just about anything at Disney with a Disney gift card? You can pay for your room, park tickets, dining plan, or cruise. You can use Disney gift cards at shops, restaurants, in the parks, at the resorts, and Disney Springs.

So why is this so great? You can buy DISCOUNTED Disney gift cards and use them to pay off your trip! I've saved anywhere from 5-10% off our trips by using this trick which can really add up when it comes to Disney!

Here are some places to purchase Disney gift cards at a discount:

Target - 5% off with Red Card, 10% off at Red Card anniversary. Can be purchased online and emailed to you!

BJs - Regularly about 4% off but they run specials at different times of year where you can save 8% (Black Friday is usually a good sale). If you have a credit card that pays cash back, you can use that and earn additional money back. If you don't have a BJs membership you can buy an online only membership for $10 per year.

Sam's Club - Regularly about 4% off with the same perks of using a cash back credit card.

My family and I spent last week in Disney World! I am in full Disney mode so I'll be posting some of my favorite tips and tricks on navigating the happiest place on earth over the next few days. While this is our 5th trip to Disney since the kids have been born, we did many things differently this time and had new learning experiences!

Thanks for joining my page! I'm Allison and I'm a wife, a Mom of 4, a small business owner, Disney enthusiast, and vacation planner specializing in Honeymoons and Disney! I grew up going to Disney World almost every year and have continued that tradition with our own kids. I've been to Disney World over 25 times and counting, and it's safe to say I know all of the ins and outs of planning your dream Disney vacation! Before having kids, my husband and I did quite a bit of island hopping, with our favorite trip being our honeymoon to Hawaii.

Leading up to our honeymoon, I hardly even thought about Hawaii and had no time to do any research as I was completely consumed with planning our wedding. The thought of our honeymoon was an added stress rather than an exciting adventure and I find that this is a common theme with couples these days. My goal is to give you the honeymoon of your dreams that you don't need to stress over! You can be completely involved in the planning, or you can choose to be totally hands off and enjoy the surprise of what's in store. Once you return, I'm happy to plan your anniversary trips, family vacations, and those Disney trips that will eventually follow!
