Smile Destinations by Jess

On Wednesday, we explored Discovery Cove on a guided agent tour. Learning all about what's included (uhm, everything?) And enjoying this RELAXING and fun resort park!

Y'all, I've been SLEEPING on Discovery Cove! I had no idea the hidden gem we had here with this destination! It is an AH-MAZING all-inclusive day resort featuring a Aviary where you can feed the birds (and they land on you), snorkeling on a great reef, Dolphin experiences, breakfast and lunch (all you care to eat), complimentary snacks and drinks *including beer & wine! Optional add-on experiences are also available.

This resort did not feel crowded AT ALL, and we learned today that that's actually on purpose. The resort keeps a capacity each day to ensure a relaxing experience for all of their guests.

I cannot wait to go back as a guest myself!!

The photos and the recaps from the week are coming! I'm enjoying the week so far and have a couple more trainings to get through.

On Tuesday, we toured 4 Universal Studios hotels, had about 4 hours of training one on one about the parks, packages, and seasonal events, and then got to play in the parks for a few hours before they closed to experience some of the fun for ourselves!

I love meeting my fellow Smile Destinations agents in person and learning more about local Orlando parks to offer more in depth information about when booking with me! I'll share more of my adventures in the coming weeks so stay tuned!!

I set a goal for myself to book 10 trips by the end of the year. Does it sound like a lot? Probably not. But it's realistic for just starting out in this space. And if I blow the goal out of the water I'll adjust next year 😍

Whether you want a weekend getaway or an extended stay, I can help you book stays in a variety of places. From all Disney Destinations or Universal Studios, to Cruises or All Inclusive Resort stays, Great Wolf Lodge to Sesame Place... local stays or far away... basically anywhere in the world that you can imagine I can probably get you there 😉 now booking for 2022 and 2023 🎉

Don't have any travel plans yourself? You can still help!
1. Send friends and family my way if you hear of trips they'd like to plan.
2. Like, Comment or Share posts from this page
3. Tell me about places or travel options you'd like to learn more about!

Loving the interactive passholder magnet from Disney this month. Am I crazy for driving 3 hours to a friend's house to drive an hour further to get to Disney Springs just to get this magnet? Obviously. But that's what we do as Disney nuts. I hope they continue this fun series! ♡

Hiya friend! I'm so happy you found me!

Before I start getting crazy with posting all things Disney and travel on this account, I think I should introduce myself... I'm Jess and I'm a 30-something SWFL transplant originally from somewhere outside of Philadelphia PA. When I'm not working, I can typically be found at the beach soaking up the beautiful sunshine this state has to offer ♡

I'm a travel agent with Smile Destinations, an EarMarked Disney Travel Agency. I took my first trip to Walt Disney World when I was 4 years old and skipped all the way from the front gate to the castle in Magic Kingdom (there's video evidence of this somewhere I'm sure). Since then I traveled back to Walt Disney World a few times with my family and visited Disneyland California once. After moving to Florida in 2020 (the day everything shut down for Covid-19), all I wanted was to go to Disney as often as possible (while still living 3 hours away) as an Annual Passholder. Fast forward a year and a half to when Disney allowed for sales of Annual passes again I jumped right on it and have been going to one of the parks about once a month (sometimes more) since I got my pass. I love the magic of Disney and hope to bring it to your next family (or solo) vacation, whether it's to Disney or another destination.

A little about me outside of the travel agent thing - I love to read and binge watch Netflix shows that I've seen 20 times already. I have been a Girl Scout for 25 years (a troop leader for 7), and I work in a corporate office for my day job, and I love the company I work for. I like to steal (I mean... lovingly borrow) other people's babies, and then give them back when they've had enough sugar 😉

While being a travel agent isn't my full time job, travel is my full time passion. I'd love to do more of it myself, but for now I'm hoping through helping others plan their dream vacations I'll keep the travel bug alive and well in me 😉

Magical Wishes until next time!
