Latest updates from Walt Disney World this week!

Question you may be asking yourself……
“Why do I need to use a travel agent on a trip as straight forward as a Disney cruise?”

It does seem straight forward but I promise you’ll be happy you had help!

✨What stateroom type is best for us?
✨What about location on the ship?
✨When do I fly in? -WHERE do I fly in?
✨What do I need to prepare for before cruise?
✨How do I book excursions? When? Which ones?
✨What else do I need to pre-book?
✨When and where do I check in online?
✨How much luggage can I bring?

These are just some of the questions I get asked by my clients! Even the direct website is not 100% helpful as it’s a lot of info to sort through.

I make a very serious effort to experience these vacations, out of my own pocket, so that I can assist my clients in every aspect of their vacation because it’s important to me that your vacation goes smoothly. I feel the cost I incur is worth it to gain the most knowledge so I can answer all your questions accurately (and quickly!)

So, if you’re debating a Disney cruise, please reach out and let me help! I’d love to be the one to help make this incredible vacation happen for you!

✨ Plus, I offer Onboard Credit that you can use how you please!!

"🏨 Your Caribbean Dream Awaits at Sapphire Falls Resort 🌺"

Ready for a tropical adventure without leaving Orlando? Look no further than Loews Sapphire Falls Resort at Universal Orlando! This hidden gem will transport you to a Caribbean paradise the moment you step inside.

Imagine yourself surrounded by lush landscapes, with the soothing sound of cascading waterfalls in the background. The centerpiece? A stunning 15-foot tall waterfall that'll take your breath away! But that's just the beginning of your island escape.

Dive into the resort's crown jewel – the largest pool at Universal Orlando. With 16,000 square feet and over 313,000 gallons of crystal-clear water, you'll feel like you're swimming in your own private lagoon. Don't forget to admire the incredible stone turret staircase connecting the lobby to the pool area. It took nearly 70,000 stones to create this masterpiece!

As you explore, you'll uncover more hidden treasures. At the base of the staircase, you'll find a fascinating staged rum workroom. It's like stepping back in time, with authentic barrels, transportation vessels, and tools that showcase the art of aging rum.

From the tasteful, relaxed design to the imaginative touches throughout, every detail at Sapphire Falls is designed to immerse you in tropical bliss. You'll feel the Caribbean vibes in every corner of this island-inspired retreat.
