Pro-tip: Disney's best-kept 'secret' promotion is to book your vacation EARLY.

In my experience over the past couple of years, booking early is a discount in and of itself.

The prices usually rise throughout the year (tickets are date-based now, too, just like resort rates) & by the time promotions are released, your early booking price is often LOWER than the discounted price.

It’s the best Disney World promotion out there, especially if your travel dates are not flexible. I'm going to call it: "the early bird gets the world" promo!

But that being said, if a promotion is released for your trip dates after your vacation is booked, I would absolutely apply it, if there is availability & it saves you money. I am always making sure you are booked at your best price.

And remember you don't pay in full at time of booking. When you are ready to book, you will need to put down a $200 deposit. That $200 deposit is 100% refundable up to 30 days before you travel. There is no risk to book early, only gain!

Who else remembers Magic Eye pictures or Stereograms? I used to LOVE these!

Here’s how to see the hidden image:
- Relax & allow your eyes to go out of focus
- Look behind the image. Personally, I like to slowly move the picture away from my eyes while keeping them relaxed & out of focus, concentrating on the image.

Parents, by a show of hands, who else is intimated of taking children on a plane? 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️

If you too are nervous about air travel with children, here are some tips that helped me manage her first flight:

1️⃣. Book an Early Departure: When I first mentioned to people that Finley's 1st flight experience would be at 5:45 AM in the morning, the expressions I received were priceless. While early departures aren't for everyone, they do come with their advantages, such as a less crowded flight & an improved punctuality, both of which are definite pluses when traveling with kids!

2️⃣. New Toys & Surprises: I know that your kid's toybox is probably overflowing with toys, but consider buying a brand new small toy prior to travel & introducing it during the plane ride. Children love surprises & it'll keep them entertained more than an older toy that they already have.

3️⃣. Consider an Airline that Assists with Family Travels: Some Airlines assist families flying with children, such as Southwest! Southwest provides Family Boarding, a service tailored for families with children aged 6 and under. This allows these families to board between Groups 'A' and 'B, ensuring they can settle in on the plane before other passengers.

4️⃣. Dress Smartly: Think about dressing your kids in layered clothing since airports and planes can get chilly and uncomfortable if you're unprepared. Even if you're headed to a 90-degree destination, the plane itself may not be as warm, making a sweatshirt a practical choice!

5️⃣. Be Flexible: Let's face it - children are unpredictable & traveling with children is even MORE unpredictable. PLEASE don't stress if your little ones act out or your baby cries during the plane. It happens to us all & you aren't alone. Remember, those around you are more understanding than you think.. & if they're not, chances are you'll never see them again 😉

In the world of family travel, it truly takes a village to make the journey a more smoother & enjoyable experience for all!

What is "Club Level" at Disney World?

Very simply put, “Club Level” is a room categorization at some Disney hotels that comes with access to a exclusive perks, most importantly access to a lounge with food & beverage (including alcohol) options throughout the day.

While there are other privileges to staying Club Level at a Disney resort, like dedicated staff to help you, the option to pay extra for extra Fastpasses, etc...the main perk, in my opinion, is the food/drink lounge.

Up until the last several years, the only Disney resorts that offered Club Level were Deluxe level resorts.

Then the Tower at Coronado Springs Resort, a moderate resort, opened and everything changed.

The Tower offers Club Level rooms at a budget-friendly rate that include a gorgeous food/drink lounge, plus all the other benefits that come along with Club Level stays at Disney World. And the views of Epcot, Hollywood Studios, & Disney Springs are breathtaking!

It sure is! 🥰

She might not remember meeting her favorite character, but I always will.

I'm going to let you in on a little secret - There is no "right" age to go to Disney.

Whether they're just starting to walk or on the cusp of adolescence, every age brings its own kind of magic to a Disney adventure.

Children will never get younger, so embrace the present & cherish the time you have with them.

Don't wait for the perfect moment; create those precious memories now.

I promise your future self will thank you.

Whether they're 1 or 17, take the trip. Make the magic. Create the memories.

If you've ever been on a cruise, you know just how small your stateroom can be. While staying organized can be hard (even for the most avid-sailors), I have a pro tip that's sure to help you out on your next sailing!

💡 Travel Advisor Pro Tip: The walls of your stateroom are made of steel, which means they're magnetic! Make sure to purchase some magnetic hooks & pack them with you as they're a great tool for organizing your cabin. If you search "Cruise Hooks" on Amazon, you can find bundles of hooks for pretty cheap! Hooks are great for holding items such as lanyards, bathroom towels, swimwear, purses, hats, & more.

It's unfortunate that in our world, we tend to remember bad service more than good service. Hardworking individuals who go the extra mile often don't receive the recognition they truly deserve.

Within the last few years, Walt Disney World made giving a "Cast Compliment" SO much easier & I was delighted to have used it on our most recent trip!

While we were heading to the park for a dinner reservation, we got stuck on the Disney Skyliner in the middle of a horrible storm. In result, we had to get off the Skyliner at a nearby resort to then catch a bus to get to the park. By the time we got off the Skyliner & walked to the nearest bus stop, we were SOAKED.

Upon boarding our Disney Bus, our driver couldn't help but notice how soaked we all were, including my 1-year-old daughter. In response, he generously fetched a stack of warm towels, not only to dry her off but also to keep her snug as the air conditioning had her shivering. Just before our journey concluded, he thoughtfully distributed ponchos to those in our group who were without them. Once we stepped into the park & found shelter, I promptly logged into my app to submit a "Cast Compliment," acknowledging him for his extraordinary dedication & going the extra mile!

If you encounter a Disney Cast Member who goes above & beyond during your trip, I highly encourage you to submit them a "Cast Compliment" too! Not sure how to do it? It's easy:
🔹 Log into your My Disney Experience App go to your Main Menu (the 3 parallel lines in the bottom righthand corner)
🔹 Scroll the whole way down to the bottom of the screen & select "Cast Compliment"
🔹 Follow the prompts to pass along your compliment!

Disney will do their best to locate the Cast Member so that they can recognize them for keeping the magic alive! To help them find the correct person, try making a mental note of the Cast Member's first name & hometown that's listed on their name tag as well as the date of the interaction.

Have you had a memorable positive experience with a Disney Cast Member - I'd love to hear it below! 🥰

Vacations are meant to be relaxing but sometimes when you're traveling with kiddos, relaxation just isn't in the cards.

Parents.. I'm going to let you in on a little secret - vacationing with kids CAN be relaxing if you choose the right vacation destination!

💡 Travel Advisor Pro Tip: Many major cruise lines & resorts offer Children Programs that are including in the cost of your vacation package. These supervised programs provide various forms of entertainment & activities, creating a fun & unforgettable experience for your children. While your children are having fun socializing with others their age, parents can relax & enjoy their time as well. It's a win-win!

If you're traveling with children & would like this option available during your trip, please make sure to let me know during the quoting process & I can find you the perfect vacation for your family!

Did you know that most cruise lines let you bundle prepaid gratuities into your cruise package? I personally prefer this option to avoid any surprises on your final bill at the end of your trip!

🚨 Heads up for those booked on Royal Caribbean: Starting November 1st, gratuities will increase by $0.50 per person per day. If you’ve booked before this date, you can still add prepaid gratuities at the current rates. If you're one of my clients and want to prepay your gratuities, just send me a message, and I’ll take care of it for you!

Moms & Dads - if you're planning to stay at a Value Resort at Walt Disney World, this Pro Tip may save yourself a future meltdown!

Did you know the Value Resorts offer both Standard & Preferred Rooms? While the rooms themselves may be similar, there’s one major factor that can make your trip a whole lot smoother - especially if you're traveling with kids!

Preferred Rooms are conveniently located closer to everything important - like the lobby, dining areas, & most importantly, transportation to the parks. That means less walking after a long day of fun. On the other hand, Standard Rooms are often a bit farther away, which might not sound like a big deal when you’re booking, but picture this: after a magical (& exhausting) day in the parks, the kids are tired, maybe a little cranky, & everyone just wants to get back & relax. Having a Preferred Room could save you from those extra steps when you need them least.

For families who want to keep things easy & avoid those "I'm too tired to walk" moments, a Preferred Room can make a world of difference. After all, a more relaxing vacation means happier kids AND parents!
