It's National Cheese Pizza Day!

To celebrate, let me tell you about the best cheese pizza that you can find at EPCOT in Walt Disney World.

Via Napoli Ristorante e Pizzeria can be found in the Italy pavilion of the World Showcase. Serving up some delicious, traditional Italian entrees, they are best known for their pizza.

The Quattro Formaggi is a white pizza topped with the perfect amounts of Mozzarella, Provolone, Parmesan and Fontina. It's a family favorite!

Are you team cheese only or team all the toppings on your pizza?

Over the past couple of weeks, I have gotten so many inquiries about trips for the remainder of 2024. While a trip this year is still possible for most dates, there are a few things to keep in mind if you are still looking to book a 2024 trip:

1️⃣ Rooms move fast! If you are considering taking a trip, be ready to book quickly. Many dates only have a couple hotels left to choose from, and only 1 room type left. There have already been multiple situations where I have sent the quote and when I’ve gone back to book it minutes later, it is gone.

2️⃣ Consider how flexible your dates are. Sometimes shifting the check in or out dates by a day or two make all of the difference in availability.

3️⃣ Book as far in advance as possible - especially if you have a specific hotel or room type that you would like. Hotels like Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort are extremely popular and typically sell out months in advance. Booking for most of 2025 is open, and the earlier you book, the better (and I can always apply promos later if they are released).

4️⃣ I am so grateful to be at the point where I have clients traveling almost every week of the year. I spend a majority of my time servicing my clients and assisting them with plans. My job is 100% commission based, and I am only compensated AFTER someone travels and NEVER for quoting, cancellations and time I spend on something before the trip. I am always happy to help book and plan your trips, but please keep in mind this is how a travel agent business operates and be respectful of my time.

5️⃣ As I say often - I absolutely love my job! I always want to be very honest and clear about expectations and giving advice on how to make the most of your vacation, and planning ahead is definitely key!

Wands at the ready!

It’s back to Hogwarts Day! Have you experienced The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando yet?

My biggest tip for all of the Harry Potter fans - make sure you have a Park-to-Park ticket so that you can ride Hogwarts Express. Another tip - make sure you ride it BOTH ways as the experience is difference each way. 🚂

Today was the first day of school for my kids, so that has me thinking about…SCHOOL BREAKS!

Spring Break is one of my favorite times to vacation - the weather is typically a little more moderate (i.e. not as hot or rainy as the summer months) and it’s usually just what we need to get us through the rest of the school year!

Don’t fret about the crowds during Spring Break either. Just because it is YOUR Spring Break week doesn’t mean that the entire United States has Spring Break that week. “Spring Break” traditionally runs from mid-March through mid-April.

Not sure where you want to go over Spring Break? Let’s look at some options.

🏰 Walt Disney World
🚢 Cruise with Disney Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean or Carnival Cruise Line
🏰 Disneyland
🎢 Universal Orlando
🏝 Beaches Resorts
🏝 Sandals Resorts **recommend for teachers needing an all-inclusive, adult-only getaway

📕 Passports are required for Sandals and Beaches Resorts, as they are all located on the most beautiful beaches of the Caribbean.

🚢 Passports are recommended when cruising, but not required for most cruises.

28/08/2024

POV: You are on a Disney Cruise that stops at Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point, Disney Cruise Line’s newest island destination.

Imagine crystal clear water, pink sand, calm waves, and Bahamian music playing in the background.

💥 CONGRATULATIONS 💥 to a sweet family on booking their Fall Break vacation to Walt Disney World!

You could be next! Message me anytime to start planning your next vacation!
