Platinum Mouse Vacations by Charity

01/23/2025

“At the beginning of January, we took our first ever family vacation to Disneyland. We put off taking a vacation because along with many severe food allergies, we also deal with asthma and mast cell activation. It all felt so heavy and I never imagined we could make it happen, but Charity made our dreams come true! Not only did she hold my hand the entire process, but she empowered me and made me feel so, so supported. From phone calls, to texts, to sending resources, to guiding me through menus and safe foods, she was incredible! I cannot recommend her enough. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Charity! You are an angel on earth! We can’t wait to plan our next Disney vacation with you! 🎉💕”

🥰 I woke to this heartfelt review from a sweet client this morning! This one felt close to home to help plan as I understand the trials of what makes doing these things real. But when she reached out initially, I knew it could be successful. ❤️- it did take some extra steps like working with the resort regarding deep cleaning the room and what was going to be used, but they were fabulous about it!
Thank you Sarah for the kind words! They mean the world. I can’t wait to help your sweet family plan your next adventure.

⚕️Not travel related but this is SO important and such a great opportunity for you to share with schools!
Neffy, the new needle free epinephrine option (it’s a nasal spray), has just launched a free program for K-12 schools so they can have unassigned epinephrine on hand in case there are allergic reactions at school in children not yet diagnosed with food allergies (1 in 4 food allergic reactions at school are in children with no history of previous reactions!) or if medication happens to be unavailable.

Also, if you weigh over 66lb and have been prescribed epinephrine, you can ask your doctor about Neffy! We’ve found it to be extremely small and portable with an available carrying case, more temperature stable, and an extended expiration period of 24-27 months. 🤗

ARS Pharmaceuticals Launches neffyinSchools Program Providing Free Life-Saving Needle-Free Epinephrine For Emergency Use to Eligible K-12 Schools

Participating schools will receive two cartons (four doses) of neffy at no cost, with replacement doses available as needed. This program aims to ensure schools are equipped to respond effectively to severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis.

Registration for an upcoming webinar for school administrators and nurses TOMORROW, January 22, 2025, can be found here:

🍿Happy National Popcorn Day!

This is one of our family’s favorite treats in all of the parks and on Disney Cruise Line! We’ve found it to always be safe for our allergies, which are many and include dairy!
There are refillable buckets that are available too and only cost around $2 to refill!

There are so many different ways to experience Disney Parks! ✨
Just in the last couple of weeks, I’ve helped clients:

⛳️ A family where the dad and college-age son started each morning of their Christmas Walt Disney World vacation playing golf! A 9-hole, Par 36 course was included with their park hopper tickets. They’d meet up with mom for afternoons and evenings in the parks, and the son even celebrated his 21st birthday at EPCOT with friends! 🎉 They stayed at Port Orleans Riverside, a pet-friendly resort with beautiful walking paths and a short boat ride from Disney Springs.

🎆One enjoyed the New Years holiday enjoying sunny Florida and added in a few amazing park days hitting the attractions, shows, and delicious food celebrating her birthday with her family! 🎂

🏰 Another family enjoyed their FIRST family vacation ever at Disneyland, staying in a villa at the Disneyland Hotel. With a kitchen in their villa, they were comfortable having a plan for meals but were thrilled to make memories and eat safely in the park. The accommodations and proximity to the parks made it so special, and they were already talking about their next trip on the drive home! 😭

🚡 A multigenerational family stayed at the Caribbean Beach Resort at WDW, a hub for Skyliner transportation. They loved park hopping and enjoying safe, delicious meals! With multiple food allergies, intolerances, and preferences to consider, I tapped into my network of Platinum Mouse agents to ensure they had the best dining recommendations! 😋

🦴Right now, I have a couple staying at the pet-friendly Deluxe Yacht Club Resort with their pup, who gets pampered each day at Best Friends Pet Hotel while they maximize their park time with the new Lightning Lane Premier Passes. ⚡️They’ve got fabulous meals planned and an Enchanted Extra at Savi’s Workshop for lightsaber building! The convenience of walking distance to EPCOT and the nearby Skyliner to Hollywood Studios is the icing on the cake!

🤔 What kind of Disney trip can I help you plan?

🎂We celebrated Will’s 16th Birthday this weekend!
Happy Birthday to our baby that’s not so little anymore. 😂😅 It’s okay though. We’ve had three milestone birthdays in our house this last year (21, 18, and 16) and realize how fun this new season is.
Some throwbacks to our fun we had this summer together!

😢Had to say, “Sea ya real soon!” to our new friends from the Disney Treasure this morning but were welcomed by this great reindeer in the port.

We passed the few hours before our direct return flight home with a stop at the Grand Floridian Resort for lunch and to see the spectacular Christmas
decorations including the life size gingerbread house put together by those amazing Disney chefs! 🧑‍🍳✨

Hopping on a boat to peek at Magic Kingdom and a monorail to Polynesian Village was the perfect way to round out our afternoon.

Day 3 was full of exploring but started with some relaxation in the Rainforest Room and then a beautiful stop at Disney’s private island in the Bahamas, Castaway Cay. 🌴
Our team spent a lot time exploring food allergy options and talking with the cast members about how they handle special needs.
We got to enjoy the spectacular Beauty and the Beast production tonight followed by dinner at World of Marvel and a special treat of chocolate soufflé in Palo. 🧑‍🍳
I’m again reminded that is the people that make these experiences so incredibly special!! 💕
