When is the perfect time to visit Disneyland? I get asked this a lot and my honest answer is always - September. Schools are back in session, so park attendance is low! You get the amazing Halloween decorations without the crowds! It’s truly perfect. If you have little ones, let’s plan a last minute trip to Disneyland for next month! You won’t regret it!!

Frozen Ever After is a favorite way to cool off on a hot summer day!!

Take a look at this Beachfront One Bedroom Butler Suite with Balcony Tranquility Soaking Tub! 😍

This room is located in the newly refurbished Longbeach Building at the quiet and luxurious Sandals South Coast in Jamaica.

I’m not sure what I love more, the half-circle bathroom or that balcony with the view and sailing tub! The entire room is gorgeous!

You have spent the entire summer taking care of your kids, let’s plan you a mom and dad getaway to celebrate the start of school!! 😉

It’s been a day! Our air is on the fritz, the mom-mobile needs a major repair, the dogs have been barking at birds outside all day … it’s time to plan a vacation! Good thing I know an amazing travel advisor! 😉

This picture perfect sunset taken at Disney’s Aulani in Hawaii checks off all the right boxes for a perfect vacation!! I love this resort so much!!

If you need a last minute getaway (five more weeks until school starts here) … Aulani has some great options! Hawaii is my favorite vacation destination! Let’s make it yours too!

Sail Away Sunday! 🚢

Sea days are my favorite days on a cruise because that’s when trivia happens around the ship. Almost every hour you can find some sort of trivia game being held and if you are like me and have a lot of useless knowledge in your noggin’ then you’re in luck!!

These lanyards are the equivalent of an Olympic Gold Medal on board. Well not really … but it makes me feel special! 🤣

Ready to win a Disney trivia medal of your own? There are lots of great cruise rates out for August and September! Let’s get you aboard a Disney Cruise!! Remember too, all DCL sailings get an onboard credit from me as a special gift!! (And no, you can’t use it to buy someone’s trivia lanyard from them … but you can buy a drink while you’re competing with it!)

07/20/2024

Donde esta Donald?

Head to the Gran Fiesta Tour starting the Three Caballeros in Epcot to find out where Donald went!

This attraction is a perfect way to beat the summer heat, especially with a margarita chaser! 😉

If you’re my client we already have your plan in place for the day and weekend! Flight delays such as today’s system wide outage ripples for days through the travel industry. What’s your plan when situations like this occur?

Sure you can book your trip on your own (for the same price) and you can use that discounted third site for your flights. However, you are now spending the day on the phone on long holds to reschedule your plans for your dream vacation. That discount site you used for your flight, well you have to call them for them to then contact the airline to then (hopefully) reroute your flight. In other words, you aren’t getting a different flight. They will just cancel on you and give you a credit to use with them again. The few dollars you saved just cost you your entire trip!

When you book with a TA, it’s already done. I already spoke with my clients and adjusted plans and put backup plans in place. This is the value of a TA. This is also why you get travel insurance!!

Do yourself a favor, let the travel PROFESSIONAL book your trip! You won’t regret it, especially on days like today! We’ve got your back, why not have ours??

07/18/2024

It’s National DOLE Whip Day! Let’s vote for your favorite way to enjoy it!

D) OG - I’m a traditionalist!

Cast your vote below!

I love when clients check in with me upon arrival to let me know how their travels went. The “S” family booked their trip last week for travel today and they are so happy to be at Walt Disney World. In fact, this photo was accompanied by the words ‘Peace❤️’ and their excitement to be headed to the theme parks with their 4-year old! They loved their view!

They will be calling the Contemporary Garden Wing home for the next few nights and enjoying that ease of travel to the Magic Kingdom and the excitement of the monorail!

Last minute trips are very popular this summer! Are you thinking of a last minute trip to the Magic of Disney? I am here to plan all the details so you can get away!

07/18/2024

The countdown is on!! Epcot’s International Food and Wine Festival arrives August 29th - perfect timing for Labor Day weekend plans!
