After learning what I learned today, I’m pretty sure I’m gonna stick with Casper the friendly ghost 👻

Who on here enjoys 👹Scary movies, 👻Haunted Houses, and 🎃fall festivals??

What if you could combine it all into one giant event?

That is precisely what you get when you go to Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Orlando!

Personally I am not a scary movie 🤡or haunted house 👻type of person (I think the last time I went thru a haunted house. I may have peed my pants, just a tiny bit.) But what I learned today totally blew 🤯me away, and I can’t wait to share it with those of you who want the ultimate Halloween horror experience.👹🎃💀🎃👻🎃

Seriously people I had absolutely no idea how scary this event is! 💀💀

If you are looking for details on the Halloween Horror Nights event at Universal Studios Hollywood, message or email me at [email protected]

Being a Shriner doesn't end at "Having Fun, Helping Kids" they also get to be a part of the families lives who children are taken care of at Shriners Hospital.

Today I got to witness this young man do just that. Hunter Clanton was able to help out a family by driving one of our Shriner families to their dr appointment. He tells me it was not only fun but heartwarming as he listened to their story and the little one in the truck giggle and sing along to the Disney songs.

So proud that he has chosen to follow in his grandfather's and father's footsteps as a Shriner. r

Have questions about how you can go to Disney on a budget? Where will you stay? What will eat? What is this thing called Park Hopper? How do you get around to all the parks? What is this thing called the Disney Bubble???

Save the Date: July 31st at 6:30pm come learn about all these questions and more! I will be hosting a Snack and Learn at the White Hall Masonic Lodge.

There is absolutely NO OBLIGATION to purchase anything...this is just an informational session. In fact there will be opportunities to win DISNEY swag for those in attendance.

Disney is booking out into 2025 and has been dropping some incredible deals!

07/11/2024

Staying in the Disney bubble is a true immersive experience. I know I may be 52 years old but I will never let myself think I am too old to remember by childhood and Disney is a place where I don't have to act like I am old.

Whenever I catch sight of one the Disney buses wrapped in various Disney characters or walking out of the resort and seeing the gigantic characters, it never fails to bring a smile to my face. 🙃

The larger than life characters on the buses and at the resorts are just a small part of the experience that I will always look forward too as I begin my Disney day adventure.

07/11/2024

A big 'ol THANK YOU to all who gave me a Birthday shout out! 😊 It has been a great day and reminder of how truly blessed 😇😇I am. Many have reached out about booking trips and I can't wait to share my excitement of vacationing with ya'll.

Looking forward to being able to give to others in the upcoming year!

It's my birthday and time to give!🎂

I recently visited Disney World with the owners of Out the Door Travel. We had the best time and I got to experience things I had not experienced. 🪇Some would think after spending so much time at Disney I would have done it all, but not even close.

🎠That is what I love. Each time I go there is always new experiences.

⛱When I signed on as travel agent I really had no idea what it would involved. I literally jumped in headfirst and have not looked back. I am now at my 6 month anniversary of being with Out the Door and loving it.

So many people and organizations have blessed us over the years and I always want to be able to give back some way in . I think I found the way as A very BIG goal of mine is to be to gift a Disney trip to a family BUT for now I will start with giving away a $50.00🥳 Disney Gift card** to a new clients who book with me during the month July. This doesn't mean you have to go in July, you can go anytime between now and October 2025.

Now for those wanting to go on a cruise or all-inclusive to Sandals or Beaches I will gift a $50 amazon gift card**. Same thing, you have to book in July, but you don't have to go in July. You can travel anytime between July 2024 and October 2025.

**The gift cards will be given the week before you travel.

Soooooo..who is ready to pack their bags and let me help you get "Out the Door" on your next vacation?✈️

07/09/2024

It's my birthday and anniversary month and I love presents...BUT what I love MORE is "giving to others". Watch for my Out the Door Travel post tomorrow and the rest of the month as I will be celebrating by giving away gift cards to my favorite place to visit!

TAKE the TRIP and MAKE THE MEMORIES

The seasons of life ebb and flow and I have recently tried to ebb and flow with it, but dang there are some hard days. November 25, 2023 was a day of spent with community members at our local Christmas in Park. That day I talked to several friends who I had not seen for years, watched childrens' eyes light up when they saw Santa and Mrs. Claus, participated in the first annual decorate a Christmas tree contest/auction, helped Lions Club give away toys to children, and then walked down mainstreet dressed up in a Grinch onesie handing out goodies and candies in the Christmas parade. Little did I know my life would be turned upside down in just a few short hours.

I do love a good social media post and seeing what everyone shares. Some make laugh, some make cry, some just simply make my heart swell with pride. If you follow me you may have noticed or not noticed that I haven't said much about that evening. That evening my heart was ripped out of my soul as I got the call from my sister and then my son that our house was ablaze and consumed in fire. The hurt and pain as I realized I had just lost my "soul dog" our black lab, Tack was indescribable. Tack was a dog I literally rescued out of our fence one summer afternoon. He was just a pup and soon became my protector, my ride or die in the side by side, my snuggle buddy, the click of his paws on the wood floors, the nudge my hand for a rub on the head, the run out to my car when I get home dog, the I will love you forever. That night the last time I saw him he was sitting in "his" with his head on the arm, I turned around to shut the door and as he looked at me I told him what I was always told him "I will be back, I promise, I love you: and then shut the door. Two hours later he was gone. I could see the flames from out in the country as we speeded into town, I knew then the time had come for Tack to cross the Rainbow Bridge. Eventually that evening there was a silver lining...my maltese, Daisy, was rescued from the basement and had survived. Many people showed up that night and the days following- local and out of town rescue personnel, family and friends. We will never be able to say enough how THANKFUL we are.

Today was a hard day but I know there will be more good days than bad days. Six months later I sit here after reflecting on those moments, that day, the week before with my kids and sister in Florida. Something I wished had we had done when we started traveling with our kids....Taken more pictures and made sure I (mom) was included. Then written a caption for each picture.

I challenge you to take the picture, live in the moment and choose experiences over stuff. Since I have started my business of being a travel advisor I have chatted with a grandmas, sisters, aunts, moms and dad who all say they don't have the time or believe they cannot afford to go to travel to places like Hawaii, Colorado, Cruising, Disney. I thought the same thing and then I had to clean out my burned house and discovered I was a consumer of all things, I was an impulse buyer and had WAY TOO MUCH! After having to carry it out all, 100+ loads of laundry, wiping down of stuff I was OVER IT. Now instead of "buying all the things" when I am out and about I walk around the store put stuff in my cart tally up how much it would cost and then walk back around and put the stuff back. I then transfer that money into a savings account that I call "Experiences and Memory Making" . You too can do the same thing ..even if is a $1.25 item from the Dollar Treek small bits add up. You TOO can afford it, it just take planning and that is what I am here for. The absolute best part is my SERVICES are FREE!

What is one thing you could do TODAY to help you create EXPERIENCES and MAKE the MEMORIES? If you read this far I promise tomorrows post will be a happy post. 😀
