Happy New Year!!! 2024 was an amazing year for me- I had the opportunity to book so many wonderful vacations for so many wonderful people. Last year not only did I book vacations at Disney Parks around the world, I also got to work on trips for Universal, Disney Cruise Line, Celebrity Cruises, Princess Cruises, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, and so much more! This year I’m looking forward to continuing to help people plan their dream vacations. Additionally, I’m excited to be spending the next two months in Orlando! Because Disney and Universal are constantly evolving and growing, it’s important to have a travel agent who really keeps up with every new and exciting change. By being actively in Orlando, I can provide you with the most up to date information to insure you have a perfect trip every time. I’m also looking forward to cruising with DCL this year and hoping to check off another international park from my list as well! Is 2025 the year you finally book that vacation you’ve always dreamed of? Message me today and together we’ll create the perfect trip this year!

It also has much shorter wait times than we’re used to over in CA 🙂 Disney Studios also has one of the best restaurants I’ve ever experienced in a Disney park and that is Bistrot Chez Remy! Be shrunk down to the size of a rat and experience the world from the petit chef’s point of view. It is truly an experience not to be missed and some of the best park food I’ve ever tasted!

Got to check another castle off my list this week! I spent three days at Disneyland Paris and truly had the most magical time. One of the things that makes Paris so unique is the amount of walkthrough activities they have that are perfect for the entire family! We loved visiting Alice’s Curious Labyrinth, La Taniere du Dragon, and Adventure Isle and getting to go at our own pace through the attractions. They also have an entirely unique Haunted Mansion attraction called “Phantom Manor” and my favorite Pirates of the Caribbean ride I’ve ever experienced. Disney Studios is also not to be missed and the shows performed there are some of the most amazing entertainment I’ve ever seen! When planning an international Disney vacation, it’s so helpful to have a travel advisor who’s actually been to the location you’re visiting. Having someone on your team to make sure everything goes smoothly is crucial when you’re flying halfway across the world!
