Steps to having the best morning on a Disney Cruise☀️

1. Enjoy a mimosa on your verendah🥂
2. Indulge in a speciality latte from Cove Cafe☕️
3. Meet princesses at the Royal Gathering👑
4. Have the best brunch of your life at Palo🤤

We had such an amazing start to our sea day full of some of my favorite things! All that could’ve made this morning better would’ve been a spa treatment (which I did the following day😉).

What would your perfect morning look like aboard a Disney cruise?

I wanted to share a few reasons I LOVED Disney’s Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point!☀️🌊🌺🌴

The new island destination has the most gorgeous and spacious beaches, and I loved how the adult-only beach was conveniently located by the family beach.

I also absolutely loved the Junkanoo celebration and overall presence of Bahamian culture! This made the island extra special!

I loved the food and drinks- They cooked us made-to-order steaks in the adult-only area, and the Eleuthera Euphoria (the dole whip cocktail) was soooo good😍🍍

I am still not over how blue the water is. I can’t lie, I actually enjoyed the long walk from the ship since it was seriously so beautiful! (Don’t fret if you have small children, there were wagons and strollers available right off of the ship).

If you have any questions, drop them in the comments!!

It’s a good, good, good, GOOD TIME!🚢⚓️

Let’s take it to the beginning with an embarkation day dump! There’s seriously no better feeling than boarding your ship and knowing you’re about to have the best vacation!😍

Here are some of my embarkation day tips:
☀️ Pack a bathing suit in your carryon! The slides and pool deck are open as soon as you board👙
☀️ Go to the spa raffle!! Even if you don’t win, you can often get a discount just for going!
☀️ Tour the kids clubs! There are open houses for all ages on embarkation day, so this is your opportunity check them out!

If you’re looking to sail with Disney, shoot me a message! I’d love to help you out!😀

According to science, starting your day lounging on your Disney resort balcony is key to having the best day ever❤️💫 (I am the scientist🐭)

How are there only 3 days til Christmas?!😮

Since it’s coming so soon, I figured I’d share some of the holiday cheer aboard Disney Cruise Line!❤️✨

When you sail on a Very Merrytime cruise, you’ll experience special holiday themed entertainment, characters, and decor (including a giant gingerbread house!!)😍

Right now, if you book a Disney cruise, you only need to pay half of your required deposit on the day you make your reservation. Drop a 🚢 in the comments if you’re hoping to cruise in 2024!!

Out at sea is my favorite place to beee🫧🐠🌊☀️🐚

I got some much needed sunshine and relaxation on the Disney Dream the past few days!⚓️

Our cruise was supposed to go to Nassau and Disney’s private island, Castaway Cay, but we got rerouted to Cozumel due to weather. Though we were SO bummed to miss out on Castaway, I was grateful we changed course and got some beautiful weather!☀️

Now I guess I’ll just have to go on another cruise to make up for missing our Castaway day😆

If you’re looking to sail away on a relaxing getaway, I’d love to help you plan it!☺️

It’s the most wonderful time of the year🎶😍🎄✨🎅🏼

Visiting Disneyland was the perfect way to get into the holiday spirit!❤️ From the parade, fireworks, ride overlays, decorations, special treats, and unique entertainment, there was no shortage of Christmas cheer!

Do you have any fun holiday plans this weekend? I feel like I have so many festive things I want to do here at home, but I’m still recovering from my trip (and getting ready to go away yet again😅)! Hopefully I can squeeze in watching The Muppet Christmas Carol while I pack!😆

A little over a year ago, I visited Disneyland for the first time. It was a time where I was feeling incredibly lonely living 2,500 miles away from my family and friends. When I arrived, it instantly felt like home despite being a new place so far away.

Now, a little over a year later, I’ve been back many times and it still feels like my home park (despite living back on the East Coast and being a Walt Disney World annual pass holder). This time was extra special getting to visit with coworkers and friends that love the parks as much as I do. We made some of the best memories together and I’m counting down the days til I get to see my genie fam again🥲

Though getting back to work this week has been a bit overwhelming, I’m feeling so grateful that I get to do what I love surrounded by the most amazing people🥹 If you’re looking to visit Disneyland and experience the magic for yourself, I would be honored to help plan your trip❤️

I can’t believe I get to see my bestie Mr. Toad in a few days😍😭 AND some of my favorite genies🥹

I’m SO excited to get into the holiday spirit at the most magical place! (Seriously no one does Christmas like Disneyland🤩) I’ll be revisiting some of my all time favorites (I’m looking at you Cars Land👀) and trying new things with ✨

I haven’t been as active on this account lately trying to soak up some much needed relaxation and family time before a ton of travel next month😅 BUT I can’t wait to share all the fun with you!!

Let me know your favorite Disneyland snack in the comments or something I should try!😋⬇️

You ain’t never had a Friend Like Me(lody)!!🧞‍♂️✨🩷

If you’re looking for ways to support a small business this holiday season, consider booking your next vacation with a travel agent! It costs exactly the same to book on your own through Disney as it does to book through me, and by not using an agent, you’re missing out on a complimentary service!😮 (I book most cruise lines as well, so if Disney is not your jam, that’s okay too😉)

If you’re not looking to plan a vacation right now, no worries at all! Sharing my posts or sending friends who want to travel my way is a great way to support and is seriously so appreciated!🥰

I am so grateful for each of you who have been following along and for my amazing clients who have trusted me to be part of planning their vacation! I can’t thank you enough!!

We are now approaching Disney’s Contemporary Resort🚝✨

I absolutely loved staying here for a weekend getaway with my genie friends!🩵 We wanted to stay at a resort close to the Magic Kingdom since we were attending Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween party, and this seriously couldn’t have been more convenient!🤩 At the end of the party, my feet were very grateful that our resort was so close😅

Aside from convenience, I loved the Incredibles themed rooms, making lots of visits to Steakhouse 71, watching the fireworks, and catching the monorail (my favorite form of Disney transportation) as it traveled through the building😍

Have you stayed here before? If there’s anything you want to know, let me know in the comments!!☺️

I’m making my triumphant return to Instagram after experiencing some technical issues the past week😅 But here are some updates I’ve been wanting to share now that I’m back!

I’ll be visiting the Disneyland Resort, heading back to Walt Disney World, AND going on a Disney cruise before the end of the year, and I’m beyond excited to share those adventures with you! (I also still have tons to share form my Halloween trip but we’re working on it)😂🫠

One good thing that came of my Instagram troubles is I’ve now entered my Tiktok era! I’ve been a lot more active over there lately, so be sure to go follow !!

Also.. can we talk about how empty Magic Kingdom is in these pics?! I love giving my clients the inside scoop on the best times to visit the parks to experience the lowest crowds and wait times! As always, head to the link in my bio when you’re ready to plan your next trip!💕

Dreaming of AKL💭🦒🤎🍃

Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge is such a unique resort! There is beauty around every corner and I was seriously blown away by all the details.😍 I can’t wait to be back one day!!

Everyone knows the best way to cure the Disney blues is to book another trip.. and with that I will be back this weekend🤣

Any guesses where I’m staying next?👀

✨Sparkling on Sunset✨

I feel like there’s a lot of debate on what’s the BEST land at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, with top contenders being Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge and Toy Story Land.. but sometimes we forget about a magical place that still carries the feeling of old MGM Studios.

Sunset Boulevard is home to two of my FAVORITE attractions at Walt Disney World, Tower of Terror and Rock n Roller Coaster.🤩 It’s also home to Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy, the classic Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage show, the beloved nighttime spectacular Fantasmic, AND the flagship attraction of the land, the Joffrey’s cart.👏🏼

Okay the Joffrey’s cart may not be THE attraction, but the sights and sounds (including a killer soundtrack) are better taken in with an iced coffee in hand.😍

In summary, if you’ve made it this far, I need justice for Sunset Boulevard in the best land of the park debate. Let me know if you agree😎

Lunch @ the Boathouse⛵️🐟⚓️✨

This is one of my family’s favorite spots to grab a bite at Disney Springs! The food, drinks, and vibes are spectacular🤌🏼

And.. if you’ve ever dreamt of taking an amphicar tour (the boats that look like vintage cars) you can get a discount when you eat here!🤩

❓Have you eaten at the Boathouse? Or are you adding this to your list for next time?!

It’s Spooky Season at the Magic Kingdom!!🎃👻🧡💀✨ I’m still in summer mode, but I do love the Halloween decor!

The best part of fall at the parks is definitely Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party!😍 Though I didn’t attend the party this trip, I’ll be back next month for Halloween fun with some fellow genies!🧞‍♂️💕 If you have any good costume ideas for us please let me know we need something good😂

A few dates are still available if you’re interested in going to the party! I am happy to look into availability and pricing for you!🤗

I will never be too cool for dressing up and going FULL OUT at Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party👏🏼 How could you NOT want a reason to dress as Kermit the Frog??

Don’t let the influencers scare you! Though it is a longer walk from the ship, that’s no reason to deter you from visiting Disney’s gorgeous new island destination! Now, I’m someone who enjoys walking (especially when there’s a view). From the ocean breeze to the Gatorade blue water, the 10 minutes of strolling was truly a relaxing time for me. I can totally see where it wouldn’t be as fun if it were 100 degrees and humid, but we lucked out with a gorgeous day! If you have small children or any mobility concerns, don’t fret! There were wagons, strollers, and golf carts for anyone who needed extra assistance. If you’re not used to the heat (or just hate sweating), I would recommend getting off the ship early to avoid walking while the sun is at its peak! Of course, the only drop of rain we had our whole vacation was the 10 minute downpour that happened during our walk back. Honestly, I couldn’t think of someone better than @theglutenfreetravelagent_ to laugh and dance in the rain with!! Bonus tip- If you’re a Swiftie, throw on All Too Well (10 minute version) and by the time it’s over, you’ll have completed your walk! (This tip has been scientifically tested and proven by @happilyeverabbyy😉) If you’re interested in visiting Disney’s Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point, I’d love to give you all the tips! Message me to set up a consultation call!😊 #disneycruise #dcl #disneycruiseline #lookoutcayatlighthousepoint #disneyinsta

I’m just trying to be a good travel agent guys! But honestly, what better way to get distracted than with some characters?🤭🩵 #disneycharacters #disneyinfluencer #disneytravelagent #disneytravelplanner #disneyresorts

This rainy weather really has me wishing I was out at sea! Anyone else?? This footage was taken aboard the Disney Dream, which might be my favorite ship in the fleet!🚢 I’ll be sailing on the Disney Magic for the first time this summer, and I can’t wait to see how it compares! I’m a huge Rapunzel fan, so I’m wondering if the Tangled dinner show on the Magic will win me over🤭 • • • • #disneycruise #disneycruiseline #disneytravelagent #disneygram #disneytravelplanner #cruisevacation #dcl

I will never say no to brunch.. or Lamplight Lounge😍 Though I still like the lunch and dinner here better, this is still my favorite restaurant on property!
