August 29- November 23

Do you have a trip booked during this time frame? If not… let’s get you booked!

I’ll be there twice!

23/04/2024

Why to book with a travel agent:

I Booked Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique for an 8:10am reservation and Cinderellas Royal Table for 8am on a separate date for my client this morning! All while they were sound asleep.

She wanted reservations before the park opened so she could experience Magic Kingdom being empty 😍

What is one destination that gets mentioned as a “bucket list” item?

Surprisingly enough- Alaskan Cruises! When planning this adventure, here are some things to consider:

✨If you don’t have a passport, it will limit the amount of options you have for sailings and even some excursions
✨Alaskan Cruises are only offered during certain months of the year
✨Sailings are typically longer in length- on average about 7 nights
✨Plan on splurging for a balcony room, because the views are absolutely worth it
✨Room location (port or starboard) matters for the views you get
✨It will still be cooler temperatures, even though it’s summer!

So… hear me out. I know this is going to sound crazy- but if you’re thinking of going to Disney this fall to attend Mickey’s Not so Scary Halloween Party, you want to book your resort reservation now. Here is why:

🎃You get first dibs at date, that’s right you get to purchase tickets earlier as an on site guest
🎃Longer time to save, pay off your vacation
🎃More resort availability, the closer it gets to time- the less resort options you’ll have available

I mean… who doesn’t want to have first dibs right? Plus- how CUTE and what awesome memories you would make taking your kiddos trick or treating through Magic Kingdom.

08/03/2024

Would you like that hot, cold, or frozen?

How do you take your butter beer? I’ll admit, I’ve only had it cold because it’s just too hot in Orlando for me to try hot!

Visiting the Wizarding World of Harry Potter is such a cool experience, and really allows for Harry Potter fans to step inside some of the most known destinations.. whether that be Hogsmeade or Diagon Alley, or catching the Hogwarts Express to ride between the two. Or maybe you want to stop by Olivanders for a wand of your own.

Why destination DOES matter… when choosing an All-Inclusive.

There are a lot of destinations in the Caribbean when searching for an all-inclusive vacation. Let’s try comparing Mexico versus Aruba.

Aruba:
✨Safest destination in the Caribbean
✨Smaller, so Less options To pick from
✨More boutique resorts instead of large sprawling ones
✨Great for hiking
✨Known for its white Sandy beaches and crystal clear waters

OR

Dominican Republic
✨Huge variety of resorts to pick from, which makes it hard to narrow down the right fit
✨One of the least expensive destinations to visit
✨Perfect for those just wanting to enjoy the beach
✨Second largest country in the Caribbean

What Destination would you pick? Put why in the comments

26/02/2024

When choosing a cruise…it can be overwhelming with all of the options available across multiple different cruise lines, departure ports, and more. Here are so@e key things to consider when selecting a cruise:

✨Onboard Activities
✨Food Options
✨Port schedule
✨What’s included in cost
✨Size of the ship
✨Length of sailing
✨Overall cost (sailing, drink packages, gratuity, etc)

Want to know how this all can be less overwhelming? Use me as your travel advisor 😉 it’s my job to make finding the perfect cruise easier!

22/02/2024

In your opinion… what’s an overrated snack you’ve tried at Walt Disney World?

Mine is the Cheshire Cat tail 🙈 it’s good, but it definitely is not something I would go out of my way to eat.

But what I WILL go out of my way for.. is a Rice Krispie from the Confectionery on Main Street.

🎉CONGRATULATIONS🎉

H, C, C, Y Families!

This multi family group cruise is going on a spring time cruise next year! They’re going to both of Disney’s private islands and all the kiddos will have an absolute blast!

They ALSO took advantage of the last few days of the reduced deposits for Disney Cruise Line! Want to take advantage too? Message me before you miss out!

Picture this:

Sailing on an adults only voyage, laying in your balcony stateroom hammock watching the sunset at the end of a perfect day..soaking in the Caribbean sun.

Sound enticing?

Family friendly by day, adults only by night.

Did you know…

Disney Cruise Line maximizes the use of every space onboard- maybe bars/loungers are used for family friendly activities during the day, but once 5pm hits they’re turned in to adults only.

Disney Cruise Line does a phenomenal job considering every age group- it’s just another way they go above and beyond.

What’s another great way to spend summer vacation?

Spending time at one of Nickelodeon’s All Inclusive resorts. A great family option full of fun and slime!

✨Dive into Aqua Nick®, the sprawling Nickelodeon™ themed water park
✨Dine at one the many restaurants on property, a gourmet dining experience and sometimes you’ll even see characters around
✨Let kids have an absolute blast in the kids clubs
✨Sit back and relax at the Spa on property- enjoy that well needed massage!

✨CONGRATULATIONS✨

A friend of my husbands messaged him a WEEK AGO asking if it was too late for my help planning a trip to Japan.

Y’all… they leave January 22nd and when they had reached out the only thing booked was flights 🤦🏻‍♀️

So we’ve been grinding down with finding perfect hotels to meet budget, planning how to get to certain day trip cities, etc.

Talk about flying by the seat of your pants! But they have a lot of super cool stuff planned for their two week adventure.

Onsen, Hiroshima, Sake tasting experience, and more!

06/01/2024

I’ve had quite a few people reach out within the last week about booking their summer vacations…

What does this mean for you?

✨Availability will start to slim down QUICK
✨If you have your heart set on a certain destination or resort, book it now before it’s not available.
✨Disney, All-Inclusives, Cruises, and more!

I’m so excited because they’re achieving one of the destinations they’ve always wanted to visit AND because they are my first booking of the new year. This itinerary looks absolutely stunning with all the views they’ll take in!

What is your favorite Disney resort?

Disney’s Riviera Resort is by far my favorite that I’ve stayed at so far and here is why:

✨The smell of the lobby
✨Delicious quick service food
✨Banana Bread (iykyk)
✨Skyliner access
✨Topolinos Terrace (the best character breakfast)
✨Smaller resort = more quiet
✨Amazing pool and splash zone perfect for the whole family

One of my goals is to stay at every Disney resort so that I can have more personal experience to better advise my clients. I wouldn’t have ever tried their quick service if I didn’t stay here! It’s just another way I’m dedicated to serving my clients better.
