I came home with three awards and a couple of gifts. ❤️

⭐️ EarMarked ears showing the presence our agency has with Disney Destinations. We are also Platinum with Universal Studios, Gold with Sandals/Beaches (I am silver ranked as an individual). FTJ has a name in the travel industry and I am proud to be a part of this organization.
⭐️ A Sorcerer Mickey figurine was gifted to each top seller in attendance to our meal at Toledo last night.
⭐️ Top 25 Sales Producer Award: amongst the 250 agents at Fairytale Journeys Travel, I am within the Top 10%. I am grateful to all of my clients for helping me earn this award again!
⭐️ Joyful Journey Award: I was selected by my peers for bringing encouragement and enthusiasm to others in this career. It means a lot to be recognized for my efforts within the agency.
⭐️ Years of Service Award: this year will make for 6 years with Fairytale Journeys Travel. Our owner, Susanne Wilson Hays thanked me for my contributions and that it felt like I had been there much longer. ❤️

I can only do and achieve because of my people. I never imagined when I began this Fairytale Journey that the "Journey Starts Here" would lead to all of this. It is humbling and exhilarating! Thank you again for being a part of it!

I am finishing out this amazing weekend by attending a Top Producers Dinner.

This meal is a celebration of the top selling agents in attendance of the annual Summit. It is a time to congratulate, bond, and look forward to the future.

Tonight's meal will be at Toledo- tapas, steaks, and seafood at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort. I look forward to reviewing this new to me restaurant.

Thank you again for supporting me in this business and giving me opportunities like this! ❤️

25/01/2025

⏳Early Park Entry is one of my favorite perks to staying at a Disney Resort Hotel! This perk gives you the ability to enter the parks each day 30 minutes before offsite guests!

I know, 30 minutes may not sound like a lot, but being at the front of the masses first thing in the morning enables you to knock out a couple of attractions before the wait times start to build!

This can have a huge impact on how the remainder of your day goes!

Which attraction are you heading towards first at Magic Kingdom?

⁉Have you been struggling to decide which castle to visit?

How do you even choose between the whimsy and wonder of Cinderella's castle versus the immersive Wizarding World of Harry Potter? Well, I have just one question for you.

🌟WHY CHOOSE🌟

Many of my clients enjoy a split stay between these two theme parks during their Orlando vacation, to BEST maximize the benefits of staying onsite and get the full experience at both resorts, this is the key to YOUR next vacation!

And guess what? It's not just for kids! As many families as I book between these, too, I also book adults, girl’s trips, honeymooners---there's so much to see for ALL ages.

Contact me today for your split stay quote! And be sure to leave room for your ears AND your wand when you start packing!

Question: What do your services from a hair stylist, accountant, or lawyer have in common?

Answer: You schedule an appointment to work with them.

When you work with a professional offering a service, an appointment is made so that you have that person's undivided attention. As a travel professional, I operate the same way.

I offer my scheduling through a website, so you can see my availability and select a time that works best for you.
Www.calendly.com/ftjbyalyse

1.) From the scheduler, you can select one of three types of appointments.
2.) You will see a calendar with dates showing availability. You click and then see available appointment times.
3.) You finalize your appointment.

I hope this post clarifies how to best reach me and our work together in planning your travel. ❤️

🌟Disney’s Contemporary Resort🌟

Oh, this Resort is one of my favorite Resorts (I feel like I say that a lot about all of the Resorts) but this one truly has so many wonderful things about it, it is easy to have this one be a favorite!😍

🚶Walking distance to Magic Kingdom (this is a huge advantage!) after fireworks at night, your resort is just a short walk away.

🚝Transportation - the monorail runs INSIDE of this Resort. Making for transportation super easy to Magic Kingdom.

🍛Restaurants - You will find amazing restaurants right inside of this resort! Chef Mickeys, The Wave and California Grill are all great options!

🎆Fireworks - you can see the fireworks from Magic Kingdom! It truly does not get much better than that!

🌅Views - the views from the Main Tower are truly breathtaking! There is not a bad view in the place!

I could go on and on about all of the amazing amenities of this resort. To truly understand the beauty of this, you are just going to have to try it out for yourself!

⁉What amenity do you like the most at this deluxe resort?

This or That: Battle of the Skyliner Resorts🚡

🔴 Art of Animation: Incredible theming with Cars, Lion King, Finding Nemo, and Little Mermaid. Resort has standard rooms and family suites.

🔵 Caribbean Beach Resort: Relaxing Beach vibes, 5th sleeper rooms, walking distance to Riviera Resort

What one are you choosing?

20/01/2025

🚡The Skyliner is one of my new favorite forms of transportation on the Disney World Property. When you stay at one of the resorts on the Skyliner Line, it makses getting to Hollywood Studios and Epcot so easy!

The resorts that are on the Skyliner are:
👉Pop Century
👉Art of Animation
👉Caribbean Beach Resort
👉Riviera
👉Beach Club
👉Yacht Club
👉Boardwalk

🔵 Caribbean Beach Resort is the Skyliner hub, meaning you would need to transfer at that station if you're staying anywhere else other than Caribbean Beach Resort.

🔴 Most of the gondolas are decorated with your favorite characters like Mickey and Minnie, Peter Pan and Wendy, Mike and Sully and even a Haunted Mansion Theme!

As long as you don't have a phobia of this type of transportation, I highly recommend staying at the resorts where you can access this fun mode of transportation!

19/01/2025

⁉Did you know that Disney resorts often host special events and activities, such as:

👉Character meet and greets
👉Movies Under the Stars each night
👉Themed parties

These special events provide additional entertainment options for you, that can
make a resort rest day more exciting!

Do you have a favorite resort activity? Tell me in the comments!

Not original to me but I had to share. 🕰🐊

⁉Is Universal's Express Pass worth it?

If you want to maximize your time at Universal Orlando and skip the regular lines, the Express Pass is absolutely worth considering!

But WAIT! Did you know that Unlimited Express Pass is included when you stay at one of Universal’s premier resorts - Royal Pacific, Hard Rock & Portofino Bay?

Stay at one of these resorts to enjoy Unlimited Express Pass as part of your stay:
🌟Portofino Bay Hotel: Italian luxury and charm
🌟Hard Rock Hotel: Rock-star vibes and fun decor
🌟Royal Pacific Resort: Tropical paradise right by the parks

Not only do you save time in line, but you also enjoy the perks of staying close to the action, early park admission, and incredible resort amenities.
Ready to skip the lines and live your best Universal life? Let’s make it happen!
