✨Just Booked✨

Just booked a quick trip to Disney for next month for a family at Caribbean Beach Resort!

If you’re looking to add a little tropical flair to your Disney trip, Caribbean Beach is a great option!

One of my favorite things about this resort is that it is home to the main hub for the Skyliner and provides easy access to both Hollywood Studios and Epcot.

Have you ever stayed at Caribbean Beach Resort?

This week my clients are sailing on the Majestic Princess for a 7-night Alaskan cruise.

Princess Cruise Line has been voted the #1 Cruise Line for Alaskan sailings.

So far my clients have been able to experience Ketchikan, Endicott Arm and Dawes Glacier. They still have some time at sea as well as stops in Skagway and Victoria, Canada.

Alaskan cruises are one of the top travel destinations right now. This year I have clients experiencing Alaskan sailings on Princess, Disney, and Norwegian Cruise Lines.

✨Just Booked✨

I just booked a solo Universal Orlando trip for a client…best part? They saved money AND got free 2 day tickets!

This November, my client will be staying at the modern and stylish Aventura Hotel. This hotel has designated walking paths to the parks and allows for early park entry to explore the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, VelociCoaster, and more!

The best part of this trip is that it was cheaper to stay an extra night and because of the current promo, she was able to get 2 extra park day tickets for free!

Happy National Churro Day!

The best place in my opinion to get a churro is at Disneyland.

These churros are iconic and there are so many different options to choose from.

Some of my favorites are:
✨Classic Cinnamon Sugar Churro
✨PB&J Churro
✨Chocolate-Hazelnut & Strawberry Churro

There are so many churros carts scattered around the parks and the churro flavors frequently rotate so make sure you take a look at what the specialty churros are before your next trip to Disneyland!

🚨Breaking Disney World news to start your Wednesday!

Beginning January 9, 2024 you can park hop at whatever time you would like as long as you have a park hopper ticket!

Currently you have to wait until 2:00 pm to park hop.

Are you excited about this change?

✨October 1st holds a special place in my heart. It’s the date that 2 of my favorite parks opened!

✨On October 1, 1971, Magic Kingdom opened as the first park of Walt Disney World

✨11 years later Walt Disney’s Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow (EPCOT) opened on October 1, 1982

✨When visiting Walt Disney World, you will usually find me in one of these two parks. Enjoying the lands of fantasy, adventure or tomorrow; or exploring different cultures around the World Showcase.

✨What’s your favorite park?

I know we are just moving into fall but it is 100 days until Christmas!

Christmas is the most magical time of the year in my opinion and I love counting down the days!

Disney and Universal are both so beautiful during the holidays! I can’t wait to cross visiting the parks that time of year off my bucket list.

Where’s your favorite place to travel during the holiday season?

I can’t wait to be able to meet Figment 🌈

✨Trip Tip Tuesday✨

One of my biggest tips is to use a travel advisor!

Suppliers build commission into their packages so when booking a trip, you’re already paying for a travel advisor so use that benefit! It’s no additional cost!

I have a family that are Disney pros that booked with me. They wanted to be involved in making dining reservations this morning but technology glitched for them and they weren’t able to view any dining options. Because they booked with me, I was up helping and I was able to make sure they got all the reservations they wanted. This included hard to get reservations like Topolino’s Terrace Breakfast and Story Book Dining at Artist Point.

If you are looking to book a vacation, I’d love to help you plan! I can be as hands on or off as you’d like. DM or email me at [email protected]

September 1st kicks off the spooky season in my opinion (even though Disney has been celebrating for a few weeks).

Would you choose Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party at Disney World or Halloween Horror Nights at Universal?

Personally I’m a big baby when it comes to spooky things so I’d definitely choose Mickey’s Not So Scary.

Which would you choose?

Did you hear the news? Disney announced that a new Holiday party will be coming to Hollywood Studios this year.

From Disney: “It’s a holiday vibe like never before. Sights of sparkling décor, sounds of modern beats over classic holiday songs, tastes of craft cocktails and decadent dishes. It’s nostalgic and it’s glitz and glam galore. This is Disney Jollywood Nights - a new, separately ticketed event from 8:30 p.m.-12:30 a.m. on 10 select nights November 11-December 20, 2023.”

Some of the offerings at this party:
🎄 DJ spinning a mix of holiday tunes. Commissary Lane comes to life with a lively Latin Street Fair. Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy host a live holiday special at Theater of the Stars with some of their Disney friends. And Hyperion Theater will host a spirited sing-along
🎄 a jazz lounge at The Hollywood Brown Derby and an other-worldly soiree at The Hollywood Tower Hotel Courtyard.
🎄 Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM! This Santa-sized nighttime spectacular is jam-packed with music, fireworks, special effects and dazzling state-of-the-art projections.
🎄 Pose with friends for holiday-themed Magic Shots and two new Disney PhotoPass experiences throughout the night. Complimentary digital downloads of Disney PhotoPass photos captured during the event are included with the price of the ticket.
🎄 Meet Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse and the rest of the iconic gang in Animation Courtyard on a hot set with holiday props. Get into the spirit with fave throwback friends like Powerline Max and Phineas and Ferb at Echo Lake and strike a pose with Edna Mode and chill with one of her super friends at Pixar Place
🎄 specialty food offerings

This is a hard ticketed event with limited capacity. If you want to enjoy this party, DM or email [email protected] to get on my list for when tickets go on sale.

Do you ever just find yourself dreaming of being at Disneyland?

That’s me right now. Counting the days until I can make it back to the west coast to the Happiest Place on Earth.

Happy National Churro Day!

On our recent trip to Disneyland, we tried so many churros. From the iconic classic Disneyland churro to a churro with nacho cheese and flaming hot Cheetos.

Would you try the specialty flavors or stick to the classics?
