Other things you need to do before your trip - order your Magic Bands, purchased your lanyard and pins for pintrading, and create a shopping list for your grocery delivery for your room. You do have to order your Magic Band purchases 11 days prior so you can have them shipped to home! If these are things you have never thought about or didn’t even know you need to do before your Disney vacation - working with a travel specialist like me can help you out!

Where can you go to next with your family? 🚢 🎢 That is the question I get asked a lot - or I get asked where do people travel to with families other than just local beaches?

Other than Theme parks, a lot of families are trying out cruises! The cruises of today are fantastic vacations for families of all different age ranges - depending upon the cruise line. Whether you have babies, toddlers, young kids, teens or adult children - there are options for everyone. Theme parks with kids of any age are amazing as well :)

Where do my clients go?
🎢 Walt Disney World
💫 Disneyland
⚡️Universal Studios Florida
⚓️ Disney Cruise Line
🚢 Royal Caribbean Cruises
🌴 Virgin Voyages
🛳️ Celebrity Cruises
🎡 Carnival Cruises

Packing as a Travel Agent is the same as a Mom packing for her family - since that is exactly what I am doing! The only difference is that I utilize the same packing lists that I give my clients and use the many tips and tricks I have learned over the years.

Easy Tip Traveling with kids - pack extra zip lock bags for snacks. This way, you can purchase large bags of chips/pretzels/snacks and divide up the snacks each day in disposable bags. Always having a snack on hand helps avoid possible meltdowns!

This is what I love to do - plan fantastic Walt Disney World trips!

What a great way to celebrate Harry Potter's Birthday 🎂🎉 than with the announcement of what the third Harry Potter land at Universal Studios Orlando will look like - The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Ministry of Magic! I am SO excited to check out this new Parisian land - looks like I could spend a long time just wandering around to see all the amazing details Universal puts into their parks. Best part - Butter Beer will be served!!

Happy 626 Day - aka Stitch!

The character breakfast at the restaurant ‘Ohana is a fantastic experience! It’s located at the Polynesian resort so this is a great option if you are staying at the Poly or if you are going to Magic Kingdom or Epcot - since Poly is on the connected monorail line!

If you need help or direction in which place to dine at while staying at Disney World, then using a travel agent might be for you! I can help with any questions you may have and give advice for your trip that can help!

If you don’t know which way you choose when you enter the World Showcase then you are either 1) Someone who only stays in the boardwalk area or on the skyliner 2) Someone who hasn’t been to Disney ever/in a while! If the last time you visited the World Showcase in Epcot was because your parents dragged you through as a kid, well, things have changed. Go back, be a kid again, but it’s so much more fun now! Time to book that couples trip or family vacay you have thought about!

Did you know - Universal Studios has an Italian themed Resort right on property that was designed by none other than Steven Spielberg himself?

Loews Portofino Bay Hotel literally looks like you have stepped out of Florida and right into Italy. The whole ambiance of the resort is unlike most resorts you will see anywhere else - the attention to detail is fantastic. It really feels like you are walking around Italy while you are there. There are also 2 pools, a spa, and a club level for guests who want to have that extra while vacationing at Universal Studios. Did I mention that there is also a boat that takes you directly to the entrance of Universal Studios? Sign me up!

What’s New This Summer at Walt Disney World?
😁 Communicore Hall is open - this is a part of Epcot that has been in the works for years! There is a new Encanto Show as well as the meet and greet with Mickey and friends! Something I am very excited to try is the “Festival Favorites” booth with an ever changing menu to reflect the fan favorites from the festivals!
🦁 Animal Kingdom is celebrating 30 years of the Lion King! Lots of speciality items that I have to try!
🐊 Tiana’s Bayou Adventure opens June 28th at Magic Kingdom! Glad to have this ride back and excited to see the reimagineering that was put into a classic ride!
🎃 Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party starts August 9th at Magic Kingdom park! This fan favorite, ticketed event gives people the opportunity to see the park in a whole new, Not So Scary, way!
💲 Club Level Rooms or Club Level Suites at Walt Disney World Resort on select dates July-September 2024 can save 20% on a Disney Private VIP Tour during their stay! What a fantastic way to celebrate YOU by treating yourself to this special experience. There are also other discounts for just this summer - including discounts on resorts, tickets and packages!

Things I would NEVER assume while traveling to Walt Disney World with kids.

😫 Kids won’t throw a fit or fall asleep during their favorite show/parade - even if you think they will power through based on their adrenaline. Pro Tip: Bring things to keep them cool with lots of water/ice, bring familiar snacks for the kids and make sure to stop often for little breaks, even to just sit for a few minutes on a bench goes a long way.

🌭 Since it’s Disney and it’s a kid theme park, all places have every food option for your picky eaters. Pro Tip: Plan ahead. Look up the food options on the menus throughout the parks - or ask your Travel Specialist to help you with this 😉. Make sure you don’t have a $400 pre-fix meal set up with nothing on the menu your family enjoys to eat.

🎢 Your kids will go on all age/height appropriate rides especially since you are paying all that money! Pro Tip: If you know you are going to have a nervous nelly, check out You Tube before you go for the different rides. The indoor roller coasters are hard for people to tackle since they cannot see the coaster from the outside, so they are just nervous about what they don’t know!

🏝️ Don’t assume your kids don’t want to relax a bit while on their vacation and explore new places too. Pro Tip: Staying on Disney property gives you once in a lifetime experiences staying at these over the top decorated resorts. If you stay on property, you can literally walk around these resorts and make an activity of it. My children love exploring new places and the pool! The extra kid oriented activities are something too you will not get at other resorts in the area.

If you are a sucker for Champagne 🍾🥂 like I am, then you would LOVE a Virgin Voyages cruise! There a multiple times onboard the ship champagne is given out for free but if you want a special bottle of Moet, you can simply “shake for champagne” on the VV app while on board and a bottle will be delivered to you! It was such a fun experience - especially when we were feeling especially boogie sitting in the hot tub, having our champagne delivered to us!! That is what an adult only vacation should look like!

Honestly, Virgin Voyages is a great alternative to couples only trips, bachelor/bachelorette trips, or just a fun trip with friends!

Contact me to book your Virgin Voyages trip - I love helping people and using my own experiences to my clients advantage. Thank you!!

This is your friendly reminder to book your summer vacation to Universal Studios! Or have you thought about Fall break? Now is the time to book that trip - and I am here to help!

Universal is my new favorite at the moment - my kids still can’t stop buzzing about our last trip and I am also really enjoying daydreaming with my kids. My 4 year old asks on our way to school everyday, “Can we go on the Cat in the Hat ride?” And my response every time, “Not today but I hope soon.”

Today she brought up our day at Volcano Bay and how she rode on the “rainbow” slides, which was part of the enormous kid play area. I looked out my rainy windows, still wearing my enormous winter coat and was replied with “yeah, that was fun.”

Let me help you make some of your own magical memories!
