It’s National Dessert Day!!

Here are a few of my favorites!

▫️ Minnie Sweet Strawberry Sundae - This can be found at Marketplace Snacks at Disney Springs

▫️ Croque Glacé- It’s 1 scoop of ice cream with your choice of sauce pressed in a homemade brioche. You can find this delicious treat at L’Artisan des Glaces in Epcot

▫️ Ghirardelli’s at Disney Springs… I mean really really can’t go wrong with anything here, but the chocolate covered strawberries are my favorite!

Why I love staying at premiere resorts at Universal?

▫️ Proximity: resorts walking distance to the parks

▫️ Early Park Admission: enter parks an hour before park opens

▫️ Complimentary Transportation: water taxis

This last one is my FAVORITE part about staying at a premiere resort!
▫️ Unlimited Express Pass: receive free unlimited express pass and skip the regular lines at most attractions

Have you stayed at a premiere resort at Universal Orlando!

Don’t let the rain put a damper on your trip!

Florida may be the sunshine state, but rain during summer and fall is VERY common!

Rain doesn’t have to ruin your trip though, just plan ahead!

🌧️ Pack a poncho/rain jacket! You’ll be glad you did!

🌧️ If you use a stroller make sure to pack a stroller rain cover as well!

🌧️ Zip-block bags! Packs some just in case that way you can store wallets and electronics in them so they don’t get wet.

☔️ Get an early start! Rain showers tend to be later in the afternoon, so in most cases the early bird will get the worm!

☔️ Wait it out! Most storms will pass quickly, so if you are in the parks don’t leave. Find a place to get a bite to eat or find an indoor ride!

Happy Monday!! I took a little break from social media, but I’m back! During this time, I’ve been busy working on some a...

It's not too late to get your summer plans underway!

Here are the top 5 reasons I recommend staying at an all-inclusive resort:

1. Budget - there is a resort for every price point. Plus when everything is included there are no additional fees so you are able to stay on budget!

2. Unlimited Food/Drinks - When all food and drinks are included you don't have to worry about pricey drinks adding up on you

3. Stress Free - Planning is easier and can take advantage of all in one packages

4. Convenience - Everything all in one place! As soon as you arrive everything is taken care of for you!

5. Something for everyone - With multiple pools, dining, land and sea activities, and spa services there is something for everyone to enjoy!

The Chandler's ❤️

I had the privilege of helping booking reservations for not only the bride and groom, but also for others attending their destination wedding in Jamaica!

This wasn't my first time working with Monique and her travels, but it was definitely the most special! Knowing she trusted me to help on her special day makes me extremely grateful! Thank you so much for supporting my small business!

You made the most beautiful bride and you are a beautiful couple!

"Katie, I can't thank you enough for your amazing customer service and making all the bookings for my destination wedding so fun and easy. You took all the stress off of me when it came to booking rooms and flights for me and my guest and I will forever be grateful. You are the reason I always recommend people getting a travel agent who cares and extremely helpful like you."

Don’t let the rain ruin your trip!! There are so many ways to tackle the rain while visiting Walt Disney World… Here are some of my tips! 1. Bring a poncho - better to have it and not need it than the other way around 2. Grab a quick bite to eat - if you notice it’s starts to sprinkle and forecast shows heavy rain try to get to quick service before it starts to pour… this way your more likely to get some covered seating. 3. Enjoy an indoor ride! Bonus: 4. If you have room in your bag, bring a change of clothes or at least socks to change into once the rain stops Alternative Option: The rains not for everyone and that’s ok! Still doesn’t have to put a damper on your trip! Make it a resort day! Disney resorts have so much to offer and so much that gets missed out on since the parks are the priority. Well, this is a perfect time to enjoy those resort amenities, eat at a resort restaurant, and if you’re lucky the resorts sometimes provide activities or character appearances! You never know what you might find!

It’s been a rainy week here in Orlando!! So it’s a perfect time to talk about the rain! Are you guilty of leaving the park if it starts raining?!? I personally try to never leave the park if it’s raining, of course there are always exceptions, but for the most part I stay! In fact, I actually love the parks when it rains It gives a whole different ambience and is truly just fun! Makes you feel like a kid playing in the rain. With that said… you should always come prepared! Bring a raincoat/poncho!

Steal my secret… Make some time to visit Disney Springs during your next visit!! There is so much to explore! ▫️ Food ▫️ Shopping ▫️ Activities ▫️ Entertainment It’s a perfect way to enjoy your checkin/checkout/or rest day! Want an additional secret… Visit Disney Springs when it first opens!! Not all stores/restaurants are open yet, but lots are… including World of Disney! It’s my favorite time to visit World of Disney because there are less crowds than usual!

Check out what Universal Orlando has planned for summer! 🪄 Hogwarts Always - A new projection show on the Hogwarts castle will make its debut on June 14th 🌙 DreamWorks Land will officially be opening June 14th. This land will have Trolls Rollercoaster, Shrek’s Swap meet up, & more 🌟 Universal’s Mega Movie Parade will debut on July 3rd! Enjoy your favorite characters such as E.T., T.Rex, Trolls, & more 🎶 CineSational A Symphonic Spectacular featuring soundtracks from Harry Potter, Jurassic Parks & Jaws makes its debut on June 14th

You know your girl had to make a reel using this song!! That’s really all I’m here to say 😂😂😂
