Christmas is just around the corner! 🎄

Give the gift of traveling to Walt Disney World! Surprise your family with a Spring Break Vacation to the most Magical Place on Earth ❤️

Look at this quote for during Spring Break 2025 that I was able to give my clients! They wanted to stay under $5k but visit all 4 parks and wasn’t sure if that was feasible. Not only was I able to quote them UNDER $4k but I even added in memory maker!

For $3,556.80 they are getting
⭐️ Early Park Admission
⭐️ 5 nights at Disney's All Star Movies Resort
⭐️ Free Transportation to/from the parks
⭐️ 4 Day Base Tickets
⭐️ Memory Maker- will receive photos taken on attractions, character interactions and more!

The best thing about this is that all they needed to pay to book their vacation was just a $200 REFUNDABLE deposit! They will be able to make payments as much as they choose! Just as long as the full balance is paid 30 days prior to check in.

Something that I was finally able to make time for on my recent trip to Universal Orlando Resort was character meet and greets!!

Not gonna lie, this is something that I don’t normally make time for. I head for the rides and the food 🍔🌭 BUT once I saw Vector was doing an appearance, I had to!! Oh yeaaahhhh!!! 🖖🏽

After the best meet and greet with Vector I spent the next few hours meeting other characters and I have no regrets 🙂‍↔️🙂‍↔️

Did you know that Universal Studios has a water park?! 👀

Universal’s Volcano Bay is the best water park I’ve been to in my opinion and here’s why! 👇

When visiting Volcano Bay, you are given a band called TapuTapu. This is a free band that every guest gets once they walk into the park. With this band, you are able to tap into rides without waiting in line! Think of it as a virtual queue. Once you tap into a ride that you like, the band will let you know when it’s your turn to ride! Meanwhile, you can float the lazy river or get a bite to eat 🍔🌭🥤

Also, you don’t have to carry a large tube all the way up the stairs to ride a slide! There will already be one waiting for you at the top 🙂

Universal really put convenience into this water park so that way you can have an easy and relaxing time 💦

Day 4: Throwback Thursday! Share a beloved memory ✨

These are pictures from our very first trip to Walt Disney World as a family!🥹❤️ We had such a great time that I can still remember us saying “we got to make this happen every year”. The boys were 3 and 1 and everything was so magical to them which made it that much more magical for us as parents 💕

This is when I knew I wanted to get involved with Disney in some way and decided to become a travel agent! Curating vacations for families to have memories that truly last a lifetime is such a blessing! 🥰

02/10/2024

Day 3: My favorite ride! 🎢

I have so many favorite rides that it’s hard to choose just one 😅 but since I just got back from Universal Orlando Resort my pick is VelociCoaster! 🦖

This ride freaked me out the first time I saw it for two reasons, the drop and the fact it’s just a lap bar 🫣But it is seriously one of the best coasters!! It’s so thrilling and just all around fun!! 🤩

What’s your favorite ride?! 🎢

Day 2! 🎉

Genie out in FLMTC gear! 🧞‍♀️❤️

This picture is just fitting!! I am wearing my Friend Like Me Travel Co. shirt and was walking around the boardwalk at Walt Disney World! ✨

As many of you know, each year, we have AEPs (Agent Education Programs) to attend and early next year, we will be at Disney’s Boardwalk Inn!! 🏨

I am so excited to learn while having the best time with my genie fam!!🥰🥰

FLMTC is turning 5!🎉

In honor of the best travel agency turning 5, we are having a spirit week!! 🤩

Each day of this week, we are celebrating! ❤️

Today is dress as your favorite destination 🌎

It comes as no surprise that Walt Disney World is my favorite place to be! 🥰 When I visited Walt Disney World with my family for the first time, we had such a magical time together that I knew I wanted to help re create that magic for other families and be apart of that in some way. Thats when I decided to become a travel agent specializing in both Disney and Universal destinations! ✨

FLMTC helped me become the best agent I could possibly be and continues to help shape me everyday! I’m so happy to be a part of Friend Like Me Travel Co. 🥹❤️

Hi Friends!! 👋

As most of yall know, I just came back from a week long girls vacation at Universal Orlando Resort! ❤️

I had the most AMAZING time and wanted to share what all I did and experienced this week! 🤩 Lets start off at the resort we stayed at! ⬇️

🏨 We stayed at Loews Portofino Bay Hotel. This hotel is inspired by the charming seaside village of Portofino, Italy. Our room had a beautiful water front view which was so relaxing to enjoy after a long day at the parks! This room also offered a rollaway bed if needed. It is a twin sized bed that quite literally rolls right into the room! 🛏️

🥘 The food that this hotel had to offer was so delicious and convenient as well as authentic verified by our Italian exchange student 🇮🇹 She also said the architecture was also beautifully and well represented ❤️ It was really cool to experience this with her ❤️

🚌 Transportation options at this hotel is by shuttle bus, boat or walking! Yes, it is within walking distance to the parks!! We used the boat transportation to get to both Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure but had to use the shuttle bus to get to Universal's water park, Volcano Bay! 💦

🎟️ We also received FREE Unlimited Express Passes for the length of our stay! We were able to by pass all the long lines for ALL the rides aside from Hagrids Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure but since we stayed on property, we got 1 hour early admission to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter and was able to ride that attraction with little to no wait time!

🥇 I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to all my clients who are looking for a fun but yet relaxing vacation! 🤩

Happy National Coffee Day! ☕️

In honor of this day, I am sharing with you my favorite coffee that’s located at my favorite Walt Disney World Resort ❤️

It’s the Café Bombon that is served in the Dahlia Lounge inside Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort in the Gran Destino Tower. It is
Espresso and Sweetened Condensed Milk and it’s seriously the best coffee I ever tasted! I ordered 4 in one sitting 😅

What’s your favorite coffee?! ☕️

Out of Office!! 🧳

I am currently at Universal Studios, FL and will be out of office this week and will be back next week!

All clients traveling soon, I will be on standby for anything you may need ❤️

See you at the parks! 😍❤️

Fun Fact Friday! 🎢

Did you know that Velocicoaster over at Universal's Islands of Adventure is the tallest and fastest launch coaster in Florida? It launches at 70mph at just 2.4 seconds! 😮

This ride is definitely intense but also super fun! 🤩

29/08/2024

Why should you get park to park tickets when visiting Universal Studios Florida? 🤔

This seems to be one of the most asked question when I have clients visiting Universal Studios and my answer is always...... you get to ride the Hogwarts Express!! 🚂

You will board the Hogwarts Express at Kings Cross which is located at Universal Studios theme park and will arrive at Hogsmeade which is at Islands of Adventure.
Universal Studios Florida has two DRY theme parks which is Universal Studios Florida and Universal's Islands of Adventure.

Getting the park to park ticket allows you to visit both of these theme parks in ONE day and this is the ONLY way you can ride the Hogwarts Express. It is definitely an experience that every Potter Head should do.

Do you want to skip the long lines when visiting Universal Studios? Let's talk Express Passes! 🗣️

Universal has some amazing attractions, some of my favorites are the Incredible Hulk Coaster, Harry Potter and The Escape From Gringotts and The Mummy! Unfortunately, these are some popular rides and that means the lines will be long BUT that is when Express Passes come in handy! ❤️

On my most recent trip to Universal Studios this past February, I purchased express passes and the longest I waited for a ride was 5 mins. No, literally! There was wait times as long as 65mins that I only waited MAYBE 5 mins for. The regular express pass allows you to skip the line once per ride BUT there is also the UNLIMITED Express Pass that you can purchase as well.

The unlimited express pass does the same thing as the regular express pass but instead of skipping the line once you can skip the line as MANY times that you would like!!🤩

I highly recommend purchasing at least the regular express pass when visiting Universal Studios to maximize your time.

Pictured is me at one of the shops in Diagon Alley with my express pass that is inside my lanyard. Another pro tip, purchase a lanyard that can keep your express pass and hotel room key together.

27/08/2024

Let’s talk strollers!

Bringing a stroller is a must for me and my family. I usually rent a double stroller for the entirety of our stay at Walt Disney World from Magic Strollers. I don’t personally own a double stroller so this is why we rent 🙂

There are areas specifically for stroller parking around the theme parks that are near the rides. You won’t be the only one parking a stroller so I always advise my clients to either put a ribbon of some sort on your stroller so it’s easier to identify or if you rent one from Magic Strollers, they will put your last name on a large name tag that is tied pretty tight on the stroller already 🙂

Pro tip: Bringing your own stroller or renting one outside of the theme parks is probably the best option. You can always rent strollers from Disney when visiting the theme parks, however, they are not comfortable. They have hard backs and will need to be returned everyday, before you leave the parks 🙂

26/08/2024

Really missing Disney's California Adventure 😢

Just look at this view of Pixar Pier, amazing 😍

I may or may not already be planning my families next Disneyland trip for the end of the year 😅

Getting overwhelmed planning your family vacation? 😣

Planning a vacation should NOT be stressful!❤️

With the right travel agent by your side, it will be a breezeee! I am here to help families plan and coordinate their upcoming vacation by doing all the research, finding the perfect destination and making sure you get the most out of it💕
Here are some facts about using me as your personal travel agent! ⬇

✨My basic planning services are FREE!

✨I offer other planning services such as booking dining reservations, booking enchanting extras like Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique and much more for a small fee. This is because vendors like Disney does NOT pay me for these services. This is something that I offer and is an option ☺

✨You pay for a travel agent whether you use one or not. Every vacation package includes travel agent fees. Only difference is, if you don't use a travel agent, you don't support a small business like mine and wont get perks like tips and tricks and that stress free planning.

✨Already booked your vacation? No worries, you can transfer your booking to me and I can take care of the rest for FREE!

✨ Travel agents do NOT have special discounts. We see the SAME prices that you do but we can price monitor for promos and see if your vacation package qualifies and can save you money! 💰

Contact me today to see how much your vacation can be! 😍

When traveling to Universal Studios Florida, there is a few things to note 📝

✨When I book your vacation, I will send you over your E-Travel document. This document has all of your booking information and is your way to get those theme park tickets 🎟️

✨Each resort that is on-site at Universal, has a Vacation Planning Center. This is where you will present that E-Travel document I sent you and they will print those tickets out for you at day of check in. You can also purchase more tickets here as well!

✨Make sure to take a picture of the barcode at the back of your ticket just in case your ticket gets damaged or lost. Having the bar code will give guest services an easy way to pull the ticket in case anything happens. Avoid long waits trying to hunt the ticket number down 🕜

Pro tip: Purchase a lanyard to keep your room key and theme park tickets safe ❤️ On top of that, I always link tickets to the Universal app as well. It's as simple as scanning or inputting the ticket number 📱

Out of all the types of transportation options you can take to get to the theme parks at Walt Disney World, the skyliner has to be my FAVORITE ❤️

The skyliner is a gondula lift system that takes you to several Disney Resorts and Disney theme parks 🚡

The resorts that have the skyliner is ⬇️

✨Disney’s Riviera Resort
✨Disney’s Pop Century Resort
✨Disney’s Art of Animation Resort
✨Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort

You can also take the skyliner to two of Walt Disney World’s theme parks which is Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Epcot! ❤️

It’s just so convenient to just walk right in and go. No need to take things out of strollers, take out the kiddos and fold the stroller 😮‍💨😅

20/08/2024

When visiting Universal Studios Florida, I always recommend for my clients to stay at either a premier or preferred hotel and here’s why ⬇️

✨You are close to the theme parks which means less walking!

✨You can take the water taxi over to the theme parks and in just a few steps, you are there!

✨ BUT if you stay at a Premier Resort hotel, you get complimentary UNLIMITED Express Passes for everyone in the party! 🤯

This is a huge deal! Regular express passes cost around $199-$369 per person, per DAY! This can get very pricey quick 💰 so this is definitely a huge advantage! ❤️

Here are Universal’s Premier Hotels that offer Unlimited Express Passes in the price of your stay 👇🏼

✨Loews Royal Pacific Resort
✨Loews Portofino Bay Hotel
✨Hard Rock Hotel

I will actually be staying at Loews Portofino Bay Hotel next month for our Universal vacation and I am SO excited about it!! 🤩

19/08/2024

Happy Birthday to the cutest bear in the Hundred Acre Wood! 🍯 Pooh bear is absolutely one of my favorite Disney characters 💕

You can meet Pooh and Friends at The Crystal Palace. We love eating here during breakfast time. It’s a buffet style restaurant and the food served here is delicious 😋

It’s a great way to start your day off at the most magical place on earth 😍

16/08/2024

It’s National Rollercoaster Day! 🎢

Here are some pics of me on some of my favorite coasters at Walt Disney World! ❤️

15/08/2024

Where are all my Star Wars fans at!? ⚔️

Star Wars Galaxy's Edge over at Disney's Hollywood Studios is a truly immersive land! Here you will be able to build a custom light saber, build a droid, ride Star Wars Rise of The Resistance and more! One of my favorite places to grab a drink and a snack is at Oga's Cantina. Their specialty drinks are so fun and delicious 😋

Everything here is made to look like you are stepping into Batuu. Watch out, you may run into Kylo Ren and his storm troopers while out and about 🤫

14/08/2024

One of my favorite lands at Disneyland is Avengers Campus! ❤️

Here you are bound to run into a few Avengers as well as some Villains. You can see Spider-Man fly high in the sky, see Dr. Strange as he teaches you the secrets of the mystic arts, try out some great food/drinks at Pym's Kitchen & more!🤩

I am SO excited for my boys to see their favorite Avenger, Spider-Man, next month! 🕷️🕸️

This land is truly heroic 😍

13/08/2024

Toy Story Land at Disney’s Hollywood Studios has to be one of my favorite lands at Walt Disney World ❤️

Here’s why 👇🏼
✨ The theming! You are in Andy’s backyard and you really feel like you are a small toy! You can see Andy’s shoe prints through out the land.

✨The food ❤️ one of my favorite quick service meals is the grilled cheese paired with tomato soup over at Woody’s Lunchbox

✨Slinky Dog Dash 🎢 this coaster is super cute and fun! I love this ride so much ❤️

Pro Tip: Experience this land at night, it truly is so beautiful 💕

Use that PTO and start investing in what matters most ❤️

Actual footage of me leaving work on a Friday 😂 This ride is Hagrids Motorbike Adventure at Universal Studios. This is the BEST rollercoaster in all of Florida, of course in my opinion. 🤭 I waited 90mins to ride this attraction and I would absolutely do it again, it’s that good! Have you rode Hagrids?! 😍

Did you know…. 👀 That you can purchase interactive and non interactive wands at Universal Studios? ✨ If you purchase the interactive wands, there are specific places that you can cast spells and test your magic 🪄 When you purchase your wand, it comes with a map similar to the Marauder’s Map, and you can go around the Wizarding World of Harry Potter! You will find brass medallions on the ground that shows you what spell to use and the technique. 😍 I love doing this when I visit Universal Studios and watching everyone of ALL ages participate in this. It makes it just so much more magical! ✨ I also have been purchasing the non - interactive wands so I can collect all of them!😅

I truly LOVE what I do! ❤️ Let me help work some magic on your next vacation! ✨💕

Well I tried 😅💁🏻‍♀️ On a real note, T-110 until my first SOLO trip EVER! Can you guess where I’m going? 🤔🤭 When is your next Disney Vacation? 😃
