Happy Sunday! Hope you’re all having fun gettin’ ready for the Superbowl! I wanted to take a moment and bring up getting through and moving around in the parks! I myself use a scooter, fondly referred to as my “ol’ lady scooter” while I’m visiting Disney World as an amputee. I have troubles with getting my prosthetic to fit properly all the time, and when you’re putting in miles and miles each day, it can be hard to have limited mobility. I find that using a scooter really helps me keep up with my husband and two boys, and allows for me to not wear myself down too quickly. There was a trip before my amputation surgery that I walked on a bum ankle and paid for it each night, practically crawling back to our resort at the end of the day. Looking back now, I wish I had gotten one sooner so I could enjoy more while there. The company that I have personally enjoyed working with the most is Gold Mobility Scooters. They are super reliable, responsive and kind. Their scooters are high end, very comfortable and also include perks unlike the in-park rentals like drop off/pick up at your resort (so you can leave the parks!), charging ports in the scooter, baskets for holding your belongings and complimentary rain ponchos even! They offer discounts throughout the year, but their rates are always reasonable and fair even with out a discount. The main advantages of getting a scooter through them are: you know it will work, it will be comfortable throughout your park travels, and they come to you to drop it off and pick it up! You won’t be disappointed if you use them.

This is hilariously accurate but it’s ALWAYS worth it, because well, it’s Florida and it’s amazing 😂

I’ve mentioned before that during our last vacation we did a split stay at Disney World. Our first three days were at All-Star Movies but the next seven days were at Port Orleans Riverside. It is such a beautiful resort. They classify it as a moderate resort, so think middle of the price list. We chose to stay in a Royal Guest Room which is themed with all your favorite Royals-think Princesses and Princes! They also have beautiful standard rooms that are simple and elegant. The resort itself reminds you of the south, Louisiana, the bayou…it’s such a great place to feel like you’ve really “went away”! Because Disney is offering amazing promotions like the “Stay, Play and get a Disney Dining Promo Card” I decided to price out another option to show you. A family of four, with two kids under 10, staying from August 6th to the 12th this fall can stay in a Royal room and get 4 days of park tickets and memory maker all for….🥁🥁🥁…..$4775.80 AND receive $600 to pay for your dining while you’re there! Vacations to Disney World seem way too expensive for many families but when you’re able to add on promotions they offer and only have to put down a deposit of $200 to hold your spot, it’s much more realistic than most people think. You can make monthly payments at your own pace after putting down your deposit too! Text, call or message me to let me build you a FREE estimate for your first or next Disney Vacation!

My family of four stayed at the All-Star Movies Resort (a Value Resort) at Disney World in September of 2022. It was a three day stay before we switched to another resort on property called Port Orleans Riverside (a Moderate Resort). This stay was perfect for helping keep us on budget and offered tons of options for food at the resort, an amazing themed pool, entertainment on site, as well as free transportation to and from the parks while we stayed. 😉now here’s what you need to know: right now, Disney is offering a “Stay, play and Enjoy a Disney Dining Promo Card” through select dates in July, August and September. You won’t want to pass this up if you and your family are planning to go this year. This promo card will give you up to $150 per night depending on the resort you stay at, to spend on dining at the parks and other resort locations. When I checked into this resort for a family of four, including two children under 10, from August 6th to the 12th, added memory maker which provides you with the most amazing professional photo opportunities and ride photos while you visit, included 4 park tickets for 4 days…..drumroll….it costs $3,591.16 and that would include them giving YOU $300 to spend on food! Interested?! Text, email or shoot me a message and let me give you a FREE estimate of what it could cost you!

I’m late sharing what our elves got up to while they visited us in December but I finally have time to now! Boy they were busy! When they finally headed back to Santa they helped Santa set up a present hunt for Christmas morning for our boys to have to go find together! It was the most exciting day for them cause Zippy and Elfsa went all out! I hope all of you had the best Christmas this year and I hope you all stay tuned to the upcoming posts I’ll be putting out! HUGE specials, giveaways and more to come to help celebrate my first official year of being a Travel Agent with White Gloves Travel Company!!

We call donuts, “power rings” in this house thanks to my Sergeant Husband. 😂we love them, even though they’re not good for you!

12/08/2022

The past couple of days my husband had to help me cause 7 days in and I’ve already forgotten 🙋🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ buttttttt! Last night was awesome cause I put up a 4ft tree in the boys room and then snuck in and decorated it! Zippy and Elfsa helped! 😂

12/04/2022

I can’t fit Zippy in this photo….but those cookies they tried to make were terrible so they went to plan B 😂

12/04/2022

Do the cookies come out the same this way? Asking for an elf….

12/02/2022

Well today was operation “Apple” and it’s the only decoration we have on the tree so far. 🥴it’ll get there!

12/01/2022

Zippy and Elfsa are baaaaaaack! For all of you that don’t know, my two boys have been visited by these two for the past couple of years. We’re always so excited to see them, especially day one! Come along with us as they bring some extra Christmas spirit this year!

I think the best way to kick off that family vacation is to be obnoxious and silly right at the crack of dawn to wake your children and rush to the airport…then wait around and hear how bored your children are before you finally board and take off! 😂😂when it’s a Disney Vacation at the end it makes it all worth it!

Some of you may know that my own Grandma is in hospice care, some of you may not, but when I saw this I couldn’t help but smile a little and think of her just the same and had to share this. She is a spitfire and although her battle with cancer is coming to an end, she will always be a fighter. She has always been silly and wild and a little bit ornery and I hope that I take some of that wild streak with me in life as her granddaughter.

Over the next month or two, please bear with me as I navigate through this tough time, spend time with my family and slow down a bit. I am still very much here for my amazing customers and if you have questions, need quotes or have an upcoming trip I’m keeping an eye on please don’t hesitate to reach out to me whenever and don’t worry that I won’t be here for you! Quotes may take longer than normal but I’m still very excited to help you plan your next getaway!

Give all the Grandmas you know a big squeeze. ❤️

Truth 😂❤️

For all of my customers that are not theme park junkies but would love to take a cruise for the first or the 40th time, deals like this are perfect for you! This particular one is only available for another two days but more pop up all the time! I have finished a few trainings on cruising and would love to help you find one that would suite you best. We are authorized to book you with the top cruise lines and get you the best deals! I can’t help but also mention that if you’re into Disney but don’t want to visit parks their cruise line is top of the line as well and sometimes a better deal if you’re more into their amazing food and entertainment options than the rides! Never been before? Me neither, but I have great reviews from friends that have and am happy to answer questions if you have any!

04/19/2022

What do you have planned in June of 2022? Nothing? Well check this out: June 15th through 19th, Family of 4 with two adults and two kids under 10, Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort in a preferred room (best location at the resort), 4 park days (one park per day), no extra add ons…drumroll please…..$2,758.52. Add in flights and food and you can reasonably expect to get away with paying under $5000.00 and still eat at real restaurants and get out with a couple souvenirs too if you chose to! It’s not something most families think that they can budget into their lives, but if you saved a little over $200 a month you could take those kiddos to Disney World in 24 months. If you ever get curious what it could cost you and your family to get away, please ask me to get you quotes! No pressure, zero hassle for you, and if you find that I give you a quote you can’t pass up you can pay a $200 deposit and pay on said vacation for over a year until you’re ready to go! Plus the added benefits of letting me do all the work I can to make it easier for you as well as the changes I can add to your package along the way if they roll out specials/discounts before you go! It’s a win all around!

It’s funny how easy it is to make a payment on our next Disney Vacation but how hard it is to buy new tires for the car! 😂You would be shocked to know how truly affordable a 5 day vacation to Disney World is though. So many people believe that it’s just too expensive but between only having to put a deposit of $200 down and being allowed to make payments until 30 days before your arrival, then also using a travel agent to help you find the best deals (even after it’s booked we can add new deals for you!)….well it becomes way more realistic to the everyday family to be able to go! It’s not just a “once in a lifetime” option that people assume it is. If it’s something you’d like more information on, I would LOVE to provide you quotes and information whenever you’re ready! No charge to you, no obligation to use me! But I promise you won’t be disappointed!

One of our favorite locations to visit is Orange Beach, Alabama. The Gulf Coast beaches have my heart and soul. I grew up in Colorado and as an adult I began traveling to beach locations. Hands down, the best beaches in the U.S. are on the Gulf Coast. We love the soft, white and CLEAN beaches that we visit. Nothing beats soaking up the sun and playing in the water. Have you been?? Would you like more information about the area? Let me know!

As a mother and wife with another full time job, I have made it a point to escape our daily routines and find ways to allow for us as a family to vacation at least once a year. We usually take a week off, more often than not in the beginning of our boys’ school year, and pick a location far away. We have done a few road trips but we have flown the most. If you fly, do you have a favorite airline you prefer to use? Why? Or why do you avoid a certain one?

My love for traveling with my own little family, my passion for sticking to a budget/saving money and my own experience as a “differently-abled” adventurer will give me the “leg up” I need in helping my customers!
