I know you need a getaway to somewhere warm — ME TOO! I’m here to make your dream trip possible. Let’s chat about one of my favorite ways to travel in the winter 💬⤵️

A cruise in the winter months is the ultimate escape for families, friends, and couples because there is a budget, itinerary, and cruise line perfect for every kind of traveler!

In your cruise fare you can expect:

1️⃣ Hassle-Free Fun: Cruises are the easiest way to vacation! Unpack once and wake up in a new, incredible location every day. Whether it’s island hopping in the Caribbean or exploring coastal cities, your itinerary’s port stops offerings will be robust.

2️⃣ Endless Entertainment: For families, cruises are paradise! Kids’ clubs, splash parks, and themed activities keep little ones entertained, while teens can enjoy arcades and adventure zones. Meanwhile, adults can unwind in serene spas, adult-only pools / beaches, or at onboard lounges, private dining experiences, and so much more.

3️⃣ Romantic Escapes: Couples can indulge in candlelit dinners, sunset strolls on the deck, and cozy balconies with ocean views. Many cruise lines even offer special packages for anniversaries, honeymoons, or vow renewals.

4️⃣ All-Inclusive Value: With accommodations, meals, entertainment, and (some) private-island destinations bundled together in the cost of your fare, cruises can be an incredibly budget-friendly experience without sacrificing luxury.

5️⃣ Sun-Kissed Destinations: Say goodbye to winter blues and hello to turquoise waters and white sandy beaches. Whether it’s the Bahamas, Mexico, or the Mediterranean, there’s a sunny itinerary for everyone!

LET ME HELP YOU PLAN YOUR SAILING! At no extra cost to you, I help you maximize and enhance your winter getaway onboard one of my many preferred cruise line vendors! With itineraries as short as 3-nights, you CAN enjoy some sun over a long weekend!

EPCOT’s International Festival of the Arts has officially been open for its first week! The limited time festival includes Disney inspired art exhibitions, Broadway-style show offerings, exclusive food and drinks, and so much more! I was lucky enough to visit on opening day to try some of the festival foods.

Here is everything we tried (in order of our not-so-favorite to our favorite) and how we rated it!

🌹 Enchanted Rose - Wonderful Walk of Colorful Cuisine: Milk Chocolate Rose with Raspberry and Rose Center [4.5 / 10]
📍 Opening Bites, World Celebration

🥖Crème de Brie en Petit Pain - Warm Creamy Brie in a House-made Bread Bowl [4.5 / 10]
AND
🥮 Pithiviers de Canard et Volaille, Sauce Canard - Puff Pastry with Duck, Chicken, Onions, Mushrooms, Cranberries, and Duck Sauce [5/10]
📍L’Art de la Cuisine Française, World Showcase

🥟General Tso’s Chicken Shumai Dumplings filled with Chicken, Potato, Onion, and Water Chestnut topped with General Tso’s Sauce [6 / 10]
📍The Painted Panda, World Showcase

🥩Wagyu Bun Steamed Bun filled with American Wagyu Beef served with Japanese Karashi Mustard Sauce and Violet Shiso Sauce [7.5/10]
📍 Goshiki, World Showcase

🍟 Caprese Poutine with Tuscan-spiced French Fries, Confit Tomatoes, Slivered Garlic, Mozzarella Pearls, Basil Pesto, Shaved Pecorino, and Balsamic Glaze [8 / 10]
📍 Refreshment Port, World Showcase

🥑Avocado-Coconut Custard Tart - Wonderful Walk of Colorful Cuisine with Pomegranate Cream and Henna-inspired Gelée Veil (plant-based) [9 / 10]
📍 Tangierine Café: Flavors of the Medina, World Showcase

🌽 Natilla de Maiz - Creamy Corn Custard with Caramelized Sugar [10 / 10!!!!!!]
📍 El Artista Hambriento, World Showcase

I won’t lie, the lines at most of the booths were longggggg, and that was even the case as we got there around their opening time (11am). I recommend packing your patience & prioritizing the food and drink items that you are most interested in to start!

STAY TUNED: My next post will cover the art / artist inspired activities throughout the festival! 🎨🖌️

I had the opportunity this holiday season to help a dog find his forever home by co-sponsoring the adoption. So excited for Beryl and his brand new chance at life. 🫶🏻

Saying goodbye to DinoLand USA at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park 🦕🦖. While I’m very excited for what’s to come, the nostalgic feeling of riding DINOSAUR each trip (AND getting freaked out every. single. time), will be missed.

If you or your kiddos will need a Dinosaur fix on your next Orlando-based trip, I encourage you to add a day at a theme park jussssst down the road 🎢 for some absolutely insane prehistoric experiences. (**cough, cough Jurassic Park, cough cough**) — allow me to help you add that to your next stay!

The holidays are here! It is time to unwind and unplug, rest and relax with the people I love most, and hopefully catch up on some finishing some books I have had on my shelf for a little too long LOL🎁🎄🎅!

Today, I will be finishing shopping and wrapping (oops), sending out final travel documents to cruisers and honeymoon couples traveling in early January, and just generally preparing for the next two days of fun and excitement.

This is just a friendly reminder that I will not be working tomorrow (12/24) and Wednesday (12/25)! If you have any last minute travel needs before the gift-giving and celebrations begin, today is the day to reach out!

I am deeply passionate about the world of rescue dogs. It was my honor this holiday season to help sponsor one of Second Chance Ranch Rescue NH’s longer residents, Beryl, in hopes that someone is able to step up and adopt him. I’m so grateful for the volunteers who work tirelessly to help protect the dogs (and cats!) around the world. Please share this post to help these cuties find a furever home this holiday season.

UPDATE: all dogs have sponsors. Thank you so much.🎄♥️🎅 We are overwhelmed by your support and love. We updated the post below to help avoid duplicate donations.

—
Within HOURS almost all of our adult long term dogs have adoption fee sponsorships.🥲 We are absolutely humbled by the generosity of our followers. ✨🫶

Donna, our first sponsor, asked to sponsor Chance's adoption fee. Her act of kindness created a snow ball effect ☃️ inspiring other generous supporters to help out. ❄️

Some of our adult dogs have been with us months...others YEARS. We hope that assistance with our adult dog's adoption fees can ease the transition for adopters and encourage people to reconsider adoption. Many of our adult dogs go home with HUGE adoption packages.. crates, training lessons, food, and more. We would do anything to help our dogs find great homes.

We will introduce our sponsors in a separate post , until then here is the line up of our adult dogs who are sponsored!

🎁 Ralph sponsored by EDDJordan ✨ Ralph is ~2.5 years old and great with cats & laid back dogs. Needs an adult only house hold with people who are willing to follow some rules with trading toys!

🎁 Chance sponsored by Donna B✨ Chance is ~2.5 years old and great with cats & laid back dogs. Needs an adult only, very active house hold with very few visitors.

🎁 May sponsored by Dog Standard and Igna P✨ May is ~4 years old and great with cats and kids of all ages! Needs a dog free house hold (too picky!) and a home willing to reduce visitors so she can meet people slowly following a specific process.

🎁 Bing B**g sponsored by Marlene Riley ✨ Bing B**g is ~6 years old and is great with dogs, kids, and cats! He has some medical needs (low thyroid, arthritis, and some bathroom routine needs)

🎁 Beryl sponsored by Veronica - Never Look Back Vacations and Alicia Bigos ✨ Beryl is ~1 year old is very playful! He is good with some dogs but can be shy.. and spicy! He would do best with an adult only home. His parents need to be game for some training, exercise, and confidence building!

🎁 Dixie sponsored by Trish Morris Berlack ✨ Dixie is ~3 years old and wonderful with children. She would prefer to be an only pet. She would do best with a family who’s home a lot!

🎁 Blue sponsored by Kerri Singh ✨ Blue is super affectionate with people, she would do best with older kids. She has to be the only pet. She is very laid back and mellow!

If you’re still shopping for a Disney Parks goer in your life — here’s a look at four of my theme park bag essentials that would make great gifts this holiday season! If you’re the theme park traveler, 💾SAVE this post for your next trip!

It was hard to pick just four essentials, but whatever the season or my daily plans are, these items will always stay inside my bag.

🤳Last trip, I used my cross-body Animal Kingdom inspired bag by (seen here!). It held everything I needed perfectly and easily.

One of my favorite souvenirs to get (and gift) are ornaments! It’s a fun way to remember vacations and bring back all the fun memories! And… When I find my name on it? Forget it — it’s coming home with me! 😂

These are hanging on my tree this year, and it’s making me want to book my next trip to asap!
