The Cake Bake Shop is now open!! 🎂🦢✨

Mickeyblog stopped by the bakery at The Cake Bake Shop this morning and tried so many delicious treats! The interior is absolutely stunning with gorgeous chandeliers and decor. There was also merchandise available for purchase. You can stop in here daily from 7am-11pm at Disney’s Boardwalk! This is the perfect place to stop by and grab a sweet treat and a coffee 🍰☕️

Not only is The Cake Bake Shop known for its delicious treats, but also for its beautiful and unique experience. The cast members were so kind and shared with us the story of Brûlée the dragon. Brûlée flies around the shop during the night and drops pixie dust, in the morning they collect it and give it to guests to make wishes!

The Cake Bake Shop restaurant will also be open daily from 7a-11am for breakfast and 11am-11pm for lunch and dinner. At this time they are not offering reservations as it is walk-in only. They hope to open up reservations on My Disney Experience sometime in November.

👏🏻 Let’s get real about Travel Agents for a second.

I’ve heard lot of people say various things over the past few months that simply aren’t true. Some have been innocent comments, others have been inquiries from people who are considering this as a career. So, I’d like to clear up a few myths about Travel Agents.

1. Travel Agents do not travel for free. We do not get huge discounts on airfare, hotels, tickets, etc. If you are lucky enough to qualify for special Travel Agent rates, that is because you have reached a certain level in your career. You have to put in some serious hard work to earn any sort of benefits. Those who qualify for these rates really deserve it. ☺️

2. Travel Agents do not work for Disney, Universal, Sandals, etc. In my case, I am an independent agent for an incredible host agency, MickeyTravels. We do not reap the benefits of any of those larger companies (for example, we don’t get into Disney for free!) We are independent entrepreneurs trying to make our business known. 😅

3. Travel Agents are not salaried or “hourlied”. We do not get paid until our clients TRAVEL. That’s right. We put in hours of hard work and planning before you even get to your destination. Essentially, for free. We get a commission once you have fully travelled, but if you cancel your trip in the middle of the planning process, we do not get paid. If you book your trip through Expedia, we do not get paid. If you book on your own and choose a horrible hotel, you have an awful experience and we do not get paid. 🥴

5. It hurts our feelings when we see you traveling without us. I don’t say that to sound whiny. I say that because it’s true. We take it personally. We don’t spend hours trying to market ourselves on social media for the fun of it. We do it to get the word out and hopefully bring in some business. Please consider reaching out to a Travel Agent next time you plan a trip. Even if we can’t help you, for whatever reason, it would mean the world to know you thought of us. 😕

6. We love what we do. Honestly. This is a demanding career and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Whether it’s a quick trip to Disney or a week long stay, we get so much joy from seeing our clients HAPPY. Travel is our passion. We didn’t get into this career to make the big bucks (see number 3) or live glamorous lives (see number 1). We do this because it’s what we LOVE. 🥰

7. Supporting a Travel Agent goes far beyond booking a trip with them. Share their page. If you’re a past client, leave them a review. Tell your family and friends. Like their Instagram posts. We live in a world of social media, but we rely on others to help spread the word. 💯

So.

I hope that sheds some light on what it means to be a Travel Agent. Hard work and dedication will pay off. But we can’t do this on our own. We need YOUR support. So thank you in advance. We truly, truly appreciate YOU, the clients, family, friends and supporters!
