Gorgeous Amy with Happy Travel Company was one of our awesome agents who was soaking up the sun in CA this week!

I'm so looking forward to all of the knowledge that she and Samantha at Happy Travel Co. have to share with the rest of us agents so we can better help our clients plan their perfect Disney vacation!

And Amy you're still gorgeous even with your eyes closed! 🥰😂

Cliffs Notes Version (or TLDR for the cool kids): my trip is sponsored by Disneyland and Happy Travel Co, so please engage, comment, like, share everything over the next few days so I can continue to have these opportunities. Also, who closes their eyes in a selfie?!

I’m at Disneyland!!!! I have an amazing opportunity to learn even more about Disneyland Resort so I can be the best travel agent for you! I’m so excited to be sponsored by Disneyland and Happy Travel Co and share everything going on at the Happiest Place on Earth!

I will be bombarding you all with Disneyland content over the next few days. I promise posting will go back to normal by the end of the week, so please be patient if this isn’t your thing. Also, engagement matters a lot in this case. As in, it makes a difference in what sort of opportunities we’ll have going forward, so please help with my engagement by liking and commenting as often as you can. And if you can share some posts or even my page, that would be SO amazing and appreciated.

There is so much going on at Disneyland Reaort right now, and I’m going to try to share a taste of it all! Stay tuned for general park content, snacks, Pixar Fest, and Season of the Force! I can’t wait to take you all along with me.

Also keep in mind, I’m a geriatric millennial, so I know enough to be dangerous but not great at this social media thing. And selfies. For example, my selfie below. I managed to close my eyes taking a picture of myself. Who does that?!

Always happy to help!! ❤️❤️❤️

Wishing my fellow HTC agents a wonderful west coast trip! 🥰

Takeaways from so far:

1. I knew it would be more compact than , but it is WAY more compact than WDW. 😳 It’s only a 5 minute walk from Disneyland Hotel to BOTH parks! You know I am not a fan of Disney bus transportation, so this is ideal!

2. I don’t spy many people wearing Minnie Ears at the resort! Where are the ears, DL’ers?! 🐭

3. I love palm trees. 🌴 There are so many here!

4. Even acrossed the country, people still look at you like you are unhinged when you check in for a party of 1. 😂

Disney is better with friends.

One of my favorite is to find the local diners. They don't have some sort of fancy cult following, they're not trendy and they don't cost an arm and a leg for basic sustenance. You see locals come in and order their "usual" and the gum-popping waitress calls you "doll" or "sugar".

Traveling, depsite being a wonderful and exciting experience, is oftentimes stressful. These places make you feel like home.

Not me over here dreaming of the food at Ohana. 🤤

Here's another FAQ Friday!

What's the advantage of booking through a travel agent when it's the year 2023 and booking vacations myself couldn't be easier?

What a solid question. And, truthfully, for some people it might just be easier to book it themselves. My father (who is probably mostly responsible for my superb trip-planning skills) still gets the urge to book his own vacations and trips. Some of us are just hardwired that way.

The obvious is answer is that we plan for people who can't plan themselves. A recent client booked an overnight trip for her and her husband in a city. She had no idea where the closest parking was to her hotel, how much it was, how she was going to get to the event venue, where was the closest yarn store....you know, the important information you need to know when travelling. I listed all of the closest parking areas, their rates, the websites where you could reserve parking, the different methods of transportation to the venue and the pros and cons of each one. We think about the things you don't think about so you don't HAVE to think about them.

Another person had told me, "CAN I book my own vacation? Sure. Do I WANT to book it? Not at all." There are plenty of people who know EXACTLY where they want to go and what they want to do. Having someone do the booking for them is just one less thing they have to worry about.

For people who can relate to my dad and I and are super-planners, the advantage of booking through an agent might be that we have closer and quicker access to the promotions and deals that are going on. We might even have the ability to apply a new promotion to a current booking. If you're still confident in your self-sufficiency, I'm then going to give you my best puppy dog eyes and explain to you that you are helping a small business owner at absolutely no additional cost than what you would be spending if you HADN'T gone through an agent. Who knows, you might find some other advantage of using us along the way.

Regardless of who you are or what your level of planning expertise, there is always a reason to use a travel planner! Message me today to find out how I can help you!

Proof that I kinda maybe sorta at least a little bit know a thing or two about Disney Parks. 😂

Although I know a LOT about Disney, I will never claim to know everything (that's just a statistical impossibility). But I do promise to continue learning and educating myself to provide you with the best services I have to offer. One of the best ways I can learn is booking your vacations!

One of my favorite things about Disney is that there is practically an infinite number of things to do and try, its almost impossible to do and try everything in a lifetime!

One of my LEAST favorite things is that it's almost impossible to try everything in a lifetime. 😢

Anywho, this past trip I had the absolute pleasure of finally dining at Sanaa and trying their fan-favorite bread service. 🤤I can't tell you the names of any of the breads or sauces, but I can tell you literally every single one was delicious.

What's a Disney restaurant you're aching to try for the first time?

Who's wimping out and going to bed before the ball drops? 🙋🏻‍♀️

I am so excited to have started my journey as a certified Disney travel agent in 2023. I have big goals for 2024 including:
--taking a Disney trip myself
--helping at least one family plan a trip to Disney

What are some of your goals for 2024? Any travel plans?

Ah, one year ago Mr. Manfriend and I were enjoying a nice Christmas Eve dinner at Ohana. ❤️ Not exactly traditional, but we enjoy the occasional stray from tradition. Also

Anyway, no matter where or how you're celebrating the holidays, me and mine wish you and yours a very merry and happy one. 🎄🔔🎶🌟

There is nothing like the holidays in Disney.

Last year, I visited Animal Kingdom on Christmas Day and had the "pleasure" of experiencing the parks in 40 degree weather. 🥶 Regardless, it was still a magical experience and I can't wait to go back for another holiday! It truly is the most magical time in the most magical place. ✨✨

24/11/2023

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday that was filled with family, friends, and great food!
