Utopia of the Seas joins Royal Caribbean's fleet next month and it looks like an awesome ship!! Thrilled for my newest Utopia of the Seas guests who will be setting sail next year - these three families with kids of all ages will have a blast visiting Cozumel together.

🥳SURPRISE! 📣 Walt Disney World Resort hotel rooms and theme park tickets for dates from January to October 2025 are now open to book!! This was a fun surprise to learn yesterday because all my 2025 guests thought this day was months away and so did I! Way to keep us on toes, Disney!

🏖And guess what?! In 2025, resort guests will also be able to begin their vacation with a new water park perk - free admission to either of the Walt Disney World waterparks on your day of check-in! 🌊

Reach out me to start planning your 2025 Walt Disney World vacation!

Why use a travel agent when booking your vacation? I can save you money!! Walt Disney World recently dropped a new promo and I knew my guests who booked with me in September would be eligible for it - wait, what?! You can apply promos to already booked vacations?! YES! And most guests who book on their own NEVER know this so they often spending hundreds of dollars more than they need to! A phone call to Disney, a few emails with my guest and they now are getting $700 off their spring break vacation next month! That savings is about the cost of one and a half nights at their resort. Oh AND...I got them an upgrade to a Cars suite which would have cost more than their original suite choice in September. Seriously, it just makes sense to use a *FREE* travel agent to find you the best deals and make your life easier by planning your whole trip for you!

There is something for everyone on the Wonder of the Seas! A family of three generations will be setting sail in December to enjoy Royal Caribbean's second newest ship. Just because Santa will be onboard doesn't mean you have to sail to the North Pole. This beautiful ship is not even two years old and will be sailing the Eastern Caribbean - drink some hot cocoa onboard, lay under the palm trees on land, it's the perfect holiday getaway! If you want to sail away on Wonder, the Icon of the Seas which has its inaugural sailing next week or any Royal Caribbean ship, message me!

Think a Disney vacation is only fun if you have kids with you? Nope! There’s so much to do for any age and I’m excited for my newest guests! Two sisters who haven’t been to Disney World in 25 years! They will have a blast at Disney’s Beach Club Resort and will get to enjoy all the comforts of Club Level when they aren’t park hopping or trying amazing restaurants. I would love to also help you plan a grown-ups only trip to Disney!

Not to mention, the more you save on your resort, the more money you have to use on vacation for amazing meals and shopping.

Disney® Visa® Cardmembers! can save up to 35% on rooms at select Disney Resort hotels with this special offer—which includes the following Cardmember-exclusive discounts:

Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside: Save 35%

August 27 to September 7, 2023

My family is headed to Disney World this year thanks to this great offer, now is the time to let me plan your family's visit, at no cost to you!

03/03/2023

This morning as I was flipping through my Instagram stories, this picture popped up. It was posted by one of my guests who arrived last night at Art of Animation Resort for first family trip to Disney World. The picture was taken from a room in the Cars section of the resort, however we booked the Little Mermaid section. I immediately texted my guests to ask if they got a pixie dust upgrade. I was so excited when they wrote back that they did!

What awesome way to start their first trip to Disney World! Another fun thing about this family trip is mom and dad didn’t tell the kids where they were going ok vacation until they got to the resort. All the kids knew was that they were going somewhere with a pool! This was even a hard secret for me to keep because this family are our very good friends who we see almost every day! We’ve had plenty of hushed conversations out of earshot of the kids over the last few months. 🤪

How do you tell your family you are going on a Walt Disney World vacation? Do you wait until you arrive to reveal the surprise? I know that my own excitement would be too much to ever keep that secret from my daughter. 🤣 Does Mickey write a letter or maybe a scavenger hunt of clues? Or are the kids in on it from the beginning so they can help with all the planning?

02/02/2023

Think you’re too late to book a spring break trip? Nope! Two great families will now be spending the week together in the Western Caribbean on the Disney Fantasy!

They came to me with the hope that they could still plan a great vacation with their kids and not only are they sailing away, they are doing it with extra money in their pockets thanks to the Disney Cruise Line Disney+ promo that includes third and fourth guests free with two full-fare guests! Message me to see where you can relax and have fun this spring break!
