Adventures by Stacy Travel Planner affiliated with The Magic For Less Travel, specializing in Disney and Universal. Hi!
(2)

I’m Stacy McGrath and I live in Minnesota with my travel loving family. We love going to theme parks and ocean cruising as well as taking road trips to visit new places, National Parks and other interesting landmarks along the way. The list of places we want to experience only seems to grow, even as we check some off of our list. I have wonderful memories of visiting Walt Disney World and Disneyla

nd as a teenager, but became a devoted and enthusiastic fan when I started bringing my 3 children to Disney World in 2010. Since then we have experienced Disney World (many times!), Disneyland, Disney Cruise Line, Universal Orlando, cruising on Royal Caribbean and Holland America, as well as a multitude of other destinations. I look forward to helping you craft your next adventure through my expert knowledge, attention to detail and providing you with the knowledge that you need along the way.

It’s November! And that means that my lovely clients, along with the grandparents, will soon be headed to the Eastern Caribbean on a 7-Night Very Merrytime Disney Cruise on the Disney Fantasy. I’m so excited for them to visit some gorgeous locations — Tortola, British Virgin Islands, St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Disney Castaway Cay.

Disney cruises are the best and there is something for everyone in the family! Not only will they get to do all of the amazing Disney cruise activities, but they have the added fun of being immersed in the holiday decor along with a tree lighting ceremony, attending Mickey and Minnie’s Holiday Party, meeting Santa Claus and characters in their holiday attire, and many more holiday activities.

If this sounds like fun to you (and why wouldn’t it?!?), just know that staterooms are still available on several Very Merrytime cruises both this year and next year.

🎉 Just booked! A three-generation family Christmas vacation at Walt Disney World!

🌎 They will stay at the lovely Coronado Springs Resort, which blends Spanish, Mexican, and Southwest American cultures to create a vibrant, yet laid-back atmosphere.

🎢 They'll start their trip with a day at Universal Studios Orlando where they can practice their wand skills at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter and experience thrilling rollercoasters throughout the parks.

🏰 After that they will use their Park Hopper passes at Walt Disney World to experience the magic at Magic Kingdom, the many cultures represented at Epcot, and all of the new additions throughout the four parks!

🐬 SeaWorld is the last park on their agenda to cap off an action-packed week! With a recent promo, I was able to add All Day Dining to their tickets for free, so they'll be well-fueled for a day of learning about aquatic animals, watching dolpins and Orca whales in action, and experiencing fun and thrilling rides.

⭐️ There's something for everyone in their vacation plans and I know they will have an amazing time and create memories that will last a lifetime!

If you've ever been on a Disney cruise, you know the staterooms are amazing! From the split bathrooms, rooms accommodating families of 4 or even 5 people, to the "magical" porthole in the inside stateroom. Check out how they go above and beyond!

5 Things I’ve Learned Since Becoming a Travel Planner

1. It’s never too early or too late to book a trip. However … the earlier, the better. You'll have the advantage of more options and more time to anticipate the trip!

2. Always build in downtime during your vacation schedule. Sometimes this can be a tough one, but it's no fun when people are tired and cranky. A little downtime can make the rest of the scheduled time more enjoyable.

3. You get what you pay for almost every time. You simply aren't going to get deluxe accommodation amenities when you book a value resort. That's not to say a value resort is necessarily a bad option - just don't expect the same experience.

4. A positive mindset can make your vacation so much more enjoyable. You're on vacation - reset your mood and enjoy it to the fullest!

5. There will sometimes be mishaps or events that don’t go as planned, so learn to embrace the unexpected! Hey, sometimes these can be the experiences that are the most memorable and that you think back and laugh about. Sometimes they're better forgotten, but the quicker you can mentally recover, the better for your vacation.

Peter Pan and Captain Hook have finally made their way onto the Disney Treasure’s stern! Drop some pixie dust in the comments to celebrate. ✨

24/07/2024

All of the reports I’m hearing this morning say that the new process of scheduling the new Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Single Pass was really easy and quick. 🥳

I’ll be testing it out in a couple of days for my own upcoming trip and I’m curious to see what ride availability will be like when it’s my turn. Stay tuned!

24/07/2024

If you’ve been to Disney World in the last three years you likely know how complicated the Genie+ system has been. Tomorrow we’ll usher in a new system that I believe will make using lightning lanes so much easier. And hopefully everyone can spend a little less time on their phones and more time making memories!

***I’ll be testing it out in just a few days for my upcoming trip and I look forward to sharing my experience with you!

☀️☀️☀️

4️⃣ Day 🎟️: Visit Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom with the 4-Day, 4-Park Magic Ticket now through September 22, 2024. Prices start at $99 per day, plus tax for adults, or $79 per day, plus tax for children ages 3-9.

3️⃣ Day 🎟️: If you're short on vacation days (or maybe you want to combine it with a ticket to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party), you may want to take advantage of the specially priced 3-Day, 3-Park Ticket to Walt Disney World.

Have you ever considered a last-minute trip to Disney World? I keep seeing the great deals available to my clients for travel this summer...and I couldn't resist. I just booked a trip for my own family with check-in less than a month away!

If you've thought about heading to Disney World (or Universal, Disneyland, Disney Cruise, etc.) in the next few months, reach out and I can see what great discounts are available for you!

No need to worry about being prepared! I provide helpful emails that not only introduce you to everything you need to know, but I will also send tips to get the most out of your trip!

Here are a few things I'm excited about with our upcoming trip!

✨ Staying at TWO resorts that I've never stayed at before - POP Century and Wilderness Lodge.

✨ ️ Experiencing Tiana's Bayou Adventure, which just recently opened.

✨ Behind the Seeds tour for my husband and daughter. They are both obsessed with plants and gardening.

✨ I scored some amazing dining reservations -- even with it being so last minute. I was able to secure a Topolino's Terrace character breakfast just one month ahead.

✨ ️ We're also revisiting some character meals that we haven't been to in a looong time, including Garden Grill at EPCOT and Tusker House at Animal Kingdom.

✨ ️ I will be among the first to use the new Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Single Pass system. I think this change will make visiting the parks so much easier for everyone and will hopefully allow us to put down our phones a little more. However, any time a new system is put into place there can be unexpected nuances. I'm excited that I will be able to experience this myself so that I can provide helpful info and tips to my clients.
