✨ Behind the Magic ✨

Ever wonder where all the vacation-planning magic happens? Here's a little behind-the-scenes peek! 🌟

When I’m working on bookings, making calls to suppliers or clients, or meeting virtually, you’ll usually find me tucked away in our home office. It’s my quiet zone where personal information stays safe and confidential.

But when it comes to creating quotes or working on social media, I love the flexibility of moving from my laptop to my iPad so I can stay close to my family. Whether I’m at the dining room table or curled up on the living room couch, I get to work while hanging out with the ones I love most. Sometimes, I even share what I’m working on—showing them beautiful destinations I’m quoting or chatting about the rich history of certain places.

Being able to blend my passion for helping others plan amazing vacations with quality time at home (and the ease of working from anywhere!) is something I cherish every day. 💕

🎢 Universal Orlando’s Express Pass: Worth the Hype? Let’s Break It Down! 🎟️

If you’ve ever wondered how to maximize your time at Universal, the Express Pass is a game-changer! Here’s everything you need to know:

✨ What is the Express Pass?
The Express Pass lets you skip the regular lines at most attractions in Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure. That means more rides, less waiting!

🔥 How Can You Get It?
Stay at a Premier Resort: Guests at Hard Rock Hotel, Loews Portofino Bay, or Loews Royal Pacific get Unlimited Express Passes INCLUDED with their stay! (This perk can be worth more than the cost of the hotel itself!)
Purchase Separately: You can add the Express Pass to your park tickets. Prices vary depending on the season and type (Single Use vs. Unlimited).

🚀 Why is it Awesome?
More Time for Fun: Skip the lines and squeeze in more rides, shows, and attractions.
Less Stress: Especially during busy times, having an Express Pass ensures you don’t spend most of your day in queues.
Perfect for Families: Little ones (or adults!) with shorter patience? The Express Pass is a lifesaver.

🛑 Do You Need It?
Not Always: During slower times, the regular lines may not be too long.
Must-Have During Peak Times: If you’re visiting during holidays, summer, or special events, an Express Pass can save you HOURS.

🧙‍♂️ Bonus Tip for Harry Potter Fans: The Express Pass works on some Wizarding World rides (Escape from Gringotts and The Forbidden Journey), but not on Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure.

If you’re debating whether to add it, I can help you decide based on your trip dates and plans. Let me help you find the best way to maximize your time at Universal!

Are you ready to skip the lines and dive into the fun? Let’s make it happen! 🪄🎢
