Adventure Awaits with the Sturgills

Today’s been a cruise heavy day… I feel like wave season is starting early!!!! 🌊 😎

Disney released a new promo today for Disney + subscribers- specific sailings and room categories have kids sailing at 50% off (3rd and 4th guest only when 2 full priced fares are in the same cabin)!!!! 🥳🧚🎆 I may have one held for myself too in May 😂 (FYI- Dream sailings in early and mid May, out of Fort Lauderdale, are the best pricing!!)

Then working on a Ritz Carlton yacht cruise for next December for 14 days starting in Singapore and going to Hong Kong!!! 😎🛥️

This week has been AMAZING for bookings!!! I have booked Disney for a family of 5 over Spring Break at Caribbean Beach, a cruise on Royal Caribbean for a family of 5 for Spring Break (an amazing deal on Oasis of the Seas too!!), a mom/daughter trip to Aruba for a birthday celebration in Feb, and an Alaskan cruise in July of 2026 for a party of three because the pricing is awesome that far out!!!

Working on a quote for a Disney trip for a party of 7 in Sept of next year... as well as a few other cruises, Disney, and Universal trips!!!!

What do you have in the works?! Any fun trips I can help with... I will be headed out of town again over the holidays so let's chat this week if you have an idea you would like a quote for soon.

Royal Beach Club in Nassau coming Dec 2025!!!

This will be a paid entry unlike Perfect Day, but food and beverages will be included!!! Water taxis will transport to you the area and towels and lockers are provided.

Cabanas will cost extra but they look similar to what we had in the HideAway of Perfect Day- and those were amazing!! There is an ultimate family cabana too with a slide and private whirlpool.

New for 2025!!!!! Ambassador Program!!! Let us do the work for you- have a group trip you're considering but do not want to do the planning or work to make it come together- bring the idea to me!!!! You will get to travel for FREE, or a huge discount, and the only thing you have to do is get the group together.

Some ideas- group cruises (reunions, birthday celebrations, etc), Disney or Universal trips, Costa Rica, Hawaii. Europe... there is no limit- but obviously I like to plan trips that I have done myself and feel knowledgeable about.

Thoughts??

Follow along on IG for posts from Costa Rica!!!!

Heading “out of office” on Friday so please be sure to touch base this week with any questions/quote requests/etc.

All final payments have been processed that were due while I’m away. 🥰

I will handle any new quote requests once we return after the holiday weekend.

Thank you for your understanding!!!!

I love productive days that revolve around travel- mine- and my clients!!! ✈️ 🧳 🌎 🏝️🚢 🗺️

Just got my Royal Caribbean and Celebrity travel advisor guides for 25/26- let’s chat if a cruise is on your mind!!!

Also- I have a ton of Disney boxes going out for December and January clients so if you’re traveling soon be on the lookout 🏰 🐭 🎆 🧚

(I loved the idea of labeling passports to make it easier to find everyone’s. And this is how my packing starts- a giant pile of everything I know I want/need. Then I narrow it down based on our actual plans. Followed by packing cubes- and then into the suitcases. My list of what I’m
missing is on top with all my important documents and our itinerary. Yes I’m 2 weeks out, and Amazon orders for the missing pieces have been placed.)

Packages launched today but I’m still sorting through what’s available and when because they are saying some things like one day tickets (beyond AP) and unlimited express passes will be available at a later date BEFORE park opening.

So I’m trying to be patient, even with my own trip… so that we make smart decisions.

Stay tuned.

Now if you know you want a package and you are fine with only one day at Epic during that time span- let me know and I’ll run numbers for you this afternoon.

See screenshot below to see sample pricing in October of next year (my likely first visit unless I can get a one day Epic ticket before then)

Well well well… Disney this was unexpected. Basically they have their own version of Universals Express Pass now.

Enter Premier Pass to the convo. 😭

WDW— Prices for Lightning Lane Premier Passes vary by date and theme park. At launch, prices will range from $129 to $449 (per pass, plus tax), with the highest prices falling on a limited number of days over peak travel periods. Eligible Guests will be able to view prices in the My Disney Experience app.

Anyone already using Mobile Passport?? We noticed the signs at JFK when we landed on Sat from Germany.

I looked more into it and it def has some perks if you do not already have Global Entry- and it’s free!!!!

Let me know if you want me to explain more, but I linked an article below that has tons of helpful info…

Just saved 4 of my 14 early 2025 clients a total of $2760.54!!!! I call this the Disney lottery!!! (Check your emails and DMs) 🥳💰🏰 🎆

Thank goodness the new promo dropped today when I was doing ADR for another client and I got on the phone right away!!! Over 2 hours and 20 min on the phone (while getting ready and during car pool)!!!!

Most of the other clients had bounce back offers which almost ALWAYS is the best pricing!! And 3 were outside the date range, 1 would have to move resorts to get the promo…

Plus booked another bounce back for a client who just checked out last week for next September 😎
