Our team has been on the phone for hours at a time ensuring our clients are feeling safe and secure with whatever travel decisions they make this week. We're talking 10 plus hours a day on the phone talking with clients, speaking with Disney, Cruise Lines, and Universal Orlando moving clients, adding/removing days to a trip, canceling long awaited vacations if need be, and doing everything we can on behalf of the clients that trust us with their vacation investments.

When you say you can book your travel yourself, I’m sure you can. But what you’re missing is the knowledge, guidance, expertise, and literal uncountable hours saved planning your vacation. I’m not just talking about weeks like these; we work hard daily to make sure our clients have the best trips possible. I cannot imagine the average person navigating a week like this without the help of a travel planner.

The next time you’re looking to travel, I hope you’ll think of us at

One of the fun things on my recent Royal Caribbean cruise was coming back to the stateroom each night and seeing the towel animals our steward left for us.

Second port excursion of my Royal Caribbean cruise is their private island, Perfect Day ay Coco Cay. It’s gorgeous and fun and you can do a ton of activities without spending any money. The other agents and I did spring for passes to the adults only area, Hideaway Beach.

Just quoted a small group Tauck tour to Italy (Tuscany and Umbria) for October 2025.

The 8-day guided tour includes a drive to the heart of Chianti country, an al fresco wine pairing lunch in a vineyard, lunch prepared by a Michelin starred chef and an opportunity to meet the author of Under the Tuscan Sun!!

The tour also includes a cooking class and lunch on a truffle farm.

For all of the above (including 15 meals), plus lodging, fees, taxes, gratuities, etc., the tour starts at only $4,990 per person! These tours are truly memorable and Tauck is a top-notch company.

Let me know if you'd like a quote - I'm a full service travel agent booking all over the world!

So excited for the "E" family, who had such an awesome time at Disney's Art of Animation resort last month that they have booked the Cars Suite for their trip in August 2025! This family has been an absolutely joy to work with and I can't wait to hear about the new memories they make next year!

Did you know you get Magical Extras when you stay on property at Walt Disney World with a room and ticket package?

One of the extras is vouchers for mini golf, either at Winter Summerland or Fantasia Gardens.

I did both the Winter and Summer courses at Winter Summerland recently and it was SO much fun! Themed music plays, there are fun signs in front of each hole with riddles, and there are elaborate setups along the way.

Hello everyone! Time to re-introduce myself!

My name is Kathy and I am a travel agent with The Vacationeer. I live just north of Philadelphia, PA and have one son.

I love to help people plan trips all over the world! While Disney destinations (the parks, cruises, Adventures by Disney) hold a special place in my heart, I have also traveled to and book Universal, various cruise lines, all-inclusive resorts, other theme parks (Dollywood, Knott’s Berry Farm, etc.), you name it!

And I am fortunate to work with exceptional agents who can assist with destinations I may not have experience with.

Please email me if you are thinking of traveling anywhere and I will be happy to provide a free quote! [email protected]

What better way to relax than to enjoy spa treatments at sea? The Senses Spa on the Disney Wish has so many options. My favorite? The Rainforest area.

Have you been on a Disney cruise yet? They’re amazing! I was on the Disney Wish a few weeks ago and everything from the food to the characters to the kids clubs are fantastic!

It's been forever since I posted here! Been busy quoting trips. Today I quoted Disney's Contemporary Resort, Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort and Disney's Port Orleans - French Quarter.

And here are some photos from my trip to WDW a couple weeks ago! I saw the new Country Bears Jamboree Show (music was awesome!), ate at the Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical R***e and rode ALL the rides, lol!
