So you want to go to Disney World soon + when the crowds are “lower” + hotel availability is great and dining reservations aren’t too difficult to get…

Me: Then let’s look at July, August, & September 2022

Client: But isn’t it hot?! ☀️

Me: Well, yes! (it’s hot at home too 🫠) So let’s focus on the top attractions in the parks in the morning/at night and then plan for POOL TIME during the hottest part of the day!

If you’ve got little kids, maybe consider a “different” Disney World vacation that *actually feels like a restful vacation* with required pool time, scheduling in naps, and break days!

Let’s talk! It’s not too late to book these months in 2022.

Update on masks on planes!

MASK UPDATE

American, Southwest, Delta, United and Alaska have said masks are now optional domestically.

Internationally, it will depend on the destination and what they require.

News Article:
A federal judge in Florida struck down on Monday the Biden administration's mask mandate for airplanes and other public transport methods, and a Biden administration official says the order is no longer in effect while the ruling is reviewed.
US District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle said the mandate was unlawful because it exceeded the statutory authority of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and because its implementation violated administrative law.
The agencies are reviewing the decision and assessing potential next steps," the Biden administration official said Monday night. "In the meantime, today's court decision means CDC's public transportation masking order is not in effect at this time. Therefore, TSA will not enforce its Security Directives and Emergency Amendment requiring mask use on public transportation and transportation hubs at this time. CDC recommends that people continue to wear masks in indoor public transportation settings.
