Cortney (and her BFF!) and her girls visited Walt Disney World this month for an AMAZING trip with just the right balance of planning and flexibility. ✨🎄 We worked together to make sure they got to enjoy all four parks, including extra magic like breakfast inside Cinderella's Castle and closing down Magic Kingdom at midnight at Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party!

These smiles say it ALL, and it is an absolute privilege to be trusted with priceless memories. I will never get over how lucky I am to work with such incredible guests! Until next time! 😉

It's time for family and puzzles and gingersnaps and Mexico, so I'm officially OUT OF OFFICE (at least for my regular hours and new bookings) until January 8, 2025. ✨

I'll still pop in around here a little bit during this time, and if you're one of my guests traveling during this time, don't panic because I've still got your back!

I hope you and your family have the most wonderful holiday season available to you, and I can't wait to plan your next vacation together in the new year! 🥳

21/12/2024

Sabrina and her adorable family visited Walt Disney World all the way from Germany! I absolutely loved planning with her (yay for Zoom calls!), and it was so much fun to run into her at Animal Kingdom when I was just in Orlando for a night! They had an epic split stay - half at Animal Kingdom Lodge, and half at Wilderness Lodge - plus Park Hoppers for flexibility and a night at Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. WHEW!

But as an international guest traveling with two young children (ages 6 and 2), she has some amazing tips to share with you:

✨ Get that stroller, even for your bigger kids.
✨ Stay onsite with little kids!! That helped us go alone when [our daughter] was sick and also staying with her in the parks when [our son] needed a break. It was so easy from both resorts! The boat from WL to MK was of course amazing and you dont even have to fold the stroller on the bigger boat, but also the buses from AKL worked great and we never waited long.
✨ We loved the post-firework dessert party!! It saved us from the total madness on the non-party MK day.
✨ The Christmas parties at MK made it so easy at MK during the day, but the other parks were soo crazy on those days. And the non-party days at MK were extremely crowded.
✨ We loved the Christmas party, but our priority also wasn't characters and the parade. Those lines were long, but ride wait times and firework crowds were amazing.
✨ Go with little kids, [our two-year-old] did amazing and she was mostly free for everything!
✨ Do the Lightning Lanes with little kids, even when it is not very busy. 30 mins in line add up with them, and the Lightning Lane system even on non-crowded days allowed us to get on so many rides with them.
✨ (Sabrina also visited solo one day after their onsite stay and experienced transportation and Lightning Lanes without onsite perks.) If it is a busy time and you do not stay on property, you will not get any of the good rides, and there is also not much to rebook until very late in the day.

We're already scheming their next vacation - this time to somewhere tropical! I adore my clients and can't wait to plan with you again, Sabrina! 🌴

Y'all know this is definitely not a "deals" page (although I do work hard to get my guests the best value on their vacations), but THIS IS AN AMAZING OFFER and I can't not share it (how's that for terrible writing?). Disney Cruise promos are super rare though, so let's talk soon (like this week) if you're interested!

WHO: Disney+ Subscribers
WHAT: Save 50% on two guests under 18 when two guests sail for full price
WHEN: Select sailings January 3 - June 30, 2025
WHERE: The Bahamas (including Disney's exclusive island destinations) from Fort Lauderdale, FL or Port Canaveral, FL (on the Disney Wish, Disney Dream, or Disney Wonder)
WHY: Because Disney Cruise Line is the absolute best quality cruise line for families and will be a vacation with memories you will truly treasure.

I've sailed all three of these ships, and I love them ALL for different reasons. Reach out when you see this to get the conversation started so we can get you matched to the best ship and itinerary for your family and start your magical countdown. ✨🛳️

Magical + Tropical = Aulani, A Disney Resort and Spa

It's the perfect blend of Disney magic and Hawaiian culture, plus it's on the island of Oahu with so many opportunities to explore. (My can't-wait-to-sees are Kualoa Ranch [Jurassic Park!], Pearl Harbor, a luau, and waterfalls!)

This is on my Someday list (when I'm not beholden to my kids' sports travel schedules, ha!), but I'm thankful to be able to collaborate with my trusted TA network to put together fantastic resources for my guests in the meantime! 🌴

Okay, I really need to know - AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO ISN'T DONE WITH HER CHRISTMAS SHOPPING? Let's get a poll with post reactions ➡️ LOVE if you're mostly finished but have a few things left, CARE if you're a hot mess like me, and HAHA if you crossed off your list forever ago and are enjoying the holiday season like the rest of us wish we were. 🎄

And if you want to give your favorite travel partner the gift of unforgettable memories, it's not too late to book so you can announce your countdown on Christmas morning!

Reach out via email or snag a consultation time on my calendar soon though because after this week, I'm taking a break from new client calls from December 20 to January 7! ✨

I loved the Disney Wish so much, that I've already booked one of its sister ships, the Disney Destiny, for my family. We won't sail until 2026 (no, that's not a typo), but we're so excited to be counting down to our next Disney Cruise!

I booked early because it gives us more time to budget (no lie, Disney Cruise Line ain't cheap).

I booked the Destiny because I loved the Wish so much, and this ship includes many of the same features, like: 1923 and Worlds of Marvel restaurants, Marceline Market buffet, Mickey & Friends Festival of Foods (pool deck dining), the AquaMouse, Seas the Day show, Hero Zone (inflatable obstacle course).

But it also includes new stuff that we're equally excited about, like: Lion King dining room, amazing adult lounges (De Vil's! Haunted Mansion! Pirates!), a Hercules show, and a stop at Lighthouse Point (in addition to Castaway Cay).

The Destiny sets sail in late 2025, and we can currently start your countdown for any ship's sailings through May 2026. Let's plan together so I can help match you to the right ship and itinerary for your family! 🛳️

The S family had an amazing Disney adventure last month to celebrate one of their boys' birthdays! We snagged an awesome promo that gave them free Park Hoppers, so they were able to avoid Magic Kingdom crowds (party seasons - IYKYK!) and choose their favorite parks to repeat on their last day.

Jessica and I were brand new teachers together when we were just babies fresh out of college (I won't tell you how many years ago that was, ha!), so I absolutely loved reconnecting to plan such a magical vacation with her sweet family. ✨ Thank you again for trusting me with your memories!

My excitement level when The Cake Bake Shop was announced (forever ago) hovered somewhere around 0%. But then I dropped in to join a friend for Key Lime Pie and an Old Fashioned, and it's safe to say I'm officially a fan.

This absolutely gorgeous restaurant is located on the Boardwalk at Walt Disney World (right outside of EPCOT's International Gateway), and you can dine at the restaurant for breakfast, lunch, or dinner (reservations recommended), or just stop by the bakery for one-of-a-kind treats.

Fair warning - you're going to pay a pretty penny for this experience, but it may be as worth it to you as it was to me.

I can't wait to go back. 🎠

I have seriously missed having a nighttime parade at Magic Kingdom, and I am giddy that we’re getting one again this summer! I mean, my last photos of a Disney nighttime parade are from The Main Street Electrical Parade when it came back to Disneyland in 2022 - so I’m long overdue. 🙃

Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away (we have the official name now) will be such a magical way to end a park day, and I’m crossing all my fingers and toes that it debuts before my family’s vacation this June! We know it’s coming this summer though, so let’s get your magical summer countdown started, too! ✨

Unpopular opinion, but you should visit Universal Orlando BEFORE Epic Universe opens. Here are my top 5 reasons!

1. Beat the crowds - everyone else is waiting for the new stuff.
2. Take advantage of TWO extra days for free when you buy two days of tickets!
3. Or if dining is more your thing, get a free dining card during select dates!
4. Universal is a fantastic Spring Break destination and it's easy to plan (especially with my expertise in your corner).
5. An early 2025 trip is the perfect Christmas gift when you have kids who already have everything.

For example, a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 teenagers) can visit during Spring Break (March 8 - 12) and stay at my favorite resort (including water taxi access - no buses) with 4-day Park-to-Park tickets and a $500 dining card for $3,170. Y'all, that's crazy town.

We can start planning your early 2025 vacation with a $50/person deposit and final payment due 45 days before arrival. Let's do this! ✨

Let's be honest, sometimes I don't have the budget for the luxury all-inclusive resorts that earn my highest recommendations (ahem, Atelier, cough cough, my favorite anwhere ever).

But that doesn't mean I'm going to slum it either! And neither are my guests. Enter... Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya. This is my most-booked "budget" resort, and for good reason.

🌴 It's a very active resort, but it's not a crazy party vibe.
🌴 It has 8 restaurants + 3 food trucks, so you're always able to find something you want to eat.
🌴 It matches lots of price points depending on your room category, so it's a great resort for friend trips when everyone has different budgets or priorities.
🌴 It's close to so many great excursions, so it's a great home base for exploring Mexico.
🌴 There is so much to do at the resort - you won't get bored!
🌴 Taco truck + churro cart = mic drop!

Thinking about Valentin for your next Cancun getaway? Let's chat to make sure it's the right fit and match you to the perfect room category if it is! 🌴

When was the last time you took a resort break on a Disney Park day? Or better yet, took a whole DAY off from the parks to enjoy your resort amenities?!

I used to be a parks-all-day-every-day girl, but the more I listen to my people (and my old lady body, ha!), the more I realize how much we appreciate the down time. 🌴

I know, I know, it's tempting to try to spend every waking moment in the parks (I mean, isn't that why you go to Disney destinations in the first place?!), but I promise that quality time beats quantity every. single. time. And hitting your must-do list is so much more enjoyable when you're rested!

Still on the fence? Here's how you can prioritize relaxation on a park trip:

✨ Take a midday transportation break without going back to YOUR resort (i.e. take a loop on the Skyliner or boat from Hollywood Studios or EPCOT, or take a ride on the monorail or boat from Magic Kingdom). This calms the sensory overload with minimal time commitment.
✨ Cut your Animal Kingdom day a little short (it usually closes earlier than the other parks) and spend a chill evening at the pool or watching a movie under the stars.
✨ If you're doing an extra-ticketed event in the evening (think the Halloween or Christmas parties or After Hours), don't go to a park during the day! Sleep in and play mini golf.
✨ Take an early flight there and/or a late flight home to enjoy your resort on your travel days.
✨ Add a night to your vacation so you can enjoy a whole day exploring all of the magic outside of the parks. (Warning: This is next-level Disney, and once you utilize this strategy, there's no going back to your old ways!)

Save this post for your next Disney trip, and for more tips that are personalized to your family's preferences and vacation style, let's plan together! ✨

I don't know which is prettier - the tropical island or this gorgeous couple who celebrated their 10th anniversary at Sandals Grande St. Lucian! 🌴😍

Emily has been one of my guests since the very beginning, and her recent review made me tear up with gratitude (because the feeling is totally mutual - I absolutely love my clients):

"You can NEVER EVER go wrong working with Heather! This was our first time doing a tropical getaway through her and she made it so so easy for us. Her expert knowledge about all the resort options throughout the Caribbean helped us find the best fit for our anniversary trip. She found us the perfect destination in St. Lucia that had the jungle/mountain scenery we desired, all the included water sports and TONS of restaurant options she knew we’d love! Her attention to detail and amazing communication made the planning process so enjoyable. She was even able to quickly help us pivot when we decided last minute to splurge on a helicopter transfer to the resort! She took care of all the last minute changes and helped us feel confident in our choices and get the most bang for our bucks. We’re forever grateful to Heather for always taking such great care of us and insuring our family makes amazing memories!"

Thank you a million times over for trusting me with your family's memories - counting down to the next one already! ✨

06/12/2024

Crystal Palace breakfast at Magic Kingdom was one of my family’s Disney traditions for a long time, but I hadn’t eaten there in years when I finally went back in August! And guys, it’s still as perfect as I remember.

Winnie the Pooh and friends are such a fun character meet (even for people like me who feel uncomfortable at these interactions, ha!), and I personally feel like the breakfast menu is highly underrated. I mean, churro waffles (!!!), shrimp and grits, and hash brown casserole - that’s a win for me for sure! Plus, the natural light is so dreamy.

Pro Tip: Make a reservation for “brunch” around 10:30 so you can enjoy both the breakfast and lunch menus. 😍

It's no secret that I LOVE Disneyland, and it's celebrating its 70th anniversary this summer! I can't think of a better time to start planning a visit for 2025, and here's why...

Beginning May 16 and continuing through the summer, you can "celebrate happy" with so many limited-time anniversary offerings:

✨ A glowed up Sleeping Beauty Castle
✨ A new version of World of Color (the nighttime spectactular at Disney California Adventure) called "World of Color Happiness!"
✨ Projections on Carthay Circle Restaurant
✨ "Better Together: A Pixar Pals Celebration!" returns - I loved this amazing parade last summer!
✨ "Paint the Night" returns as the nighttime parade at Disneyland
✨ "Wondrous Journeys" returns as the nighttime spectacular at Disneyland
✨ And you know Disneyland will bring it with its specialty food game

But there's also a ton of excitement happening all year long, like:
✨ Tiana's Bayou Adventure is open!
✨ “Walt Disney – A Magical Life” debuts at the Main Street Opera House theater at Disneyland park on May 16, 2025
✨ New restaurants and stores are opening in the Downtown Disney district
✨ Seasonal events that bring extra magic throughout the year

There's even a special resort promo that just dropped for summer dates, so let's chat about YOUR visit to The Happiest Place on Earth - grab a spot on my calendar to get started! tidycal.com/heatherfisktravels

Would you rather have your Disney vacation tailored to your family's preferences by a professional who has gotten to know YOU and is in-destination multiple times of year to stay on top of available experiences - OR - be stuck in endless deep dives on Google with potentially inaccurate answers to your questions and in Facebook groups taking advice from strangers who have been to a Disney park once but think they know what's best for your trip?

The problem with endless information and the internet is that it's, well, endless. And it's the internet. 😂 I always say there's no such thing as a one-size-fits-all vacation - because it's true. Ditch the crowdsourcing and plan with an expert who will always have your best interest at heart. ✨

Upgrade your next family vacation with a waterpark right at your all-inclusive resort! 🌴

My top 5 resort waterparks in Mexico are:
💦 Hard Rock Riviera Maya
💦 Iberostar Selection Paraiso Maya
💦 Moon Palace the Grand
💦 Nickelodeon Riviera Maya
💦 Royalton Splash

Keep in mind that these aren't listed in order of preference - each resort is so different! When you hire me to plan your all-inclusive vacation, I work hard to match you to the right resort overall for YOU, based on your vacation style that I learn all about in our consultation call.
