Up late tonight, tag-teaming with my client to get all her port adventures and onboard activities for her 9 night Disney cruise to Alaska😍 Bears, glaciers, seafood, seaplane, helicopters, and more, and on top of that, they are going without their kids! How fun is that??

The L Family had another successful Disney cruise during their spring break! They went ziplining in Jamaica, visited friendly stingrays in The Cayman Islands, went on a honey, chocolate and tequila tour in Cozumel, and enjoyed all of the amenities offered on Castaway Cay😍 Mrs. L said their next cruise will be to Europe! Thank you for planning your cruises with me, L Family!

Did you know you can actually save money on your next Disney cruise by booking a placeholder on your current cruise? You can get 10% off your next cruise just by placing a $250 deposit. This placeholder becomes an open-ended reservation, which will allow you to select a future sailing at a later date. I do this on my own cruises because I love Disney cruises and I love saving money❤️

Oh Miss E😍 I LOVE seeing pictures of multi-generational trips as they remind me of my own family's trips to Disney World through the years. It's the best thing in the world to see things through the eyes of the kids! Little Miss E and her entourage had a magical time at Disney World! Look at her twinning with Moana, and hanging out with some other cool characters🤩 Thank you R, F, and C Families for choosing to plan your Disney vacation with me!

The P Family did Universal right! The stayed a whole week at Hard Rock Hotel, enjoyed club level offerings, and did ALL the things! Miss C was a daredevil and rode Hollywood Rip Ride Rock-It and Mr. J loved all the Jurassic Park attractions! Thanks for planning your second trip with me, P Family😍

If you want to plan a Disney World vacation, and you love New Orleans, then a stay at Port Orleans French Quarter is a must! This moderate resort is really charming, and even has those cobblestone streets and gas lamps similar to what you might find at the real deal.
What I like about this resort:
⚜️It's small and easy to walk around, and has a short walk to the bus stop
⚜️It has a fun pool with a blue sea serpent slide
⚜️You can enjoy a nice boat ride to Disney Springs
⚜️You can share amenities with it's sister resort, Port Orleans Riverside
⚜️Live jazz music five nights a week

The logistics of a cruise vacation can be daunting, but my job is to streamline the process to make it easy for my guests. 😌✨

🫧 🏨One recommendation I make is to stay inside the "Disney bubble" pre-cruise, AND book the Disney Cruise Line bus to the port. Here’s why:

Early Arrival: Since you should ALWAYS arrive a day before your cruise, kick-off the magic early at Walt Disney World and use Disney transportation to get to the port.

Priority Boarding: If you book Disney transportation, it offers you a better cruise boarding slot, avoiding the rush and starts your cruise off smoothly.

Luggage Delivery: Pack a day bag and let Disney handle the rest. Once on the motor-coach, you won’t touch your luggage until it’s delivered directly to your stateroom.

Stress-Free Travel: Disney ensures your timely arrival at the port, eliminating worries about traffic or delays. If unexpected issues arise, Disney waits for you – that doesn’t happen using any other port transportation.

Reach out to me if you would like to plan an unforgettable Disney cruise from start to finish! I will help you with everything from staterooms to online check-in to your arrival back in port!

Attention Disney loving adults...you do not have to go to Disney Springs to enjoy some nightlife on your Walt Disney World vacation. Take a bus, boat, walk or hop on the Skyliner over to Disney’s BoardWalk, and you’ll be so glad you read this post! Not only is the ambiance enchanting and picture perfect for a romantic waterside stroll, there is so much for the 21 and over crowd. To name a few:

🎹 Jellyrolls Dueling Piano Bar

💃🏻 Atlantic Dance Hall

🎩 Abracadabar

🍹 BoardWalk Joe’s Margarita Stand

🎯 Midway Games & Entertainment

👡 You can walk right into/out of EPCOT

If you'd like to learn more about WDW nightlife and plan an adults-only vacation or a family trip that makes time for everyone, contact me at [email protected]

In 7 days, the G Family will get to say Aloha to The Polynesian Village Resort at Walt Disney World! As everyone probably knows by now, this is my favorite resort at Disney World, so when someone stays there, I get really excited! Enjoy your trip!

04/03/2024

Disney Cruise Line Tip: *Most* items from Room Service are included in the cost of your cruise fare, so start your Disney cruise off right by getting a drink and a snack (alcohol is an extra charge), and relax in your stateroom for a bit before heading to dinner or the show for that evening😍 Also, make sure you bring a little cash to tip the delivery people! I usually give at least $1 per item I order.

01/03/2024

Use the porters at Disney Cruise Line ports! They are so helpful and make the debarkation process go much quicker and easier.

Little Miss Princess E will soon be getting to lead her entourage of aunties, parents, grandparents, and great grandparents around Walt Disney World with a stay at Disney's Yacht Club Resort for a week! She's also celebrating turning 3! I hope the entourage is bringing lots of money because Miss E will need lots of souvenirs😍 This is what happens when you're little and cute-you get ALL the things!

28/02/2024

I LOVE the new rooms at Boardwalk Inn! Not only are the rooms gorgeous, but when you stay at a Disney Deluxe Resort, you get Extended Evening Hours on select nights!

27/02/2024

This is my absolute favorite Epcot festival! I love the topiaries and all the good food and drinks! I highly recommend the violet lemonade at Pineapple Promenade-it's so refreshing!

25/02/2024

Do you love Dole Whips? This iconic pineapple treat is a must-have and can be found in several places, in addition to Aloha Isle in The Magic Kingdom. But, if you plan to spend your arrival day at Disney Springs and just can’t wait to indulge, stop by Swirls on the Water to get your fix. They offer a couple of specialty items and samplers so you can taste a few flavors! Or if you’re checking into the Polynesian Village or Coronado Springs Resorts they have it there too!

22/02/2024

The P twins must be getting excited to visit Universal Orlando next week! I can't wait to see all the pictures!

19/02/2024

I need to get better at posting my clients' upcoming trips!

I am so excited for the L Family, who will be going on their 2nd Disney cruise very soon! This time, they get to stop at my favorite private island, Castaway Cay🤩

Bon Voyage, L Family! Enjoy the ship and all it has to offer🛳⛱🌴🍹

More memories, less stuff has been a big thing for many families. Over the years, kids forget the toys, we forget the sweaters and the closets just get more full. Why not try something this year and take the family on an exciting holiday adventure! Disney Cruise Line’s Merrytime sailings are the perfect blend of sun, sand and holiday magic. I bet Santa would prefer to walk through sand over snow any day to deliver your stockings of goodies. What questions do you have about these fun themed cruises and how the holidays could look for your family? I have my Very Merrytime cruise booked for November of this year, and I cannot wait!

Did you know that in addition to the Very Merrytime cruises, Disney Cruise Line also has Halloween on the High Seas, Pixar Day at Sea, and Marvel Day at Sea? Talk about a fun time!

If you're a Disney Parks type of person, you should definitely consider a cruise! They are lots of fun, and very relaxing😍

How I can help you:
Choose the best stateroom for your family
Book your onboard and port activities
Book your transportation to the port
Help you learn about online check-in, Embarkation, and Debarkation
Plus you get all the lowdown on Castaway Cay (if stopping there), the Navigator app, and anything else you need to know about Disney cruises.

Next month, I will be hopping on an 8 hour flight heading to Disney's Aulani Resort and Spa to celebrate my daughter's last high school spring break! I am so excited to show her all the cool things on the island, one of which is a whale watch! We will also eat all my favorite foods (does anyone else love poke as much as I do?), and enjoy 80 minute Lomi lomi massages😍

So tell me, where are you going for Spring Break this year? Anyplace exciting, or are you just going to relax at home?

Cruise vacations don’t have to be all about bathing suits and white sand beaches...how about some of the OTHER white stuff? Alaskan cruise vacations are HOT (in a cool way) these days. What was once a bucket list vacation is now topping guests’ lists. Would you ever consider sailing to Alaska? What questions can I answer about this one of a kind cruise adventure?

03/02/2024

Okay, did anyone realize it's Ice Cream For Breakfast Day, and will you be partaking in this special day? I know I will! Speaking of ice cream, which Disney parks location has the best do you think? I have tried almost all of them, but I have two favorites...the coconut soft serve at Aloha Isle in Magic Kingdom, and the roasted pineapple sherbet at Salt & Straw at Disney Springs. (I don't think that flavor is on the regular menu right now)

Now, if you are on a Disney cruise, you can get unlimited soft-serve ice cream all day, and it's included in your cruise fare. They even have the ice cream machines on Castaway Cay. My favorite thing to do is to eat lunch, then grab a cone. When we are getting ready to go back to the ship, I grab one more cone for the road🤣

So tell me what your favorite is!

01/02/2024

I can't believe we are already into February! Let's get those trips planned now ,before any price changes occur. For Disney World, ticket prices *usually* go up in February!

5 years of creating magic for my clients❤️ My first visit to Disney World was in 1978, when there was only little ‘ole Magic Kingdom. No one needed a travel advisor to help plan your visit back then, as it wasn’t so complex like it is today😬 Nowadays, I love helping people experience Disney the way I did growing up, and I’m so grateful to have this amazing job! I actually get excited for my clients’ trips as much as I do for my own😊🤗

A Disney Cruise Line vacation is not just a floating character meet & greet, and although kids will love it, so will the adults. Between the drool worthy dining options at adults-only Palo, to relaxing in the adults only pool areas, spa treatments, cleverly themed bars & lounges and Broadway style entertainment, you may find yourself wondering why you even brought the kids!

What’s your favorite Disney Cruise Line adult indulgence? I think mine is Palo and Serenity Bay at Castaway Cay😍

It's no secret that Epcot's World Showcase is a huge draw for all the food and beverages, but one that should not be missed just for the visuals, is EPCOT’S Canada pavilion! It is truly a gem and way more than just maple popcorn and a KidCot station. It’s gorgeous, educational, inspiring, offers some amazing photo backdrops and has some really unique merchandise in the two small shops. Make sure you take some time to look around! You'll want to stop to admire and read about the hand-carved totem pole. That’s no machine-made replica! So unique and impressive. Also, take a stroll through the beautiful Butchart-inspired gardens in Victoria, BC. Another favorite spot is toward the back-you will find some pretty waterfalls that make a great backdrop for family photos.

National Popcorn Day! Which type is your favorite? If we're talking Disney, popcorn just tastes better there. Maybe they sprinkle it with pixie dust to make it so good?? There is one other one that I love at Disney World, and that is the Maple popcorn from The Canada Pavilion at Epcot, which tastes similar to kettle corn, but better.

Tip: Buy a popcorn bucket at one of the popcorn kiosks at Disney World or Disneyland, and you can get refills for $2.25 each! As for the popcorn buckets themselves, there are some really cool themed-ones like Simba or a musical Christmas one. You can also choose just a basic bucket which has a lid and a handle, and you can attach it to your backpack to carry it around.
