About Blythe
Welcome to Polka Dots N’ Wishes Travel! I am thrilled that you have found your way here. I’m Blythe Royaards and I’m a travel agent that specializes in Disney Destinations, Royal Caribbean cruises, Universal Studios and much more! My clients are SO important to me and I want nothing more than for each of them to experience the best MAGICAL vacation for their family!
One of my earliest memories of Disney World was during a family vacation when I was 6 years old. It was during the summer and, on this particular day, my family was at MGM Studios, now Hollywood Studios. We had just finished eating lunch and my parents let my brothers and I spend the next hour on the Honey I Shrunk the Kids playground. Its been 29 years since that trip but I vividly remember being amazed at the 30 ft tall grass and the exhilarating feeling of sitting on a giant ant!
The precious memories that I have of all of the vacations and adventures that we took growing up far outweigh any other childhood memory! When Eric and I got married 11 years ago we knew that we would make traveling a priority for our family. Over the years, we have taken many trips that were just the two of us, trips that included our entire family, weekend getaways, week long adventures and hundreds of quick day trips! We’ve been to Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Dollywood, and many others. Recently, we took 3 day vacation to Universal Studios. Even though we were only in the park for one day, our children still talk about the road trip down, staying in the hotel room, being surprised with t-shirts, visiting The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, riding the E.T Adventure and much more!
The age range of our children is 3-8 years old and we love every minute of the chaos! When planning our trips, I not only need to keep our large family size in mind but we also have children that various diagnoses that include Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome, ADHD and several other special differences. These differences do not ever prevent us from traveling but we do pay extra special attention to where we are staying, places/rides that might not be accessible to everyone in our family, where we can find low sensory stimulation areas, which restaurants have the MOST delicious food and still meet dietary restrictions and so much more. We believe in living ALL of life together and creating magical memories that truly last a lifetime!
