Take me back! I never thought I was a beach person, but I realized I just hadn’t been to the right ones. The beaches in the Caribbean fill my dreams, and I am constantly plotting my next return. Let’s plan your visit, too!
I watched a movie called “Nyad” the other day, and this quote was something that drove them to keep attempting the Cuba to Florida swim. You have one life to live, so it should be everything you dreamed it to be.
My dreams are to make memories traveling with my family and to help other families do the same. How can I help you achieve your travel dreams?
Story Book Dining at Artist Point is such a fun and delicious experience! Meet D***y, Grumpy, Snow White, and the Evil Queen while enjoying a delicious prix fixe meal under an illuminated canopy of trees.
Wilderness Lodge is one of my favorite resorts, and this dining spot makes it even more appealing!

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Discount travel sites are often just order takers - they won't be there for you when you have questions or if something goes wrong, and they can't match my level of service. I am here for *your trip* not the cookie-cutter trip Ryan's cousin took. Don't trust your vacation investment to the lowest bidder - book your trip with a trusted, experienced travel advisor who will be with you every step of the way. (That's ME! 😉) #momapprovedtraveljanice #travelprofessional #traveladvisor
I’ll never stop loving this show. 🥹❤️ #happilyeverafter #wdw #magickingdom #momapprovedtravel #momapprovedtraveljanice

Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure Review! PROS: It has just enough thrills to keep you excited, and a great story to keep you entertained. My first ride was at night in the sidecar, and I will say it was more intense in the dark with only the bike's headlights to guide you. The second ride was first thing in the morning on the bike, and it was such a fun and fast experience. CONS: As fun as it is, I still think it's on the edge of what chickens like me and my kids can probably handle. It's not friendly for fluffier guests (there's a test seat at the attraction entrance for you to try if you have any doubts). You can't use Express Pass for this one, so set a wait time alert in the app (but don't expect it to get below about an hour all day). OVERALL: I'm NOT a roller coaster person, but I have to say - this one is AMAZING! It's my new favorite attraction in Orlando, hands down. It's a dark ride and roller coaster all in one. I would not spend your early park entry time waiting in this line, though, because the line will be just as short in the evening. The mornings are better for Ollivanders and spell casting while the Wizarding World is virtually empty.

Want your business to be the top-listed Travel Agency?
I distinctly remember my very first visit to Magic Kingdom when I was about 6 or 7 years old - the excitement of riding the ferry and seeing Cinderella's Castle in the distance, my terror at riding Space Mountain with my dad (he still talks about that to this day!), and the joy at finally getting one of those giant Mickey balloons after watching the most spectacular fireworks I'd ever seen. Since then, I have visited Walt Disney World on numerous occasions as a child and now as an adult with my own family. It was my dream to see my daughters experience the same magic I did as a child, so we booked our first family vacation to WDW for Christmas 2014. I had a hard time holding back the tears as my husband, our two girls, and my parents took in the beauty that is Walt Disney World at Christmastime.
It's that feeling of joy I get at seeing others have a magical experience that has made me the go-to Disney vacation planner among our friends and family. The same care and passion I put into planning those trips is what I offer to all my clients. Regardless of your budget, I can help you plan a vacation your family will never forget!
