My middle child loves space and aeronautics. NASA, Star Wars, military history….he is 9 and he eats it all up - so I try to feed this passion whenever possible! If you are looking to give someone like this an out of this world experience, you don’t have to take them to the mouse down south, take them out west. You will find space dome glamping, private telescope tours and several national parks that have been designated official International Dark Sky Parks, where there is no better place on Earth to view outer space. I planned this adventure for my children, but these are the sort of custom trips a travel designer will specialize in crafting just for you, your interests and your family, worldwide. 🌎💙

🚢 NEW Disney Cruise Line Has Announced EARLY 2023 Itineraries and Departure Dates

In early 2023, Disney Cruise Line will return to top tropical destinations in the Bahamas – including Disney’s private island, Castaway Cay – as well as the Caribbean and the Mexican Riviera, delighting Guests of all ages with one-of-a-kind vacations at sea. A variety of enchanting itineraries will set sail coast-to-coast from U.S. home ports including Miami and Port Canaveral, Florida; New Orleans; Galveston, Texas; and San Diego.

A quick note...Disney cruise pricing is dynamic like an airline or hotel, not fixed. For the best deal ***book early*** as prices will rise as the ship fills up. There is a LOT of pent-up demand so we expect cruises to fill quickly. If you think you might want to book let me know so I can get you a quote. Don’t wait.
Booking will begin October 21, 2021 for the general public - if you’re Castaway Club or DVC members contact me ASAP because booking has started.

When planning Disney vacations I am frequently asked if staying at a Disney Resort is really worth it. Oh yes, my friend, yes it is. The magic begins at check-in and the whimsy, wonder and extra pixie dust extends to every piece of your stay. Moments like this are precious and we won’t stay anywhere else. ❤️

I have a child with ADHD with some sensory issues that pop up around loud crowd noise and she LOVES Disney. Even neurotypical children and adults can become overwhelmed with the noise, sights, smells and crowds inside the parks. Disney has you covered. In each of the four parks there are designated “quiet areas” to take a break. Ask any cast member where to find the closest area for a breather to calm down and regroup. Pictured is the Moroccan fountain area of Epcot in the World Showcase. It is quiet, peaceful, cool and shaded with beautiful mosaic art and a fountain. It generally only has a few people around, save for a few girls taking pictures for Instagram - like me, for example. 😆

Hi everyone, I just wanted to share an update released today by the CDC regarding Covid and international travel.

Starting January 26th, passengers will be required to produce a negative Covid test result at the airport prior to returning home. The test must be taken within three days prior to return to the US.

The good news is, this has been a requirement for Canada and NY for some time and many resorts are prepared to help guests with free or low cost testing on site with no need to find a testing site. Just swing by between cocktails! If your resort doesn’t offer testing, I have resources to help locate a testing site all over the globe.

I will be reaching out to all clients with booked international travel and if for some reason you don’t have travel insurance, NOW is the time to buy it. I have all the details.

CDC faq page is linked.

Symptoms, testing, what to do if sick, daily activities, and more.

Goodbye, 2020, the year of hoarding toilet paper, baking quarantine bread, murder hornets, countless zoom meetings and Tiger King.

Hello, 2021, the year of dreaming big, making up for lost travel time, and throwing our arms back around the great, wide world—or at least giving it an elbow bump.

We’re looking forward to the continued vaccine rollouts, more countries opening up, and travel becoming fun again this year. And we’re especially looking forward to helping you get out there - whatever that means to you. Whether it’s across the city, across the country or across the world, I’m here to help you dip your toes in whatever water floats your boat.

Here are some reasons why *right now* is a great time to book your travel plans for 2021:

⚕️ Vaccinations have begun and Covid restrictions on travel are (gradually) easing in many countries across the globe. Yes, you can travel internationally, right now!

🆓 Generous change/cancellation policies by airlines and hotels = more flexibility and less stress if you change your mind.

💸 Resort rates right now are AMAZING and there are more flight deals on the way as airlines begin to increase capacity and bring aircraft back into service.

🤗 Having something to look forward to is good for the soul and the body. A trip on the books, even for later in 2021, is a great way to daydream and relax your mind. Just imagine the warm sun and those toes in the sand....

What are your travel goals for 2021? And what would you like to see featured here? Travel deals? Disney and Universal? All-Inclusive? Travel updates and news?

xoxo
