Happy Small Business Saturday from our family to yours! ❤

When you book your trips through a travel agent, you're helping support a family at no extra cost.

For us, that means you're helping us provide Jackson with drum lessons 🥁 and ballet class 🩰 for Maggie. Your support has also allowed us to homeschool Jackson for the last two years. What a blessing you are to us!

Thank you for booking your trips with me and sharing my name with your friends who are thinking of traveling. Our family is so grateful for you!

Everyone's budgets are TIGHT right now - so if you're dreaming of Disney, I'm going to let you in on some money saving secrets! 🤫

🥳 Here's 5 Ways to Save Money on a 2025 Disney Trip:

▪️ Room availability is open now! 🛏️ That means the cheapest rooms at each resort are available for most dates.

▪️ Deposits for packages are just $200 and you can make payments up until 30 days before you travel. The payments are flexible - you decide how much you pay and when.

▪️ Once you book your package, your rate is locked in. If Disney raises their prices, you keep the price you booked at...and with the way prices are going up on EVERYTHING 🤑 that's a nice perk! Wish I could do that at the grocery store! 🙄

▪️ If deals and promos come out for the dates you travel, I can apply them for you to save you money!

▪️ Using a travel agent is free! I get paid by Disney, not you. You really can't get any cheaper than free! 😉

If you know someone who is thinking about a trip to Disney soon, please send them to my page so I can help! 😊 Or if you're thinking of a trip yourself, email me. I'd love to help!

Christmas is just a month away! 🎄

Have you thought about putting a trip under the tree?
▪️ Deposits for Universal packages are only $50 per person. 🧙‍♂️
▪️ Deposits for Walt Disney World packages are just $200. 🏰
▪️ Deposits for cruise lines vary, but there are some great "low-deposit" deals out right now! 🛳

If you're looking to travel in 2025, why not put it under the tree for your family? Or wrap a trip up for yourself! I'm not judging. 😉

🎅 What trip do you hope to find under the tree?

🛑 Don't book that Black Friday travel deal just yet! 🛑

I might be able to get it cheaper. 🤫

A friend called me last night wanting to book a cruise on a Black Friday deal. 📞 I was able to find him an even cheaper rate for the SAME cruise along with some onboard credit! 🥳

Before you book those Black Friday deals, check with me to see if I can get a BETTER deal than what you're seeing!

✈️ If I can't find a better deal, I'll likely be able to find that exact same rate you're seeing and provide travel support before, during, and after travel.

Remember - when you book your trip yourself, you're paying for a travel agent! 😯 The cruise line, resort, theme park, etc. just pockets what they would pay a travel agent and gives you no extra support.

By booking through me, you're supporting my small business while getting extra assistance and info to help during travel - and sometimes I can even💲SAVE💲you money!

There are so many new faces here so I wanted to reintroduce myself!

Hi, I'm Kelsey! 👋

My love of travel started with Disney World. 🏰

My husband and I would go to Disney for our anniversary each year 💍 and I would help my friends and family plan their Disney trips. I thought travel planning would be a fun job on the side of my position as an elementary school teacher. 🍎

Four years and two kids later, I left my job in teaching to spend more time with my kids. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 I used that time to expand my travel knowledge to new destinations besides just theme parks.

Now over six years in, I'm planning trips all over the world! 🌎 Whether you're wanting to visit theme parks, take a cruise, explore Europe, or relax at an all-inclusive in the Caribbean - I'm here to help. 😊

I take your wishlist and create the perfect itinerary to make your travel dreams come true. ❤️ And the best part is my knowledge, assistance, and resources are complimentary when you book your trip through me. I'm paid by the travel supplier - not you!

Thank you for being here for the journey! 🥰 Whether you're here for the travel tips, hope to plan a trip in the future, or just here to see the goofy pictures I post of my family - thank you for supporting my small business!

🤔 What does being a travel agent look like when a hurricane is near?

💻 Cancelling and rescheduling trips
❌ Updating travelers on cancellation and modification policies
✈️ Tracking flights
🚍 Modifying transfers...and modifying them again when flights are delayed
⛈️ Sending millions of texts to my meteorologist husband about hurricane forecasts to share with my travelers
📱 Calling into hours-long queues for refund requests
👍 Updating my travelers for the following week to ensure their vacations go smoothly..and all of this is done for FREE.

I'm going to be honest - hurricanes make my job challenging. Just peep that hair frizz to give you an idea of the stress from Mr. Milton this week. 😂

BUT why wouldn't you want someone in your corner when a hurricane is coming? Surely you don't want to wait on the phone for hours to ask a simple question or cancel your vacation yourself. 😉

If you plan your trip with a travel agent, you have someone in your corner when times get hard. 👍 Before you book your next trip, contact me to see if it's something I can help you plan.
