As we wrap up 2024, I wanted to ask you all for a favor. The first few weeks of the year are what we agents call Wave season. What that means is that it’s the busiest time of year for us and the time of year that a lot of people book trips. I would love to continue to get my name out there and reach all of those potential clients who may not have an agent yet. A quick share is always, always appreciated!
I cannot tell you how many clients I get based on you guys tagging my page and word of mouth. And it means the world to me!! As a busy mom and nurse, word of mouth and social media are my only forms of advertisement
And, just a heads up that January is always a crazy busy booking month for me. If you are thinking of a trip for 2025 and want to get ahead of the surge, let me know and we can get the ball rolling!

Are you wanting to book a Disney cruise but the large deposit is making you take pause?
Well they just released a promotion that requires only half of the deposit to be paid to book! If you’re looking to sail between summer 2025 and summer 2026, you may be able to book the cruise for less money down than you’ve previously seen!
So if you’re still looking for a Christmas gift, this could be your answer!
Disney cruises offer families an amazing way to see different parts of the world. Disney knows families! That’s why these sailings are full of family friendly entertainment options, fireworks at sea, food that even the pickiest of eaters will enjoy, and a childcare facility that is top notch! Pair that with Disney’s well known customer service and cleanliness, and you’ve got a great vacation! There truly is something for everyone on a Disney cruise!
I would love to help you make this a reality!
If you’ve cruised Disney, what is it that really stood out to you? That your family loves?

Thanksgiving is behind us and Christmas is in full swing!
I have two special families celebrating the Holidays at the most magical place on Earth this week! The M family parents are taking their 5 children out of the every day life of school, sports, and busy schedules to spend an amazing few days together! Staying at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort they’ll enjoy whimsical decorations from favorite movies such as Cars, Finding Nemo, The Lion King and The Little Mermaid. They can swim in the Big Blue Pool, Disney World’s largest pool on property, and enjoy food from the Landscape of Flavors Food Court. They’ll have access to the Skyliner Gondola to quickly transport to two of the four parks. Life is certainly busy with school age children and I’m excited this family gets to spend some time together making memories!
The N Family will spend a few magical days at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge with their three year old little boy. They are staying in a room that looks over the savanna where it’s not unusual to see Giraffes, Zebras and other animals graze. To see this deluxe resort all decorated for Christmas, including the gingerbread animal decor, is such a treat. They’ll have access to many restaurants on property, pools and quick bus rides to the parks. Three is such a fun age for Disney and I’m so excited they get to see these things through his eyes.
I would love to help your family find the perfect Disney resort and help plan your magical trip!

As we head in to the holiday season, keep in mind that sometimes the best gift we can give won’t fit in a box. Instead of cluttering your house with toys, or racking your brains to figure out what to get your teenager, give the gift of a family vacation!
I am already seeing some great Black Friday deals out there!
You don’t even have to go right away, just book it and wrap something that gets them excited for the future!
With a brand new park at Universal Studios, new rides and parades at Disney, new ships sailing for all the major cruise lines and family friendly all inclusive resorts, there are a ton of options! Let me help you not only make this a magical Christmas, but a magical new year as well. ❤️🎄❤️

It’s been a busy few weeks of booking trips and quoting even more!
Just a reminder, I do book other trips besides Disney! In the last couple of weeks I’ve booked:
*A Caribbean cruise on the Carnival Breeze for an extended family of 13 people, staying in side by side balcony rooms! They’ll leave from Galveston and visit Cozumel and Progreso. What a fun family trip!
*A 15 night cruise through the Panama Canal on the Island Princess! Not only will they sail through the Canal, they’ll visit ports in Columbia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, and Mexico. A trip of a lifetime!
*A brave couple taking their graduating seniors and a few friends on a fun trip to Riu Yucatan in Playa del Carmen! A budget friendly resort with a beautiful beach and all the food (reminder they’re traveling with teens 🤣) and drinks included… it’s a great choice!
*A family of 4 will be one of the first to experience the new park, Epic Universe, opening at Universal Studios Florida! They will be staying at one of the new Universal Studios resorts and have early access to each park! Epic universe looks, well, Epic 🙃 with it’s new lands Super Nintendo World, Dark Universe, and How to Train your Dragon, Isle of Berk, to name a few! I, too, cannot wait to experience this new park!

I’ve also been working on a couple of other senior trips, a family trip to Punta Cana, more Universal Studios trips, and of course some Disney vacations.
If you are looking to travel, I would love to help you get everything booked and planned so that all you have to do is enjoy the moments!
Give this post a heart if I’ve helped you have an amazing vacation in the past. 💜

When the hotel choosing, parks planning, dining reservations, my Disney linking and lightning lane discussing all come together and you get to watch
some of your favorites make incredible memories….😍. Two best friend couples, their children and 5 grandparents all traveled to Walt Disney World this past week. I absolutely loved seeing and hearing all about their trip while they were there! I always feel like I’m right there with them when they share special moments with me!
It was an absolute blast to help these girls plan their amazing trip!

The main resort we visited during the week was Hard Rock Punta Cana. I’ve had the opportunity to go to several all inclusive resorts over the last couple of years and this one was definitely a favorite of mine!
We were here 5 nights and usually by that time, we are growing tired of the food, activities, etc… this time we were not! I am not sure we ate the same thing twice! There were so many food options… the buffet, several restaurants including Italian, Mexican, and a steak house. There was a coffee bar, an ice cream shop with a ton of great flavor and topping options, a sandwich place, a burger bar and food trucks by the beach. We also had fajita nachos and chicken wings delivered to us while we were at the pool…by a man on a bicycle… carrying drinks on his head. If y’all visit, say hi to Ramon for us 🤣
They had a ton of activities throughout our stay including great shows, Kareoke, a bowling alley, shopping, a simulated car racing place, an arcade, and laser tag!
We also spent a little time in the casino… and by that I mean I brought in a certain amount and lost it within 15 minutes. It was a fun 15 minutes though. 🤣
There are 13 pools including a water park, lazy River, and adults only pool. They had a flow rider surf simulator as well. There were pools that were loud and fun and some that were small and quiet… something for everyone! The beach was absolutely breathtaking. The ocean was every shade of blue you can imagine! We enjoyed a morning at the spa that left me wanting to book a second day there as well. So relaxing.
I know this is a long post, but there was literally so much to do and see! I usually think cruising is easiest with kids but this resort was like a cruise ship on land. It was a blast and I definitely plan to return at some point!
If you’re looking for a great trip for the whole family… this is it!

We made it back from our awesome trip to Punta Cana! We had such a great time and were lucky enough to visit three resorts while there.
The first resort we visited was Dreams Onyx.
This is a family friendly resort with a ton to do for kids! It’s on a beautiful beach, has multiple pools including a lazy River and big water slides, and several food options! We ate at Bluewater Grill and all loved our steaks…and we are steak snobs, lol.
Dreams also has a coffee shop, an ice cream parlor, a build your own burger diner, and of course a buffet with something for everyone!
Although it’s a large resort for families we never felt crowded! It was very spaced out with enough pool space for everyone. I would say it was on the quieter side, at least it felt that way while we were there.
There’s a club for kids, a teen club and adults only areas. Anyone 18 and older has full access to Breathless next door which is for sure a more party, adults only vibe. I’ll post more on that resort! You can easily walk from one resort to the other! Two resorts for the price of one… not a bad deal! If you’re in the mood for loud and fun, head next door to Breathless. For more quiet and peaceful, spend your day at Dreams.
I would absolutely recommend this resort for families with small children and or teens! I also think it would be a great multigenerational family trip as the kids would have plenty to do during the day and at night, the adults could visit Breathless.
I’m a big fan of the Dreams resorts and this one did not disappoint! It is very clean, spacious, and has excellent service!

Hurricane Milton changed our plans a little. We were supposed to be heading home today but our layover was in Orlando. So again for the second time this year, we have an extra day to enjoy the beach. To the people watching my kids for me, I promise I don’t plan these things! 🤣 but thank you!
I’ve also had a beautiful view while taking care of my clients who needed to reschedule their trips because of the weather. I’ve worked in worse places!
Praying for all affected by the hurricane and grateful to be enjoying another sunny day in paradise. 💜

Such a gorgeous beach here!
We’ve been very impressed with Hard Rock Punta Cana and the Dominican Republic in general!
Beautiful! 💙

One of my absolute favorite things to do is get a way from all the crazy day to day for some time with this guy. It’s not something we did much in our younger years and we don’t take for granted that we are able to do so now more often. We also are extremely grateful for our family and friends who step in and help with our kids. 💙
Not only speaking as a travel agent, but as a wife…
If you are able to take time and spend it with your husband, do so.
It’s worth the hassle of getting everything lined out and worth every penny. 💙

In between storms at Hard Rock Punta Cana. This place is massive and the beach gorgeous!
