🎶 On the seventh day of travel, my true love gave to me...
Day 7: 🚢 A dose of pixie dust on the high seas with Disney Cruise Line! I have personally sailed on SEVEN different major cruise lines, and Disney is my favorite. The customer service, the cleanliness, the phenomenal broadway-caliber stage shows, the overall attention to detail, it's so so good. Anchors aweigh! ⚓️

29/11/2023

🍿🎬 It's almost go-time!! Anyone else ready for the marathon that is Christmas movie watching in December??? What are you most excited to watch??? My faves are in the comments!

28/11/2023

Little known fact... nearly every travel supplier automatically builds a commission into the prices of vacation packages and tickets ‼️so whether or not you use a travel agent, the cost is the same‼️. Why does this matter?

❗️You book direct ➡️ you're on your own to research, plan, and execute. Have a question? You'll crowd source answers (which may be outdated or inaccurate) or wait on hold and likely talk to a call center employee (and many of them have never experienced the destination you are calling about).

❗️You book through me ➡️ I’ll help match your family’s wants, needs, & budget, share all the tips and tricks that I have learned from personal experience and years of sending guests on similar vacations, and make sure all of the details are taken care of so you can hit the ground running. Have a question? Hi, it's me. I'm your travel agent, it's me. And I care that your family is prepared for and has the best vacation possible!

All good things must come to an end... and watching the sun set above the clouds on our flight home was the perfect chapter to close our Disney Cruise vacation. Thanks for following along for our Thanksgiving at Sea!!!
Till next time! ❤️🚢

Disney Cruise Line’s Castaway Cay. IYKYK 🏝️😍

25/11/2023

Thanks a “latte” for helping my small business grow!

🎇 Disney Cruise Line has the only fleet that offers FIREWORKS at SEA! Fun fact, the fireworks are biodegradable so you can enjoy the entertainment without affecting sea life. The nighttime show is featured as a finale to each Caribbean sailing’s pirate night where guests can dress up and dance among the stars at the deck party!

24/11/2023

🚢⚓️🦃🍁 Thankful and blessed. It’s fun to be able to celebrate Thanksgiving traditions at sea!

23/11/2023

❤️ I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to the families that have journeyed with me in the past, present, or those planning to in the future.
❤️ Your trust in choosing me for your travel adventures means the world to me. Each booking, each destination, and each experience shared is not just a trip, but a story that I am honored to be a part of. I am committed to continuing to provide exceptional service and unforgettable experiences. Here's to more travels, discoveries, and memories!

22/11/2023

⚓️ We just watched a showing of Disney’s brand new movie, Wish. Did you know that new Disney movies premier (or should I say premEAR 😜) on cruises at sea the same day they do on land❓

🍿🎬 The movie theaters aboard Disney Cruise Line’s ships are an amazing place to enjoy first run films and original Disney Classics during your sailing! Grab a comfy seat, some fresh popcorn & soda, or plan ahead and order a snack from room service for the ultimate movie treat!

22/11/2023

Grand Cayman 😍. We dodged storms all day, and the port adventure we chose was WAY out of our comfort zone (jet skiing in the ocean is far harder than I ever imagined), but we loved our adventure.
✔️ Stingray City
✔️ Starfish Point

21/11/2023

🇲🇽 The best day in Cozumel! We decided to reserve a cultural experience - Alebrije painting (think spirit animals and the Disney movie, Coco) and a local chocolate company tour. It was fun for our entire family!

21/11/2023

We had a wonderful end to our first day at sea at the Fantasy’s Formal Night celebration! We mixed and mingled, listened to some great music, enjoyed complimentary drinks, enjoyed the Broadway-style Aladdin show at the Walt Disney Theatre, and capped off the night with dinner at Royal Court (my fave restaurant!).

20/11/2023

Disney Fantasy, Day 2:
Bonjour and welcome to Remy, Disney Cruise Line’s gourmet (adults only) French restaurant!
We had the most unforgettable champagne brunch this morning. The food was ⭐️incredible⭐️ and the theming was absolutely perfect- make sure to check out the subtle nods to Remy from Ratatouille in the design of the dining room!

19/11/2023

Disney Fantasy, Day 1:

Such a fantastic day!! After a beignet breakfast at our hotel, we shuttled over to Port Canaveral. We boarded the ship early, had a great buffet lunch, decorated our door (one of my favorite unique about sailing DCL), and checked the muster drill off the to-do list.

After sail away, we went to the tree lighting ceremony in the atrium, had a delicious dinner, and wrapped up the evening with some wine on our verandah after the kiddos went to bed.

I can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!

🚢 Cruising with Disney- Room Choice

There are several options for rooms and at the most basic level they differ based on access to the outside 🌞🌒. Depending on how much time you spend in your room, the choice might be obvious. If your family is always out and about, and uses the room only to sleep and dress, than an inside cabin would be fine. If you have young children with early bedtimes, it's nice to have a private balcony to enjoy once they fall asleep.

Rooms sleep up to 5 guests with a queen-size bed, convertible sofa bed, upper pull-down bunk bed (with constellations of Disney characters on the ceiling), and optional Murphy style bed. Split baths are offered for most room levels.

🛏 Inside Room- no true windows to the outside, but may have "magic portholes" with round LED monitors can show real time views of the outside. Super cool!

🛏 Oceanview Room- large port hole showing the ocean

🛏 Balcony Room- highest standard level room with a verandah (balcony) with seating

🛏 Concierge/Suites- for guests that like a bit of luxury, may have more space or separate bedrooms, and offer a balcony. Access to private indoor and outdoor lounge areas and a multitude of concierge amenities.

18/11/2023

⚓️ Cruising? As your travel agent, if you only listen to one piece of advice, it’s this. Fly in the day ⭐️before⭐️ your sailing for a 1-night hotel stay.

✨ Travel is unpredictable and peace of mind is worth its weight in gold. The cruise line won’t wait for you if your flight is cancelled or delayed.

✨ Everyone gets a good night’s rest which is nearly impossible if you fly in super early day-of departure.

We booked a room at Disney’s Port Orleans French Quarter with cruise transfers directly from the resort. Easy peasy and a great way to start the magic early.

18/11/2023

🦃 Year two of spending Thanksgiving at Sea. We set sail on the Disney Fantasy in just a few hours. I can’t wait for a week in the Caribbean and to share our adventures with you!

16/11/2023

🚡 Who loves Disney's Skyliner as much as I do???? If given a choice between staying at a Skyliner resort or not, there's no doubt where I'll be!

❤ It feels like an attraction in itself!
❤ It's efficient- even with long lines, boarding is quick
❤ You don't have to collapse single strollers
❤ It's accessible for scooters and wheelchairs
❤ There's a Joffrey's Coffee kiosk at the hub (can it get any better?!?!?!)

🚡 Travel between Art of Animation/Pop Century and the Caribbean Beach hub
🚡 Travel between Epcot/Riviera Resort and the Caribbean Beach hub
🚡 Travel between Hollywood Studios and the Caribbean Beach hub

Universal Orlando! 🚂 Did you know the Hogwarts Express offers 2 different experiences? Riders MUST have a park-to-park ticket to experience the train.

1️⃣ From Universal Studios park, you’ll board at Kings Cross Station- sneak through Platform 9 3/4 just like Harry Potter and his friends do! Your cabin shows views of the beautiful English countryside, and you may find yourself re-living some key scenes from the films. You’re dropped off in Hogsmeade station, and magically transported to Hogsmeade Village located in Universal’s Islands of Adventure park.
2️⃣ From Hogsmeade Station, your ride back to London has a change of scenery, but you’ll see plenty of familiar characters and experiences!

11/11/2023

🐶 We get to pick our new puppy tomorrow... thank goodness there are only 4 to choose from!

10/11/2023

🏄‍♀️ Looking for an ocean cruise that's amazing for tweens and teens (and adults too!)? Check out any ships in Royal Caribbean's fleet that offer a FlowRider! The 40 foot long surf simulator rushes 30,000 gallons of water your way. Test your skills at boogie boarding, knee boarding, or surfing. It's all fun and games until you wipe out... don't ask me how I know 🥴.

09/11/2023

🎅🏻🎃 The perfect attraction to showcase for this time of year!

At Disneyland's Haunted Mansion, the AMAZING holiday overlay blends the original attraction with Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas. Everyone loves when the Pumpkin King, Jack Skellington, decorates the Mansion with frightfully festive touches inspired by the 1993 film.

08/11/2023

Never look back ... unless it’s to admire the view! 🚢⚓️
Thinking of a couple's cruise or a family adventure? I book all major cruise lines and would love to send you to the Caribbean, Mexican Riviera, or Alaska. Want to go a bit farther? There are plenty of bucket list options after a flight across the Atlantic. Message me for details!
