NEW GENIE+ PRICING STRUCTURE:

You can now choose the individual park or multiple parks when using Genie+ each day.

There are less experiences available with Genie+ at Epcot + Animal Kingdom compared to Magic Kingdom + Hollywood Studios, so this new pricing reflects that!

Pricing will still change daily as with the previous pricing system and are reflective of crowd levels. I always suggest purchasing Genie+ as soon as it’s available (12:00am EST) during especially busy times to make sure it doesn’t sell out, but you definitely need to have it purchased before 7:00am EST for an easier and faster booking process!

Or you can just book your next Walt Disney World trip with me and I can walk you through all of this so it’s as stress-free as possible!

Did you hear that the Disney Dining Plan is coming back for 2024?!

If you’re planning on doing character dining, want at least one table service reservation per day, or just really love snacking your way through , you may really benefit from the Disney Dining Plan!

For example: the Disney Dining Plan is $95 per adult and $30 per child (3-9). That’s $250 total for a family of 4…which is the same price as a dinner reservation at Chef Mickey’s for that same family of 4!

So would you rather Chef Mickey’s OR Chef Mickey’s, a refillable mug, a quick service credit, a snack credit, and the included specialty or alcoholic drinks that comes with the Disney Dining Plan per day for the same price?

The Disney Dining Plan may or may not be the best choice for every family or trip, but I can help you figure out how to get the best value for your trip!

Reminder: I also offer constant price monitoring and will automatically apply any offers/discounts that are released after you book, so booking early doesn’t disqualify you from a future discount!

Want to know what I booked this week? Trips for November-December!

Yes, I realize it’s not even Easter, but availability is already starting to dwindle. People want to travel, and now is the time to book your next adventure for the best options + pricing for both domestic + international travel!

Speaking of international travel….

If you are wanting to travel outside of the US this year, you need to apply for your passport ASAP. Processing times are now 10-14 weeks for new applications and renewals, and you don’t want a late passport to be the thing keeping you from a vacation!

I’d love to help you with planning your next adventure, so let’s start talking travel! ✨

I spent most of this morning in a meeting talking about travel and why I love it. The answer is pretty simple: my family 🖤

I am so lucky to have grown up in a family that prioritized time away together, and that still does to this day. When we lost my grandfather, all of us were able to share stories of trips and favorite things that we did together like seeing Voices of Liberty or eating at Casey’s Corner or spinning so fast on the Tea Cups that we thought that we were going to die. He invested his time with all of us, and I don’t take a single minute of that for granted now.

Multi-generation family travel may seem daunting to plan, but I promise it’s worth it and easier than you think with a little help!

At the end of the day, time is all that we really have that matters, so let’s invest it well.

It’s been a busy week of *last minute* travel booking over here!

I’ve been able to find great deals for clients with , , , + for travel within the next 6 weeks! I know that we generally suggest booking in advance (and there are *plenty* of reasons to do that), but sometimes we can score great deals at the last minute too!

If you’re still thinking about that Spring Break or Mardi Gras trip that you meant to book but never did, it may not be too late to make it happen!

Let’s see what kind of adventure we can find for you!

If you're headed to an airport this summer, I highly recommend visiting a lounge. Between arriving super early just in case there's a huge line at security, long layovers, and even flight delays, it's nice to have a place to get away from the crazy!

There are tons of credit cards that offer free access or you can purchase a membership like Priority Pass that gets you into hundreds of lounges without a first class price tag.

There's a 25% off membership special right now, and we just joined! We should've joined before our flights in May because we definitely paid more in random airport food than we would have if we just got the membership for the lounge with unlimited food/drinks, so learn from our mistake and just buy it!

This travel year enjoy airport lounge access to over 1300 lounges worldwide, Priority Pass enables you to enjoy a premium travel experience.

Warm weather is officially here for good, + it’s feeling very tropical here in Florida!

If you have been thinking about a summer getaway, NOW is the time to book! Dates are booking like crazy all of the way through the end of 2022, + popular destinations may not be available if you wait much longer.

Check out my highlights on Instagram on how to start booking your next vacation! ☀️

Spring is here, summer is coming quickly, + travel season is in FULL swing! If you have been thinking about a trip for this year (or next), let’s talk travel!

Pro Tip: While there are last minute deals at times, the way to get the best deal is to book as early as possible! That also means you have more time to pay down your balance since most vendors require only a deposit at booking. Smaller weekly/monthly payments over time are definitely easier to work into the budget!

I’m a city girl to my core. Like my life goal is to have solid public transit, walkable streets, + I don’t know if I’d be mad if I never saw grass again kind of city girl. (I blame Friends + How I Met Your Mother, honestly) So when it comes to planning our vacations, my first suggestion is always a city, + Chicago might just be my current favorite! To quote Ted Mosby, my hair excels in the wind. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Would you vacation to a city? If so, where are you going first?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
NYC, Boston, + maybe another weekend in Chicago are up next on my list!

We've got a new blog post up!

We’ve got a few trips with a little one under our belt, so I’m finally ready to write a *definitive* guide on Disney with a little one! So far, we’ve brought Eliza at 8 months, 12 months, 17 months, and 19 months, and they’ve all been really fun trips. Yes, it’s sometimes exhausting and ha...
