🎉 WE HAVE A WINNER! And this story has a pretty incredible ending. 💜

Our 10 Years of Adventures celebration has officially wrapped up, and after weeks of sharing some truly wonderful vacation memories, we finally spun the wheel to select our giveaway winner!

🥁 Drumroll, please...

🎉 CONGRATULATIONS TO JEFF BELFIORE AND HIS ADVENTURE ADVISOR, CINDY KOPF! 🎉

Jeff shared a wonderful story about taking his two boys to Walt Disney World, experiencing Halloween festivities, watching the parks transform for Christmas, and simply enjoying that special time together.

And he had some pretty amazing things to say about Cindy, too!

But here's where this story gets even better. 🥹

When we contacted Jeff to let him know he'd won a $100 gift card and a collection of travel goodies, he surprised us with a request.

Instead of accepting the gift card, he asked if we would consider donating it to Make-A-Wish Nebraska.

Jeff shared that his wife works in pediatric neurosurgery and has seen firsthand how much Make-A-Wish trips mean to children and their families. Hearing those stories inspired him to turn his prize into an opportunity to help another family experience something special.

And of course, we said YES. 💜

We're so happy to share that a donation has officially been made to Make-A-Wish Nebraska in Jeff's honor!

And don't worry, Jeff. You're still getting those travel goodies! 😉😂

As we celebrate 10 years of Key to Adventure Travel Co., we've spent a lot of time reflecting on the vacations we've helped plan, the memories we've helped create, and the incredible people we've met along the way.

But this? This is something we'll remember for a long time.

Jeff, thank you for reminding us that sometimes the greatest adventures are the ones we help make possible for someone else.

Cindy, thank you for taking such wonderful care of your clients and being such an important part of our KAT family.

And to every family who shared their memories with us throughout this campaign, THANK YOU. Your stories have made this anniversary celebration so special.

🎥 Watch our giveaway drawing to see the winning spin!

💜 10 years. Countless memories. One amazing community.

Here's to the next decade of adventures, kindness, and making a little magic happen wherever we can. ✨

Can a more expensive Universal Orlando hotel actually save you money? Sometimes, yes. 👀

Loews Royal Pacific Resort, Hard Rock Hotel, and Loews Portofino Bay Hotel include Express Unlimited for registered guests. Once you add up the cost of buying Express separately for your family, the “cheaper” hotel might not be the cheaper vacation.

Our newest blog breaks down which hotels include it, how check-in and checkout days work, and when upgrading could make sense.

And if you’re headed to Epic Universe, there’s an important detail: the included hotel Express benefit doesn’t cover that park!

Then let your Adventure Advisor help compare your options. Vacation math is our problem. Picking your first ride is yours. 😂

Is it cheaper to book a Universal Orlando hotel with included Express Unlimited or buy passes separately? Compare the total costs, see which hotels include the benefit, and learn why your park plans—including Epic Universe—matter.

Disney vacation planning tip: The cheapest resort isn't always the best deal. 🏰

A lower room rate sounds great until you realize you're sacrificing the location, transportation, or amenities that would've made your trip so much easier.

Sometimes spending a little more makes a BIG difference. Sometimes it doesn't.

That's why we help you compare the whole vacation, not just the price tag. 💜

Do you need a Park-to-Park ticket at Universal Orlando? 🎢

If riding the Hogwarts Express is on your vacation wish list, the answer is yes! 🚂 But the upgrade also gives you flexibility to enjoy favorites in different parks on the same day.

For some families, that freedom is worth it. Others are perfectly happy spending a full day in each park. And with Epic Universe in the mix, checking exactly what your ticket includes matters more than ever.

Our newest blog explains when Park-to-Park makes sense, when you can skip it, and what to know before buying tickets.

Read it here:
https://www.keytoadventuretravel.com/post/do-you-need-a-park-to-park-ticket-at-universal-orlando-when-the-upgrade-is-worth-it

Your KAT Adventure Advisor can help compare the options for your family—because decoding theme park tickets shouldn’t require a Hogwarts education. 💜

💜 **10 Years of Adventures | Real Stories. Real Memories.**

Sometimes the best review of a vacation is also the simplest:

**“There was not one disappointment whatsoever with our trip.”** ✨

Joann traveled to Walt Disney World with the help of Adventure Advisor **Whitney Good**, and one of the things she appreciated most wasn’t just the planning—it was having someone paying attention to the details she may never have known to look for herself.

“She was on top of everything. I even like the fact that she gave us a heads up about changes that normally we wouldn’t have noticed if we booked this trip ourselves.”

And when we asked Joann what she would tell someone considering using a travel advisor?

**“In a heartbeat.”** 💜

That right there is why we do what we do.

Thank you, Joann, for trusting Whitney and Key to Adventure Travel with your Walt Disney World vacation—and thank you, Whitney, for showing exactly what having an Adventure Advisor in your corner can mean.

**10 years. Countless adventures. And so many wonderful memories made along the way.** ✨
