Coming back to ya this September AOA!!

Arguably my kids’ favorite resort in all of Disney World, Art of Animation is STOCK FULL of Disney faves and pals!

Walking around, they will lose their minds - running and climbing on all of the kid friendly play zones, snapping pictures with classic characters, swimming in THREE pools, and let’s not forget this resort is on the Skyliner route!

The best part? The price point as this technically falls into a value category.!

We are going to be staying in a family suite in the Finding Nemo section come the fall, sharing the suite with some dear friends. We are so flipping excited!

Although as an adult, I love the deluxe category Resorts the absolute most, when the kids are happy, mamas happy, right?

There is a heck of a lot of shopping taking place this next week, right?!

And I know a trend recently has been giving the gift of experience over toys and THINGS. I am here for it!!

So, I want to remind you that as you consider your purchases and gift giving, if travel is on your shopping list, I would love for you to consider booking your vacation with me, a small business owner too.

Sure, of course you can book your vacation on your own, but let me take the opportunity today on Small Business Saturday to remind you of what vacation planning looks like with me - all for ZERO added cost:

1. Custom advice and expertise from start to finish - a tailored experience with your family and your preferences in mind.
2. Excellent Customer Service and a Go To Point of Contact - any question, any concern, any need....my team and I will handle it for you so you do not need to stress and waste any of your time researching answers (especially when it comes to waiting on phone hold lines!)
3. Price Monitoring - will Expedia or Costco watch your vacation for you and track promotions? Will their best interest be getting you the absolute best price possible? This is a huge piece of my service, and I love when I can apply savings to my clients' trips. Without you lifting a finger or even requesting it!
4. Dining and Special Experience Booking - who wants to track dates and stress over snagging the best reservations and add-on experiences? My team and I take care of these logistical details for you...oftentimes while you sleep!
5. Resources and Support - my agency, of course, specializes in Disney vacations and Cruises, so you are equipped with LOADS of free planning guides and resources to help you feel confident before you depart. The same is now true for many other destinations too as we continue to branch out to other destinations and vacation suppliers!

Lastly, when you book travel anywhere but with a travel agent, you are paying for a service you are not using (and the commission that was intended to go to a travel agent simply gets absorbed by the vacation supplier).

So instead, shop small - even for your travel planning!

Here and ready when you are - reach out and I would love to help you with your next vacation!

🚨Important Disney World Pricing/Warning

The costs all across Disneyland in Cali just rose today - from tickets to parking to Genie +.

Over at Disney World in Orlando, parking and Memory Maker Cost just rose too.😲

What does this mean we can predict is next? If we are being realistic, the next thing that will see a price hike are Disney World ticket prices.

I am honestly surprised they did not rise in turn today too!
~ Traditionally, we see Disney World raise its ticket prices at least once or twice a year...so the time is approaching. It was on December 22nd ot last year 2022) that the last increase occurred.

So what does this mean for people visiting in the next year?

1. If you have a package with tickets already booked, or standalone tickets already purchased, you are good to go.
Any ticket increase will NOT affect your current pricing.

2. If you are still waiting to book a package or purchase tickets for 2024, do it now. As soon as any new pricing takes effect, you will be subject to the pricing as soon as it in place. So buying your tickets today in comparison to tomorrow (if the price changed overnight) could show a substantial difference in overall cost.

How do I have this intel and info? šŸ¤”

I am a travel agent who specializes in Disney vacations, and I help hundreds of guests visit Disney parks every year.

I have seen the same pattern in the past 3 years - and I do not want you to pay any higher than necessary.

My travel and professional services are absolutely free to my guests as Disney pays me to help you. Truly, it is 100% same cost as going at the planning on your own.

Message me now or just comment PLAN below to be sent more info on working together!āœ…

CHECK THIS! šŸ‘‡

There is no black and white answer to this - annoyingly! But with a Disney promo that just dropped today on Dining credits being awarded for certain trips, it is a great time to discuss!

Disney World promotions and discounts can vary in terms of release dates and availability! So let's touch on the TRENDS we have seen over the past three years.

Here are some general guidelines to keep in mind:

1. Seasonal Patterns: Disney often releases promotions for specific seasons, so you can anticipate promotions for holidays like Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and summer vacations. When these are released, they USUALLY come out anywhere from 3-6 months before the travel dates.

2. Historical Trends: Some promotions tend to follow historical patterns. For example, Disney has offered a Disney + promo AND a Disney dining promo now for two seasons in a row (summer and winter) - do we expect this to continue next year? Sure do. The real question is if the Dining Plan promo will return once those are available again in 2024...

3. Advance Notice: Disney typically provides several months of advance notice for promotions, especially for major ones (as mentioned, it is usually between 3-6 months notice). This allows potential guests to plan their trips accordingly.

Good news on that last point? Even if you are already booked, your trip can still have a promo applied retroactively if it is eligible and meets the terms!

To stay updated on Disney World promotions, the best pro tip is to use a travel agent's free service! Especially one that has a Disney niche to their industry. When you do, it means we are ALWAYS looped in immediately as promos drop! And if a client's trip is eligible, we apply it straight away if it will save money, without question.

To work with a travel agent is TOTALLY free because Disney pays us directly with no added fee to their guest. They get it -- it is overwhelming to plan, and they want to take some of that stress out of the process. So whether you book yourself on your own, or you have a travel agent book you, it is the same cost -- take advantage of our service! Reach out to me today!

Read up on how to best dictate your August to November visit with Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party nights in mind!

šŸŽƒ First check my carousel for the party dates! Being aware of when the party is happening is essential so you are not taken by surprise if the park is closing early!

Lots of guests book their days and have no idea they will be forced to leave early, and that there will not be a typical fireworks display. What a disappointment if you are not ready for this!

šŸŽƒ If the nighttime experience at MK is important, then you will want to book your park passes now as the non-party days will fill to capacity in advance of your trip (by early summer is my guess).

BUT with this in mind, Magic Kingdom is least busy on days MNSSHP runs and MORE busy on days that it isn’t happening.

So, if you are hoping for lighter crowds during the day, hitting MK on a party day can be a wise decision - especially if you have a park hopping ticket and can move elsewhere in the night!

šŸŽƒNow, if you are attending the party, how do you wisely plan the day of the party?

My best recommendation, based on having two children under 10, is to take that entire day off. The party allows you to get into the park early anyways that evening, so this provides a great opportunity to swim and enjoy your resort, taking it easy, maybe even grabbing a nap!

šŸŽƒAnother idea is to attend the party on your arrival night OR on your last night - this way you are still bright and chipper and you are kicking the vacation off with a bang or closing with a wonderful finale.

What’s your plan of attack if you’re going to be in magic kingdom this fall?? Love to hear your approach!

Big day in Disney Cruising! 2024 has opened through September!Ā 

But why is it SO important to book your trip ASAP? Let's break it down.

1. Secure the Best Rate.
Cruise fare pricing is based on supply, and the quicker cabins sell on a sailing, the higher prices go. The best price you can lock in is NOW because it will increase.

2. Lock in your first choice in stateroom categories and location on the ship. Unlike hotels, YOU pick your stateroom on a ship. You can only pick from what is still in inventory! Super important if you want connecting rooms!

3.Ā Interested in a popular week or ship? Or Concierge status?
Holiday weeks, the newer ships and destinations (ahem, the Wish and Lighthouse Point), and Concierge status on all ships will book up QUICKLY.

4. Main or Earlier Dining a Priority?
On DCL, the main dining time is the first booked well before sailing, and it hits capacity months in advance. Only the first families who book their cruises secure this up front.

5. Absolutely ensure you are booking before the Extras Booking Date for the cruise... These add-ons are difficult to snag if you miss your cruise's initial opening window!

6. Need a payment plan? Some cruises require the final payment as much as 120 days in advance. If you need time to pay it off, book early to start chipping away at the balance.

7. Booking early doesn’t rule you out from specials and promos.
Ā Promos CAN be applied retroactively after booking, saving you money later and reducing your overall balance.

8. Be sure to use a travel agent to monitor the deals released for you or you need to be on top of it yourself!

Remember, when you book your cruise through me and my agency, you get tons of support and service in the whole planning process - FOR FREE.

Disney pays me so you do not have to (no catch, I swear!).Ā

It has been FAR too long since I stepped into a Disney park. šŸ°

Like unusually lengthy for me (even though I have trips planned every month now moving forward for the next four months šŸ˜‚)

Take a guess the last time I stepped in the Disney World parks … it’s not been 2023! Been driving me nuts!!
