Magical Moments Vacations with Heather Gowen

07/09/2026

Long time no post! Reminder: if you are following me here, you SHOULD be following my private FB group because it's basically replaced this page. I'll link it in the comments.

But... Me and a friend/colleague started a podcast! And our first episode is out!

Tired of finding misinformation and terrible travel hacks on social media or from AI? We share our insights and opinions on the places we know best.

Our first 'season' will be all about Disney Cruise Line. Episode 1 is about why we keep choosing Disney Cruise Line. We've each sailed 18 times and I mean...there's gotta be a reason! So come listen why we choose DCL over and over!

I think you need to go Universal Orlando sometime between 11/7-12/19 and 1/5-4/10. 😜

Why, you ask? Because they just released and insane promo where you can eat FOR FREEEEEE! And food at Universal is pricey, ya'll.

Check out this sample package I put together:
- 2 adults, 1 kid
- Check-in November 9th, stay for 5 nights
- Get a 4 day promo ticket that lets you go between both parks
- Stay at Royal Pacific Resort so you also get FREE Express Pass
- ...and the best part? Receive a $1000 DINING CARD!

Total price? Around $3700!

Yes, you literally get $1000 in a dining card to use on food/drinks during your stay!! This is incredible. And this price for 5 nights, 4 days of tickets, and free Express Pass? Truly unheard of.

Pricing will vary depending on party size and dates and this is just an example.

Reach out today to get a quote for this incredible promo!

We stayed in a Rondoval, which has been like a dream for me for years! We had a butler who took care of everything for us, our own private pool, plus access to a larger lazy-river type pool.

Do you dream of heading to Jamaica too? Here's a sample price for this October:

2 adults
5 nights
Price below is total and includes your transportation to/from the resort
Flights are NOT included

Club Level room - $3406
Butler, beachfront room - $5772

I can always adjust dates based on what YOU need. Let me know!

🌴 Four beautiful ships, the Disney Fantasy, Disney Wish, Disney Treasure and Disney Dream, will regularly sail to one or both of Disney Cruise Line’s signature island destinations, Disney Castaway Cay and Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point. 🪸
You’ll discover even more Disney magic on any of these voyages!

🌊 If you’re looking for a tropical escape, imagine sailing away from the Pacific Coast and Gulf of Mexico in late 2025 and early 2026. Plus, a third season of sailings will embark across Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific on the Disney Wonder from October 2025 to February 2026.

🎄 Are you feeling merry? 🎃 Are you feeling scary?! With Disney Cruise Line’s collection of themed sailings, prepare to bring your most festive ‘fits on any of the beloved holiday cruises with Halloween on the High Seas and Very Merrytime sailings in September, October, November and December 2025.

Disney cruise pricing is ALWAYS BEST when they first open for bookings. They are a unique cruise line and prices only go up as time goes on and very rarely will go down again.

Bookings for the fall 2025 and spring 2026 seasons open to the public on June 28. Contact me today to get on my list! [email protected]
