Curated Journeys For Good

Hi, I’m Anne, and I plan trips that give back.

Here’s what that means: when you book a journey with Curated Journeys for Good, a meaningful portion of what I earn goes to a 501(c)(3) you choose. Your family makes the memory. A cause you love gets the support. Same trip, twice the good.

I built it this way because I think travel should leave a mark on more than your camera roll.

Curious how it works? It’s all in my bio.

If a Disneyland trip has been sitting on your “someday” list, this is the summer to move it up.

Disney just announced up to 25% off at the Resort hotels for stays from May 22 through September 7. That covers Grand Californian, the Disneyland Hotel, and the Villas at Disneyland Hotel. Pixar Place is up to 15% off.

The catch is the timing window. The 70th Anniversary Celebration ends August 9, and a lot of what makes this summer different at Disneyland goes away with it. New nighttime spectacular. Special character moments. The whole 70th overlay across the park. So if you want to stack the savings with the celebration, you’re working backwards from August 9, not September 7.

Here’s where I come in. My services are free, I handle the booking, and the majority of my commission gets donated to a 501(c)(3) you choose. Easiest version of “save money and do good” you’ll find this summer.

A Disney Cruise is one of the most universally good family vacations I book. Everyone gets fed, the kids have somewhere to be, the adults can actually drink coffee in peace. The hardest part has always been the price.

Right now, that’s a lot easier.

Disney Cruise Line is offering 50% off the voyage fare for up to 3 kids (17 and under) when you book 2 full adult fares. The deal applies to select sailings through spring break 2027, which is a wide window. Summer. Thanksgiving. Christmas. Spring break.

The booking deadline is June 14, so this is a real “decide soon” deal, not a year-out one. If a Disney Cruise has been a maybe in your house, message me this week and I’ll pull dates and prices that fit your kids’ ages, your school calendar, and your budget.

My services are free. The trip costs the same as if you booked it yourself. The commission Disney would have paid me anyway turns into a donation to the charity you choose.

Quick question for anyone with a Disney trip already booked.

Did you know Disney runs exclusive offers for guests who are currently on a trip or who just finished one? They’re called bounce back offers, and they let you book your next Disney trip at a discount you can’t get anywhere else.

Here’s the part that catches people: the booking window is short. You have to act during your current trip or shortly after, and most guests have no idea these offers even exist. They get home, they think the trip is over, and they leave real savings on the table.

If you’re already booked with someone else for an upcoming Disney vacation, that’s fine. Reach out anyway. I’ll tell you what to look for while you’re there, and when you’re ready to plan trip number two, I can book it for you. My services are free, and the majority of my commission gets donated to the charity you choose.

It’s Travel Advisor Appreciation Day, and the appreciation runs the other way.

To the families who’ve trusted me with your journeys, thank you. Because the majority of every commission goes to the 501(c)(3) of your choosing, your trips are quietly funding causes you care about. Meaningful memories for you. Meaningful impact for them.

That is the heart of Curated Journeys for Good, and it only works because of you.

The toys won’t make it into their memories.

I want you to think about the trips your family still talks about. Think about the inside jokes that were born in an airport, the meal that went sideways and became everyone’s favorite memory, the look on a kid’s face when something magical happened that no one could have planned.

Now? Think about the things you bought that same year. I’d venture to guess that most of it is probably gone — sold, donated, or forgotten.

I learned this one the hard way.

When my daughter was growing up, we gave her a lot of things (plenty of them good). They were things we thought she’d love, and she did (for a while). But watching her go through it all as an adult, and parting with most of it, I kept thinking about the trips we didn’t take. The years we said “maybe next summer.” The experiences we traded for stuff that didn’t last.

Travel doesn’t have to be extravagant to be meaningful. It doesn’t have to be Disney or Europe or a cruise (though I’m obviously partial to all three!).

It just has to be together, somewhere outside of your normal, where you’re making something worth remembering.

At 27, I went to Japan, and I’m so glad I didn’t wait! There are things I saw and felt on that trip that are still with me decades later, and no souvenir could have done that.

Your kids won’t remember the toys. They will remember the trip.

Whatever that looks like for your family: start dreaming about it. It doesn’t have to be perfect or expensive. It just has to happen!

What’s the trip your family still talks about? I’d love to hear about it in the comments! 👇

Don’t wait.

Whatever version of “we’ll travel when things settle down” you’re telling yourself right now, I’ve heard it a thousand times, and I’ve watched just as many families wish they’d started sooner.

I got to go to Japan at 27 not because the timing was perfect, or because I had it all figured out. I decided to just GO, and I am so grateful I didn’t wait until “someday” to do it. Those memories are part of who I am now, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

In my work, over and over again, I see parents who say “we’ll go when the kids are older.” Suddenly, the kids are older and they’re busy, and independent, and the window for family travel that felt so permanent turns out to have been smaller than anyone expected.

Travel while they still want to come with you.

Of course, the cost can feel like a huge obstacle but I’d be happy to show you just how accessible it actually is.

Disney requires as little as $200 down with no interest financing. A cruise can be locked in a year out, at today’s pricing, before the best cabins disappear. Black Friday travel deals are real and significant. There are so many more entry points than most people realize! You just need someone to help you find them, and that’s exactly what I’m here for 😊

You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to start.

Let’s make it happen, together! Let’s connect, through the link in bio. 🌍

Happy Earth Day 🌍

One of the questions I get asked most is: “Which charity does the donation go to?”

And my favorite answer is: whichever one YOU pick.

That’s the whole point of how I set this up. When you book a trip with me, the majority of my commission gets donated to the 501(c)(3) that means something to you. Not me…you.

So far we’ve supported education through the Dublin Education Foundation, which is close to my heart as a teacher. But it doesn’t stop there. Your cause could be ocean conservation. Animal rescue. Your kid’s sports booster club. A local food bank. A national park foundation. Literally any registered nonprofit that matters to you.

I think that’s what I love most about this work. Every family’s trip is different, and every family’s giving is different too. It’s personal in the best way.

On Earth Day especially, I love thinking about how travel and giving can go hand in hand. The places we visit are worth protecting, and your vacation can be part of that.

Okay I’m curious…if you booked a trip tomorrow, which cause would you choose? Drop it below. I want to hear about the organizations doing good work out there 👇

This is exactly why I do what I do! 🥹

Helping a family experience their first Jollywood Nights, and knowing the insider tips made a real difference in how they experienced it? That’s where the magic is for me. That’s what my decades of Disney knowledge is actually for!

If you’ve been on the fence about reaching out, let Elizabeth’s words be the nudge. If you’re for this kind of experience, I’d love to be the one to help you make it happen • Link in bio to start planning! ✨

(And thank you, Elizabeth! This means everything 🏰)
