Run Away to Magic with Maria

06/05/2026

Late post, but I still want to celebrate all the hard work that went into May! I'm so thankful for all the families and friends who trusted me with their vacation plans! Some were booking last-minute getaways, while others were already looking ahead to 2027.

Here's a look at what was booked this month:

🏰 Labor Day Weekend at Disney's Port Orleans Riverside

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 An extended family Spring Break 2027 trip to Disney's Coronado Springs Resort, with the grandkids getting to experience Disney World for the first time

🎨 A late-summer stay at Disney's Art of Animation Resort after a little FOMO and deciding to join her sister's Disney vacation

🚢 A family's first Disney Cruise aboard the Disney Dream, spending Spring Break 2027 sailing with a group of friends

🎃 Several families added Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party tickets, took advantage of the Florida Resident Summer Magic Ticket, and grabbed the 4-Day, 4-Park ticket offer

I love that every trip is different—from quick weekend escapes to bucket-list vacations and first-time Disney experiences. Now it's time to keep planning and make each of these trips as magical as possible!

If you're thinking about a Disney vacation, whether it's for this year or you're already planning ahead for 2027, I'd love to help make it happen.

📍 Which trip would you be most excited about: Disney World, a Disney Cruise, or both? 👇

We always like to kick off summer with a little family adventure, and this year we kept it close to home with a staycation at SeaWorld Orlando!

We stayed at Hilton Grand Vacations Club near the park, and having a one-bedroom suite with a kitchen was a game changer. Traveling with kids is always easier when everyone has a little extra space and easy access to snacks and meals.

We also took advantage of the complimentary SeaWorld tickets available each year to active-duty military members and veterans. It’s such a wonderful benefit and a great way for military families to make special memories together.

While Disney will always have our hearts, the kids love mixing it up with a different experience, different rides, and all the amazing animal encounters that SeaWorld offers.

Summer is officially here, and I can’t wait to see where everyone’s adventures take them!

🌴 Are you planning a big vacation this summer, taking a staycation, or squeezing in a few weekend getaways? Tell me where you’re headed—I love hearing about everyone’s travel plans!

If you’re a parent, then you understand that May-cember is NO JOKE 😅

Between end-of-school events, awards, countdowns, spirit days, and all the chaos that comes with wrapping up the school year, life has been BUSY. But summer is officially here, school is done, and our first summer vacation is almost here too! ☀️✈️

Even in the middle of all the craziness, I’ve still been helping families book some pretty amazing vacations and I cannot wait to start sharing where everyone is headed! From Disney to cruises and beyond, so many fun trips are on the calendar already. ❤️

Now that summer has officially started, I’m back and ready to help more families plan their next adventure! Where are you hoping to travel this year? 🌎

A Disney cruise is one of the few vacations where you don’t have to plan every hour of the day.

And for a lot of families, that’s the biggest difference.

People usually ask if a Disney cruise is “worth it” compared to other cruises.

What I tell families is this:
‘it’s not about more activities but about seeing Disney characters in a more intimate setting’

‘it’s about how easy the experience feels
and how much is already included’

If you’re comparing options, I can break it down side by side for you.

I’ve been rechecking Disney Cruise Line pricing lately and seeing a lot of movement in availability again.

Some sailings are pricing better than expected, especially for families who are flexible with dates or room categories.

The tricky part is that the best staterooms usually go first once pricing updates hit.

If you’ve ever looked at a Disney cruise and thought it was out of reach, I can check current options for your dates and show you what it actually looks like right now.

Just send me a message and I’ll take a look.

Yesterday we spent the day at EPCOT with a high of 93°, and these are some of the ways we stayed cool in between rides! ☀️💦

We took breaks inside attractions like the Pixar Short Film Festival and the Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along for some much-needed AC. While the adults stopped for food and drinks, we also visited the Kidcot postcard stations so the kids stayed entertained while cooling off indoors.

Summer is officially here, and adding AC breaks into your park day can make such a big difference in helping everyone enjoy the magic without overheating!
