✨ A little Disney magic announcement! ✨

Instead of a big birthday party this year, we’re celebrating Penn turning THREE with something even more special… a trip to Walt Disney World! 🏰💫

This will be his second trip to Disney World (third Disney trip including Disneyland 😉), but technically his fifth Disney trip because he joined me twice ( at WDW and DL) while I was pregnant. 😂 Needless to say, this boy was born ready for the magic!

We picked this time because it’s the perfect little birthday celebration — and because he’s still under 3, he’s FREE! 🎉 (That “under 3 is free” perk is such a great reason to sneak in one more trip before the big birthday milestone!)

We will be CLOSED September 3–10 while we soak up all the Disney moments with our birthday boy. 🥳🏰

If you need anything while I’m away, please leave me a message and I’ll get back to you as soon as we’re home and back to normal.

Thanks for understanding while I take a little time to make some memories with my favorite little guy! ❤️✨

I’m a little late posting this one, but I couldn’t not share! ✨

My clients just got back from the sweetest trip — their daughter’s very first Walt Disney World vacation! 🏰💕

They spent 4 days in the parks with Park Hopper tickets, plus a much-needed rest day in between to enjoy the resort and recharge. They stayed at one of our favorites, Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, in a Savannah View room! 🦒🌿 (Seriously… waking up to the animals outside your window is such a magical experience!)

I loved helping this family plan such a special milestone trip, and I’m so excited they got to make these memories together! 💙

🍷🍽️ One of my FAVORITE times to visit Walt Disney World is almost here… the 2026 EPCOT International Food & W**e Festival is back August 27 – November 21! 🎉

If you’ve never been, this festival is so much more than food! You’ll find incredible Global Marketplaces, the Eat to the Beat Concert Series, Remy’s Hide & Squeak Scavenger Hunt (perfect for families!), Emile’s Fromage Montage, fun PhotoPass Magic Shots, and a brand-new “Cheers to Cheese!” exhibit opening September 18.

Some returning favorites have already been announced, and I can’t wait to see the full menus!

We’ll actually be there in just a few weeks celebrating Penn’s 3rd birthday, so getting to enjoy a little of Food & W**e while we’re there is an added bonus! 🎉❤️

If you’ve been thinking about a fall Disney trip, this festival is one of my favorite reasons to visit EPCOT. I’d love to help you plan a vacation that fits your family’s style, whether you’re there for the food, the festivals, or just the Disney Magic!

💡 One of our favorite Disney money-saving tips!

Here’s a little Disney secret that many guests don’t realize: At Disney quick-service restaurants, anyone can order a kids’ meal—not just kids! 🎉

This is something we do all the time to help save money on our trips. Kids’ meals are perfect when you want a lighter meal or know you’ll be snacking around the parks. Most include an entrée, a side (usually fruit or applesauce), and a drink, making them a great value.

One of our favorite tricks? 🍎 We don’t always eat the fruit right away. We’ll toss the mandarin oranges or applesauce into our park bag and save them for later in the day when we need a quick snack while waiting for a parade, standing in line, or walking between attractions. It saves us from buying another snack and helps keep everyone happy until our next meal.

And don’t think you’re limited to chicken nuggets! Disney offers all kinds of kids’ meals, including mac & cheese, burgers, tacos, pasta, grilled cheese, rice bowls, quesadillas, and more.

✨ It’s a simple tip, but it can really add up over the course of a vacation—especially for families!

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who continues to support my travel page and trusts me to help plan your vacations. I truly love what I do, and I’m so grateful for every single person who books with me.

I also want to ask for a little patience and grace.

I’m not a big travel agency with a team answering messages around the clock. It’s just me. I’m a full-time teacher, I’m on guard staff, a mom to an almost 3-year-old, and I run my travel business in the hours between all of that.

If you send me a message at 9:00 p.m., there’s a good chance I won’t be able to respond until the next morning. That doesn’t mean I’m ignoring you; it just means I’m spending time with my family or getting the rest I need so I can show up for all the roles I have.

I promise I will always get back to you, and I pride myself on getting quotes, answers, and bookings completed in a timely manner. You can ask any of my families, I work hard to make sure you’re never left wondering what’s going on. I simply ask for the grace to work around my schedule as a mom because my little boy will always come first.

Honestly, I think that’s part of what makes working with me different. I know how important family time is because I’m living it too. I understand that your family comes first, just like mine does, and I want to help you create memories together while still protecting the time I have with my own.

Thank you for supporting my little business, for trusting me with your vacations, and for respecting my time. It truly means more than you know. ❤️
