Do you have a Cars fan in your life?

If so, then Disney’s Art of Animation Resort is the place for you. With immersive theming, family suites themed around the classic animated film, and a pool to match- it is the perfect destination for the Cars fan in every family.

Don’t need a family suite, but still want to see the resort? Hop on the Skyliner from the International Gateway near Epcot to stop by and experience the fun or plan your stay in a Little Mermaid standard room!

Make sure you give all the moms in your life some extra love today. We all know we wouldn’t be where we are without their patience, kindness, and love.

An extra special shoutout to Melissa Goeglein the star of our home. The boys and I are spoiled by your presence in our home every day.

It’s not too late to give mom the gift of travel this year. Whether it’s a family vacation to Disney, a cruise with her best friends, or a mom-and-dad all-inclusive vacation, I can help make it happen.

Happy Mother’s Day!

Okay, let’s debate: When entering the World Showcase at Epcot from the main entrance (I know many of us enter via the International Gateway) which way do you go? Start out or the left via the Mexico Pavillion or head to the right via the Canada Pavillion?

May the 4th be with you!

Galaxy’s Edge is one of those immersive locations that’s distinctly Disney. Every store, restaurant, restroom, and walking path keep you immersed in the world of Star Wars. And now with even more character sitings, it is a must make stop on any trip to Disney. The great news is that it doesn’t matter which coast you’re on. You’ll find similar experiences at Disneyland Park and Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Just booked!

Stoked for a multi-gen family Spring Break 2027 Trip on the Disney Dream! They’ll enjoy 4-nights with stops at Nassau and Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point! The Disney Dream sails out of Port Everglades, which is one of the most accessible cruise ports to sail from. It’s located adjacent to the airport and only a short distance from Miami. With an abundance of hotels it’s a great port!

Space is starting to fill up on Spring Break cruises already so reach out now if you’re considering hitting the high seas next year!

Happy 1st Birthday to our already well traveled little man, Theo.

In his first year he’s visited 5 states, flown across the country, and of course spent time in the Happiest Place on Earth.

We’re looking forward to year two which will continue to be filled with travel as our family travels to Disney World twice and he hits the high seas on Disney Cruise Line and Royal Caribbean!

Happy Earth Day! Can you see yourself soaking in the late April sun at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park? Same.

Did you know today also marks the anniversary of this one-of-a-kind park built around conservation, wildlife, and the beauty of our planet.

From getting up close with incredible animals, to learning how Disney is working to protect species around the world, to incredible stage productions, and unique rides this park is a reminder that travel can inspire us to take better care of Earth.

If you’re looking for a meaningful way to celebrate Earth Day, why not plan a trip to Disney’s Animal Kingdom?

Disney Cruise Line just dropped one of its BEST deals…

50% off the cruise fare for up to 3 kids on select sailings from Oct 1, 2026 – March 27, 2027. You just need 2 full-fare adults in each stateroom.

This is one of the best promos I’ve seen from Disney Cruise Line in a long time and it opens the door to some incredible itineraries, including both Halloween on the High Seas sailings and Very Merrytime cruises.

If you’ve been thinking about cruising with Disney, this is the kind of deal that makes it happen. DCL offers more value, more magic, and now a lot more room in the budget for experiences onboard.

Spots on these promos don’t last long, so if you want in, now’s the time to start planning. Let’s connect TODAY to make your Disney Cruise Line vacation a reality!

Did you hear? 2027 Walt Disney World vacation packages are now open.

If a Disney trip is even slightly on your radar, don’t wait to start planning. Here are the top three reasons I recommend booking early:

1. Best availability – The most in-demand resorts, room types, and travel dates go quickly, especially around spring break and the holidays. Booking early gives you the best options.
2. Low deposit, flexible planning – You can lock in your trip now with a small deposit and make payments over time while we dial in the details.
3. Promotions can be added later – If Disney releases an offer, I can apply it to your reservation if it qualifies. Booking early doesn’t mean missing out—it puts you in a better position.

If you’re thinking about 2027, now’s the time to get it on the calendar. Shoot me a message and let’s start planning.

Over Spring Break we were incredibly blessed to stay at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel and Spa in a two-bedroom suite. It was perfect mix of luxury and convenience. Our suite included one room with two queen beds and a double vanity bathroom, the other room featured a king bed with its own double vanity, and right in the middle was a spacious living room with a pullout couch and table. We had so much room to spread out. We also had 3 balconies, one for each bedroom and the living room! Perfect for a morning cup of coffee.

Our room was just a few doors down from the elevator and about 10 steps to the private entrance into Disney California Adventure Park. You really can’t much closer than that.

Oh, and swipe to the end to see the surprise waiting for us after our first park day!

We were absolutely spoiled and won’t be able to stay anywhere again! Every aspect of this resort from the lobby, to the three swimming pools, and breakfast at Storyteller’s Café were immaculate. We seriously don’t have enough good things to say about our stay at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel and Spa.

If you’re looking for the ultimate in luxury and convenience at Disneyland, this is it. We’ll be back and I’d love for you to experience the joy just like we had during your next Disneyland vacation!
