COMPLIMENTARY Travel planning for everything DISNEY, UNIVERSAL, CRUISING & MORE! Let's Start Planning!!

06/18/2026

I’m officially back from Anaheim, and my phone’s camera roll is completely full of Disney magic! 📱🎒🏰

Happy Disney Thursday! I just wrapped up an intensive, 4-day Disney Agent Education Program on-site at the Disneyland Resort.

While I got to sample some amazing snacks (thank you all so much for your recommendations last week!) and enjoy the park atmosphere, my days were packed with masterclasses, private hotel site tours, and direct updates from Disney destinations leadership.

The travel world moves fast, and things at Disneyland change constantly. My goal this week was simple: do the legwork on the ground so your family doesn't have to guess when you travel.

Here is a sneak peek at what I am bringing home to my clients:

🏨 The Real Hotel Scoop: I toured properties across the resort, meaning I can tell you exactly which rooms have the best views, which pools your kids will love, and where the best walkable options are.

⚡ Lightning Lane & Crowd Strategy: I tested out the latest park flow strategies firsthand so I can build seamless, low-stress itineraries that keep you out of lines and in the magic.

🤫 Hidden Gems: From the best quiet spots to grab a morning coffee to immersive dining experiences (hello, Trader Sam’s!), I’ve mapped out the exact details that elevate a trip from standard to unforgettable.

You don't need to spend hours scrolling blogs or stressing over logistics. You focus on making the memories, and let me handle the blueprint.

✨ LET'S BOOK YOUR MAGIC: I am officially back at my desk and ready to open up my calendar for late 2026 and 2027 Disneyland bookings! Comment the word 'MAGIC' below or drop me a DMs, and let’s start customizing a trip designed perfectly for your family.

👉 P.S. Keep an eye on my feed over the next few weeks—I'll be breaking down my official snack reviews, hotel tours, and secret park tips right here!

It might be Hawaii Tuesday, but today my "island hopping" looks a little more like walking from the theme parks over to the Disneyland Hotel✈️🏰

I am currently on the ground in California for a private, firsthand travel agent training event to make sure I have all the latest updates, strategy tips, and hidden gems ready for your next vacation.

But I still needed my tropical fix tonight, so I headed straight to Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar for dinner. If you’ve never been, this place is the ultimate masterclass in Disney storytelling—low lighting, interactive surprises every time someone orders a specialty drink, and an incredible island-inspired menu (the teriyaki chicken and furikake fries hit every time!)

The real takeaway? You don't have to choose between a classic theme park vacation and an island escape.

As your travel planner, I specialize in finding the exact right vibe for your family:

🏝️ Looking for a true tropical paradise? Let’s get you to Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa in Oahu, or design a custom Hawaiian cruise.

🏰 Need a quick, magical West Coast getaway? Let’s look at a Disneyland Resort weekend complete with a stop right here at Trader Sam's.

I’m studying all the latest resort updates this week so you don't have to. Drop a 🌴 if you're ready for the beach, or a 🏰 if you're ready for the parks, and let's start planning!

I need your expert opinions, Disney foodies! 🍦🥨 🍩

Happy Thursday! I am packing my bags because this Monday, I am flying down to Anaheim for an official Disneyland Agent Training Event! ✨

While my days will be packed with behind-the-scenes training, property tours, and soaking up all the latest updates to help my clients book the perfect vacation, I have a very important personal mission during my park breaks:

The Ultimate Disneyland Snack Challenge. 😋

I want to create a master list of the absolute best treats in the parks, and I’m letting you dictate my itinerary. Whether it's a classic staple or a hidden gem in Galaxy's Edge, I want to know about it.
Once I land, I’ll be hunting down your top suggestions, testing them out, and reporting back with my official reviews next week!

👇 WEIGH IN BELOW: Help me build my list!

What is the ONE snack that is a non-negotiable, absolute "must-try" whenever you visit Disneyland?

Are you Team Churro, Team Dole Whip, or do you have a secret favorite snack I need to discover? Drop it in the comments and tell me where to find it!

Last week I had the opportunity to expand my knowledge on the Hawaiian Islands and learn from the true experts.

hosted local travel advisors to help us learn more about each island and what makes each one unique. 🏝️

The Hawaii Travel team took us on a journey from Island to Island and I learned so much about each island that I didn't know before.

My biggest takeaway is that there is something for all styles of traveler in the Hawaiian Islands. 🏝️🌺

Been thinking about a Hawaii trip, but unsure which island is right for you? 🤔

Let me help you!

Shout-out to the amazing families who just officially locked in their Mexican cruise adventure for later this year! 🎉

🇲🇽Mexico is vast with lots to see and do. And what better way to see lots without having to repack your bags to jump on an airplane than to see Mexico by cruise ship.

🧭For my West Coast peeps, did you know there are lots of Mexican cruise itineraries leaving from both LA and San Diego?

Puerto Vallarta, Cabo, Mazatlan, there is so much history to explore and scenery to take in. It's not to be missed.

If you're thinking of cruising soon, let's chat. I've been finding some super good deals for last minute cruises to Mexico and beyond!

Who's your favorite Disney character and why?

I'd love to hear your stories. I'll start!

Donald Duck is my guy. When I was pregnant with my son I bought him a little stuffed Donald on a trip to Disney World.
He still has it to this day and Donald has become our family favorite. 🦆

No matter what park we go to, Donald is a must visit!

What's your Disney character story?!?

Happy Hawaii Tuesday!

Today I wanted to talk about a beautiful hidden gem in Kauai that most people miss.

👉The Canyon Trail to Waip'o Falls in Waimea Canyon State Park.

This trail is just under 4 miles round trip taking you through lush forest with breathtaking views of the canyon. You are rewarded with one of the most enchanting waterfalls I have ever seen.

Waimea Canyon is considered the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific" and now I know why.

This hike was truly our favorite part of our most recent visit to Kauai.

If you have been thinking about visiting Hawaii and want to explore beyond the sandy beaches, I have got lots of great tips for you! Let's chat!

Can't wait to share about our experience.
