I am OOO making memories with my family. With a new college grad in the family, who knows how many more family trips will happen. I am glad as a family we never “waited for the right time” or “when the kids get a little older”. The time for family travel passes so quickly. Do it now w❤️

I took a 3 hour drive on Wednesday during the torrential rain to Connecticut and it was so worth it!! I spent the evening meeting with almost 30 resort and destination representatives from all over the world. I learned about new places and exciting upgrades to places I already love. Some new places have been added to my must see list.

🚨 Northeast-area families... this could be BIG! 🚨

There are strong industry rumors that **Disney Cruise Line may be announcing cruises from New York City very soon!** 🤩🚢

Imagine skipping the flight to Florida and simply driving a few hours to NYC before stepping aboard a Disney cruise. For many Capital Region families, that could make a Disney cruise easier (and potentially more affordable) than ever!

Nothing has been officially announced yet, but if these sailings become reality, I expect them to sell out FAST.

If you're a parent in the Albany/Capital Region and you'd like to be among the first to hear the details when they're released, send me your email or comment **"NYC"** below. I'll make sure you're one of the first to know if Disney makes some NYC magic and makes it official! ✨🏰🚢
