The Value of a Disney Cruise Line Vacation

10/31/2015

Often I am asked 'what is the value of a Disney Cruise Line vacation?' In my opinion it is absolutely one of the best vacations out there to spend your hard earned money on! Inside every Disney Cruise are amazing experiences and memories specifically geared towards the entire family.

A World of Entertainment for Everyone

While other cruise companies are incorporating entertainment into their sailings, Disney Cruise Line is an entertainment company first! This distinction has allowed them to put on some of the most amazing experiences you can have on the Seven Seas! From Broadway caliber shows, unique parties throughout your journey, special fireworks displays at sea, first-run Disney movies, character experiences and much, much more. Disney Cruise Line is unparalleled in their entertainment value.

Top 4 Reasons to Use a Travel Agent

10/26/2015

I have to tell you I absolutely LOVE my job! It really is an awesome experience to help families make memories to last a lifetime. Often times though I get the same first question when I first speak to a new client-- why should I book with a travel agent? Well, there are lots of reasons!

Convenience

Let's face it. The world is a busy, busy place. We are constantly juggling work, family, and other commitments. We often just do not have time to plan a vacation, which is ironic because we really need a vacation to get away from the stress! Well, that's where I come in. My goal is to build a relationship with my clients, really get to understand their needs, and then plan the perfect vacation for them. Sometimes I plan every second of the trip. Other times I just give some pointers and advice for the client to maximize their trip. No matter what my job is to tailor services to your needs and help eliminate stress, because who really wants to stress over vacation!?

Become a Wilderness Explorer at Disney's Animal Kingdom

10/22/2015

During our last trip to Disney World’s Animal Kingdom theme park, we participated in the Wilderness Explorer experience. My son LOVED it and I loved that he learned something while having fun!

This hands on experience is based on Disney Pixar’s Up—allowing you to follow in the footsteps of Russell as you “explore the wilderness!”

Pick up your Wilderness Explorer Handbook as you approach Discovery Island from the entrance of the park. You must take the Wilderness Explorer’s Oath before setting off on this fun-filled adventure! You also have to show the lead Explorers that you know the saying and hand symbols of the group. Don’t worry mom and dad, it’s not too embarrassing!

Pirates League is Arrrrr-Some!

10/18/2015

Ahoy Matteys! The Pirates League, located in the Magic Kingdom, is a dream come true for all pirate fans.

Our boys love all things pirates so we decided to embark on a pirate makeover journey!

We checked in and the boys were taken over to get their pirate name assigned. Each had to spin a ship wheel three times to help roll a pair of antique pirate dice. Once they were done spinning the Pirate crew took us to the book of pirate names, assigning each boy his unique name-- hiding his real identity from would be pirate hunters.

Let’s face it, my family is BIG! With four kids ranging from diapers to learning to drive we need a lot of space when we go on our family vacations. The one downside is the world is built for families of four—two parents, two kids.

Disney’s Art of Animation Resort is the exception to that rule. This Value level resort provides amazing comfort for families of up to six people. During a recent visit to Disney World we stayed in this resort and here are some of the great highlights I found.

Mammoth Lakes: Hidden Gem of California

10/11/2015

When one thinks of the spots of natural beauty in California certain places seemed to be burned into our collective consciousness- Yosemite National Park, the Redwoods, Monterey, Death Valley. One place in particular though has always caught my eye and it tends to be a hidden gem few outside of the state know--Mammoth Lakes.

This picturesque area was first settled in the 1870’s as prospectors sought out riches in the mountains of the eastern Sierra Nevada. Alas the treasures sought were never realized and the small mining town quickly disappeared. In its place soon popped up settlers looking to find a life of prosperity based on other natural wonders— fishing, hunting, camping, hiking, and adventure.
