The Podcast is BACK!

If you have ever wondered what makes a Disney Cruise Line vacation truly unforgettable, let me point you straight to a recent Wednesday where I experienced one of the funnest days of my life. On a 4-night sailing aboard the Disney Wish, the middle of the cruise is where the magic absolutely peaks, and I got to experience every single moment firsthand during my Disney Cruise Line Agent Education Program. Castaway Cay in the morning, Pirate Night in the evening, and fireworks over the open ocean to cap it all off. Whether you are dreaming of your first Disney cruise or already counting down to your next one, here is everything you need to know about the most magical day at sea.

If you’re a newer guest to Walt Disney World there are many pieces and parts to your upcoming trip that you may be unsure of and unfamiliar with. One of those things might just be the free transportation options.  If you’ve never been to Walt Disney World you may not know that Disney provides transportation free of charge around property. This can look like a bus, a monorail, a skyliner, or a boat. That’s a lot of options. How are you supposed to know which ones to use, how to use them, where to go, and where it will take you?! A great starting point is finding out what kind of transportation the resort you have chosen to stay at offers.  Of course your travel agent is an amazing resource and can help talk you through all of your transportation needs. You can also utilize your myDisneyExperience account online or through the app. Visit your resorts page and see the guest services tab and your transportation options will be listed there. From there you have the option to locate on the map and even get directions. 

After recently returning from my Maui vacation, one of the most common questions I have been getting as a travel advisor is, "Should we go to Puerto Rico or Hawaii?" The truth is that both destinations offer beautiful beaches, incredible food, outdoor adventures, and unforgettable experiences. But the best choice depends entirely on your travel style, budget, and vacation goals. Let's compare the two!

If you've ever started pricing cruises, you've probably had the same reaction many of my clients do: "Why is Disney Cruise Line so much more expensive than other family-friendly cruise lines?" It's a fair question. When you're comparing two seven-night cruises with similar itineraries, it can be confusing to see such a big difference in price. You might look at the ship, the destinations, and the number of nights and wonder, "What exactly am I paying more for?" Having sailed on different cruise lines both before kids and with kids, I've experienced cruising from different stages of life. I genuinely believe every cruise line has something special to offer, and the best choice depends on what kind of vacation you’re looking for.
