    A Review of the Gran Destino Tower at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort

    2024-01-03T14:36:27-05:00August 6, 2019|Disney Travel, Uncategorized|0 Comments

    Recently, I had the opportunity to attend the Villains After Hours event at Magic Kingdom (so much fun!). While planning for the last minute trip, I couldn’t pass up an opportunity to stay at the newly opened Gran Destino Tower located at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort. For those not familiar, Coronado Springs falls into the moderate resort category and is located in the Animal Kingdom resort area. It was originally opened in August 1997, boasting a blend of Spanish, Mexican, and American Southwest cultures. After living in New Mexico for six years, I can say the theming of the main [...]

    Navigating the Emerald Coast

    2024-01-03T14:38:34-05:00July 30, 2019|Travel Destinations|0 Comments

    If you have ever been to the South in the summer, you know unbearably, hot humid weather is a guarantee. A great way to beat the heat is to take a trip to the beach! From Alabama to Florida, the gulf coast is a popular family destination. Every summer, visitors from all over the world visit the amazing white sand beaches and emerald green waters in the Destin area. Even Luke Bryan dropped anchor at the ever-popular Crab Island for the 4th of July this year! Here are a few of my favorite places to visit when visiting the Emerald [...]

    2019-07-15T18:45:52-04:00July 15, 2019|Disney Travel|0 Comments

    Resort Size. Port Orleans French Quarter is the smallest moderate resort at Walt Disney World. The food court, arcade, pool, and bus stop are all a quick hop, skip, and a jump away from your resort room.  Boat transportation to Disney Springs. Sit back and relax as the Sassagoula Steamboat haulage company transports you and yours on a quick ride to Disney Springs along the picturesque, tree-lined banks of the Sassagoula River.  Sister Property.

    Nothing is worse than the trip home after the most amazing vacation ever! Everyone is tired (ok fine...grumpy) from a week of fun and slightly sad (devastated) because it’s over. No one wants to sit around the airport waiting for a flight.  After our most recent Disney Cruise, we arrived at the airport at 9:30 am and didn’t board our plane home until 4:40 pm!  Here are my favorite tips for a fighting chance at a smooth waiting period when everyone just wants to be home.....yesterday.  A backpack for each traveler (mom and dad shouldn’t be the only pack mules) [...]

    SeaWorld All-Day Dining: Is It Worth It?

    2023-10-06T22:35:30-04:00June 25, 2019|Travel Destinations|0 Comments

    SeaWorld is a great addition to your Orlando-area vacation!  This park has a lot to offer whether you are there to learn more about animals, see shows, or experience some amazing thrill rides.  Our girls love marine life and both dream of being marine biologist.  We decided to take a weekend getaway to Orlando over Father’s Day weekend to celebrate our eldest’s 9th birthday!   There are several add-on options when booking your visit to SeaWorld.  I wanted to try the all-day dining.  For around $130 TOTAL, we were able to keep our family of four well fed for the [...]

    Why, now more than ever, you should take your preschooler to Disney! UPDATED April 15, 2021 In 2019, I highlight some of the top reasons you should consider taking your preschooler to Walt Disney World here.  A first trip to Walt Disney World is still magical, even with changes made to create a safe environment for all guests and Cast Members.  They remember more than you think.

    Top Reasons to purchase a beverage package on Royal Caribbean

    2023-11-12T15:30:53-05:00June 17, 2019|Cruising, Royal Caribbean, Travel Destinations|2 Comments

    “Is the beverage package worth it?”  That is a question I am frequently asked by clients.  As a traveler, I never purchased one because I didn’t think it was worth the money and would not save me any money.  As a travel agent, I am willing to try everything once, so I can offer well-researched advice.  After booking our most recent cruise, and first on Royal Caribbean, it was time to research! Royal Caribbean offers several drink packages, although we only considered two – the refreshment package and the deluxe beverage package.  Both packages offer fountain sodas, Coca-Cola Freestyle beverages, [...]

    Savi’s Workshop

    2023-10-06T22:33:56-04:00June 13, 2019|Hollywood Studios|0 Comments

    Savi’s Workshop is a little bit hard to find.  Since the Black Spire Outpost is under the protection of the First Order, the Resistance and Force sensitive beings have to remain hidden and out of sight.  The only way to find the shop is by looking for the Blue Lightsaber Banner outside the store.                                 Savi is very important to the Force, and was one of the original Gatherers.  The Gatherers are a group of people who have dedicated their lives to restoring balance in [...]
