WDW Dreams Into Memories

Get Ready: I’m Watching All the Black Friday Travel Deals For You!

As your travel advisor, this is one of my favorite times of the year—Black Friday travel deal season! Airlines, resorts, cruise lines, and tour companies are getting ready to drop some of their biggest promotions of the year, and I’m already watching the ads, updates, and early releases so you don’t have to.

If you’ve been dreaming about a vacation—whether it’s a quick weekend escape, a family getaway, or a bucket-list adventure—Black Friday is one of the BEST times to lock in serious savings. And the best part? I’ll handle all the searching, comparing, and planning for you.

Why This Matters for You

Black Friday travel deals usually move fast and sell out even faster. My job is to:

  • Track the early teasers and official promotions
  • Compare offers to make sure they’re real deals
  • Match you with the best options based on your travel style
  • Hold or book offers as soon as they drop
  • Make the whole process stress-free

So while the travel world is buzzing with sales, you can relax—I’m already on it.

Want First Access?

If you know you want to travel in 2026, now is the perfect time to get on my Black Friday interest list.
Tell me:

  • Your desired destination(s)
  • Your preferred travel dates or seasons
  • Your budget
  • Your travel style (solo, couples, family, adventure, luxury, etc.)

I’ll be able to grab deals the moment they go live.

Let’s Get Your 2026 Trip Ready – Some things to keep in mind:

  • I offer complimentary planning to any destination – I am paid by them and you pay the same if you book yourself or through me (Maybe less because I am great at finding deals)
  • I currently have incredible onboard credit offers and resort credits for several cruise lines and destinations – Just ask!
  • I travel quite often and am very familiar with the destinations I sell. If I have not been there personally, I will research the destination thoroughly. I approach it as if the trip is for my own family. This ensures I provide you with the best and most complete experience.

Black Friday is almost here, and I’m excited to help you plan something unforgettable. Stay tuned—I’ll be sharing highlights as soon as they’re announced.

Ready to get on the list or start planning? Just send me a message!

Day 5 of the 12 days of the Disney Treasure – Bars & Lounges

WDW Dreams Into Memories

Disney cruises are often synonymous with family fun, but when it comes to the Disney Treasure, adults are in for a treat of their own. The bars and lounges aboard this magical ship aren’t just places to grab a drink—they are immersive experiences that transport you to different worlds, each with its own charm, character, and hidden surprises. Whether you’re sipping on a cocktail or enjoying a quiet moment in a cozy nook, these spots are designed to ignite your imagination and elevate your vacation. Let me take you through my favorite hangouts aboard the Disney Treasure, where creativity and craftsmanship collide.

The Periscope Pub – I’ll never forget the first time I walked into The Periscope Pub. The walls, adorned with colorful nautical artifacts, immediately set the stage for an adventure. I was so excited when I recognized some familiar items. This seems like a pub that the captains from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea would frequent. It was almost like a scavenger hunt! See if you can find the giant squid! As I sipped my drink, I got completely lost in the ceiling of the pub. It is a “window” into the sea above you. I saw sharks, fish, and even a ship.

They do serve some really great pub food here as well. It is the perfect stop later at night when your belly remembers it is on cruise time and might need to nosh again!

Skipper Society – Skipper Society felt like stepping onto the Jungle Cruise (without the piranhas & monkeys). This lively, yet refined, lounge immerses you in an exotic, jungle-inspired atmosphere, complete with lush greenery, whimsical details, and a dash of playful mischief. As you settle in with a cocktail in hand, you’re transported to a world where storytelling and adventure reign supreme. The drink menu is just as enchanting, featuring vibrant concoctions that capture the essence of the jungle—bold, refreshing, and bursting with flavor.

Haunted Mansion Parlor – The Haunted Mansion Parlor was the most immersive and you truly feel like you are in the Mansion. Check out my full review here.

Scat Cat Lounge – “The moment I walked into Scat Cat Lounge, I was instantly swept into the rhythm of the music. The jazz band played classic tunes, and I couldn’t resist tapping my feet along to the beat. The energy was infectious, and the ‘Turkish Tea experience’ cocktail added just the right touch of New Orleans charm to the experience.”

The Rose – The Rose was an experience in itself. The plush velvet chairs, the soft lighting, and the refined atmosphere made me feel like I was in a hidden gem. I savored every sip of my cocktail which was as delicate and exquisite as the surroundings. It was the perfect spot for a sophisticated evening of relaxation.

Jade Cricket Cafe – After a busy day of exploring, I found myself drawn to the peaceful charm of the Jade Cricket Café. The delicate flavors of the tea cocktails were the perfect complement to the calm, serene atmosphere. It was a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of the ship. For you Mulan fans, Crickee makes a special appearance!

Heihei Café – Heihei Café was the spot I kept coming back to for its fun, carefree vibe. With a Moana-inspired drink in hand, I could feel the island breeze (even though I was indoors!). The cocktails were fruity and refreshing—perfect for a midday pick-me-up as I basked in the tropical atmosphere.

The Disney Treasure is a paradise for adults seeking imaginative experiences, and the bars and lounges aboard this stunning ship embody that magic. From the whimsical charm of Skipper Society to the elegant serenity of The Rose, there’s a spot to suit every mood, every occasion, and every drink preference. Each venue brings something unique to the table—and trust me, I loved every moment spent in each one. So, if you’re planning your next Disney cruise, make sure to leave time to explore these exceptional spaces. After all, where else can you toast to adventure, sophistication, and pure magic—all in one sip?

Now, let’s plan your next “Treasure” of a vacation. It is the perfect time with all the Disney Cruise Line offers and my additional offers. Visit my new on-board credit offer and giveaway page for more information.

Disney Treasure Preinaugural Sailing

WDW Dreams Into Memories

I have been blessed with the incredible privilege of being invited to sail on the preinaugural sailing of the Disney Treasure. The Disney Treasure, sister ship to the Disney Wish, is setting sail on its inaugural sailing on December 21, 2024. My Earmarked agency has been invited to sail on the preinaugural sailing along with other top agencies and media which sails on December 12, 2024.

I am so excited, I really cannot wait. Not only because I am a Disney Cruise fanatic myself, but because sailing this early will allow me to learn all that I can about this ship and its itineraries so I can best serve you! My guests!

We set sail in less than 30 days. In the meantime, I will be sharing a few videos about planning and preparing for a Disney Cruise. Videos will include things to take care of as you countdown to your cruise, special things to pack for cruising and specifically Disney cruises, special events to prepare for on the sailing, and the Disney Navigator App. Be sure to look out for those to help you when it is your time to cruise.

As I prepare to sail, I want to know what you want to learn while I am onboard. What do you want to see? what do you want to learn about? What information can I find out to share with you? Email me or contact me through any of my social media platforms and let me know. I plan on taking all of the pictures and sharing whatever I can but if there is something special, let me know!

Here are a few incredible new venues that will be exclusive to the Disney Treasure-

If you are interested in pricing out a Disney Treasure Cruise or a cruise on any of the other Disney ships, reach out today. My advice and planning is complimentary and you get all my knowledge and expertise. Pricing will always be the same as it would be with Disney but I can keep track of the special dates for you and secure all the reservations and port adventures you are interested in. Plus, don’t forget about our signature Minnie Box with each reservation.

Disney Genie

WDW Dreams Into Memories

All things Disney Genie, Disney Genie +, and Lightning Lane

There are 3 parts to this whole program- Disney Genie, Disney Genie+, and Lightning Lane

Disney Genie

Disney Genie is a new service provided by Disney that will assist you with park touring. While I as your Travel Specialist can plan your vacation for months and try to fit in all the fun, surprises, and memories that we possibly can, things do happen. Sometimes a ride will go down, sometimes you will sleep through your alarm, sometimes someone will need a nap or you will decide you really want that mid-day break that we didn’t plan for. Genie is your day-of planning service. It will help you with which rides have the shortest wait, where to get your favorite snacks, and it will also be where you will book your Lightning Lane times. This service is complimentary.

Disney Genie+

Disney Genie+ is basically this day’s virtual FastPass. It will be an add-on to your ticket and will be $15/day/guest. You will have the ability to make your first attraction selection at 7am for a time that day. When it is your return time, you enter through the Lightning Lane and should have a very minimal wait. When you have redeemed that selection or once that time window passes, you can make another selection for another attraction. This will be available for over 40 attractions throughout Walt Disney World. For those with Park Hoppers, you can make selections in other parks as well.

In addition to the shorter wait times, Disney Genie+ does offer you special photo pass lenses that will expand your options for your Memory Maker. There will also be Audio Tales available through the app that will inform you of special behind-the-scenes hints, tips, and stories during your visit.

Lightning Lane Pass

Yes, this is the actual Lane that you return to when you have Disney Genie+ but it is also the term being used for a select few attractions that will not be a part of Disney Genie+. Some of the most popular attractions will be available at an extra cost. This cost will vary based on the attraction and the day you are visiting. Anyone can purchase these Lightning Passes – you do NOT have to have Disney Genie+ in order to get one. You can purchase up to 2 attractions per day. Disney Resort Guests can make their selection at 7am. Guests staying off site can purchase when the park opens.

Individual Lightning Lane Options:

Magic Kingdom: Seven Dwarfs Mine Train & Space Mountain

EPCOT: Frozen Ever After & Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure

Hollywood Studios: Mickey’s Runaway Railway & Rise of the Resistance

Animal Kingdom: Flight of Passage and Expedition Everest

Disney Genie+ can be added on to an existing ticket or be added to a package going forward. Contact me to find out how and to reserve your Walt Disney World Vacation. Let me help your turn your Disney Dreams into Magical Memories!

FAQ

There is no free way to wait in line?

-You can still use Standby/virtual queue for all of your favorite attractions! There is no additional cost for this.

The Disney Magic will be sailing to several different places. They will start with the Greek Isles and the Mediterranean. They will then sail to northern Europe to visit places like the Baltic, British Isles (look for Hans in those Southern ones!), Iceland, and the Norwegian Fjords. Do you think you will spot some famous Frozen Sisters?!

New ports of call:

  • Chania, Greece
  • Porto, Portugal
  • Riga, Latvia
  • Maloy, Norway
  • Nynashamn, Sweden, near Stockholm

Alaska

The Disney Wonder will return to Alaska in 2022. Guests can take in amazing views of glaciers, mountains, local wildlife, and more. These 7 night itineraries will depart from Vancouver and stop at Dawes Glacier, Skagway, Juneau and Ketchikan.

Caribbean

New in 2022, Disney Cruise Line will call Miami a home port. All sailings out of Miami will visit the famous and beautiful Castaway Cay.

Out of Port Canaveral, the Fantasy will sail several different Caribbean itineraries that range from 5-9 nights. All of these sailings will also stop at Castaway Cay.

The Disney Wish

The Disney Wish is still set to make its debut as the 5th ship in the Disney Cruise Fleet in the Summer of 2022. As soon as I have further details, I will be sure to share them here.

Pre & Post Cruise Disney Enchantment

If your cruise itinerary just isn’t long enough for you, why not add on some extra magic? Guests sailing out of Port Canaveral & Miami are conveniently situated right near Walt Disney World before and after their sailing. Why not add on a few extra days of excitement? I like to call this the Surf & Turf option!

If you are sailing out of other ports, check out an Adventure by Disney Escape. These are amazing VIP experiences where you will see some of these beautiful destinations around the world in a way that you will never forget.

Now the important part! – When to Reserve

Disney Cruise Line is not like most other lines where the closer you get to the cruise, the lower the price will go. They book every room every sailing fairly early on. That is why, the best time to purchase and the way to save the most is to book as soon as it is released. As the rooms book up, the prices may increase. Here is when you can reserve!

Let’s start talking about your Disney Cruise dreams today and let me help you turn them into Magical Memories that will last a lifetime! When you reserve with me, I can make all the early morning and late night calls and sit on all the long holds while you go about your life. I keep track of all the important dates along the way so you do not have to. I am also constantly monitoring for price changes, excursion information, and more. Not to mention, I absolutely love Disney Cruise Line and I will plan your trip with the attention to detail as I would my own. If I can’t sail all the time, why not see the joy through planning others!

Plus, all Disney Cruise Line vacations reserved through me will receive The Minnie Box! Full of information and small gifts of excitement to make getting ready for your trip that much more special.

See Ya Real Soon!
