November 25, 2025 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!

runDisney Race Packages

May 21, 2019 WDW Dreams Into Memories

My Goal in 2020 is to run a race at Disney. I have been to Disney during races, and I have supported other racers but never raced myself. I am hoping to change that next year. I enjoy running and what could be better than doing it at Walt Disney World.

Disney just made it easier to book your race weekend trips. Now, we can reserve your room, tickets, AND your race registration. All at once! Done! It makes things more seamless for guests and it helps me offer you even more great customer service options.

We are now able to book for the January Marathon, Princess Marathon, and the Star Wars Marathon for 2020 pending availability. Let’s get it going!

#Adulting In Disney

April 12, 2019 WDW Dreams Into Memories

I spent the last weekend in Walt Disney World getting caught up on all the wonderful new things and the “limited time Magic” offerings. WOW was I busy but I learned so much. Since 2009, I have been to Walt Disney World once without children. That visit was brief and dictated by my lovely sister whose bachelorette party we were there for. This was the first time in ten years that I have been to Disney and was able to see and do “Adult” things. It was fantastic and I cannot wait to do it again in June.

Blinded by my children’s joy and all the things they want to see and do, I had forgotten how much was offered for crowds 21+. I want to share what I had experienced and learned so that those of you looking for a couples retreat, girls weekend, or fantastic group of friends getaway can see what a great option Disney Word would be.

I touched down in Orlando right around 8am and headed for the Magical Express. They grabbed my luggage for me, put me on the correct bus and I was off to my hotel – Port Orleans French Quarter. There are not many hotels that I do not like but for #Adulting purposes, I suggest staying in a Moderate or higher. The reason being the night time entertainment that Moderates and Deluxes offer. If you choose to do a day at the pool/hotel, you have a great choice of entertainment right there between the movies and live entertainment they offer in the evenings.

#Adulting at Resorts

Monorail Resorts

I love the resorts on the monorail. They are incredibly convenient, have a tremendous amount of amenities, and they have many #Adulting opportunities. This weekend, I participated in the Highway in the Sky Dine Around. It is a 5 course experience of bites and beverages. All of the stops are at the monorail resorts:

Disney’s Contemporary Resort
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa

It does culminate with the perfect viewing spot for Happily Ever After Fireworks. I was with a group of friends for this and we had a blast. I could also see how it could be incredibly romantic.

In addition to this experience, the monorail resorts have several bars and lounges that have live entertainment, great food & beverages, and each has at least one table service restaurant.

Boardwalk Resorts

The Boardwalk Resorts are also in a great area that have so many #Adulting opportunities. They are within walking distance to Epcot (they also offer the Friendship boats) so during all of the Epcot Festivals, they are a great option. You can also find great eateries and entertainment on the boardwalk including the Dance Hall and Jellyrolls Piano Bar. The resorts located at the Boardwalk are:

Disney’s Boardwalk Inn & Villas
Disney’s Beach Club Resort
Disney’s Yacht Club Resort
Disney’s Beach Club Resort & Villas

In addition to the Boardwalk entertainment, each specific resort has several options for entertainment including live music, lounges, bars, and golf courses.

Both the Boardwalk Resorts and the Monorail Resorts are on bodies of water. This is a fantastic advantage because of all of the marinas. Guests can charter private bass fishing outings, arrange dinner for a couple or a group out on one of the pontoons and sail during fireworks. You can even just arrange for a dessert and bring your own beverages on board. So many fun and romantic possibilities! Fort Wilderness also has boat rentals.

Other Resort #Adulting Opportunities

In addition to the Boardwalk & Monorail Resorts, several other resorts have great options for adults:

Stay “Club Level” for wonderful perks and service
Signature Dining Experiences (Jiko has the largest selection of South African wine in North America)
Chef’s Table
Spas
Bars & Lounges
Rent a Surrey Bike
The Beignet Dash (5k)
Shopping
Live Music
Movies under the Stars
Fire pits
Archery
Horseback Riding
Wagon Rides
Horse Stable Tours
Adult Pools (at select hotels)
Cabana Rentals
Canoes & Kayaks
Golf Courses & Mini Golf (Clubs for rent)
Espn

Luau at the Polynesian

If you are looking for a specific resort offering from the above list, let me know and I can help you find which Resort has it. The Disney Resorts have the perfect ingredients to make an amazing Adults Only Trip. Put a few of these options together for a group of friends or a romantic getaway and you will have the vacation of a lifetime! I am happy to help turn your Dreams into Memories!!

Next in the #Adulting Series will be #Adulting in Disney Parks
