The Disney Treasure

I was incredibly blessed with the opportunity to set sail on a pre-inaugural sailing on the Disney treasure. This sailing was hosted by Disney for specially chosen media and Travel agencies and I couldn’t believe that I got to be a part of it. The ship is easily one of my favorites, and I fell in love with all the magic and incredible theming throughout.

From the moment I stepped into the stunning atrium, I was in awe of my surroundings.  Every fixture and furnishing was specifically picked to reflect the incredible decor that will send you on a treasure hunt to remember. This is the first Disney Ship that has a more adventurous feel. Of course, there are princesses abound, but what I loved most was that they focused heavily on adventure. Stories such as Aladdin, Up, Encanto, Peter Pan, Moana, 20,000 leagues under the Sea, Marvel, Lion King, Cocoa, Haunted Mansion, and the Jungle Cruise were the main focus of the magic on this ship. As agents, we are so excited for our clients with little adventure seekers. 

Over the next 12 days, I will be sharing a series with you that I’m calling “12 Days of Treasure”. It will focus on the Treasure and its many offerings.

If you have any questions about the Disney Treasure or Disney Cruise Line, please contact me.  If you are ready to turn your Disney Dreams into memories that will be talked about for years, now is a great time! Disney Cruise line is currently running a promotion for half off of the deposit. Also, I have an inaugural sailing Disney Treasure pair of ears to give away. When you reserve with me, you are entered to win! I am implementing a new onboard credit gift-plan as well so stay tuned for that! As always, planning with me is complementary and you get my knowledge, experience, and expertise along with my time. See ya real soon!

We’re Going Live!

In 2020, I am going to be doing monthly updates via Facebook Live. I am aiming for the second Sunday of every month but that may change in the case of a holiday (or a research-based Disney Trip). I would love for you to join me.

I will gather the information I learn directly from Disney each month and then hop on Facebook Live to share it all, answer questions, and explain anything that may need an explanation. It is a great way for you to keep up on updates, closures, refurbishments, discounts, and more.

Star Wars Land Merchandise

I am in the process of writing up my trip report including a lot of information on Star Wars. I loved everything about it – the theming, the shops, the restaurants, Smuggler’s Run, the food, and of course, the Merchandise! There were the neatest things in these stores. These are items that have not been sold before and were created just for Galaxy’s Edge. I was so excited to see and play with them and we brought home quite a few souvenirs. While I write my trip report, I wanted to share this video with you. This is from D-23 and they share a lot of what is up for purchase when you visit Galaxy’s Edge at Walt Disney World or Disneyland. Check it out!

My Trip report and a further, more in-depth look of Star Wars Land should be up this weekend but I thought this was fun in the meantime! Enjoy!

If you are ready to visit Galaxy’s Edge to build your own Droid or take home some of this other amazing Star Wars Merchandise, contact me today and Let’s Turn Your Disney Dreams into Magical Memories!

Galaxy’s Edge Gets Major Award

© Disney

So, this happened! I did not know a Land in a Theme Park could even win such an amazing honor but if anyone can do it, it is Disney!

Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge was named one of TIME Magazine’s World’s Greatest Places in 2019! That is so huge! I can not wait to visit in a few weeks.

Excellent news: The agency I am a part of, Magical Vacations LLC, has hit a new level of awesomeness. Because of our dedication to our guests and the TYPE of customer service we provide, the owner has been requested to join a small number of other travel agency owners for an advanced showing of Galaxy’s Edge. She will gain access to the land tomorrow (2 days early!) and also will be present for the dedication of the land. This will give us access before the grand opening and I am thrilled to see what she has to share. Stay Tuned!

Galaxy’s Edge is on the Map!

© Disney

No, but really, it has officially been added to the Disneyland Guidemap! Here is your sneek peek!

This is said to be one of the most immersive lands to ever be added to a Disney Park. When it opens tomorrow, guests will have an experience of a lifetime and use all 5 senses to explore this 14 acre land.

The adventure that you will be able to have while in this land will be unforgettable and you will truly feel that you are in Batuu. In addition to the innovative attractions (Just Smuggler’s Run to start off, Rise of the Resistance to open later this year) guests will eat, drink, & interact as true explorers of the Galaxy.

I can’t wait for guest’s photos of this land and their experiences to start rolling in. Please share any photos and/or experiences and opinions you may have about the land. I will not get to Disneyland’s until November unfortunately but I will be at the opening week of Disney World’s and I am super excited to report back. Enjoy!

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!
