Black Friday & Cyber Monday 2025

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!

Christmas in July

July 12, 2022 WDW Dreams Into Memories

It is that time of year again! Christmas in July! While you are taking your awesome Summer vacations and enjoying time with family and friends, it is a great time to thing about going away for the Winter Holidays. If you prefer to stay local during that time, it is also the perfect time to thing about a magical adventure that you can gift to them this holiday season.

Why It’s A Great Time to Reserve

Better selection!

Whether it is a room at your favorite Disney or Universal Resort, a specific cruise itinerary, or availability at your favorite all inclusive, reserving further in advance is best. It gives you the greatest chance at getting the room or itinerary you prefer.

Better pricing!

Often (especially for cruising) the rates are lowest when they are first released. Plus, even if a lower rate or promotion does come out after you reserve, it is something we can take advantage of even after you have booked.

Great Deals!

There are currently great promotions running for Disneyland, Disney World, Disney Cruise Line, Universal, Virgin Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean, Sandals, and more – just ask about the destination you are interested in!

Shop Early!

Whether you are considering gifting a vacation to your loved ones this holiday season or actually traveling during the holiday season, booking now will take care of a chunk of your shopping – and it is only July!

Excitement!

You will have this trip to look forward to for months. I can help you think of fun and fantastic ways to gift this to your family and we can have extra time to plan and perfect.

Giveaway!

I am currently running a Christmas in July Giveaway. If you book a qualifying vacation with me in the month of July for travel between now and the end of 2023, you will be entered to win a $50 gift card to your destination.

If you can’t travel but know friends or family who might be, I also do a referral giveaway. Refer a guest to me in the month of July and you will receive one entry for every reservation referred for a $25 giveaway to Amazon or the coffee spot of your choice!

Contact me today for pricing & details. Let’s get you reserved for your next adventure and turn your dreams into memories!

Disney Genie

October 10, 2021 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.

Christmas in July! – Giveaway Alert**

June 30, 2021 WDW Dreams Into Memories

Green & Red ice Cream! Santa in Board Shorts! Caroling by the Pool! It must be Christmas in July. It is that time of year where I like to share Holiday Tips, Recipes, Did You Know?’s, and more – all centered around Disney Destinations. Follow along through the month of July for my daily posts.

July is a great time to start looking into your holiday travel plans as well. I can never decide which is my favorite kind of trip to help plan – One where the family is at a Disney Destination for the holidays and we plan all through the fall or when I help a guest plan a trip to gift to their loved ones on Christmas morning. Both are exciting and so much fun.

Last Christmas in July, I did the 12 days of Christmas with several different tips on how to “wrap” a trip to a Disney Destination and gift it on Christmas morning. I had a lot of fun with these with some of our guests and would love to assist you if it is something you would be interested in.

Along with my daily post, I will be doing a giveaway at the end of the month. If you book a qualifying trip** between 7/1/21 & 7/31/21 with me to any Disney Destination*, you will be entered to win a $50 Disney Gift Card!

Not planning on traveling any time soon? I will also be doing a referral gift card! If you refer a guest who books a qualifying reservation, you will be entered into a drawing for an amazon gift card.

My planning services are always free of charge and will save you time, stress, and even money! Not familiar with Disney – I can assist you with it all from start to finish, dining, itineraries, and everything in between. You’re a Disney pro who could plan and navigate in their sleep? Reserve through me and plan the whole thing on your own. Just have me here to wait on long phone holds, apply discounts when they become available, have my knowledge & passion at your disposal, and get you accurate ever-changing information & updates often before they hit the public.

Contact me today!

*Qualifying destinations are not just limited to Disney Destinations. Universal vacation packages, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Virgin Cruise Lines, & Sandals also qualify and gift card will be for destination reserved.

**All Disney Cruise Line, Aulani – A Disney Resort & Spa, Adventures by Disney, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Virgin Cruise Lines & Sandals packages qualify for entry in drawing. Disneyland, Walt Disney World, & Universal packages must be 3 night resort stay/3 days of tickets to qualify.

Celebrate Women

March 15, 2021March 15, 2021 WDW Dreams Into Memories

We are celebrating Women’s History and Women all month long. What better way to celebrate women than to support their small businesses.

When the pandemic hit, many people lost their jobs or had to abandon them to stay home with children that were unable to go to school. Now as we slowly start to rebuild, small businesses need our help and support more than ever. During this month that we devote to celebrate amazing women of our past, present, and future, do your part to support women owned and operated business.

I am a travel professional helping guests travel to all corners of the world with Disney through parks, Aulani, cruising, and Adventures by Disney. Disney is truly a passion of mine. I also help guests with their Universal Studios travel and have recently became trained and certified in several cruise lines (Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Virgin) and all-inclusive resorts (Sandals, Club Med). I do this because I love to travel myself and I really enjoy helping others turn their travel dreams into memories that will last a lifetime.

If you are unable or not ready to travel at this moment, you can still support your favorite travel agent! Here are a few ways:

Like their posts on social media
Comment on their posts
Leave a review
Give them a shout out
Refer them to friends and family

That last one is probably the most important. A referral from a previous guest is one of the highest compliments an agent can receive. Also, we can work with anyone, anywhere. It does not have to be someone local.

I thank you for your continued business and support. It means so much!
