12 Days of the Disney Treasure

WDW Dreams Into Memories

Day 1 – Staterooms

Disney cruise ships have 4 room categories and within those there are several different types. You start by choosing the room category:

Inside Stateroom – These rooms sleep 3 to 4 guests and have 1 bathroom. There is no view of the ocean, as these are located on the interior of the ship.

Oceanview stateroom – These sleep 3 to 4 guests and have a split bathroom meaning one bathroom that has sink and shower, another bathroom has the shower and a sink. They have a porthole (some big enough to relax in) to view the ocean.

Oceanview with Verandah – These sleep 3 to 5 guests, they feature the split bathroom, and they offer a private verandah for you to sit out on and enjoy.

Concierge – These suites are the most roomy accommodations onboard. They sleep 5 to 7 guests and feature the split bathroom. Some types offer a separate bathroom and multiple bedrooms. All Concierge-level staterooms gain you access to the concierge lounge where food and beverages are offered as well as a concierge attendant to assist you with any needs you have.

Within these 4 categories are a variation of types of the room. These can be details such as how many guests you need to sleep, how many bedrooms the room has, and how much space the room has. It can get confusing but I am happy to help with that.

The Disney Treasure features several different themed rooms depending on what floor you are staying on. Here is a guide so you can get an idea of where you would like to stay –

Aladdin Theme – Decks 2, 6, 7, 10 & 13 (Rajah Suite)

Pocahontas Theme – 2, 6, & 7

Encanto Theme – 8 & 9

Up Theme – 8 & 9

Finding Nemo – 10 & 11

Luca – 10 & 11

The Lion King – 12 & 13

Jungle Book – 10 (Bagheera Suite)

Tomorrow Tower Suite is located on floor 13. It is a 2-story 4 bedroom, 5 1/2 bath suite with kitchen, dining room, living room, views of the ocean and decks below, and incredible theming and furnishings.

If you have questions about stateroom details or suggestions, please reach out and I will be happy to assist you with planning your next dream vacation. Planning is complimentary. Each reservation made between today, 12/16/24, and the end of January 2025 will be entered to win a pair of Disney Treasure Inaugural Sailing Loungefly Ears.

The Disney Treasure

WDW Dreams Into Memories

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!

Small Business Saturday

WDW Dreams Into Memories

Did you know that when you shop a small business, you are directly supporting someones dream? Think about the impact you can have on someones life and family. You are supporting someone’s dream to run a business that they are very passionate about. Something someone built from the ground up and put in countless hours to try to see it succeed.

In turn, you are supporting whatever causes they started their business for. A lot of Mom’s run businesses out of their homes for additional income to support their children’s dreams. It’s me. I’m that Mom. You are supporting a Dancer. You are supporting an up and coming baseball pitcher. You are supporting a young scientist who wants to attend every STEM event possible. You are truly supporting dreams.

When I ask guests why they haven’t used a travel specialist in the past, the first reason is because people think there is a cost associated with it. Did you know that it is free to use a travel specialist? We get paid by the company/destination you are traveling to. Our payment is built into the price of your trip already. That means even if you do not use a travel specialist, you are already paying for one! It is the exact same price as if you planned it yourself except you get all the added value of my knowledge, tips, and tricks. Plus I take on all the stress of calls & deadlines.

The other reason I am told is because people prefer to be able to handle all the details themselves. I know, I was one of those people before I first used a TS. The truth is, you can book through me and still make all the plans yourself. You have me watch for discounts, notify you of changes or closures, get through to vendors that you may have trouble with, assist in the event of a disaster (hurricane, blizzard, shut downs…etc) and provide you with tips and information that you may not have otherwise learned. You do not lose any control of your own vacation.

I also have a great referral program and may provide a few surprises along the way! Here is what is most popular this Small Saturday-

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.

Epic Universe Reservations Open

WDW Dreams Into Memories

What you need to know!

Five immersive worlds. One amazing theme park. Step through extraordinary portals transporting you to the excitement of Universal Epic Universe theme park, opening May 22, 2025 at Universal Orlando Resort. Tickets and packages are on sale now.

Reservations are also open for the Helios Grand Hotel. Guests of Universal Helios Grand Hotel will enjoy exceptional dining, a rooftop bar with 360° views, and relaxing amenities that will make your stay extraordinary. And only guests of Universal Helios Grand Hotel enjoy a dedicated entrance to Universal Epic Universe.

Tickets will be sold in phases. To start, you will not be able to purchase a single day ticket to Epic Universe. Initial tickets will need to be purchased as part of a ticket or room package. Eventually, other ticket options will be available such as Florida Resident tickets, Express passes, and other multi-day ticket options. Universal has hinted, but not confirmed, that these options will be available before the park actually opens.

Q: Why not wait until they are available to purchase?

A: Universal is monitoring the capacity of the parks and days will sell out. If you are interested in traveling within the first month or two of park open, I highly suggest booking now. Also, on the off chance they do not come out with options prior to park open, you will already be set.

Initially, park ticket packages will only allow 1 day at Epic Universe. If you purchase 3, 4, or 5 day tickets, only one of those days will be usable for Epic Universe. The other days would need to be used at one of the other 3 amazing theme parks.

Be flexible when it comes to trip planning. Undoubtedly, dates are going to sell out. You will want to have a back up set of dates and even a back up to that to make sure you are ready to book.

If you have some dates set aside and would like to start booking your adventure to Epic Universe, contact me today. Planning is complimentary and I can keep you on top of all news, updates, and announcements. Let the countdown to May 22 begin!

Christmas in July

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.
