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!

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-

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.

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!

Christmas in July! – Giveaway Alert**

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.

To start, Disneyland reservations and park access will look different than it ever has. Here is what you can expect when they first reopen:

Park Tickets

Tickets that were purchased prior to the closure have been adjusted. Guests should review the Know Before You Go listed on the Disneyland website prior to visiting. If you hold a 1-day ticket, you can check HERE to see when they are valid for.

You will need a Park Reservation and a ticket for that park on that day to enter. You can check the park availability calendar HERE. Reservations can be made on a rolling basis 60 days in advance of the day you want to attend.

At 1pm on that day, you can then utilize your park hopping ticket and hop to the next park.

Instead of one-on-one character greetings, guests can enjoy seeing their Disney Favorites from a distance as they cruise by in Character Cavalcades!

Guests must have a Disney Account in order to make park reservations.

The Disneyland App will be invaluable to use for mobile ordering, maps & GPS, theme park hours & other important times, Dining Reservations, Mobile Check-in for reservations, joining wait times for restaurants, and more!
