Happy Halloween! Fall is upon us with cooler weather and this is right about the time I start thinking of warm, sandy beaches and a frosty drink in my hands (sorry Pumpkin Spice Lattes - I love you too)! Lets talk travel!
Disney Cruise Line Opens Early 2025 Sailings
I feel like I'm beating a drum: but if you want the BEST pricing on a Disney Cruise Line vacation: booking EARLY is the best way to find the "lowest" pricing. Is Disney Cruise Line expensive? Yep. I can't argue with that!
However: the value and quality is what makes a Disney Cruise Line vacation stand out. From the rotational dining to the amazing kids clubs (oh wait, there's a wonderful spa too!): a Disney Cruise Line vacation FEELS like a true vacation. Characters wait around every corner with (for the most part) short lines! If you want ALL the magic of a Disney vacation but don't want to ruin your feet running around the theme parks - this is the trip for you!
Bookings open up to the general public on November 6, 2023. However: if you're a member of Disney Cruise Line's Castaway Club (Silver, Gold, Platinum or Pearl) - you can book earlier!
In early 2025, the Disney Fantasy, Disney Wish, Disney Dream and Disney Magic will all offer an assortment of three- to five-night getaways from Florida to Disney Cruise Line’s Bahamian destinations – the new Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point and the beloved Disney Castaway Cay. The Disney Fantasy and Disney Wish will set sail from Port Canaveral, Florida, while the Disney Dream and Disney Magic will voyage from Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Following its maiden voyage on Dec. 21, 2024, the newest ship in the Disney Cruise Line fleet, the Disney Treasure, will embark on an inaugural season of seven-night itineraries to the Eastern and Western Caribbean from Port Canaveral. Eastern Caribbean sailings will take families to the beautiful island of Tortola in the British Virgin Islands, Disney Castaway Cay and either San Juan, Puerto Rico, or St. Thomas, while Western Caribbean sailings will bring families to destinations such as Falmouth in Jamaica, Grand Cayman and Cozumel, Mexico. The week-long voyages will offer at least two days at sea, giving families more time to enjoy the unique spaces, immersive dining and world-class entertainment onboard the Disney Treasure.

ALL ABOARD!
I have some several (amazing) clients who LOVE rail journeys! And honestly: What's NOT to love? We aren't talking the L in Chicago, folks: comfortable rail cars with amenities for days. But the BEST part of a rail vacation is you will venture into areas that very few have traveled! You will scale mountains that only the train (and you) will see! Check out some of the best trips below (just click on the right side of the slide to see them all!):
How YOU Can Travel And Save Money!
Don't worry: I'm not trying to recruit you into an MLM - but many people don't know the benefits of traveling in a group! Do you belong to a club or have a big family and want to take a group vacation? Every cruise line (almost) and my trusted travel partners offer GROUP travel discounts - and the savings can be VERY good. How Good? So good that if you have enough people in your group - you can travel for free!
WHAT? FREE?!?! Yes - but as with anything in life: it comes with some restrictions and rules. But here's the quick overview of the benefits of a group vacation:
Free Cabin (on a cruise) or Room at a Resort if you have enough travelers!
Upgrades and/or On-Board-Credit
At Resorts: private cocktail hours and dinners
Booking Discounts/Savings For Everyone In Group
I work with MANY group travelers: Birthdays, Bachelor/Bachelorette Trips, Destination Weddings, Clubs, Multi-generational Families!
The minimum amount varies by season and destination/type of travel. In some cases, you'll receive a refund AFTER the trip in the amount of a room (or two).
You can even SHARE the discount: I have a group of travelers who created their own "Travel Club". They vacation to different All-Inclusive Resorts all over Mexico and the Caribbean. They receive a refund after the trip and use that amount to place deposits on their NEXT trip for everyone in the group! It's a great way to keep the fun going!
The savings are great BUT: the biggest perk is you won't do ANY of the work. I can create a unique webpage for your group with ALLLL the details! I take everyone's information, coordinate with each traveler: you won't need to hunt people down - that's MY job!
I'm probably doing a TERRIBLE job of describing this in writing because there are differences with each destination/company. But I can get these types of offers from African Safaris to a cruise in the Med and even a tropical trip to Mexico!
