Planning a Disneyland or California Adventure trip with kids? Here’s one tip that will save you so much stress on the day of:

✅ Measure everyone at home (shoes on!)
✅ Save this height chart so you can plan your “yes rides” ahead of time
✅ Build your day around what your whole group can do together — then layer in the thrill rides as bonuses

Two things I always tell families:

Height checks at the parks are strict. Kids can be right on the edge, so measure before you make any promises. 😬

If you’ve got mixed heights in your group, plan a few “split moments” — one person rides while the others grab a snack or hit a nearby attraction. It keeps things moving and keeps everyone happy.

We’re halfway to Halloween and I am NOT sorry for bringing this up. 🎃

Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is one of my favorite things to plan for families — it’s a separate ticketed event on select nights in late summer and fall, and it is so worth it if you want that extra layer of Disney magic.

Here’s what’s included:
🍬 Trick-or-treating throughout the park
👻 Rare character meet & greets you won’t find any other time
🎶 Mickey’s Boo-to-You Parade
🧙‍♀️ Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular
🎆 Not-So-Spooky Fireworks
🎢 Ride overlays + exclusive snacks and merch

And here’s the thing most people don’t realize — you can enter Magic Kingdom as early as 4 PM on party nights. That’s up to 8 hours of magic.

I’ll always be straight with you — even when the pretty travel photos won’t be. 📸

So much travel content is designed to look good. Not to match your budget, your family’s needs, or what you’re actually hoping for. And the gap between “best trip ever” and “we should’ve researched more” is almost always in the details.

Here’s what I actually do for my clients:
✔️ Help you choose what fits your travel style (not just what’s trending)
✔️ Walk you through the real trade-offs before you commit
✔️ Build a plan that flows smoothly from start to finish
✔️ Help you feel confident instead of second-guessing everything

I’ll help you sort the “looks amazing online” from the “actually amazing for you.” Those are two very different things. 😄

Travel Tip Tuesday: look at the total cost of your trip — not just the price tag. 💸

A trip can look like a great deal right up until the extras start stacking up.

Take 5 minutes before you book and add up the real numbers:

✈️ Flights + baggage fees
🚗 Transfers and transportation (airport → hotel, rental car, parking)
🏨 Resort fees + taxes (these can be sneaky)
🍽️ Food and drinks if they’re not included
🤿 Excursions and activities
🛡️ Travel protection (I strongly recommend this for most trips)
💵 Tips and gratuities
📍 Location costs — are you paying more just to get to where you actually want to be?

Sometimes the “cheaper” option ends up costing more in the end. More on this on the blog — questions? My DMs are open. 😊

Disney planning just got a little more exciting. ✨

This graphic has the latest Walt Disney World openings and updates — and if a 2026 trip is anywhere on your list, it’s worth saving. I just published a full roundup on the blog too if you want all the details! (link in bio 🔗)

Tell me in the comments — what are you most excited about?!

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mamas doing the most every single day. 💛

Whether your dream is a Disney trip with your littles, a girls’ trip with no agenda, or just… a vacation where someone else handles the details — you deserve it. Wishing you a day full of rest, magic, and maybe a little adventure. 🌸

Happy Global Travel Advisor Day — and yes, I’m going to take a moment. 🥹

This job is so much more than booking trips. It’s late nights and early mornings. It’s sitting on hold for hours because your reservation matters and I’m not hanging up. It’s the behind-the-scenes stuff that never makes it to the feed — but it’s also the reason I show up every single day.

My people deserve an advocate. Someone in their corner who’s going to fight for them even when it’s hard, even when it’s inconvenient, even when no one’s watching.
That’s the part I love most.

If you’ve been dreaming about a trip, let’s make it real. I’d love to be your person🤍

Travel Tip Tuesday: don’t book excursions based on the photos alone. 📸

The photos show you the highlight reel. Not the full day.

Before you book, make sure you actually know what you’re signing up for:

⏱️ How long is the day? (including transit time, not just “the activity”)
💰 What’s included vs. extra? (food, drinks, gear, entry fees, tips)
🥾 What’s the physical demand? (heat, stairs, water conditions, walking distance)
👥 How big is the group? (private, small group, or full bus tour energy)
📋 What’s the cancellation policy? (especially important for weather-sensitive destinations)

The goal isn’t to overthink it — it’s to avoid that “this is not what I pictured” feeling when you’re already there. I’ll cover this in more detail over on the blog!

Feliz Cinco de Mayo! 🌮

Can we take a second to appreciate the fact that one of the most beautiful celebrations of Mexican culture, food, and art is literally inside a Disney park?

The Mexico Pavilion at EPCOT is one of my favorite hidden gems — the pyramid, the indoor plaza, the restaurant on the “water,” the mariachi music, the margaritas… it’s genuinely magical and people walk right past it.

But also — if Mexico has been calling your name beyond the parks, I would love to help you plan it. Riviera Maya, Los Cabos, Mexico City… there is so much to explore. 🌺

Tell me in the comments — Mexico Pavilion at EPCOT or actual Mexico? 🇲🇽

Happy Star Wars Day, friends. May the 4th be with you — always. 🌟

Quick question for the comments:
Light Side or Dark Side? (No judgment. Okay, maybe a little.)

And if you could book one Star Wars-style adventure, would you choose:
🎢 A theme park day (Galaxy’s Edge, obviously)
🚢 A cruise getaway
🏝️ An off-the-grid escape where literally no one can reach you

If Disney is calling your name, I’d love to help you plan it. I actually wrote a whole post about this over on the blog today — link in bio! 🔗
