August was a month full of making plans both near and far!

Our most quoted location was Walt Disney World and clients requested stays at Art of Animation in almost all of our quotes (if you’ve seen the pool you can understand why).

Excited for what September holds!

Now that Aleia has a few months under her belt we thought it was a good time to re-introduce ourselves:

———————————————————————————————————
I’m Doug! I’m an event planner and travel agent who is always working on the next adventure. I have planned numerous trips to Disney destinations, Universal Studios, Disney Cruise Line, all major cruise lines, and all types of city escapes and national parks. I love to help plan memorable vacations for our clients.

I didn’t grow up taking vacations or traveling which is why I love to now! I love to visit Disney Parks, sail with Disney Cruise Line, and visit national parks and new places each year. Also, I’ve visited almost every MLB stadium, more than 40 college football stadiums, and love to help others cross off those bucket list destinations.

———————————————————————————————————
I’m Aleia a pharmacist and travel agent who loves finding unique places to visit on adventures. I love planning trips that focus on connection: friend trips, large family celebrations, experiencing history, or experiencing a city’s culture. Knowing the goal of a trip helps us personalize trips for our clients.

As an Army brat I did my fair share of traveling as a kid and it is something I still enjoy today. I’m about halfway through my list of MLB stadiums and want to plan future trips to national parks. I loved Disney as a kid and that has only grown as an adult (Disney World, Disneyland, Disney Cruise Line…international parks are next)!

———————————————————————————————————
Do you have any bucket list trips you have been dreaming of?

Menus for Food and W**e just dropped!!

There’s a whole exhibit dedicated to cheese! And a pumpkin spice c***r to try (found at the same place as the pickle milkshake).

Food and W**e starts August 27th and runs through November 21st for its 30th season!

BRB grabbing my Minnie ears and planning my attack around the World Showcase. But should I start in Canada or Mexico? Or France? Or straight for the cheese?

Discover the 2026 EPCOT Food & W**e Festival and explore what the culinary world has to offer in our Foodie Guide.
