Can anyone say “all inclusive Cancun please”?!

We had one of the best trips there.

From Evansville: $1790 average round trip airfare, resort, food and alcohol included. 6 nights. For some of my new followers this is from our little Evansville regional airport. I need to check Indianapolis and Chicago which would likely be less.

Visit Texas Universal Kids Resort & Dallas!

Universal Kids Resort in Frisco, Texas, can be a fun and affordable family getaway especially for families with younger children! Ideal for ages 10 and under but can be older.

A 3 night trip at the Universal Kids Resort with 1.5 days at the park can be approximately $1,400 for the entire family, depending on travel dates. I last quoted $1292 for 4. Adorable kids suites.

Designed especially with younger kids in mind, Universal Kids Resort brings them into the worlds of Minions, Shrek, Gabby’s Dollhouse, SpongeBob, Jurassic World, Trolls and more!

And the fun doesn’t have to stop at Universal.

Frisco is close to Dallas/Grapevine and the surrounding area, with plenty of additional family activities roughly 20-30 minutes away, including:

• Great Wolf Lodge
• LEGOLAND Discovery Center
• Dallas World Aquarium
• Dallas Zoo
• Galleria Dallas & other shopping
* Historic Trolley and Bus Tour
(can or cannot include Dealey
Plaza)
* During Season - see a Dallas
Cowboy’s game at AT&T
Stadium!

Budget friendly hotel option:
Hampton Inn & Suites Dallas Richardson
* 15-20 miles from Frisco
* Free breakfast and pool
* Rated 9.0 Excellent
* Average $65 a night

Caribbean Beach Resort is a great moderate Disney resort option! It’s on the Skyliner and is home to the delicious and highly reviewed Sebastian’s Bistro.

My clients checked in yesterday and shared these photos with me. ❤️

Select rooms at Caribbean Beach can sleep a family of five and include a child size pull down bed.

When I quoted a trip last week, Caribbean Beach Resort was actually priced a tad lower than Port Orleans Riverside, making the Skyliner access an especially nice bonus!

PM me for a quote! Families are already booking their 2027 Disney vacations for spring break, summer and fall break and dates are currently available to book through October 31, 2027. ✨

My client sent pics of her room at All Star Music. The room is more spacious than people might think. They do not have the Murphy Bed pulled down. Plenty of room also in the bathroom and adorable theming above the bed. Outside movie night is also pictured.

Let’s talk about Disney’s All Star Music Resort! 🎶

This was our first family Disney resort stay in 2007, and even though we’ve stayed at several different resort levels since then, my adult kids still remember this one as a favorite. They loved the pools , especially the guitar shaped pool and made friends they played with throughout the trip.

The All Stars sometimes get a bad rap for smaller rooms, thin walls or large sports and cheer groups. I’ve booked clients here and haven’t had a complaint yet.

And look at that price! 👀 Depending on your dates and available discounts, a Disney Value Resort can cost less than many ordinary hotels while still giving you Disney Resort benefits. Note: A Disney Visa is not needed for many special offers.

✨ Complimentary resort parking
✨ Disney transportation to the parks
✨ Early Theme Park Entry
✨ Lightning Lane booking 7 days in advance
✨ Dining reservations for your entire stay beginning 60 days before check-in
✨ Vacation packages you can pay on over time, interest free.

You don’t have to stay Deluxe or spend a fortune to have a great Disney vacation. An All Star can be a really affordable way to stay right in the Disney bubble. ❤️

Below is a resort rate I quoted for a client for January 3-7th, 2027.

If you’re interested in seeing what a Disney vacation could look like for your family, let me know! I’d be happy to check dates and pricing for you. 😃

Sharing with my client’s permission. 💕

She and her daughter are currently enjoying a quick 4 day, 3 night mother and daughter getaway at Disney World and staying at All-Star Music.

They’re Florida locals, but between busy schedules and school, it had been a while since they’d made it to Disney. In fact, her daughter was so little on their last visit she doesn’t really remember it.

They’ve had beautiful weather and are having such a wonderful time!
