One of my favorite things to do while staying at a Disney resort…playing co****le! I know it sounds so silly but there is something so relaxing and magical about playing games at a Disney Resort that just makes me smile! They have a few different games to choose from depending which resort you choose including chess, shuffleboard, ping pong and co****le! Which one is your favorite?

WAIT…LET ME ASK MICHELE!
Sandals & Beaches Edition

“Which Sandals or Beaches resort should I choose?”

This is one of those questions I get asked all the time and honestly, there isn't one Sandals or Beaches resort that is perfect for everyone.

Are you looking for a romantic getaway with your significant other?
Do you want a beautiful beach and a quieter atmosphere?
Maybe you want lots of restaurants, pools, entertainment and things to do.
Or maybe you're traveling with the kids and want a resort that keeps everyone happy.

And then there’s the destination itself.

Jamaica?
Saint Lucia?
Turks & Caicos?
Antigua?
Bahamas?

They all have a different feel and choosing the right resort can make a BIG difference in your vacation.

That’s where I come in. I don't just send you a list of resorts and say, “Pick one!” I ask questions about what you actually want from your vacation, then help match you with the resort and destination that makes the most sense for YOU.

Because an all-inclusive vacation should feel effortless from the moment you start planning.

So if you're thinking about Sandals or Beaches and have no idea where to start…

Just ask...Michele

Wait, Let me ask Michele...

Disney Edition

“Michele, which Disney resort should we book?”

This is probably one of the questions I get asked the most, and my answer is always…

It depends! Let’s me ask you some important questions:

Are you planning to spend most of your time in the parks?
Want to relax and enjoy your resort?
Have little ones?
Want easy access to the Skyliner?
Want to be close to Magic Kingdom?
Looking for a little more luxury?
Or maybe you’re all about the restaurants and resort atmosphere?

There isn’t one Disney resort that’s perfect for everyone.

I’ve stayed at almost every Disney resort, so when I help my clients choose, I’m looking at more than just the theme and the price.

I’m thinking about how YOU want to vacation.

That’s the fun part of having a travel agent who has actually been there.

Have a Disney question you’ve always wondered about?

Just ask!

Putting together some packages for my clients who are traveling in the next few weeks! Who doesn’t love getting some magical mail!

WAIT…LET ME ASK MICHELE!

One of my favorite parts of being a travel agent isn't just booking the vacation, it's helping people feel confident about the vacation they're booking and being their travel partner from planning to homecoming!

I get questions all the time about Disney, cruises, Universal, Sandals & Beaches, so I thought…if one person is wondering, chances are someone else is too!
So I'm starting a new series where I'll answer your real travel questions and share what I've learned from my own experiences.

Sure you could ask AI. You could search Google, read reviews and spend hours trying to figure it all out. But when you're investing your time and hard-earned money into a vacation, wouldn't you rather work with someone who could say “I've actually been there. Here's what I think would work best for YOU.”

AI can give you information. I can give you experience, personal recommendations and be in your corner from start to finish.

So let's talk about travel! Have a question?
Wait… let me ask Michele!
