Traveling with teens changes the game.

They’re old enough to have opinions, young enough to still surprise you, and absolutely capable of telling you when they’re bored 😂

I’ve found the sweet spot is giving teens some ownership without handing them the entire itinerary.

Let them choose an experience. Build in things they’ll actually be excited about. And don’t underestimate the power of doing something a little ridiculous together.

Because the goal isn’t just getting them to come along.

It’s giving them a trip they’ll actually remember.

What’s the one thing your teen would insist on adding to the itinerary?

These travel mistakes are way more common than you think.

Most travel mistakes aren’t about choosing the wrong destination.

They’re about poor planning—trying to do too much, booking too late, or overlooking the little details that make a big difference.

The good news? Most of them are completely avoidable 😉

Oogie Boogie Bash is one of those Disney events where I think a little strategy goes a LONG way 🎃

If you’re already planning a Disneyland trip for Halloween, I’d consider adding it, but I wouldn’t just buy the ticket and wing it.

You only have five hours, and there’s more to do than you’ll realistically fit in. Knowing what to prioritize before you arrive makes the whole night better.

There are still 6 dates with tickets available, so if this has been on your Halloween wish list, now’s the time to look at adding it to your trip.

Save this, send it to your Disney friend, and DM me “OBB” if you want me to help plan your Disneyland Halloween trip (even if it’s for 2027 because we can get started on that, too!)

In case you were wondering, my booked clients get my full Oogie Boogie Bash guide 😉

Okay, technically… this counts.

I know I said you’d never see a merch haul from me…
But edible merch is different 😂

Give me something I can eat over something I have to find room for in my suitcase every time.

Send this to your “skip the merch, get the snacks” friend 😆
