I had heard and seen little bits and pieces of information regarding the Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom but had never looked into it further because it wasn’t something that was particularly interesting to me. That all changed when my 7 and 9 year old sons became very interested in various card collecting and trading card game endeavors. For our upcoming trip, my husband suggested we looked into the Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom “game” so I began doing my research. Read more

Travel, Social Distancing, and Where We Go From Here
I think at this point, all of us, no matter where we live or what we do, have been impacted by COVID-19, and it’s pretty evident that we will be for a while in some fashion – although for how long and in what way is still unknown. Whether you are working from home, newly home-schooling your children, whether you or someone you love is a healthcare provider or first responder, whether you own a small business, or are an hourly wage earner, whether you have elderly loved ones or someone who is “at risk” or a high school/college graduate who is missing one of the most important times of their life…..all of us in some way are affected by the current situation.
And of course, those of us in the travel industry are no different. In fact, as some of the earliest news related to this novel corona virus came out, we were among the first to be affected as travel agents everywhere spent endless days handling the wave of changes and cancellations related to international, cruise, and domestic theme park travel, working to advise and help our clients and find the best possible outcomes for them.

Exploring Disney: Dumbo the Flying Elephant
I rode this Magic Kingdom classic for the first time just a few years ago. Not sure why I never rode it before, but on this particular trip we had our 5 year old granddaughter with us who was very excited to ride Dumbo, and as we both found out, it was a lot of fun! Read more
The New – and Stunning – Gran Destino Tower at Walt Disney World
Walt Disney World recently completed a major expansion of Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort, with the addition of the Gran Destino Tower – and after touring it last month, I can tell you that it is jaw-droppingly gorgeous! Inspired by the adventurous spirit of great Spanish explorers and historic innovative Spanish artists, writers and architects, Gran Destino Tower is now the main entrance for Coronado Springs and added 545 new guest rooms (including 50 suites!) to the 1,800-plus existing rooms at this resort.
