Why Would I Book My Trip with a Travel Agent????

I’m a traveler-I wasn’t always one. I use to spend my vacations at home “resting”. It was so much effort and so much money and then something happened….I had a child. It seems almost backwards. I was young and carefree with no obligations and time and I never went anywhere. Fast forward and now I’m looking into the eyes of my child and it’s like it awakened me. Suddenly I wanted her to see and experience everything. I took the plunge and at 5 months old we took her on her first trip. On a plane no less. Yes I was crazy. I realized that I, we could do this.

What’s a Fast Pass?

Disney has created a fast pass system which allows guests to get into a faster ride line. Upon entering the line (que) you will notice two entrances. One entrance will read standby and one will read fast pass. If you have signed up for a fast pass you will be ushered into a line where the wait will be 10-15 minutes in general.

What Rides Should I Fast Pass?

Fast pass is system in place at Walt Disney World (WDW) Resort that allows guests to make reservations for popular rides, shows and character greetings.  One of the most common questions I get asked as a travel agent is what rides should I fast pass? This is a great question because not all rides require or need a fast pass. Since fast pass is a way to utilize your time in the park knowing which rides to fast pass can help you save time and frustration. Want to know and understand fast pass better?

Apple Picking

There are so many New Englandy things to do in the Fall. We have been so lucky to have the chance to move our family to Massachusetts and settle into a calmer way of life. I have dreamed of Fall and having a chance to share all of those crisp sweater weather activities with our daughter and this was the year! Our first Fall activity back in Massachusetts was apple picking.

Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party

Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas party (MVMCP) is a hard ticket event that happens from the first week in November through Christmas at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom. Hard ticket means this event is separate from a regular park ticket and must be ordered specifically for this event.  If you’re lucky enough to visit WDW during this time of year this is an event that’s not to be missed!

Going on an adult trip-characters are just as fun for adults and kids. It’s time to grab your camera, autograph book and pen and let’s go!
