You Need a Travel Consultant Now More than Ever!

I know that people sometimes think that they can book all their vacations themselves using the internet.  When I meet new people and tell them what I do, I have been asked more than once “travel agents still exist?”  The answer is of course YES!  And it’s honestly more important than ever to use a travel professional to help you with your vacation planning.  Although there may be instances where you can book a trip yourself, if you’re planning to travel somewhere new, or even somewhere you haven’t been before, it’s best to leave the details to the experts.

An All-Inclusive Resort is the Perfect Vacation for Mom!

You are probably beginning to think about your summer vacation.  The kids will be out of school, the weather will be perfect, but where should you go?  Many people head to the beach for summer vacation, maybe renting a house or a condo.  But this year especially, you may want to consider an all-inclusive vacation.  This could be the perfect vacation for everyone in the family, especially mom! This year with COVID has been tough on everyone, but it has been especially tough on moms.  If mom works full-time, she still has to get her job done, probably from home [...]

The Magic of Walt Disney World at the Holidays

Our family spent the holidays this year in our favorite place-Walt Disney World!  Normally this is one of the busiest times of the year, but with the COVID policies in effect, we were able to enjoy each of the parks.  Here are a few tips and my experiences to take for your next Disney vacation. The first thing you need to do after making your resort reservation or purchasing your tickets is to make park reservations.  You do still need a park reservation for each day you plan to visit.  Your Wishes & Dreams Travel consultant can give you instructions [...]

Why it’s Even More Important to Book Your Next Vacation with a Travel Professional

The travel industry is beginning to pick up just a bit.  I honestly think we are all just tired of staying at home and want to get out and explore!  But if you are thinking about planning a vacation for your family, I wanted to share some reasons why you really should consider using a travel professional to take care of those planning details for you. Some people do love to research and take care of the details of their own trip, and that’s great.  But in the post-COVID world (if we ever get there!), there are so many [...]

Healthy Sail Panel Recommendations for Cruising Again

Cruising has been hit harder by COVID-19 than any other part of the tourism industry. Between cruise lines voluntary suspensions of sailing, CDC no-sail orders, and CLIA (Cruise Lines International Association) voluntary sailing suspensions, a large cruise ship has not sailed from the United States in over 6 months. While ALL of the cruise lines are anxious to get back to sailing, they all want to make sure that it is done safely, keeping in mind the health of both passengers and crew. Last spring, I was listening to a webinar featuring Richard Fain, Chairman and CEO of Royal [...]

Where Can You Go in the Caribbean Now?

If you’re looking for a luxury all-inclusive vacation, then you’re in luck!  Resorts are beginning to open up again.  And these resorts are keeping their guests’ health and safety as their top priority. Some of my favorite all-inclusive resorts are Sandals and Beaches resorts.  I love these resorts for many reasons, but mainly because almost everything is included in your price.  This may include things like golf and scuba diving (for certified divers), wi-fi and transfers to and from the resorts.  Sandals and Beaches resorts are also located on some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, and [...]

Visiting Walt Disney World During COVID

You probably know that Walt Disney World opened up again last month, after being closed for four months.  If you’ve wondered what’s happening there since they reopened, my family visited last month.  We took our twin girls on a surprise trip before they left for college, and we had a wonderful time! New COVID policies: Masks must be worn by all kids 2 and over. You must wear your mask at all times inside the parks, except when you are eating or drinking while staying stationary.  You cannot walk around the parks with your mask off drinking or eating.  Cast [...]

Is Now the Perfect Time to Go to Walt Disney World?

As you may know, Walt Disney World opened up to guests again recently.  Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom opened on July 11, and Epcot and Hollywood Studios opened on July 15.  There are new policies and procedures in place to keep guests safe, including masks worn by all guests, social distancing in the attraction queues, mobile ordering at restaurants, and more.  Disney is also requiring a reservation to get into the parks each day, which drastically reduces the number of guests at the parks.  Because of this, the crowds at all four Walt Disney World parks are at record [...]

Travel in the COVID-19 World

Even though we may be feeling like we have been stuck inside our homes FOREVER, know that we will travel again.  We are beginning to see things open up now.  Universal Studios will be reopening in just under two weeks, and Jamaica is accepting tourists again in early June.  You may already be planning your next vacation.  I know that I am ready for a vacation! We know that we will travel again, but what will that travel look like?  Where will you be able to go, how will you get there, and what will you have to do [...]
