Earlier this week, I wrote a post about Disney being able to handle food allergies right, and take away the cares of parents who have to contend with allergies. Having specialized in Disney vacations for years, my clients’ concerns have ranged from lactose intolerance to severe milk allergies (yes, it exists) to gluten to kiwi to […]

I often will recommend to my clients that they stay at a Disney monorail hotel. The benefits of the location just can’t be beat. This past September (trip #18) we again chose a WDW monorail hotel, and stayed at the Polynesian hotel. And we splurged and upgraded to the concierge category. Was the pampering worth

As a foodie in training, I love Artisan bread. My friends at C’est Bon Cooking tell me that Artisan means the Art Is In the bread. And this newbie foodie loved her visit to the CuisinArt Resort in Anguilla in June. To me, CuisinArt means the Art is in the Cuisine. The CuisinArt Resort is owned by Leandro Rizzuto of the Conair Corporation and

Disney’s Vero Beach resort offers the Disney brand name and quality at a beachside resort along the Florida Atlantic coast. There are lots of vacation club villas (studios, and 1 or 2 bedroom set ups) as well as standalone cottages (including 3 bedroom beach cottages) that can accommodate most family sizes.

For example: my daughters and husband LOVE the Contemporary – they love being able to walk to Magic Kingdom

I had a busy week this week. Part of the fun included attending a training session for Beaches and Sandals resorts. I’m now a “Certified Sandals Specialist” – or a CSS. There are 3 distinct brands within the “Sandals Umbrella” – there are Beaches, Sandals, and Grand Pineapple resorts. I book a lot of families

The Grand Floridian is by far my favorite hotel at Walt Disney World (WDW). If you’re looking for Victorian-style elegance, white and pastel shades, carefully manicured lawns, and wonderful restaurants, then the Grand Floridian (GF) is for you. My family has stayed there 4 times, the last visit being October 2009. We headed down to WDW for what was

In June, I travelled on a fam (a travel agent familiarization trip) to the island of Anguilla, and stayed in the new Viceroy hotel. It was a real treat. This is the first Caribbean hotel built by the LA-based Viceroy Hotel group, apparently with different styling from their other hotels. (There is definitely not a California-feel here.) As it

[tweetmeme] If you’ve decided you’re going to Disney, and it’s your first time; you’re going to get a lot of advice. I tell my clients that announcing you’re going to Disney for the first time is a little like announcing you’re expecting your first child. Those already in the “parent club” will congratuate you, smile,
