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 […]

For new clients, I hope the second half of the tag will stand out enough that if you’re thinking of going away, you’ll think to call me so I can help you “please,

Simple truth: I love to help families build memories. It’s why I work in travel. I listened to a speech by Simon Sinek at the “Power of Vision 2000” conference in Montreal yesterday. Simon talked about how people do not buy “what” individuals/ companies do so much as buying “why” you do it. It made me think about how

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
