Keys to the Castle by Kristian L.

09/03/2026

I’m so excited and honored to share that I’ve been invited to join the first ever cohort of Keys to the Castle Travel's Keyholder Collective! ✨🔑

The Keyholder Collective is an exclusive group within KTTC made up of select advisors who have demonstrated a commitment to going above and beyond for clients, consistently performing at a high level, and contributing to the success of the agency.

Being invited into this group is incredibly meaningful to me because it represents both recognition for what I’ve accomplished so far and an investment in what I’m capable of becoming!

I’m especially excited to collaborate with such an ambitious group of travel advisors who are committed to helping one another grow, learn, and find ways to better serve our clients. Together, we’ll continue developing as leaders, teammates, and travel advisors.

Over the next nine months, the Keyholder Collective sessions will be led by Lauren, our Disney Business Development Manager, who will help us strengthen our customer service skills and elevate the service we provide, not just for Disney vacations, but for every client and every destination we serve.

I’m so grateful for this opportunity and proud to be surrounded by advisors who share the same passion for exceptional client service.
Here’s to the next level! 🔑✨

Thank you to everyone who has trusted me to help plan your vacations. Your support has helped make opportunities like this possible, and I can’t wait to continue growing so I can serve you even better! ❤️

✨ ANNIVERSARY TRIP BOOKED! ✨

My clients are officially headed to Europe for a bucket list Viking Rhine River Getaway! 🚢🇳🇱🇩🇪🇫🇷🇨🇭

Over 8 days, they’ll sail from Amsterdam to Basel, experiencing four countries and some of the most beautiful scenery Europe has to offer during the fall.

Their itinerary includes:
🇳🇱 Amsterdam & the iconic windmills of Kinderdijk
🇩🇪 Cologne & Koblenz
🏰 Scenic sailing through the UNESCO-listed Middle Rhine, lined with castles and vineyards
🍷 Rüdesheim
🇩🇪 Speyer & Breisach
🇫🇷 Strasbourg
🇨🇭 And finally, Basel, Switzerland!

One of the things I love about river cruising is that you can see SO much without constantly packing and unpacking. Your hotel moves with you while you wake up somewhere new each day! 🥂

And did you know that Viking's river cruises include a shore excursion in every port, onboard meals, Wi-Fi, wine and beer with lunch and dinner, and more?

Dreaming of a European river cruise? Whether you're picturing the Rhine, Danube, Seine, or another adventure, I can help you find the right itinerary, ship, and cabin for your travel style. I'll also help you with flights, travel protection, airport transfers, excursions, travel tips, and more so that you can simply relax and enjoy!

Don't wait to take the trip. Message me to start planning your next adventure!

Hello, friends! 💙 How are all my clients doing? I hope you’ve had a wonderful, restful, and fun summer, and I’m wishing all of your little ones a fantastic school year ahead! 📚✨

It may have been a little quiet over here on social media, but behind the scenes, it has been a BUSY summer! I’ve been traveling, preparing clients for upcoming adventures, and helping families and couples create new vacations to look forward to- from Walt Disney World to Italy, St. Vincent & the Grenadines, Mexico, St. Lucia, Naples, FL, and so many places in between. ✈️🌴🏰🇮🇹

And now, I’m getting ready for a very special trip of my own: Disney World with my son for the very first time! 🥹🏰✨ (pic below of my first WDW trip!) I cannot wait to experience the magic through his eyes. I’ll be testing out touring strategies, experiences, restaurants, and all the little things that can make a Disney trip even more magical (and hopefully a little easier!) so I can bring those tips and firsthand experiences back to you, my clients!

As we start looking ahead to fall, winter, and spring travel, I’m so excited to continue helping you plan the trips you’ve been dreaming about and to play a small part in your family’s special moments. ❤️

Talk to you soon! ✈️✨

✨ “Do I need the Park Hopper add-on at Walt Disney World?”

This is one of the questions I get asked most often, and the answer is… it depends!

For a first visit, I often recommend skipping Park Hopper. There’s so much to see and do in each park, and you don’t want to spend your vacation rushing from park to park.

On the other hand, if you’re staying at a resort like Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort or Disney’s Beach Club Resort, Park Hopper can be a great addition since it’s so easy to pop between nearby parks.

Those are just two examples, but every family vacations differently. That’s why I take the time to get to know your travel style before making recommendations.

✨ Here’s something many people don’t realize: when you book a Walt Disney World vacation through me, you pay the same price you would booking directly through Disney. But instead of an 800 number, you have a dedicated travel advisor who knows your trip inside and out.

Most of my planning services are complimentary, and my goal is to make your vacation as seamless, stress-free, and magical as possible, while making sure you have all the insider tips before you even arrive.

Ready to start planning your Walt Disney World vacation? Send me a message! I’d love to help create a trip that’s perfectly tailored to your family. 🏰💙

I’ve never once had a client come home and say…

“I wish we’d never gone.”

Instead they tell me…

“I cried during the fireworks.”

“Our kids still talk about that parade.”

“We’re already planning the next one.”

That’s why I love what I do.

I don’t just book vacations. I help families create the moments they’ll carry forever, and that’s a responsibility I don’t take for granted. 🩷
