Welcome Home, Carlson Family! The Carlsons just returned from a few nights at Animal Kingdom Lodge, followed by a week cruising the Disney Treasure!

“Donna set us up for success every step of the way. She was incredibly responsive, even on vacation, to every question we had and understood our needs enough to make sure we had a great vacation.”

“While we were on our trip, we realized that this was the longest vacation we've taken since our honeymoon, and your work putting it together made it just about as special.”

There is truly nothing that makes me happier as a travel advisor than hearing that my clients had the vacation they were dreaming about. 🥰

Maybe you saw photos of the viral Disney Believe booth at D23. But did you see the update?

It has models of the Moana centerpiece statue for the Grand Hall and models of Buzz and Woody for the stern art! How cool is that!

I “believe” we will have more info on the Maiden voyage and inaugural season soon. Stay tuned!

If you’re ready to cruise on the Believe drop me an emoji —🧚🌺🐽🌊🚢🖍️✨ — you choose!

These 2 brought the house down last night at D23. Possibly the biggest news to come out of the event!

🌈 Dreamfinder & Figment are returning to Journey into Imagination in Epcot with a “re-imagined” ride.

🏔️ Expedition Everest’s Yeti will come back to life and move once more after almost 20 years!

Sure, I’m excited about the new stuff coming to the parks, but these two are already part of my memories and I can’t wait for them to be back!

The newest class of ship in the Disney fleet will be sized between the original Magic and her big sister, the Dream.
The smaller ship is intentionally smaller to take us to new and exciting ports.

Your Empty Nest Is Not the End—It’s Your Next Great Adventure!

The kids are grown. The house is quieter. And suddenly, you realize something…

It’s your turn.

Your empty nest isn't something to mourn—it’s an opportunity to rediscover who you are outside of being Mom or Dad. For years, you've planned vacations around school schedules, sports, activities, and what the kids wanted to do. But now?

This is your chapter to travel differently. Take the trip you’ve always talked about. Celebrate your freedom. Reconnect with your spouse or travel with friends. Say YES to the destination that’s been sitting on your bucket list for years.

The kids have their memories. Now it’s time to make yours.

So many possibilities. Drop your dream destination in the comments!

Hi Ho Vacations

(Yes, all of these are really my own photos. Embrace your empty nest.)

Great news! One less thing to worry about if you're planning European travel this fall into next year.
ETIAS has been delayed indefinitely.

Europe’s long-delayed ETIAS travel permit has been pushed back yet again, leaving travellers in limbo over when they’ll need to apply – and pay. View on euronews
