"What's the best way to make sure I make my connecting flight to Jamaica?" ~Client Headed Out On Saturday
Check the airport map before you go! This is a great way to see if you might need to make a connection to a special international terminal or if you'll be able to just stay in one building.
Also...
🕶 Download the airline app for up to date gate info and changes.
🕶 Wear shoes built for quick walking.
🕶 Get to your next gate first before stopping for bathroom or snack breaks.

“Mama, don’t let this happen to other kids...you have to warn them!”
Warning: This will ruin your vacation fast.
I unknowingly picked up a travel sized, name-brand sunscreen at Target before our vacation, thinking it would be a great light-weight addition to my beach bag instead of my normal zinc-based sunscreen. I had no idea that there have been tons of complaints of allergic reactions and burns.
My daughter was one of at least 4 kids from 3 families with severe reactions at our resort that I knew of. All the kids happened to use the same brand of sunscreen. My son and I were in the sun less and our reactions were less severe but still very uncomfortable.
Please learn from our family’s pain and take care to avoid sunscreen that causes chemical allergic reactions in kids and adults. Check with your doctor on their advice and do your research!

My daughter specifically requested we do this video and show people what to avoid. It’s been a huge comfort to her to think that she could do something to have other kids avoid getting hurt.
Sorry the internet was cutting in and out on the video. If you have questions, leave them in the comments.
Just in case you need a hammock with a oceanview today. #becausewhynot #nosnowinmexico
Leaving on a jet plane this week? ✈️
Make sure you check your flight status as airlines are having to shift flights based on today’s grounding of all 737 Max 8&9 flights.
There are many kinds of 737 or other Bowing planes that are NOT affected.

Annnnd Disney just broke the internet.
The MUCH awaited Star Wars Land at Hollywood Studios will be opening August 29th.
What does this mean for your trip?
If you want to see it and haven't scheduled your trip, now is the time. Hotels will go fast. Fastpasses for those Star Wars ride will be nearly impossible to get without the fastpass advantage of being at an onsite Disney hotel.
Already have your trip scheduled?
Hollywood Studios will be crazy (and exciting) if you are traveling early Fall.
What about the rest of the parks?
The rest of the parks are typically fairly normal during a new release like this. It doesn't mean you will see wall to wall crowds everywhere. The crowds are usually on the park that is opening.
We just emailed all our clients who were expecting a later start date to help them adjust their plans. Need an expert to work on your trip to handle the unexpected? Contact us today about your Disney World trip.
Look what we just found at Costco! If you have an airplane, car, or train ride in your future for Spring Break, these can be a great non-screen option for ages 6-12. They also have preschool puzzles too.
✈️ do you do to keep kiddos busy in transit? ✈️
PSA: Spring break. It's coming. For all you busy families out there, make sure you have all the sandals, swimsuits, suitcases and sunscreen you need for your trip. You still have time for shipping.
You're welcome.

Before a trip, some of our clients are nervous to plan out their activities for the day. Not wanting to be over-scheduled, they don’t plan. After they come back? They wished they had planned more before their trip.

Too busy to plan? We got ya. Contact us today to take the pain out of your next trip.
