Packing / Traveling Tips Part 1 of 5 Over my next few posts, I’ll bring you some packing and traveling tips.  1.       Throw the hotel bar soap into your dirty laundry bag so it doesn’t stink up your suitcase for the rest of your trip. Don’t have any bar soap lying around? Use a dryer sheet. 2.       Wear a night moisturizer on long flights because it’s extra hydrating and you’ll have plenty of time to let it sink in and do its job (you know, like fighting wrinkles and brightening skin). 3.       Pack items like your laptop in smaller bags so you have options when you’re out and about. You don’t want to have to lug your carry-on bag with you everywhere, do you? 4.       Store your power cords in an old sunglass case. It’ll keep you from losing your mind.  5.       Ditch the blush, brightener, and lipstick in favor of an all-in-one make...

Is The Memory Maker Photo Package Worth The Price? The Memory Maker photo package offered from Disney World is a great addition to your vacation, but it does come with a price tag! The UNLIMITED digital downloads can be connected directly to your My DIsney Experience App with only the touch of your MagicBand! The cost of the Memory Maker can cause sticker shock at first, but in our opinion is well worth it! The quality of the photos is incredible! Special character moments are captured during meet and greets and are truly once in a life time moments!  Additional perks of this photo package are On-Ride photo and videos for rides like Splash Mountain (which an agency favorite). Character dining at places such as Ohana and Chef Mickey’s are included as well.  Magic Shots are a HUGE selling point for our family! Photos will have special “overlays” or photo frames that you will not even know about until later! I have the sweetest photo of my husband and I at Christmas with him “hol...

Symphony of the Seas Royal Caribbean’s newest ship is also the largest cruise ship by volume. Let’s look at the numbers: 1,188 feet long  22 restaurants 24 pools 2,759 cabins 6,680 guests, approximately 2,200-some crew members  18 decks 24 elevators 7 neighborhoods 10-story serpentine slide For entertainment, you can watch the unbelievable acrobatics and high dives at the AquaTheatre. Maybe you’d prefer to see a freshened rendition of “Hairspray” in the Royal Theatre. Royal Caribbean has left no stone untouched in the detail department. They have the “Ultimate Family Suite.” These two-level suites are dressed in bold colors and include some unique amenities. How about a slide in the room? Done. What about a private cinema? Done. Maybe a ping pong table and a LEGO wall? You got it. Now that the kids are entertained, let’s see what is in store for the parents. I think the private balcony and whirlpool will fit the bill. If you’d like to tak...

If you plan it correctly - which is our specialty - you can have a wonderful adults-only vacation!!
