Disney Resort Categories

 

Staying on property during your Walt Disney World vacation is part of the magic. Finding the perfect resort can sometimes be a little daunting.

Resorts are broken down into 4 categories: Value, Moderate, Deluxe, and Deluxe Villa.

Value Resorts are very affordable, basic accommodations, decorated with bright and fun themes, and are full of families

Moderate Resorts are large, spread out resorts. They tend to be a bit more peaceful in comparison to the value resorts, and the accommodations are a bit larger in comparison.

Deluxe Resorts put you closer to the theme parks, offer multiple transportation options, and feature large, luxe accommodations.

Deluxe Villas are going to offer studio, one bedroom, two bedroom, and even 3 bedroom accommodations, with added amenities, at select Deluxe Resorts.

I’ll help you identify what options are available, within your budget, and what might fit your needs best! No matter what resort you pick, you really can’t go wrong as they all offer something special.

Why is Aruba so Popular?

 

Why is Aruba so popular? The stunning beaches is definitely the biggest reason, but Aruba has warm weather, friendly locals, diverse activities, and the island has so many great food options!

Pro Tip: You don't have to worry about bottled water on the island. The drinking water on the island is very pure and most hotels will even have water bottle refill stations for your convenience!

Disney Cruise Line's Private Islands

 

When you're looking at cruises you've got to think about:

Where do you want to go?

When do you want to go?

How many days do you want to sail for?

Where do you depart from?

and then you go into Interior, Oceanview, Balcony, or Suite (plus all the sub categories)

It can be a little overwhelming, so I want to share with you which cruise port I'm most looking forward to in 2024 (and the promise that I can make this process a lot less overwhelming with just a few easy questions!)

Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point. Disney's newest private island is going to be culture rich, colorful, and festive. It's going to feature plenty of fun for the whole family + adult only escapes. AND you'll have the option to visit Lookout Cay and Castaway Cay on select sailings.

Is a Butler Necessary for a Honeymoon?

 

"Is a Butler necessary for a honeymoon?" Well, that depends. Does any of this sound like what your dream honeymoon would include?

Breakfast in bed delivered every morning

No worries about anything at the pool or on the beach

Spa appointments, tee times, and restaurant reservations reserved for you

And Sandals Butlers really set the bar high and go above and beyond. They will help you create extra special memories and moments that wow you!

A Sandals Business Developer once told me the wildest "Sandals Butler Story" he had ever witnessed and I want to share this with you too. The husband wanted to surprise his wife with breakfast on their balcony, but couldn't figure out how to make that happen without waking his wife up as the Butler would need to walk through their sleeping area to access the balcony. The Butler got a LADDER and brought their breakfast up onto their second story balcony I hope he got a good tip. While I don't recommend expecting your Butler to risk life and limb for your dining needs, it just shows their service is unmatched!

Universal Orlando Stella Nova & Terra Luna Resorts

 

I am so excited that new resorts are coming to Universal Orlando in 2025!

Stella Nova Resort will begin welcoming guests on January 21, 2025

Inspired by distant galaxies, new stars and mysterious black holes

Terra Luna Resort will begin welcoming guests on February 25, 2025

inspired by the massive and diverse planetary elements of the universe

These two new resorts will be adjacent to the new Universal Epic Universe theme park, that will open later in 2025. Of course these resorts will offer convenient and complimentary shuttles to Universal CityWalk and Volcano Bay. You'll also get all the other benefits of on-site guests like Early Park Admission, resort-wide charging privileges, and more!

These resorts will be in the Prime Value category so they will not include complimentary Express Unlimited Passes like the Premier Resorts.

How Does the Deposit Work for a Universal Orlando Vacation?

 

If you've booked a Disney Vacation, you're probably aware that the deposit is always $200. Whether you have 1 person in the room or 6 people in the room, it's always that.

Universal Orlando does things a little differently. The deposit is $50 per person. So if it's a party of two, it only takes $100 to lock in your Universal Orlando Vacation Package!

Another difference is that final payment is due 45 days prior to travel (Disney is 30 days.)

If you want to get a reservation off the market, but aren't ready to commit to the deposit, just like with Disney I can put a Universal Orlando Vacation package on a complimentary hold for you for 3 days.

If you've been dreaming about visiting Universal Orlando, I'd love to help! Fill out the following form and I'll be in touch soon with some no obligation vacation quotes: https://forms.gle/QQQE77LhiTt7dQDWA

Best Pools at Disney World

 

If you’ve ever been to Disney World you know it can be exhausting (and if you haven’t…well now you know the secret!) One of the best ways to relax and beat the Florida heat, is to spend a day at one of your Disney resort hotel’s swimming pools! Yes, plural. Most resorts will have multiple pools ranging from quiet pools to great, big family fun-sized pools.

If you’re looking for a pool with a slide, you’ll only find this feature at the moderate, deluxe, and deluxe villa resort hotels.

If you like to be close to the pool, many resorts offer pool view or even preferred pool view rooms. This is something I can help you with!

The Big Blue Pool at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort is the largest pool on property and is themed after Finding Nemo.

Disney resort hotel pools are open year round, and are heated if the temperatures do drop!

Don’t want to pack a life preserver for your child? Disney Resort hotels have life jackets available for both adults and children.

Want to feel like you’re at a waterpark without actually going to the waterpark? Stormalong Bay is a 3 acre water wonderland shared by Disney’s Beach and Yacht Club Resorts is a great option. It features a 230 foot long waterslide, a lazy river, and 3 whirlpool spas.

These are just a few of the great options available!
