Hello Lovely Leaders,
As part of the process of becoming a travel agent, I need to take classes from each travel supplier.
Since one of my niches is Disney, I started with them, and Im excited to announce that I just completed their College of Knowledge. I am now officially able to book all Disney Destinations through their Disney Travel Agent site 😍
The first time I visited WDW was in 2022. I was at a Family Reunion, and only went to Animal Kingdom & Epcot, plus Disney Springs. Two parks that I heard a lot about, that really didn’t have an equal in California.
I kinda went under duress, and didn’t do any reasearch and boy, did I miss out on a lot of things...
At Animal Kingdom, I completely missed the Tree of Life. I look back now and can't see how I did
I was with a group and was rushed around AK, and didn't really see much, even though we rope-dropped {didnt know that was a thing}, to go on Flight of Passage. We left early, because "not much to see"
It was my first time in Florida, and it was the middle of July, and I now know, but what the hell was up with the heavens opening up around 2 in the afternoon, and then suddenly stopping about two hours later??
At Epcot, we went in the afternoon to make our queue time at Guardians of the Galaxy. Was soaked, because of the aforementioned rain, and went into a fully air-conditioned building dripping wet.
The Food & Wine was going on, so that was cool. Got the tip to buy a festival gift card to wear, so I didn't have to reach for my cc at every booth. I also had fun doing all the Kidcot activities, and checking out all the Pavillions
What I know now is
1. You need the app
2. You should have a magic band
3. A photopass/memory maker is so worth it!
4. Epcot has four festivals
5. Where the Tree of Life is
6. How cool Animal Kingdom is
7. I should have taken more pics
8. That Pandora in Animal Kingdom is really cool at night
9. I like all the different shows
10. Single Rider lines!
I learned there's quite a bit of a learning curve when it comes to Walt Disney World
Stay ☀️

Hello my lovely readers,
On January 7th, I left my home state, the onky one I have lived in to move across the United States. I drove from the West Coast of California to the West Coast of Florida to start my life reset.
I drove over 2600 miles, from Orange County, California to Charlotte County, Florida, traveling eastbound on the 10, then south on the 75 {yes, I used the, and I always will}
I traveled through eight states, six of them for the first time. The first four states were with my son, the last four by myself. Actually, not completely by myself. My little dude, Dio was my constant companion, although he started getting bored about 1300 miles in.
Some highlights from the first four states
Dio was energetic, and bouncing around the first two days. On day three onward he was done. He would just lay on the seat and every hour or so he would get up, look around, put his nose out the window, then lay down again when he realized none of it was familiar
