Travel With Donna

Where "in the world" am I right now?

I have helped THREE more families plan 2025 Alaska cruise vacations this week.

It's not too late for 2025, or too early for 2026.

Let's get you to this BEAUTIFUL place soon.

Take the trip. Make the memories.

No big deal, just best in vehicle. 😆

What's YOUR top score?

Jamie McCarthy, don't be jealous, I'll teach you my skills!

I love this package SO much!

NEW at Sandals and Beaches resorts, we can add on the "Perfect Babymoon" package for all Moms-to-be!

As always, contact me for more information.

Any idea "Where in the World" we're staying tonight?

Did you know that today is ?

This picture is from one of my all-time FAVORITE shore excursions in Skagway, Alaska.

We can't wait to visit with more sled dog puppies this time next year!

Show me YOUR cute dog photos in the comments. 😍😍😍

Today's offer is from me, to all of you. 🤩

There’s a world of exciting shores and tropical treks waiting to be discovered this
fall and winter.

Whether you're maxing out the sunny season or hitting your bucket lists during the holidays, I'm going to put an extra $25 on your onboard account for all 2024 Caribbean sailings booked from today through September 6th. 💵🛳

From Universal Orlando Resort:

BREAKING! Stay at a theme park! Universal Helios Grand Hotel, a Loews Hotel, will be a majestic gateway to Universal Epic Universe at Universal Orlando Resort. Opening in 2025.

I mean, this propety is beyond stunning. I'm SUPER excited about Epic Universe coming next year, and this hotel being IN the theme park is next level cool.

Now, now, now, Universal and Disney.

Play nice! 😆😆😆

It NEVER fails than when one releases some type of information, the other is hot to respond.

More details tomorrow on the absolutely STUNNING Universal Helios Grand Hotel. 😍

Today, I am drooling while looking at properties in Milos, Greece, for a client.

I only have one question:

Can I come, too?!

From award-winning entertainment to dining on Michelin starred chef-curated menus — score Lock It In Insider rates for as low as $169 per Sailor, per night, OR upgrade your experience to a Sea Terrace (with your own hammock!) from $223 per Sailor, per night on select voyages.

Whether it’s a quick Caribbean Weekender to Mexico, Key West, and the Bahamas, an incredible European getaway or a spectacular Mediterranean one-way from Barcelona or Athens, these exclusive rates feature over $1,000 of Always Included Luxuries.

But they won’t last long. Book now before they sail away on Aug 23rd!

When at a character buffet, one simply can not pick just ONE dessert. 😆

Where "in the world' are we melting today?

Today was a crazy day, but I couldn't let it end without giving a shoutout on National Rollercoaster Day!

Here's a fun picture snapped of my little man and one of our dear friends on Phoenix Rising, the newest coaster at Busch Gardens Tampa.

What's YOUR favorite coaster?

Bonus points for including a picture!

Did you know that almost ALL vacation destinations offer some sort of monetary incentive to book while traveling?

From cruise lines to Disney Destinations to Sandals and Beaches resorts, there is almost always a deal to be had for booking your next vacation (or in the case of cruise lines, purchasing a deposit certificate) while enjoying your current vacation.

Questions? Please ask me for details before you depart!

Sometimes my clients ask me to tell them when a good deal is going on.

HERE is one!

If you're looking to travel to a Sandals (or Beaches) resort in Jamaica, PLEASE reach out so that I can quote you during this promotion for great prices and additional savings on tours and included air packages.

Kids today in both Orange and Oscela Counties started back to school.

I started a new certification for a vendor I'd like to partner with in the future.

And boy, oh boy, do I feel a little bit like poor Billy right now!

One of the smaller announcements that came out of the Horizon Panel at D23 last night:

Tiana's Bayou Adventure has an opening date in Disneyland.

Oh, and we'll be there that day. 🤣

I stayed up WAY too late last night watching this unfold in real time.

To say I am excited would be an understatement.

Monsters Inc Land and the cars expansions, plus a nighttime parade EIGHT PLUS YEARS after we lost our last one, have me absolutely giddy.

What are YOU most excited to see?

Now that the Olympic games are coming to a close, I thought I'd use some humor to remind you that this is my job.

And I'm pretty darn good at it!

I've been a travel advsior since 2012. This is not my "side hustle".

Please remember me when you're ready to plan your next vacation. [email protected]

Well, I'm quite pleased with myself. 😆

This port is GORGEOUS, and we should plan your next cruise with a stop there.

Our kiddo's one and only ride "into the movies".

Once they announced the (quick) closure of Great Movie Ride, we knew we had to take our then 10-month-old.

He still asks about it, and if Disney will ever bring it back.

Man, kid, I wish!

You all know I LOVE Alaska.

And I hope you know that I'm also a Travel Alaska Certified Expert.

Well, I am now also an Alaska Railroad Travel Expert, too.

Let's add on rail travel before or after your Alaska Cruise. You will NOT regret it!

I am FREAKING OUT.

Why?

Because I just booked Lightning McQueen for our roundtrip transfers from LAX to Disneyland in November.

Would you, too, like to be transported in style for your next Disneyland adventure?

This picture popped up on my Facebook memories from 17 years ago.

Even so many years later, I still have the BEST memories of this time with other college students from within the PASSHE system.

I've said it 1,000 times, and I'll say it another 1,000:

Take the trip. Make the memories.

It's been raining here for most of the day and I have only one thing left to say...

In case you hadn't heard (because Disney has only made 27 announcements regarding this ship over the last week), we can soon book the Disney Destiny!
