  • Universal’s Aventura Hotel

    12/27/2022 • Blog, Reviews, Universal Studios • Universal’s Aventura Hotel is one of Universal’s newer hotel options. It’s located between Universal’s Cabana Bay Beach Resort and Loews Sapphire Falls Resort. It’s also within walking distance to Volcano Bay and offers views of all 3 Universal Orlando theme parks. Aventura is definitely a resort to consider when visiting Universal Orlando. Aventura is a smaller, modern resort with a lot to offer. Not only does it have standard rooms, deluxe rooms, and kids suites, but you can also upgrade to a Skyline View for breathtaking views from the highest floors of the tower building. With the upgraded view, you’ll be sure to see all of the parks from your window. It makes you feel more part of the excitement of being in the middle of it all! The food and drink offerings at Aventura are like none other. At the Urban Pantry food hall in the main lobby, you’ll […]

  • Why Choosing a Sandals or Beaches All-Inclusive Resort Just Makes Financial Sense!

    12/20/2022 • Blog, Reviews, Sandals & Beaches • My husband and I absolutely love Sandals All-Inclusive Resorts. I know, no surprise there. From the beaches and relaxing nature of the resort to the incredible food and lavish excursions, what’s not to love?! But one of our favorite “why’s” of why we love Sandals is from the financial aspect of the resorts. Our love affair with Sandals and Beaches All-Inclusive Resorts began in 2016 when we honeymooned in Grenada in the Caribbean. We actually fell into it at the recommendation of a friend because I was quite exhausted from planning our destination mountain wedding during the previous year and a half. Nothing sounded better than an all-inclusive where I didn’t have to plan a thing except what spa experience to get! Now, if you’ve ever checked out a Sandals vacation, you know that the initial price can seem like a lot. But what I have found is by the […]

  • The Royal Caribbean Cruise Line

    12/6/2022 • Cruises, Reviews • Are you an adventurer looking for endless thrills? Are you foodie hoping to expand your culinary experiences? Maybe you are just a little stressed from the constant full schedules on a daily basis. Whatever your reasons, Royal Caribbean Cruise Line could be just what you’ve been looking for! With 20+ ships in the fleet and 7 different classes this cruise line could surely have the perfect itinerary for you. My family’s awesome adventure took us on an 8-night Eastern Caribbean cruise with stops in Puerto Rico, St. Kitts, & St Maarten. Each Caribbean or Bahamian itinerary also includes a stop at one of Royal Caribbean’s private islands, either Labadee Haiti or Perfect Day at Cococay. Each private destination allows you to chill on beautiful beaches. Thrill yourself on things like ziplines, waterslides, or unwind like you mean it at swim-up bars or overwater cabanas. Even though Caribbean is in their […]

  • Enjoying Butterbeer at Universal Studios Orlando – The Ultimate Guide

    11/8/2022 • Blog, Reviews, Universal Studios • A trip to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando Resort wouldn't be complete without enjoying a  Butterbeer. A perfect day at Universal Studios Florida starts with a visit to Diagon Alley and a Butterbeer.  We like to start our day with a ride on Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts when wait times are low due to our early access to the parks as a resort guest. Enjoying a Butterbeer at Universal is just one of the many ways to feel immersed in this magical world. Butterbeer comes in six delicious forms of tasty treats! Which version should you try? Each treat offers something unique, so the Me and The Mouse Team is here to give you a full breakdown of Butterbeer at Universal Studios and where to find it in the Wizarding World. COLD BUTTERBEER The traditional cold drink (secret recipe) is often described as a cream soda with butterscotch and shortbread flavors. It’s a sweet […]

  • Sandals All-Inclusive South Coast Resort in Jamaica-Review

    8/2/2022 • Reviews, Sandals & Beaches • Let me start this by saying that if luxury accommodations, distinctive cuisine, and exemplary services perched next to the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea sound like your dream vacation then read on.  My husband and I selected Sandals All-Inclusive South Coast Resort in Jamaica for an anniversary trip and now it is one of my all-time favorite destinations! It’s nestled in a 500-acre nature preserve and boasts beautiful European elegance throughout. The property itself is abounding with lush vegetation and wildlife, including hummingbirds and peacocks, which freely roam the grounds. When you first arrive, your bags are whisked off to your room while you enjoy a signature resort cocktail and a tour of the beautiful grounds that are to be your home for the next several days. On the tour, I was reminded that one of my favorite things about Sandals is that they cater to everyone’s desires on […]

  • Universal Orlando: Vivo Italian Kitchen – Review

    6/21/2022 • Reviews, Tips, Universal Studios • When choosing table service restaurants for your next Universal Orlando vacation, look no further than Vivo Italian Kitchen. Located in Citywalk, you don't need park tickets to enjoy this delicious meal. Vivo has a modern look, with ample seating and an open kitchen. Everything that came out of the kitchen looked and smelled absolutely amazing, making us want to go back for another meal the next day. Each meal begins with a homemade loaf of Italian bread. Olive oil is provided at the table for dipping. Although all of the appetizers were tempting, we decided on the fried ricotta. The creamy rosemary and lemon ricotta was breaded and fried and served on a bed of homemade tomato sauce. It was so delicious we used the rest of the bread to mop up the tomato sauce. Entrees were an even more difficult decision. I was stuck between the lasagna made with […]

  • Sandals All-Inclusive Resorts: Emerald Bay vs. Royal Bahamian

    4/22/2022 • Blog, Reviews, Sandals & Beaches • You’ve narrowed down your trip to the Bahamas, but you can’t pick which resort will be right for you. Let your Certified Sandals Specialist help guide the way! My husband and I just returned from an amazing trip to both the Bahamian resorts, so we were able to experience the best of both worlds. One thing I love about the Sandals brand is that each resort is unique from the next, so there is something great to discover at each one. I can say with firsthand experience that even those on the same islands have vastly different characteristics compared to its counterpart down the road. On this trip, we started at the newly reimagined Royal Bahamian in Nassau and the renovations were stunning! There were tons of new swim-up suites, the centrally located Coconut Grove with food trucks, and an amazing off-shore island. The main part of the resort has […]

Clients say:

  • Beth, we cannot thank you enough for helping us plan and execute our first Disney trip! You were a true blessing!! Beth was easily and consistently available via email and phone from the very first reach out I made. I had contacted a few others and from the first moment I knew no one else was comparing to Beth's attention to detail and customer service. Beth thought of everything- and helped answer all of my questions to ensure every possible angle was covered. Which was huge since it is a bit overwhelming to plan the first time! She not only got on the phone with me several times to explain Genie Plus, shuttle options, flight tips and food choices for example. In addition to talking to me about this over email AND phone, we also received the most robust, helpful and FUN packet in the mail that I used the […]

  • Thank you, Beth Rogers! She is our "go to" agent at Me and The Mouse for Disney World! We just got back from another fabulous stay! Beth listened to our goals for the trip and recommended the best places to stay, helping us decide between them and then got us the best price. We stayed at the Caribbean Beach resort so we could walk onto the Disney skyline transportation system, making travel a snap to some of the Disney parks. Plus, our young granddaughters loved the highflying travel! Beth made all our meal arrangements ahead of time for each day and at the highest demand restaurants in each park we visited. The atmosphere and the food were everything you would expect from the best Disney has to offer! Disney is THE place for food and fun! Thanks, Beth, for making it easy for us to see, do and taste it […]

  • I've used Amy a few times for my Disney planning, and every time she goes above and beyond! This last time was a 20-year reunion for my friends and I who did the Disney college program together, and she made it so easy and effortless! Between getting the best price for a hotel, grabbing tickets for shows for us, and giving the BEST advice for what to do and when to do it, this trip was absolutely amazing!! I will continue to use her as long as I can!! 100% amazing service!

  • This is the second trip we have booked with Jen Morrison (the first was Sandals Jamaica) and it was AMAZING! Jen did a wonderful job helping us with every step of our Disney Vacation! We boarded the Galactic Starcruiser for an adventure in space and it was FANTASTIC! After, we went to each park! Jen went above and beyond to help us with all of our reservations, dining, and transportation. She made our trip seamless allowing us to have an amazing time! We will absolutely use her again for our next travel adventure!

  • Thank you Monica for making our December holiday so memorable and special.
