Whether this is your first Virgin Voyage, or you’re an experienced sailor, these helpful tips will make your voyage that much smoother! Forgot to add a Bar Tab? Want to add more Bar Tab to your account? Great news! You will still be able to add Bar Tab while at the port! Before you board the ship, visit any desk with a Bar Tab sign (like below), to add Bar Tab to your voyage. Bar Tabs are great ways to pre-pay your drinks (alcoholic drinks, specialty coffees, juices, and non-alcoholic specialty drinks). Sometimes, bonus Bar Tab is offered with that purchase. Remember - Bar Tabs cannot be purchased onboard! Want to reserve a pool lounge chair? You can! But if your belongings are abandoned for more than 40 min, personal items (not belonging to VV) will be taken to Lost and Found. Any pool attendant can direct you! Forget to […]

Looking for a unique, adult-only event on your next trip to Walt Disney World? Head over to the Polynesian resort for this lively experience with little touches of grown-up Disney Magic everywhere. Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto is one of Disney’s most unique lounges with Hawaiian vibes and unique Disney storytelling. The menu offers a variety of drinks, but the real magic is the theatrical service. Order a “Nautilus,” and the bar turns into a diving experience complete with lighting changes, ominous music, and water gun attacks on all of the guests. Order a “Black Pearl” for some special effects with some fog and theming built around the storytelling of this Disney legend. Think Jungle Cruise fun in an adult atmosphere! Not a drinker, but want to enjoy the atmosphere? Trader Sam’s offers some delicious appetizers and mocktails for the guests who might want to enjoy the experience, but not the […]

After visiting Beaches Turks & Caicos All-inclusive Resort multiple times in the past few years with friends, family and as a couple, I wanted to share an honest, detailed review to help you determine if this premium all-inclusive Caribbean family resort is the right fit for your family vacation, multigenerational trip or group getaway. Since this Caribbean resort comes with a premium price tag, it’s important to understand which room category to book, what dining experiences to expect, and whether the resort’s beach and amenities justify the cost. Let’s break it down! The Good: What Makes Beaches Turks & Caicos Stand Out? 1. The Beach & Water Quality – The Ultimate Draw It’s no surprise that the biggest reason travelers choose Beaches Turks and Caicos Resort is Grace Bay Beach—consistently ranked one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. The resort sits along a prime stretch of 12 miles […]

When most people think about Walt Disney World, they think of "The Mouse", a favorite princess, a space ranger, or maybe even a silly monster comes to mind, but not many people think about playing a round of golf before a day at Magic Kingdom. Walt Disney World Golf has four courses to choose from, and if you’re not able to tote your own clubs to the "Happiest Place on Turf", you can rent some of the latest and greatest TaylorMade clubs on the market for $50 per person. As with anything Disney, everything is meticulously kept, and the service is helpful and friendly. When you check in for your round you are given a couple sleeves of new golf balls, offered range balls if you want to warm up before your round, and directed to the appropriate areas to do so. The carts are equipped with GPS technology that […]

Valet parking, private dining, skipping the WHOLE line, and more fun facts than you can imagine – these are all included when you purchase a VIP Experience at Universal Studios Hollywood. I recently experienced this tour myself, and let me tell you, it is the way to go! Most theme parks offer VIP tour options, which your Me and The Mouse Travel Specialist can help you book, but Universal Hollywood’s VIP Experience is extra special, and you should absolutely consider upgrading your tickets to include this option during your next visit. It’s no surprise that my main reason to go to Universal Hollywood was to see the brand-new Super Nintendo World, which was "toadally" awesome (toad…get it)? My son loves all things Mario and once he heard about this new land, I knew we would have to go check it out for ourselves. You have many different ticket options for […]
