  • Lamplight Lounge – Waterview Dining at Pixar Pier

    6/17/2025 • Blog, Disneyland • If you’re craving a whimsical and relaxed sit-down dining experience at Disney California Adventure, look no further than Lamplight Lounge. Nestled just beyond the bridge to Pixar Pier, this vibrant, story-filled restaurant brings Pixar’s creative energy to life with delicious California-inspired cuisine and stunning waterfront views. At first glance, the entrance to Lamplight Lounge may seem understated—almost easy to miss. But don’t be fooled. Your reservation leads you down a dramatic spiral staircase, beneath a spectacular chandelier adorned with Pixar sketches. Before you descend, take a moment to appreciate the Pixar lamp mosaic beneath your feet and the imaginative artwork along the walls. These details set the tone for the memorable meal ahead. One of the joys of California dining is enjoying your meal al fresco, and Lamplight Lounge makes the most of it. Whether you're seated at a table or along the bar, you'll be treated to breathtaking views […]

  • Virgin Voyages Quick Tips!

    5/6/2025 • Blog, Cruises • 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 […]

  • Virgin Voyages New Circle Program

    4/9/2025 • Cruises • We all have events in our lives we would like to celebrate with those closest to us. Virgin Voyages wants to help you gather your “people” and step onboard one of their beautiful Lady Ships and celebrate a monumental birthday, anniversary, college graduation, bachelorette party, or just getting a group of friends together. For those that are familiar with the original Virgin Voyages Circles, we have exciting news for you. Virgin has enhanced this program with more flexibility and benefits when booking through a travel agent. Your Circle needs to be created at least 180 in advance of the sail date (but hurry, because it will move to 365+ days after the introductory period). The most enticing benefit is the 10% discount for the entire group and there are no minimums to the number of staterooms needed to fill a Circle. Plus, you can lock in the rate if you […]

  • Experiencing Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto

    4/1/2025 • Walt Disney World • 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 […]

  • Disney Adult: Tequila Tasting at La Cava del Tequila

    3/25/2025 • Blog, Walt Disney World • When most people think of Disney, images of Mickey Mouse, castles, and family-friendly attractions might come to mind. But Disney isn’t just for kids! For those looking to add a little more spirited adventure to their Disney experience, La Cava del Tequila in Epcot offers an incredible tequila tasting experience that’s perfect for the Disney adults looking to sip, savor, and learn.

  • Beaches Turks & Caicos Review: The Good, The Bad & What You Need to Know Before You Book

    3/14/2025 • Blog, Reviews, Sandals & Beaches • 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 […]

  • Golfing at Walt Disney World

    2/21/2025 • Blog, Walt Disney World • 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 […]
