- Favorite destination: Cinque Terre, Italy
- Favorite resort: Disneys Yacht Club | Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort.
- Favorite experience: How can you ask a travel advisor their favorite travel experience and get a straight answer? My time in Disney with my children is magical, my adults-only cruise on Virgin Voyages was amazing, but if I had to pick, it would be the two times I sailed the Mediterranean.
- Taking a Mediterranean cruise was the perfect blend of relaxation, exploration, and cultural discovery. Waking up each morning to a new breathtaking destination—whether the ancient ruins of Pompeii, the charming streets of Cinque Terre, or the vibrant energy of Barcelona—was magical. The ease of travel, with no need to pack and unpack, made it even more enjoyable. Onboard, the ships offered world-class dining and endless entertainment, while each port brought unique flavors, history, and experiences.
- Favorite season to travel: Spring (Disney) and Summer (Mediterrean)
“We followed all of your recommendations, and even kept repeating ‘trust in Shelley’ as we went along. Everything worked out great.Your itinerary in the parks was spot on so we got to enjoy everything we wanted to see. Meals were great. Most importantly I didn’t feel too stressed trying to figure it out on my own. I felt bad for some others who didn’t have help and were struggling to navigate things in the park like the virtual queue. Everyone in our family had a great time. Thanks so much!”
“Highly recommend Shelley for your Disney vacation needs! We frequent Disney World, but had never been on a Disney cruise before so I reached out to Shelley to help us plan it. We didn’t give her much to go on, just the timeframe and she was able to find the perfect cruise for us! She was responsive and so helpful with any questions or additional bookings we had (ie. transportation to/from airport.) Additionally, the tips and tricks emails that she sent were perfect to learn about all the fun things and also how to book them. It was the most magical vacation and we can’t wait to book the next one with her! Thank you so much!”
“I reached out to Shelley to plan our May 2023 Universal trip for my daughters 13th birthday. We have never been before so I didn’t know much about the details i.e where to stay, do we need reservations, fast passes…Shelley is incredibly knowledgeable about the theme parks! Based on our family’s wants/needs she gave us strong recommendations for every aspect of our vacation. Before reaching out to Shelley @ PPV, I was thinking 2 days at the theme parks would be enough for us. I am so glad Shelley planned our vaca!! She informed us of the summer promotion Universal was having which worked perfect for our itinerary! Bonus to add, Shelley saved us some $$ which was an awesome surprise! For every question I had Shelley answered without judgement!! This to me is important because not once did I feel like she was bothered. She genuinely was excited to help me learn about the theme parks as I was excited to go!”
“We could not have pulled off our trip (or at least, not nearly as successfully and with little stress) without Shelley. I didn’t really know where to start with planning to ensure we would make the most of our time, but Shelley knocked it out of the park for us. Her recommendations and suggested itineraries were spot on every time. She knows these parks backwards and forwards, which isn’t easy considering how much they’re constantly changing. Thank you, thank you, Shelley, for making our girls’ Disney dreams come true!”
