It is the time of year when you will soon be starting your holiday shopping, hiding bags in your closet and packages under your bed. Toys will be scattered all over your living room and within two minutes the eagerly anticipated holiday is over, or is it? Giving the gift of travel is the gift that keeps on giving. Surprising the family with a vacation as a holiday gift under the tree either for winter break or for the upcoming 2016 year will not only give your family something to look forward to after the day is over, but once the vacation is over, they will have memories that will last a lifetime! Forget having to take that turtleneck sweater back to the store the day after, you can all spend time together planning the upcoming getaway. Skip giving presents this year and give the gift of your presence. Think about wrapping a suitcase with the printed itinerary placed inside for your favorite someone to open this holiday. For most vacations we can book with as little as $200.00 down making payments more manageable during the rest of the year. Reach out to learn more about our holiday shopping payment plans!

Getting ready for a Disney Vacation can be a very exiting time, anticipation grows more and more everyday. Disney Insiders will tell you that your housekeeping service provider changes day by day, so its best to show them how much you appreciate all their hard work by tipping daily. A good rule of thumb to follow is to tip $1 per person per night. Having this money set aside is always a good idea. 

In Disney, Housekeeping is actually called "Mousekeeping". A fun way to get the kids involved and excited about your trip is to decorate Mousekeeping Envelopes, a craft that is both fun and functional. My 8 year old daughter is so proud of how they came out this year, and is very excited to leave one out every day. Have pictures of your own fun thing to do to get ready for your trip? Post them to our Starstuff Travel Page on Facebook!
