Erin van Staveren - Travel Professional

Planning a family trip involves more than just picking dates and booking flights. When multiple generations are traveling together, the details really matter.

From choosing the right destination and accommodations to making sure the pace of the trip works for everyone, having a thoughtful plan can make all the difference in how the vacation feels once you’re there.

That’s what I help families with — creating trips that allow everyone to enjoy time together without the stress of trying to manage it all alone.

If you’ve been thinking about traveling as a family in the next year or two, I’m always happy to start the conversation and help you explore what might work best.

Walt Disney World released new summer 2026 offers yesterday, and what stood out to me most is how much more flexible they make a Disney vacation feel for families.

For many families (especially those traveling with grandparents or multi generational groups) the idea of nonstop park days can feel overwhelming. These new options make it easier to plan a trip that includes downtime, resort time, and moments to recharge, not just rushing from ride to ride.

There are a few different offers available right now, and which one makes the most sense really depends on when you want to travel, where you want to stay, and who’s coming along. That’s why I always recommend looking at the full picture instead of trying to sort through the details alone.

If summer 2026 Disney is even a possibility for your family, this is a great time to start the conversation. I’m happy to help you explore the options and figure out what would work best for your family’s travel style.

As this year comes to a close, I just want to say thank you.

Thank you for following along, asking questions, sharing posts, sending referrals, and trusting me with your travel plans. I don’t take any of it lightly.

Travel looks different for everyone. Some trips are big and bold. Some are quiet and meaningful. All of them matter.

Before we turn the page, I’m curious:
What’s one place you’re hoping to travel next year? ✈️🌍

Time is flying as we head into the final days of the year…

As we wrap up 2025, I wanted to share a quick scheduling update. My availability is limited over the next couple of weeks, but I do still have a few appointment spots open.

These are perfect if you’re:
• Planning last-minute travel
• Gifting a future vacation
• Starting to think ahead to trips in 2025 or 2026

If travel has been on your mind and you’ve been meaning to reach out, now is a great time to schedule a call. Once these remaining spots are filled, I’ll be booking into the new year.

📩 Message me or book through my calendar if you’d like one of the remaining spots.

It’s kind of wild that if you order something from Amazon today, there’s no guarantee it’ll arrive by Christmas…

But you can still gift travel. 🎄

A future cruise, a Disney trip, a Universal adventure, or a warm Caribbean escape doesn’t need wrapping paper. It's just something exciting to look forward to.

Travel is the gift that keeps giving. It creates memories, shared experiences, and moments that last far longer than most things in a box.

Sometimes the best gifts don’t come under the tree, they come after.

Sitting here today, glass if wine in hand, after grocery shopping at 3 stores, running errands, and a quick stop at Target for new reading glasses and a shower curtain liner, squeezing in a pedicure rhis afternoon… I had one of those quiet moments of perspective.

This morning started like most mornings. I was up at 4:45 a.m. making dining reservations and handling details so my clients could get exactly what they were hoping for. And this afternoon, I answered emails and helped with some last-minute trip details.

A few years ago, my days looked very different. A little more hurried. A little more hectic.

I was still working hard, but I didn’t yet have the clarity or confidence I have now. I didn’t know how much travel would shape my life or turn into something I genuinely love doing.

It took learning, growing, investing in myself, and showing up. (even on the ordinary days)

Today, my work fits into real life. It’s early mornings, everyday errands, and quiet moments in between, all while helping families travel better.

It’s not always glamorous, but it’s fulfilling. And today, I’m grateful for the journey and where I am now.

As a small business owner, reviews truly mean everything to me.

Every review represents a real trip, real trust, and real time spent planning something special for someone. They help future clients feel confident and help my business continue to grow.

If I've ever helped plan your vacation, whether it was a cruise, a Disney or Universal vacation, or an all-inclusive getaway, and I made any impact on your experience, I'd be so grateful if you'd consider leaving a Facebook review or sending me a message.

I’m proud to say I’m a 5-star travel agent, and that only happens because of the amazing clients who trust me with their vacations.

Thank you for the support! I don’t take it for granted.

As we head into the holidays, I want to take a moment to talk about referrals and what they mean to me and my small business.

This business truly grows through word of mouth. Every time someone mentions my name, tags me, or says “you should talk to Erin,” it means more than you probably realize. I couldn’t do what I do without that support.

The holidays are full of travel conversations — dreaming, planning, and “one day we should…” moments around the table. If you hear friends or family talking about vacations, I’d be so thankful if you thought of me.

I specialize in:
• Disney destinations (theme parks, cruises, Adventures by Disney)
• Universal Orlando & Hollywood
• Cruises (Disney, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Virgin Voyages, Princess, MSC)
• All-inclusive Caribbean resorts
• Alaska, Europe, river cruises & guided tours

Thank you for supporting my small business in ways big and small. It truly means everything.

I doubt this includes a size 7 night Caribbean Cruise… but do I wait until December 25th to open it?

What would you do? 🤔

✨ Back from my cruise and full of fresh ideas for 2026 travel

I just returned from sailing Navigator of the Seas, and every trip I take reminds me why I love what I do. Even though I’ve cruised many times, each port and each experience adds new things I can share with my clients, the small tips, the hidden gems, the “you need to try this” moments.

Catalina Island surprised me in the best way, and now I have even more recommendations for anyone considering a West Coast sailing.

And now that I’m home, I’m diving right back into planning Disney and Universal vacations, cruises (Alaska and Mediterranean are popular right not), all-inclusive getaways, Avalon and Viking River cruises, Globus Tours.

If you’re thinking about a vacation for 2025 or 2026, now is a great time to start dreaming.

Where are you hoping to go next? 🌍✨
