People ask me where they can travel without a passport all of the time.
I did online renewal for mine on July 10. It came in the mail yesterday, July 17. This is lightning fast.
Get the passport. It opens up a world of possibilities.

Parks and Palms Travel Co. 🌴
I went back-and-forth between Parks and Palms or Palms and Parks. I ultimately decided that it flowed better with parks first. But look at that. I went to change my page name and I reversed it. Now I'm stuck with it like this for 60 days. Bear with me here as I launch 🤣
The real inspiration behind the name? My dad. I lost him last fall and my life is forever changed. It was a really tough and long year. From him, I got my love of travel. We weren't cold-weather people. We went where the sun was. The Caribbean, lots of cruises. A timeshare at Disney World. My childhood was just so fun and I owe everything to him.
From him, I also got my work ethic. My dad came from absolutely nothing, put himself through school, took care of his family and became something so incredible. He really lived the American Dream. A man whose advice was sought after. Someone who was the voice of reason and loved by just so many people. The first phone call I made every day.
My dad loved palm trees. He told us that we need to be like palm trees because they don't break, they bend. They sway in the wind. When times get tough, he always told us to be a palm tree. And he loved taking me to Disney.
So, here you have it. A complete labor of love, dedicated to my father, Salvatore Scuderi. Parks and Palms Travel Co. He was so impressed by everything I did, he loved it when I would FaceTime him from resort tours or cruise ships. But he thought that I really needed to slow down a bit. So now I am. I'm slowing down, doing it on my terms and I know I'm making him proud. 
This is for you, Daddy 🌴

I can't lie - this one made me weep a bit after a few bites. Face down on the kitchen table, strange sounds emitting.
Cheese and spinach tortellini with broccoli rabe and crispy prosciutto. 8 cloves of garlic sliced on the mandolin that just melted in. A bit of pasta water and a combo of parm and pecorino.
I'm a simple girl, really.

Dear Commonwealth of Massachusetts,
Look, I've got to commend you on your work recently. You're doing a great job. Everyone loves you.
Just a small bone to pick. The weather. Can we pick a lane? One day it's 68 and sunny. The next day it's freezing and raining. My heat goes on, my heat turns off. You're making all of us crazy.
We are channeling summer. We are ready for lobster rolls, the beach, Sam Summer, and smiles.
Please advise.
Love, Allison

Just kidding, I’m not ANYWHERE near that old (though it feels like it some days).
Greetings, everyone! I’m Allison, from Marvelous Mouse Travels. I’m a professional, wife, mother, and absolute Disney fanatic dedicated to making the magical travel wishes of others come true!
Let’s take a trip back in time. The spell of Disney came over me as it does for most people - when I was a young child. I had the luck of having parents who secured a Disney timeshare, so we’d journey off to the parks for a few weeks every year for around a decade and a half. That’s a lot of mouse! I’ve tried counting how many times I’ve walked through the turnstiles at Magic Kingdom … but my head starts spinning like one of Alice’s teacups!
I “grew up” but the love never left. Eventually, I started planning trips for myself. I discovered the Food and Wine Festival and other Disney events, and garnered a brand-new appreciation for it as an adult. Now, I have an adorable son that loves Mickey Mouse … and it’s such a wonderful joy to see him take it all in.
For all those years, I was helping friends and family arrange trips to Disney World, Disney Land, and other destinations - putting together “Tips and Tricks” spreadsheets, picking out resorts, selecting which rides to FastPass, everything. I loved doing this … so eventually, I thought, “Why not turn this passion into a career?”
Joining Marvelous Mouse Travels was the result. We have earned the distinction of a Disney Platinum Earmarked Agency, meaning we are one of the top travel agencies in the world servicing your Disney vacations. My Marvelous Mouse clients are the center of my world. I work tirelessly to take care of them.
