I highly recommend utilizing Kristin to reduce the stress of planning a great vacation!
"Kristin is an excellent resource! She has helped us plan two vacations, one already taken and a cruise planned for June ‘24. Kristin took the uncertainty out of traveling to an unfamiliar area, first experience to an all-inclusive resort by providing expectations, suggestions for tipping staff, travel to and from the airport, and even a packing list for the area.
Kristin was the first travel advisor we have ever used, and was great in getting to know our budget, and expectations with accommodations, and found multiple options to match this and the dates we had available to travel. She took a lot of anxiety out of planning and kept us within budget!!"

she saved me more money than doing it myself
"I’ve booked two Disney vacations with Kristin and my experience was flawless both times. I had no idea I could use a travel agent to do the work for me (research, bookings, pricing) all for no extra price, plus she saved me more money than doing it myself! I thought for sure I could get a better deal doing the work and I was wrong. Both times I saved about $500 working with her. And she gave me great options to go off of. She’s so knowledgeable and responsive, I love working with her and will do it again in 2024!"

great at answering my millions of daily questions
"Kristin is amazing! She planned our first family Disneyland trip this fall and was so helpful. She made sure our hotel was booked and our Disney passes were taken care of. She was great at answering my millions of daily questions leading up to our trip and giving us options and her opinion on things to do at Disneyland as well as Disney's California Adventure. Her suggestions on things like restaurants, attractions, and even grocery delivery to our hotel was so helpful! We will definitely utilize Kristen's services in the future for our family travel needs! She was so great to work with!"
Lexa, Disneyland
We couldn't have asked for a better experience
"We used Kristin for a family Disney Cruise that included over 25 family members ranging from 65 to 2 years old. It was our first cruise. Her knowledge of Disney's approach was phenomenal and she helped us find the correct rooms, connected to each other, as well as all the other arrangements. We changed the dates on her several times, due to family conflicts that arose, and she handled all the changes quickly and effectively. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Several of the family members commented that it was the best vacation we have done."

Travel planning doesn’t have to compete with everything else on your to-do list.
Most of the clients we work with can plan their own trips. They just don’t have the time or desire to spend weeks researching options, comparing details, and managing logistics on top of real life.
That’s where we come in.
At Bright Life Travel, we help busy families and professionals plan trips that feel thoughtful, organized, and aligned with how they actually want to travel. You share your wish list, we curate the options, and we manage the details from start to finish so the experience feels seamless.
This is what intentional travel planning looks like.
Clear. Efficient. And designed to fit into full lives.
The fastest way to make a group travel budget stretch further isn’t flashy.
It’s early planning.
When group trips are planned with enough lead time, you’re not paying the last-minute premium or settling for whatever happens to still be available. You have access to better room categories, stronger group contracts, more favorable pricing, and options that actually fit the group.
With runway and a little flexibility on dates, we can proactively watch pricing, secure the best-fit properties, and help your budget work much harder than it would at the last minute.
This is how group travel goes from “fine” to thoughtfully planned and elevated.
If you’re organizing a group trip and want expert eyes on timing, pricing, and options, send us a message to get the conversation started.
$50 Disneyland tickets for kids? Yep. It’s real.
For a limited time, children ages 3–9 can visit both parks at the Disneyland Resort for $50 per day with a special Park Hopper ticket.
You can also choose 2- or 3-day options, which makes this a huge win for families planning summer 2026.
This offer is valid May 22–September 7, 2026, and while it’s an incredible deal, it does come with some important planning pieces (park reservations, limited availability, timing matters… you know, very Disney).
✨ Already booked with us for this summer?
No action needed. Your Bright Life Travel advisor will automatically check your reservation to see if this promotion can be applied and reach out if it can. One less thing on your plate.
Thinking about planning a Disneyland trip and want help making sure this actually works in your favor? That’s literally our job—and we’re very good at it.

(And yes… early planners win this one.)
Family vacations don’t need to be bigger, louder, or more packed to be memorable.
They need to be planned with intention.
These are some of the vacation styles we love planning for families because they work across different ages, energy levels, and seasons of life. They allow space for connection, rest, and flexibility while still delivering experiences kids get excited about.
The common thread?
They’re almost always better when planned ahead.
Starting early gives families more options, better pacing, and the ability to build a trip that feels enjoyable instead of overwhelming.
If you’re already thinking about family travel in 2026, this is the ideal time to begin the conversation. Thoughtful planning now leads to smoother, more meaningful travel later.
If your idea of a dream trip has changed since becoming a parent, you are not alone.
For a lot of moms and dads, travel in this season is less about packed itineraries and more about rest, ease, and feeling like yourself again. That might mean fewer stops, better pacing, or choosing a destination that actually supports downtime.
At Bright Life Travel, we help parents plan trips that fit real life. We focus on timing, comfort, logistics, and experiences that give you a break instead of creating more work.
If you are thinking about planning travel in 2026 and want it to feel restorative instead of exhausting, save this post and reach out when you are ready to start.
Thinking about new hobbies in 2026? ✈️✨
We can help with the kind that includes plane windows, good books, and well-planned trips.
If you’re planning a trip and feeling overwhelmed by options, you’re not alone.
Between online reviews, social media recommendations, and endless “best places to go” lists, travel planning can get confusing fast. The key is not more information — it’s better context.
At Bright Life Travel, we help families, couples, and professionals plan trips by starting with travel style, priorities, and timing first. From there, we match you with destinations, hotels, and itineraries that actually make sense for how you travel.
If you’re thinking about using PTO, planning a family vacation, or booking a trip this year or next, this process can save you time, stress, and costly mistakes.
Save this post for later, and send us a message when you’re ready to plan with clarity instead of chaos.
Before we ever recommend a destination, hotel, or itinerary, we ask a lot of questions.
Not because we like being complicated, but because the best trips are built around real life, real schedules, and real people.
When families tell us these answers up front, planning becomes easier, smoother, and far more enjoyable.
This is how trips stop feeling overwhelming and start feeling exciting again.
Save this for later or send it to someone planning a family trip right now.
If you want to maximize your PTO in 2026, this is your sign to start planning now.
By pairing paid time off with U.S. federal holidays, you can turn a few PTO days into longer vacations throughout the year. Strategic travel planning around holidays like MLK Day, Presidents’ Day, Memorial Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas can unlock 9 to 17 consecutive days off, depending on your schedule.
This kind of PTO strategy works especially well for:
• Families planning school-break travel
• Couples trying to stretch limited vacation time
• Professionals who want fewer, longer trips instead of lots of short weekends
The key is knowing which weeks make the most sense for travel, which destinations actually work well during holiday periods, and when booking early really matters.
Save this post if you are thinking about 2026 travel, and if you want help choosing destinations that match these PTO windows, that is exactly what we do.
