Throwing Beads from the Float!
Throwing Beads from the Float!

In March 2026, I experienced Mardi Gras at Universal Orlando for the first time. It was such a great experience! I watched the parade twice, and I rode on the float once. They were totally different perspectives. It was so much fun to throw the beads, and to watch everyone having fun, and collecting so many necklaces! I was so afraid I was going to hurt someone. When I was watching the parade, I was usually recording with my phone, so I definitely got hurt from being hit several times, which was interesting. It was so fun, though. The floats were so pretty, and all so different! It's such a unique theme for Universal Orlando. The food and drinks were great, too! Let me know if you are interested in booking a package when it's Mardi Gras time again!

Excellent trip to Disney
Reviewed By Seamus - Melrose, MA | Traveled to Walt Disney World | Florida | USA
We once again used Cori’s services for our trip to Disney. She was very helpful comparing resorts and helping us manage multiple reservations as well as assisting with getting a meal plan. Her automatic reminders were also helpful.

Effortless Planning from Start to Finish
Reviewed By Winnie - Scarsdale, NY | Traveled to Bermuda | Caribbean
Working with Cori made the entire trip feel effortless from start to finish. She is incredibly easy to work with, very responsive, and just gets things done without making anything feel complicated. Anytime I had a question, she got back to me right away, and when something came up, she handled it quickly and seamlessly. She even surprised us with a small gift the day before the cruise, which was such a thoughtful touch and really speaks to how much she cares. It takes a lot of the stress out of planning, especially for a family trip, and you can tell she really knows what she’s doing. I would absolutely recommend her.

Savannah Has it All!
Reviewed By Travel lover - New York | Traveled to Savannah | Georgia | USA
Savannah is a lovely town! It has history, beautiful parks, greenery and a clean downtown shopping neighborhood. It has museums and a very hopping downtown with several good restaurants. Then there is the river, so peaceful watching the ships coming down the river. We had dinner in one of the many outdoor restaurants on the river front. Here, we heard live music as we dined. Savannah is only a taxi drive away from Tybee Island. It has a lovely beach, lighthouse and a quaint main street. Our hotel was only fair in my opinion. The entrance into the hotel was not at all inviting nor was the pool. However it was centrally located. I would definitely recommend a trip to beautiful Savannah!
Cori Shifrin responded
"I'm glad you had a great time in Savannah! It sounds like a beautiful travel destination. I look forward to booking your next vacation!"
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Disney and Seaworld
Reviewed By Lauren - Rye Brook, NY | Traveled to Orlando | Florida | USA
Cori was very quick and efficient in answering all of my questions and comments. She booked everything I needed her to do so it saved me time instead of doing it myself. Cori knows a lot about Florida family activities.
