We were first introduced to Drift Away when Sydney came with her pack of dogs to give a…read morepresentation to my son's elementary cub scout pack. Sydney was knowledgeable and poised and kept the boys engaged. At the end of the presentation, each boy got a short ride on the sled. It was easily one of the coolest events of the year. If you're looking for a group activity or enrichment event, don't hesitate. After that first visit, both my kids begged to visit the dogs in Central MA to experience a full dog sled adventure. We signed up for the 5-mile ride. If you choose to visit Drift Away, *do* confirm your meeting location. We showed up at the address on the website to find no one there. Because of the confusion with the locations, Sydney graciously offered to include a mini-mushing experience in addition to the sled ride, so each of us got to mush solo for a short distance with a small team of dogs--a very cool feeling to be by yourself on a sled with the dogs. The 5-mile ride consisted of one of Drift Away's mushers, Tessa, driving our sled while the kids and I rode in the seat and standing in mushing position. Being the old lady that I am, I thought I would enjoy sitting more, but it was absolutely exhilarating to stand and imagine the experience of mushing myself. I could easily imagine how one could get hooked. You really gain an appreciation of the dogs, their intelligence, and their capacity. Rutland State Park, where we took our ride, was beautiful and peaceful. I will admit to booking this adventure mostly at the kids' behest, but I thoroughly enjoyed it myself. Great for families and adults. Before and after the ride, we got to interact with the dogs and mushers. Sydney, Kiara, and Tessa are fantastic young women who clearly know their facts and love their dogs. The kids and I helped harness the dogs before the ride and feed the dogs after the ride, all while hearing stories of each of the dogs and learning bits of their personalities. Beyond the experience of the mushing and sled ride, we were very impressed with these entrepreneurial young women who started with an interest in dog sledding when they were just 10 years old, pursued their passion, and developed this women-run business to support the dogs. It was amazing experience and a pleasure to support such a dedicated and hard-working team.

I decided to wait on the yellow fever vaccination until I spoke to my doctor. It turns out I am on immune suppressant steroid injections for my spine and my doctor advises against the vaccination because of this. I called back the nurse and she said they will not provide a waiver because she says the CDC website says the steroid dose does not qualify for a waiver. She had another nurse call me and she started right off with you don't qualify for a waiver. I asked why and she said the CDC website says it in their guidelines. I asked to see the CDC website where it states this and she said to look it up on Google. I asked for a letter from Passport Health saying they would not give me the waiver based of the CDC website data even though my doctor recommends it so I have recourse if I have a reaction. She said she won't do that. Passport Health would be happy to give me the shot for $445 but not a free waiver even if it is recommended by my doctor.

Dear Jen,…read more We cannot thank you enough for coordinating a perfect trip to Disneyland during February vacation week! Our family had a terrific time, and we were truly able to enjoy all aspects of our experience because you guided, advised and organized us so well before leaving. All of your recommendations were spot on. We loved the hotel you chose for its ease of access to the parks and because it provided the perfect space for all of us. Advising us to make dinner reservations in advance was critical after long days and lots of walking in the parks! Explaining how the Fast Pass system worked allowed us to fit in all the highlighted rides and attractions at least once, if not more. Your tip sheets and itinerary listings of parades, etc. proved most helpful as they were filled with details that made the parks more easily manageable. We truly felt like our trip mattered to you and we are forever appreciative of your time and energy spent booking. Despite knowing we could call Disney directly to book this trip, we are so glad we instead called you. It didn't cost us anything extra, yet you provided us with more than we could have imagined! Thank you for making this a memorable experience!! Best, The Kaye Family

My family spent our Thanksgiving holiday at Disney World this year. There were eight of us, six…read moreadults and two children, ages 5 and 7. We went for five days. The last time any of us had been in Disney World was over 10 years ago. Disney has changed a lot since then. Everyone who heard we were going to Disney gave us advice, the best rides, restaurants, shows, and hotels. It was all very much appreciated, but also completely overwhelming. We heard about meal plans, fast passes, snack points, and photopacks. We needed some guidance. A friend of mine recommended we talk to Jen Zinno from Mickey Adventures. What is Mickey Adventures? Well if it is anything to make the magical world of Disney easier to navigate... sign us up! Jen Zinno is the Jedi Knight of Disney World. You might think I am embellishing a bit here, and for those of you Star Wars fans, I am not taking the Jedi name in vain. Seriously though, Jen made our trip to Disney the most perfect, stress-free, fantastic vacation we could have imagined. To start Jen booked everything, and I mean everything, for us; hotels, meals, transportation, and shows. There are certain activities you need reservations for, and the park, I believe, allows you to make these reservations 180 days in advance. Before our 180 days to Disney hit, Jen was consulting with us as to what we want to see, what shows not to miss, and how to coordinate them into our trip. On the 180th day before Disney hit, Jen reserved and planned everything that needed to be done. She handled everything with ease, sending us confirmations, and any other information we may need about the activities. A few weeks before our trip, Jen sent us, both in email and hard copy, our itinerary and all reservations. Now I have seen itineraries before. A list of where you go each day, what to do, blah blah blah.... This itinerary was so amazing and detailed, it not only blows all other itineraries out of the water, it may in fact need a name greater than just "itinerary". We received a list, day by day of which park to do which day, Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, and Epcot. Then for each day, depending on the park, Jen listed how to actually work our way through the park, ensuring we did every ride we wanted to do, saw every show we wanted to, and even repeat some of the amazing rides. She guided us through when and where to use our fast passes and good places to stop for meals and snacks. Now you may be thinking, really do you really need to follow this list. Well let me tell you from personal experience FOLLOW THE LIST. Here is where the Jedi comes in. If we stuck to our list, we did everything, we did not wait in lines, and we missed nothing. Keep in mind we were at Disney over Thanksgiving, a pretty busy time. With Jen's directions as to how to fast pass which rides and what rides to do while waiting for your fast pass reservation time, we hit them all! We walked by people waiting in line for Thunder Mountain for 85 minutes! We got on in 5. The same thing happened all week long. When your list says "If the line at Pirates of the Caribbean splits, stay left, it is faster" YOU STAY LEFT! This woman knows what she is taking about. So in closing, thank you thank you thank you Jen Zinno and Mickey Adventures. You made our trip to Disney all that and more. Disney is still that magical place you thought it was when you were a kid, and Jen, with her magic, will be able to keep it that way. Just STICK TO THE LIST.
