Elevating the Magic: Reflections From Our Goofy Getaways Summit
A Milestone Moment
This past July, something truly special happened. Goofy Getaways celebrated 13 incredible years during our bi-annual agency summit. We brought together our team from across the country for this year’s gathering — themed Pixie Dust and Possibilities: Elevating the Magic — and it was nothing short of transformative.
As I stood in that room, surrounded by the heart and soul of this company, I silently thanked God for the journey He’s led me on and prayed for the strength and wisdom to continue leading with purpose for many years to come.
More Than Numbers — It's About People and Purpose
At first glance, you might think a travel agency summit is all about numbers, strategies, or the latest updates from our favorite destinations. But at Goofy Getaways, it's about something much deeper: people, purpose, and the magic we create together.
What I’ve learned on this journey is that the numbers and sales will follow when people feel respected and appreciated. I know I’m always more productive when I feel that way — and I know I’m not alone in that.
Leading with Heart, Vision, and Integrity
From the top down, Goofy Getaways is led with heart, vision, and integrity. Our leadership team doesn’t just talk about culture — they live it. They lead by example, showing up with passion, perseverance, and the boldness to challenge the norm in order to raise the bar for excellence.
They believe in empowering every single agent — whether you’ve been with us five years or five minutes — to step into your potential, serve clients with care, and dream bigger than ever before. That belief echoed through every keynote, every breakout, and every conversation throughout the summit.
A Summit Full of Strategy and Soul
This year’s summit was packed with powerful, purpose-driven content. Our agents participated in in-depth training on Disney Destinations and Universal Parks & Resorts Vacations, gaining insights to better serve our clients with expert knowledge and first-hand experience.
Our leadership team shared impactful sessions on building client relationships, social media, branding, marketing, and the importance of setting healthy boundaries in a client-focused business.
We were also moved by dynamic keynote speakers who reminded us that:
“Creating Connections that Count”
“Being Positive and Creating Positive Relationships is a Choice”
...are not just feel-good slogans — they’re daily decisions that shape how we lead, serve, and live.
Celebrating Milestones and Magic
Of course, we celebrated in true Goofy style — recognizing agents for their 1, 5, and 10 years of service, and awarding outstanding achievements in sales, growth, teamwork, and leadership.
From record-breaking bookings to first-time wins, we honored the magic that happens when talent meets purpose and support meets opportunity.
We laughed. We cried. We learned. We lifted each other up. And we left the summit not only better agents, but better humans.
What Sets Goofy Getaways Apart?
We don’t take the title of trusted travel professionals lightly. At Goofy Getaways, being the best isn’t about being the biggest — it’s about being:
The most intentional
The most client-focused
The most committed to excellence in every single detail
Every trip we plan is backed by training, certification, and real-world experience. Our team is certified in every destination and supplier we book — because our clients deserve expert guidance, not guesswork.
Being the best also means:
Doing what’s right, even when no one’s watching
Going the extra mile (and then some)
Delivering VIP-level service that makes our clients feel truly seen and valued
We don’t just plan vacations — we craft experiences with heart, precision, and a little pixie dust that make lasting memories.
