Frequently Asked Questions

  • I’ll have a better idea of whether girlies want to retreat in Walt Disney World vs Disneyland after reviewing the submissions from the interest form. However, I’m anticipating having the first Once Upon a Book Retreat at the Walt Disney World Resort, but will plan a Disneyland retreat shortly after!!

  • I’m anticipating hosting the first Once Upon a Book Retreat sometime in 2026. I’m asking that interested girlies submit an interest form to help me get a better idea of when you’d like to go, what Disney park you’d like to go to, && more information.

  • When I get more information on what girlies want to experience during the Once Upon a Book Retreat via the interest form, I’ll be able to plan the retreat in more detail. The price of the retreat will include hotel, park tickets, book retreat goodies, && more, but it won’t include flights, transportation, food, && souvenirs (obviously—you gotta get your own Mickey ears).

  • Based on demand, I’m anticipating hosting myself && up to nine other girls for Once Upon a Book Retreat. After reviewing the submissions I receive in the interest form, I’ll have a better idea of the experience girlies want during the Once Upon a Book Retreat, including how many girls they feel comfortable vacationing with.

  • Because I’m quirky && I think it’s cute. I also use “??” && “!!” Just go along with it!! 😅

  • Me?? Oh—I’m no one. 😅 Just a girl who loves to read, plans near-perfect Disney trips, && is sick of not hanging out with her bookstagram friends IRL. You can read more about me here, or stalk me on Instagram (nothing creepy, please).
