☆ I've been on more than 15 cruises. Here are my best tips for planning a cost-effective and seamless trip to sea.

One of the biggest things I would recommend for people who haven't cruised before is finding a travel agent or advisor who specializes in cruisesEven with me being in the industry for as long as I have, having a travel agent is helpful. I decided to use a travel agent because I didn't want all the guests calling me, but this travel agent was with a bigger agency and the experience was awful. Travel agents don't cost money — they make their commissions from the ships and travel insurance agencies or tour companies. Travel insurance is also great because it covers anything from medical issues to trip interruption or even theftI'd never had travel insurance until my travel agent educated me on it, but it's been helpful already. I had my phone stolen in Paris last year and my travel insurance covered it.
☆ I produce the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Designing and testing the balloons takes all year — and the feeling on parade morning is indescribable.

Will Coss is the executive producer of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Coss said the feeling on parade morning is indescribable unless you're there. Being the executive producer of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is a dream role. Now, I'm about to lead the team through what will be my second Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, which is a true honor. The preparation for an event like the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is a year-long processI joke sometimes by saying that the day after the parade is when we start planning next year's parade, but there's a lot of truth in that statement.
☆ I'm a full-time Airbnb host in the Las Vegas desert. Here's how my husband and I set up a 6-property business we love without knowing anything about Airbnb.

Sandi Croft and her husband own tiny homes, teepees, and a wagon that they rent out on Airbnb. Croft enjoys offering these unique living experiences on the Sandy Valley Ranch in Nevada. We now mange six Airbnbs on Sandy Valley Ranch in Nevada. He loved doing that, so he told me he wanted to build a tiny house. After building that second tiny house on HGTV, we put it on Airbnb.
☆ I worked at Disney World and Disneyland. The wildest things always happened at Magic Kingdom — here's what it was like.
  + stars: | 2022-10-30 | by ( Jamie Killin | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
Magic Kingdom guests are often there for the first time, so that's where the wild stuff happens. I started at Disney World in the fall of 2014 as part of the Disney College Program, where I worked in attractions at Epcot. That December I graduated, so I applied for the Disneyland college program and got to check out the other coast. Magic Kingdom was the only place where I saw crazy things happen. Eva KellerI think it's because Magic Kingdom is the main park.
☆ I decorate people's homes for Halloween. I started out of the trunk of my car and almost quit from the stress — but now I have my own staff and big commercial clients.

Kelly Fitzsimmons is the owner of Light Up Your Holidays, a holiday decorating service in Chicago. We decorate the exteriors of homes for Christmas and other holidays, like Halloween, which is becoming increasingly popular in our business. He told me about how he'd get super busy in September and October because of holiday decorating. Now, about 20% of my clients decorate for Halloween. I urge people to relinquish the competitive spirit around holiday decorating.
☆ I spent $500,000 renovating an Airbnb to look like Disneyland's Haunted Mansion ride. It's low maintenance, always booked, and provides truly passive income.

As a kid, Jeffrey Schiefelbein loved the Haunted Mansion ride at Disneyland. People ask how I got into it, and it all goes back to when I was younger and was inspired by the Haunted Mansion ride at Disneyland. I went on the Haunted Mansion ride and started taking thousands of photographs to recreate all the elements from the ride. I wanted it to look like the actual house — not a house with Haunted Mansion memorabilia in it. For the people like me who are obsessed with Disney and the Haunted Mansion.
☆ Tour this $389 treehouse Airbnb that sits in a dreamy patch of Atlanta woods and books 2 years in advance

Bahouth once made a joke about the old tree while sitting on the deck, saying, "I'm going to turn him into a table and we'll be able to put our drinks here and see each other." The next day, another tree fell inches from the house. Bahouth said he doesn't make that joke anymore. Alex Martinez
☆ I built a treehouse for fun and it now books 2 years out on Airbnb. Here's how I set up the $389-a-night rental that made enough for me to quit my job.

He started renting the unique home on Airbnb and now has guests booked two years in advance. The Airbnb has become so popular that Bahouth was able leave his job and pursue hosting full-time. I built my treehouses 24 years ago, and I never imagined them as an Airbnb. Then I said to myself, "You know what, there's one way to get out there, and that's to build that treehouse." That's the only way you can survive in this, and that's why I'm doing fine financially.

☆ I own a $950-per-night 'dome house' in Joshua Tree. It's taught me even unique Airbnbs aren't easy money.

Stephanie Monroe owns a "dome house" Airbnb with her husband in Joshua Tree, California. But in 2020, we decided to branch into Airbnb ownership and bought our "Serenity Dome House," as we call it, in Joshua Tree, California, right before the pandemic as a deferred retirement job. There's also a lack of long-term rentals in Joshua Tree, so there's a labor shortage. Additionally, we've been doing a lot of remodeling and decoratingWe built from the ground up a two-bedroom addition to the dome house. Since taking over the property, we've put a lot of thought into how to make it better and more profitable.

She hustled her way into building a business by going to trade shows and getting into wholesale. Our gross sales went from about $27,000 a month to $78,000 a month. It's just now kind of stabilized again by getting us close to our pre-pandemic sales of $80,000 to $100,000 per month. She responded and said, "You won't believe it, but my business partner also owns a space by the original Postino restaurant." It turned out that Scottsdale space resembled our Dallas space.

Courtesy of Fraser YachtsAmarula Sun is a 50-meter yacht that I currently run and have managed for the last eight years. It also has an extensive toy line-up — making it an action-packed charter yacht and one of the best in the industry.
