Passion for Travel and A Love Of Planning
My first visit to Disney's Castaway Cay
My passion for travel truly began on my honeymoon when my husband and I took our first trip to Walt Disney World together. It was his first visit; I researched and planned every detail to ensure we had the most magical vacation possible. I knew I had done a great job when my husband started talking about booking our next trip to Disney before we had even gone home!
Little did I know that the desire to travel and experience the world would turn into a career for helping others create lasting memories. I have since enjoyed many trips to Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando Resort, multiple visits to Disneyland in California, time at Universal Hollywood, and sailings with Royal Caribbean and Disney Cruise Line. I believe there is always a new experience to be had when returning to my favorite destinations. Experiencing the magic of 'The Happiest Place On Earth' is something everyone should have the opportunity to enjoy in their lifetime.
Looking forward, later this year I am ecstatic to be counting down the days until my next visit to Walt Disney World, sailing with Disney Cruise Line aboard the Disney Magic, visiting Universal Orlando Resort for Halloween Horror Nights, and continuing my education at the EDGE Travel Conference in Washington D.C. I truly believe in filling your life with experiences.
When not planning my next trip, I love attending local sporting events, concerts and movies. I enjoy spending time with friends, family, and my dog, Duke. Affectionately known as ‘the Disney Girl’, you’ll often hear me talking about upcoming travel plans whenever the opportunity arises.
I have earned my diploma from the College of Disney Knowledge and will be available to assist in all your Disney Destination needs. In addition, I'm a Universal Orlando Resort Specialist, SeaWorld Specialist and Discovery Cove Specialist. I have earned my Bachelor of Adventure degree from Royal Caribbean, along with Gold Tier status with Virgin Voyages. Whether you are looking to plan your first magical Disney vacation, thrilling Universal getaway, or setting sail around the world, I will be there for you! I look forward to planning and organizing a vacation that you will remember for years to come.
What My Clients Are Saying
"We went on a Royal Caribbean cruise followed by two days at universal studios. Julie took care of everything for us, from hotels to transportation, excursions, park passes, you name it she did it!

She even gave us a packing list! Julie went above and beyond to take all the stress out of the vacation. She really is the best and I could not recommend her enough to anyone looking to book a cruise or trip to universal studios or Disney!"
"She made everything so easy and so perfect for my family! Every little detail of our Disney vacation was magical because of her!"

Amazing Honeymoon
Reviewed By Honeymoon 2022 - Plymouth, MA | Traveled to Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
We had such a great experience work with Julie. She came highly recommended and after working with her, we completely understand why. She listened to our tripIdeas and over all what we wanted for the trip. We did ask for suggestions and she provided us with several options. She even help me surprise my new husband (it was our honeymoon) and she helped my husband plan one for me. Either of us knew the other had something going on. Where personal things happened on our trip Julie worked hard and got our car service and my husband surprised changed. We are already talking about our next trip and how we will definitely be using Julie again and again.

Last minute - trip of a lifetime
Reviewed By Colleen D - Stoneham, MA | Traveled to Universal Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA
I can’t say enough about Julie. On a whim, I reached out and asked about a Universal vacation that we wanted to take in only three weeks. Without batting an eye, Julie was able to set up our hotel, airfare, ground transportation, dinner reservations, and park visits. She set up a call and explained everything to us. Julie mailed out park maps to help us plan and even gave us tips on getting on the popular rides with minimal wait times. She checked in a couple days before, the morning off, and while we were in Orlando to make sure everything was going smoothly. This trip of a lifetime would have never happened without Julie. Can’t wait for our next adventure, thank you, Julie!!

Julie is absolutely amazing, she booked our 5 day trip to Disney. She is so knowledgeable about the parks and all there is to do. She’s there to help every step of the way. From the airport to the stroller and dining recommendations, to her knowledge about parks, rides, and lines we truly got the most from this experience. It was my stepsons first time going and he had so much fun meeting all of the characters and attending Mickeys not so Scary Halloween. We can not thank Julie enough!
