Family & Multi-Generational Travel Expert

Just like Family, Travel is not just about the destination...it's all about the Journey! 

The best vacation possible for your family is my wish and will be at the forefront of every step of your travel journey. Family travel is important for so many reasons. It creates lasting bonds, feeds the soul and provides cherished memories. Family can be defined however you choose. It's the people in your life whom you are bound by love, blood or even friendship. Family Fun Journeys specializes in creating vacations for families of any shape, size and definition. From a couple on their Honeymoon to Grandparents traveling with their extended family. Let's plan your next Family Journey together!

About Me:

Hello, my name is Katrina and I've been a travel advisor for over 7 years. I founded Family Fun Journeys in January 2021 in order to better focus on what I do best. Vacation Planning for Families and Multi-generational families traveling together. 

I live in New Jersey with my husband of 18 years and our cat Oreo. Together we own Family Fun Hobbies, a family friendly board game, toy and hobby store. We do not have children of our own, but we consider the kids who have grown up shopping with us to be our honorary kids. Seeing the power of family fun in our business has been a true gift over the last 12+ years. While we carry many products to help people in their hobby, one of my biggest hobbies was clearly lacking to me, travel. 

Disney Vacations make me happy. I've been to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, on a Disney Cruise and to Norway with Adventures by Disney. This passion for Disney and the lack of travel services in our store led me to become a travel advisor with a Disney focused home-based agency. As the agency grew, we added more destinations for our clients. Unfortunately, my preferred destinations and the travel style my clients were looking for didn't always align 100%, though it was not a huge obstacle. Then 2020 came along and our views on travel during the Covid-19 Pandemic definitely went two different ways. In the end we amicably decided to part ways and Family Fun Journeys was born!

Family Fun Journeys and Family Fun Hobbies are two totally separate businesses, but we share the same belief that everyone needs at least one hobby and family is core to our mental well being. I believe that the call to travel is real. That it absolutely is a hobby for many, but it can also be a focus on a trip of a lifetime. In either case, I am here to help make your journey as easy, smooth and fabulous as it can be.

I love to travel and have been all over and love seeing and doing new things as often as possible. I have #wanderlust for sure. I've seen many places in the USA. Have been to Europe multiple times as well as the Caribbean.

I have fibromyalgia and migraines, so I know what it's like to travel with a disability. Many of my vacations have included the use of a scooter/ecv. I know how different travel can be with health and mobility issues. I also have Celiac Disease, so I also know what it is like to travel with food allergies. I would love to help you fulfill any special needs you might have. 

I am here to help you from start to finish and look forward to working with you! Let me put my extensive knowledge and experience to work for you.

Katrina was incredibly responsive. She was able to help me talk me through apps & websites for Disney. Everything went smoothly because of her. I’m really bad at logistics of trip planning & she was a Godsend.

Memories that will last a lifetime

She was extremely knowledgeable about all things Disney. I am a control freak and I felt comfortable giving her the reigns on our Disney Vacation. Would absolutely use her again the next time we go on vacation.

You are such a pleasure to work with. I get being a control freak, so glad you knew I wasn't taking away your decision making! Don't forget I book non-Disney too.

Customer Testimonials

Italy and Amsterdam Success!

The food is definitely a highlight. The Murano glass factory in Venice was an amazing experience..The winery tour we took in Chianti Country in Florence was exquisite. I had bottles shipped home. I went to Rome for the first time when I was a senior in high school. To return more than 20 years later was amazing. Going to the same landmarks of ancient Rome and learning about this lush history that affects all of us on the tours was wonderful. The blend of ancient & modern in that city still gets me. It was so hot, but never a regret being there. To finish the trip in Amsterdam where it was a little cooler and a little more relaxed as we wanted was the perfect ending to a perfect once in a lifetime trip. We didn't want to leave! I can't wait to go back again! Katrina was so receptive to all of our requests as we came up with them. I felt very comfortable & confident with what she was providing for us, suggestions she had for us, and great tours that she found for us to look at.
