My dream of creating magical Disney vacations goes back to my honeymoon where my husband and I enjoyed a memorable trip to Magic Kingdom. Since then, we’ve spent almost two decades building countless more magical memories with our three beautiful princesses, Corabelle, Olivia, and Regina. For me, planning vacations is almost as fun as going on the vacation. I put my endless hours of research to work for my clients to help them make the most of their dream vacation. As a homeschool Mom I get to create fun and memorable learning experiences for my family every day. Being a Travel Professional allows me to put my talents to work to create more magic for my clients too!

I know the parks intimately, have stayed on property at many of the resorts, am an expert pin trader, love the festivals like Food & Wine Festival and Festival of the Arts, and I stay up on all of the latest Disney food and travel blogs. I love to help clients make the most of the time in the parks by advising them on what to do at Rope Drop and how to use Lightning Lanes to their greatest advantage. Whether clients are going on their first Disney vacation or are seasoned pros, I take the guesswork out of their travel by using my knowledge and experience to create a trip perfectly tailored to make their dreams come true. 

I always say that I am my best self when I’m at Disney. It’s creating magical Disney memories for my family where I’m able to be most carefree, fun, and present with my family. Everyone in my family is unique and we all have our special interests. It’s fun for me to create space for each one to highlight their own interests. 

My favorite resort spot is Disney’s Boardwalk. I have so many fun memories of walking the boardwalk and enjoying delicious cupcakes from the bakery. I love that this resort area allows walking access to Epcot & Hollywood Studios (or is an easy boat ride away) and is right on the Skyliner. You can’t go wrong staying at any of the resorts located in this amazing destination on Crescent Lake, full of fun and entertainment. 

For my oldest daughter, though, it doesn’t get better than Disney’s Animal Kingdom and Fort Wilderness. We love staying in the cabins, watching the fireworks by the water, and dining in the nearby spectacular Wilderness Lodge. One of her most fun memories is seeing her silly grandpa bantering with Grumpy during our meal at Storybook Dining at Artist Point. 

My husband, Mike, loves Marvel movies and Star Wars so some of his favorite spots are Hollywood Studios and Epcot. The new ride Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at Epcot is AMAZING. If you like roller coasters or thrill rides, this is one you won’t want to miss. He loves that at Hollywood Studios, you can really feel like you’re walking on Tatooine or riding on a cruiser being boarded by Stormtroopers. Mike also really likes to build in some downtime on our Disney vacations. We love to make sure that we plan time to be at the beach or lay by the pool on days off between visits to the parks. 

For fans of Guardians of the Galaxy, you would also love Disneyland’s take on the Tower of Terror. Not only is it a breathtaking thrill ride, but the theming is fantastic, and we always love getting to see and interact with the Guardians characters like Star Lord and Gamora as well as other Marvel characters while walking the streets of California Adventure Park.  

My middle daughter, Olivia, is an Ariel look alike so she loves spending as much time as possible in Ariel’s grotto.  Seven Dwarf’s Mine Train and Slinky Dog Dash are also two of her other favorite fun spots. 

Our family loves to do Disney travel in a variety of ways. Sometimes we travel with the grandparents to do all the parks over the course of a week. Sometimes we like park hopping and visiting all four parks in just a couple of days. More recently, we’ve enjoyed visiting Typhoon Lagoon, spending time cooling off from the hot Florida sun in the fun waterslides and relaxing lazy river.

Our family loves musicals and shows, so when we’re in the parks, we make sure to prioritize the live shows in addition to the fun rides. Our absolute favorites are Beauty & the Beast Live on Stage and Festival of the Lion King!  These are also great ways to build in breaks to rest and get some air conditioning while in the parks.  

My clients love that I pay attention to their unique interests as well, helping them to build a dream vacation around a style that suits their family. As a self-proclaimed foodie, I can make recommendations on quick service and table service alike. I love sampling all the sweet and savory goodies so that I can stay up-to-date and give expert advice for all of your dining needs.

“Vacation is buying memories!” I am not sure where my husband and I first heard this quote but we use it often when we plan our travel itineraries. The value of a memory is priceless! It is the memories that bind our family together. Let me help you and your family create memories to last a lifetime!
