Kim McDonough, CATP
Disney Destinations Specialist
Hello, everyone! I'm Kim, your dedicated travel ally, eager to guide you through the awe-inspiring world of travel. With a keen expertise in enchanting destinations like Disneyland and Walt Disney World, the thrills of Universal Studios, the luxury of cruising, the indulgence of all-inclusive resorts, and a special focus on vacations tailored for those with special needs, I am here to make your travel dreams come alive. Furthermore, as a Certified Autism Travel Professional, I hold a dear commitment to ensuring every journey is accessible and enjoyable for all.
My journey into the realm of travel began amidst the wonder of Walt Disney World during my childhood in New York. Those initial encounters with Disney's magic ignited a passion that has only grown stronger with time. After relocating to Arizona in 1989, my adventures expanded to include the enchantment of Disneyland. The tradition of exploring these magical worlds continued with my own family, making cherished visits to Disneyland an annual highlight. Witnessing the parks' magic through the eyes of my two daughters, especially seeing how it captivates my youngest who is autistic, has been profoundly joyous and illuminating. It's offered me invaluable insights into creating seamless and inclusive travel experiences for families with unique needs.
The inspiration drawn from a memorable family excursion to Walt Disney World was the catalyst for embracing my lifelong aspiration to become a Travel Advisor. Joining the team at Vacation with the Magic, LLC has been nothing short of a fairy tale fulfilled. Every day, I have the privilege of crafting magical vacations for families and adventurers alike, infused with the same joy and wonder I've experienced firsthand.Ready to embark on a journey of enchantment and discovery? I'm more than eager to lead the way in planning your next unforgettable getaway. Let's create some magic together!
