Honeymoon, Cruise and Disney Vacation Specialist
Walt Disney World
Throughout my life, I have developed a profound passion for travel. My thrill for exploring new destinations has been a driving force since my earliest memories, and I am constantly planning my next adventure, even while still on vacation. It brings me immense joy to immerse myself in various cultures and experiences, and I am grateful to be a part of an industry that I am so passionate about.
Among the many destinations I have visited, Disney holds a special place in my heart. My childhood memories of visiting Walt Disney World continue to inspire me to create magical experiences for my own family. As an annual passholder of Walt Disney World since 2016, I have had the opportunity to make countless trips to visit the iconic Mickey Mouse. I am proud to state that I visit Walt Disney World almost monthly, which enables me to stay up-to-date on the latest developments and offerings at the park.
In addition to Disney, I have explored numerous cruise lines, including Royal Caribbean, Virgin Voyages, Norwegian, and Carnival. I also resided in Destin, Florida, for three years, and I am pleased to offer my knowledge of the area to assist with trip planning to the Florida Gulf Coast. Furthermore, I have frequented Universal Resort on multiple occasions, with three visits in the past year alone.
Whether you seek rest and relaxation or an adventure packed itinerary, I am ready to assist with all aspects of your trip planning. The best part? There is no additional cost to you, fellow traveler. Simply sit back and relax while I take care of all your travel needs.

Lauren did such an amazing job pulling cruise quotes for me, explaining the entire booking process, and even kept me informed before, during, and post-cruise. I truly felt like I had a boutique buying experience with Lauren where I received the inside scoop and pertinent reminders about my sailing.

Fun in the Sun
Reviewed By Msdarlene - St Simons Island GA | Traveled to Mexico
Lauren has been a true pleasure to work with. Everything went off without a hitch. The cruise was wonderful to include the vibe on the trip, the deluxe beverage package, the excursion and gratuities paid ahead of time. Lauren kept in touch throughout the process via email or text and even wished us a "bon voyage" and checked on us once we arrived back in the states. I would highly recommend her and will definitely use her services again. She goes above and beyond. Thank you Lauren fir everything!!!

Lauren went above and beyond!
Reviewed By Karen - Berkeley Heights, NJ | Traveled to Asheville ~ North Carolina ~ USA
Lauren did a fabulous job planning our trip to Asheville. Given the current state of flights, we unfortunately experienced a flight cancellation due to weather on our journey back home. However, Lauren was on top of the situation. She quickly arranged a hotel for us near the airport for the night. Not only that, but she also went above and beyond by successfully obtaining credit vouchers from the airline for a future flight, even though such concessions are not typically granted for weather-related cancellations. I highly recommend her services for all your travel needs. She will support you every step of the way and serve as your advocate whenever necessary.

Purely Magical Results when she plan tips!
Reviewed By Kaitlin - Virginia Beach,VA | Traveled to Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
I like to refer to Lauren as the "Buzz Lightyear" of travel planning, because she truly goes "To infinity, & beyond" to make trips memorable & worth the investment you make. She's coordinated trips for me to Major Leauge Ballparks, Universal, Walt Disney World, & to Miami for a Cruise. She doesn't just consider key pieces of a trip like ticket pricing & lodging & rental cars but also considers details you may not even know about or think to consider when planning.
This is a particularly helpful feature when planning trips like Walt Disney World or Universal trips where they have special passes, events, & blackout dates for passes. She is a wizard at planning things like that.
She also doesn't hesitate to offer advice or alternative ideas if she thinks she has a better option in mind for hotels, travel dates, taking trains over planes, etc...
I would literally be lost on trips without her!
