Personalized Vacation Experience Planning

Costa Rica Afternoon View
Costa Rica Afternoon View

Planning a vacation can be overwhelming. With so many options and details, it's easy to feel stressed and paralyzed by indecision. Add on top the amount of time it takes to look into each option and determine which online reviews are accurate, which photos are current and which resorts are even close to how they are described on the sites. However, research consistently shows the immense benefits of travel including: improved relationships, reduced stress, increased work performance, and even better health. You deserve that well-earned break!

That's where I come in.

For more than two decades, I've had the privilege of helping countless friends, family, colleagues, and neighbors embark on their dream vacations.

Most Magical Vacation Ever!

Reviewed By Lindsey - Hudson, IL | Traveled to Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
Vanessa is so detail oriented not just before the trip but while you are on the trip! Before we used her services we had been to Disney 3 times some of which we had used other agents, but her detail in the documents she sent us and her quick responses to questions while we were at the parks made traveling with 4 young children so easy! The tips she had truly made our vacation magical and one that we will be talking about for the rest of our lives! Originally Posted 3/28/17

Couldn’t Have Done This Without Vanessa!

Reviewed By Julie M - Normal, IL | Traveled to Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA
Vanessa was so helpful in Disney planning, ensuring we had the best deals and knew exactly when to book everything. We had it all planned and ready, complete with Vanessa’s advice on order of park days, what to pack, what to expect for Genie+, etc. Then, on our flight day, weather cancelled most flights to FL. As I stood in line at MDW, Vanessa was looking up new flights, rebooking our car rental (would have not gotten our car without her quick thinking), informing Disney and the stroller rental on the situation, making a stressful event so much easier. She also helped with getting reunited with our luggage, even offered to have family help us get it delivered from the airport. Vanessa was just amazing all throughout—I can honestly say our trip would have been a disaster without her. Instead we have happy memories of a trip with our kids! I highly recommend Vanessa to anyone wanting to go to Disney/Universal. So many times during our trip, I said, “thank goodness for Vanessa!”

Best one to work with. She did not mind early morning calls from me with questions from Disney. Even helped explain how to download the photos after the trip when I was having issues and helped make sure a package was mailed to our resort when we were there. Great service!
