Luxury Travel Advisor • Finding Magic in Travel
Adventures by Disney Seine River Cruise
My appreciation for all things Disney started early in my childhood, with annual family trips to Disneyland in California. Since then, I have come to love Walt Disney World in Florida, become a platinum Castaway Club member with Disney Cruise Line, experienced the luxury of Adventures by Disney family vacations, and even spent a wonder-filled weekend exploring Disneyland Paris!
I specialize in concierge level, club level, and VIP experiences, and am always exploring opportunities to enjoy the finer side of Disney.
I also believe that travel is truly a way to find magic in the real world, and I can help your family make magical memories almost anywhere!
When I'm not helping to plan magical vacations for my wonderful clients, my husband and I own a charming little seaside restaurant, and I am a librarian and admitted bibliophile. I live in coastal Connecticut with my husband, teen daughter, and way too many pairs of Mickey ears.

Reviewed By Sharp Family - Guilford, CT | Traveled to Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
Kaley was wonderful to work with! She was extremely helpful and genuinely excited about all of our plans. She made the trip much more magical then if I had taken on all of the planning myself! And she made my son’s first trip one of the most magical vacations we have ever been on.

living our best life
Reviewed By Ashley - Charlotte, NC | Traveled to Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
Kaley is amazing - there is no other way to describe her. Sure she is responsive, helpful, knowledgeable - everything you expect in a travel agent. Of course she booked our Disney World hotel and dinning reservations, but she also had to change it several times, figure out how to accommodate our dog, answer a million questions before and during our trip and celebrate the special moments with our family! She is now helping me with 4 more trips (not all Disney) and more importantly, being a great example of living life to the fullest with the people you love the most!!

Best Trip of my Life!!!!
Reviewed By Dee - Chicago, Il | Traveled to Playa Mujeres ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
I have found my perfect TA! I am very particular and an insane planner and am almost embarrassed to say I expect perfection when it comes to planning my trips. Kaley is beyond superb with dotting her I’s and crossing her T’s. She replies instantly and is so beyond organized. I almost felt like I was her only client and that’s honestly the best feeling! I feel so important and even after the trip was done - she reached out for a follow up. No one has ever done that. I will NEVER book any trip anywhere without her.

Kaley made our trip the magical experience it was! We had the most magical time in Disney and a lot of that was thanks to Kaley! We had certain request that were important to us and kaley showed us how to maximize our trip to accomplish those.

The custom gift upon arrival was so thoughtful and kind and made ours kids so happy! This was a trip i was so stressed about and ended it ready to plan the next one.
