Lauren Benson
Travel Agent, specializing in Disney Destinations
Hi there! I’m Lauren — and if you're looking to make the most of a magical adventure, you’ve come to the right place.
Originally from Tennessee, I’m a passionate world-traveller now living in Florida, a bohemian-soul, in love with the sights, sounds and flavors of the world!
Having first planned many (many!) vacations for my family of five — to Chicago, Walt Disney World, Yellowstone, Mexico, Jamaica, Charleston, Savannah, the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, cruising multiple cruise lines, Paris France, Disneyland, England, and so many other beautiful cities and places — I know first-hand what it takes to arrange all the pieces of a successful adventure. My early experiences, along with a drive and desire to put smiles on the faces of others, led me in 2017 to becoming a professional travel adviser, which I now enjoy on a full-time basis. Each year I learn exponentially, personally traveling to new destinations, brushing up on my knowledge of familiar locales, and continuing my education and expertise via on-site and virtual training and seminars, site-tours, conventions, and so much more — all so that I can book YOUR best vacation, time and time again.
In addition to being a graduate of Disney’s College of Knowledge, specializing in Disney Destinations, and affiliated with an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner with Gold Earmarked status, I'm also a Walt Disney World Annual Passholder and Disney Castaway Club Member. I'm also well-versed in European travel planning, a fully-qualified member of Universal’s Partner Community, and proudly credentialed with industry-standard IATA/IATAN.
Having me by your side ensures a smooth experience, with concierge-level attention to every detail, from securing your coveted dining and tour experiences, to best packing practices and cruise ship navigation. Your happiness is my ultimate aim, and I work tirelessly to ensure your have the MOST magical vacation.
When you’re ready to explore the world — Mexico, Hawaii, Europe, Universal Orlando Resort, or the Disney parks — I’d love nothing more than to work with you!
I plan the Magic — you make the Memories. :)

Here's what a few of my clients have to say ...

"Lauren booked our vacation to the Smoky mountains and she found such a beautiful cabin for us. When we weren’t out enjoying Gatlinburg and the Pigeon Forge area, we were having pool tournaments and watching the stunning view from our balcony ... Lauren was so helpful and also gave us great recommendations for food. I can’t wait for her to plan our next family vacation!" - Ashley
"Lauren did all of the work to make our Disney vacation happen. She booked our resort, got up early to snag all our coveted dining reservations. Y'all, she was on top of every little detail, And her customer service is the best! I'd recommend her to anyone! Having an amazing travel planner like Lauren on your side will definitely simply your life." - Evie
