Magical Disney Trip
Reviewed By Ai - Worcester, MA | Traveled to Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
She answered our questions fully. She has extensive knowledge of the parks and resorts. She helped us design a trip that was just right for our family. That was amazing. It did not feel like a "cookie-cutter" trip. It was the trip that was right for us. She also offered a variety of options that would work for us at different price points.She was in touch immediately when discounts became available. All that she offered was in the best of interest of making this a trip that would be good and enjoyable for our family. It was a true pleasure working with Chrissie. We are so grateful for her assistance. We would have been overwhelmed without her. I suspect our trip wouldn't have had half the magic it did if we hadn't had her assistance.

Disney Road Trip
Reviewed By NYsiobhan - Jersey City, NJ | Traveled to Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
Chrissie is so great to work with. We were planning a 5 day trip and wanted to hit all of the parks. My husband and I are very different travelers- he likes to see and do everything, while I like a slower pace. Chrissie knew exactly how to plan our week so we got to experience each park on their “ quietest” days. She then very patiently walked my husband through using the Disney app and how to use our fast passes so he could start planning our day even before we left the hotel. She gave great recommendations for dining as well- we had the best ice cream sundaes! No matter what kind of traveler you are, Chrissie can plan the right vacation for you.

Making Disney Magical
Reviewed By AthinaFascianella - Brooklyn, NY | Traveled to Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
Chrissie has planned my last 5 Disney World trips and I will continue to go back to her for all future trips we plan anywhere in the world. She has an impeccable attention to detail and she always gave us the absolute best advice. I have 2 vastly different sons in their interests and needs. She took the time for each trip to go over my options for them, and giving me the absolute best advice. Chrissie made the entire planning process seamless. I couldn't fathom going away without Chrissie's guidance and expertise.

We initially booked a trip with Chrissie for August 2021. When I had to cancel last minute due to an emergency, Chrissie helped me through every step. I was thrilled to rebook a trip with her for this past August. It was the first trip for me and my two girls. Everything was perfect! She made great suggestions and was available for questions and help before and during our trip. I can’t wait to book another trip with Chrissie soon!

Chrissie is AMAZING!
Reviewed By Randi C. - Huntington, NY | Traveled to Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA
Chrissie was absolutely incredible. I had never used a travel agent before when booking a Disney trip, and didn't think I needed one, but Chrissie came highly recommended. When we had a flight cancellation which resulted in us having to move the dates of the trip, Chrissie was able to rearrange everything by working some of her secret magic. Disney has a lot of new policies (including reservations for the parks), and the dates we had planned were fully booked over a spring break week. In all honesty I would not been able to achieve what Chrissie was able to via her network of contacts at Disney. She really made what would have likely been a total bust of a trip, an incredible time.

Most Memorable First Family Trip
Reviewed By Natalie - Staten Island, NY | Traveled to Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA
I was completely clueless on booking a trip to Disney and Chrissie was by far the most knowledgeable, helpful and professional source. She made planning our 1st trip to Disney seamless ,stress-free and actually pleasurable. She knows all the ins and outs of each park, ride and show. She takes all the guess work out and has your questions answered before you even ask them. Using Chrissie is a no brainer and I would never book another trip myself.
