Disney, Universal, All-Inclusive and Cruise Agent
Johns Hopkins Glacier, Glacier Bay, Alaska
Hey everyone! My name's Shannon and I'm from Northeast Philadelphia PA, currently living in Lansdale, PA. I caught the travel bug at a young age, and as I get older the bug keeps biting harder and harder! In fact, I have been a de-facto travel agent for family and friends since high school!
Since I graduated from college, I've been to Walt Disney World over twenty times as an Annual Passholder, Disney's Aulani Resort and Spa in Ko Olina, Hawaii and Disneyland. At WDW, I have stayed in every resort level and love to try all the different food Disney has to offer. As for events- I have been to every Festival, and special holiday party that Disney offers.
I am a Universal Orlando Annual Passholder as well and have stayed on site multiple times in a variety of resort levels, ridden every single ride in the parks, experienced CityWalk and many of the on site restaurants and bars. I also had the opportunity to experience Universal Studios Hollywood in 2023.
Within the last few years- I have taken on a new love of cruising and have cruised extensively through the Caribbean and Alaska on Norwegian, Royal Caribbean and Disney Cruise Lines.
I am able to create all-inclusive packages at many of the top resorts in the market today.
No matter what you are looking for- chances are I have personally experienced many of the options, and even if I haven't I probably have planned for it and know the pros/ cons.

Fabulous trip
Reviewed By Satisfied customer - Eagleville, PA | Traveled to Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
I’ll start this by saying I’m not a big Disney guy, but Shannon did a wonderful job planning a trip that both my girlfriend, who is a Disney nut, and I both enjoyed thoroughly. It was the perfect balance between park time and relaxation time. Her knowledge of when and where to do fast passes saved countless hours every day. My favorite part of all were her food recommendations. Big fan of Crystal palace for breakfast and the Hawaiian steakhouse for dinner. Recommend 10/10

First Disney Trip with Kids: A Dream Come True
Reviewed By Gwendolyn - Granger, Iowa | Traveled to Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
Our family had a lot of demands for this trip including hard to get dining reservations, picky lodging requirements, and lots of questions about the genie+ and lightning lane updates in Disney. Shannon was attentive and thorough from start to finish. She listened to our preferences and combined them with her vast Disney knowledge to provide impeccable guidance and help us secure our dream line up of reservations. We had an issue with our resort room reservation (due to Disney construction) just a couple of days prior to leaving for our trip and Shannon was communicating with Disney to find a solution within hours. The solution she negotiated was the most incredible suite I've ever seen. I cannot recommend Shannon enough!

Working with Shannon was the easiest travel booking I have ever had! She explained things in a way travelers of every level could easily understand...from different room categories, excursion packages, airfare, and even payment plans. To make the experience even better, she continuously finds added discounts months after! Shannon makes planning a vacation a vacation in itself, she is an agent on your side!

Most magical trip EVER!
Reviewed By Kirstyn - Philadelphia, PA | Traveled to Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA
- [ ] Let me start off by saying that Shannon managed to plan our trip under extreme time constraints (we planned our trip two weeks before departure) which was a miracle to begin with. She made everything as easy as possible for us and had so much insight and helpful tips for navigating Disney. She also answered every one of my million questions all while she was on vacation herself! She is the most selfless, caring, and knowledgeable travel guide I have ever worked with! Shannon even made sure to check in on us while we were in Disney and offered her assistance throughout our trip. I would recommend her to any and all of my friends and family. I already can’t wait to use her services for our next Disney trip! Thanks again Shannon!! Sending lots of love and hugs from the Varas family!

Working with Shannon felt to me like I had a family member trying to help me plan my Disney holiday. She was so personable and helpful. Such a wealth of knowledge made me feel very comfortable and at ease with my booking. I’m in Cape Town South Africa and to be so far away makes it’s daunting but Shannon walks you through every step and every detail. Answering all my millions of questions at all times without making me feel terrible. I can not recommend her enough, honestly she was fantastic!
