Disney and Universal Specialist
Disney Cruise 2019 in the Bahamas
Hello, My name is Dan Rossi.
I live in the Chicagoland area and I've been a full time Firefighter/Paramedic for 14 years for the City of Joliet. While I love my job, my shift schedule allows me to be home 2 out of every 3 days. As a result, I decided to pursue my love of Disney and Travel and joined Jamie and Away with Me Travel at the beginning of 2019.
I have been married to my beautiful wife Jen for almost 19 years. We have 3 energetic boys. Owen (16), Finn (13) and Emmett (10). I also have a daughter, Bridget (24). Best part of my family is that they love Disney almost as much as I do. Planning the ultimate Disney Vacation is what i love to do. My family and I have spent a lot of time on Disney Property and have experienced a lot of what Disney has to offer both in and out of the parks. From attractions to entertainment, Resorts to shopping, and the food.....Oh the food.
As a result, I would definitely say that Disney is my specialty. I have graduated from Disney's training program called Disney's College of Knowledge. In addition, I have also completed Universal's Agent program along with agent programs for numerous Cruise Lines and a number of all inclusive resorts in the Caribbean and Mexico.I am a certified Sandals and Beaches specialist as well as being an SNG Certified Accessible Travel Advocate. I am also a member of the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA).
When planning your vacation, i will be with you every step of the way. From the initial booking to planning every intricate detail of your trip. From your departure to your destination to your arrival back home. I will always be a phone call or text away. While my services are free, I believe that the time we spend together planning your vacation will be invaluable. I look forward to making you and your families next getaway one you will never forget.

Dan was wonderful to work with! This was our first all inclusive trip, and first time going out of the country. I was nervous, but Dan assured me, everything would be great, and it was! He took the stress of planning and organizing away. It was the BEST vacation I’ve ever been on! It was perfect!

Even better the second time!
Reviewed By Lady and the Tramp - Minooka, IL | Traveled to Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
Our return to Disney World was even better than out first experience. Dan Rossi organized and planned our first trip to Disney World last year. He took the time to explain everything before we needed to make decisions and offered so many tips and secrets to consider before booking. Dan made sure we had nothing to worry about. We had a great time. This year, we returned for our second trip. Again, we worked with Dan and he came through once more. We were were looking to spend more time enjoying the Flower and Garden celebration. Dan made sure we knew the best kiosks and food booths to go to, and more tips to give us the best experience. With more attractions returning to Disney, Dan was quick to get us a table for Hoop Dee Do Revue and secure us a prime spot for the "Fantasmic" show.
I hear many people talk about how planning a Disney trip can be stressful and make the trip less enjoyable, but I feel the exact opposite because of Dan. I cannot recommend him enough

Dan IS the man!
Reviewed By dmads26 - Minooka, IL | Traveled to Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
This review is three years in the making. Dan started working with my wife and I to plan a trip Disney World in 2018. When Covid shut everything down, Dan made sure that no money was lost, deposits were taken care of etc. When things started reopening, we told Dan we were still planning to go, and Dan took it from there. He not only took care of reservations, tickets, and other necessities, he also took the time to personally meet with us, listen to what we wanted, and offered suggestions geared specifically for couples making their first trip to Disney. His restaurant recommendations were perfect. The tips and suggestions for "surviving" the park were incredibly helpful. Whether it was waking up early to make our dining reservations or making sure we had a premium room close to transportation, Dan's efforts and personal approach saved us money, time, and opportunities. Regardless of where or when we might go in the future, Dan will be the first person we call to help us plan.

Made Disney Even Better!
Reviewed By Becca - Edwards, IL | Traveled to Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
We haven't been to Disney World since Fast Passes became the norm and the thought of planning everything out was overwhelming, especially with a larger group. Dan was amazing! He listened to what interested us, what didn't, and knew what we should do/see that we didn't even realize we would like. Not only did he make the planning process much easier and save us money, but his planning and expertise allowed us to do things and eat places we wouldn't have thought to try on our own. And when we had random questions during our trip, he was always a text away! We will definitely use Dan in the future for our travel needs!
