Disney Destinations & Universal Resorts Specialist
My name is Hunter Halbert, and I am an indpendent travel agent with A Pair of Ears Travel. I live in Houston, Texas, and I came to the world of travel planning after 12+ years in radio and almost six years working at a non-profit conservation-based zoo.
Like many, I have been a long-time Disney fan, growing up on the classic films and first visiting Walt Disney World as a child in the 1980s. After years of visits to the Walt Disney World Resort & Disneyland Resort, I am excited to share my love of planning Disney vacations with you and your families. I will help you decide where to stay, provide recommendations on dining and secure advanced reservations, and advise where to find the best churro or savory treat. I cover all the details so you can sit back & relax – as vacations were meant to be enjoyed!
In addition to specializing in planning the most magical visits to Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort, I can also help you plan a voyage on the Disney Cruise Line or a Hawaiian getaway to Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa in Ko Olina. I also have extensive experience at Universal Resorts, Sea World, and destinations in Southern California, Hawaii, and all Hilton, Hyatt, and Marriott brands. I can also help you plan a voyage with Celebrity Cruises, Royal Caribbean, and Virgin Voyages. My services are free to you, and I look forward to helping you make travel memories that will last a lifetime. Contact me today to get started with your free quote!

Okay! Okay! Okay! So we got to be a Star Wars! We. Got. To. Be. A. Star Wars! We could not have done it without my man, Hunter with A Pair of Ears Travel! Literally, every single thing that we wanted to do, he helped make happen. From reservations to tricks and tips, he is 100% the way to go! Between teaching, coaching, directing, working, trying to live a life, we needed all the help we could get, and he made this trip happen. Hunter is our Travel Jedi; the Force is strong with this one. I cannot recommend enough. May the Spires keep you!(Also, we did all the other Disney World parks, which were also a breeze with Hunter's help, but I know who I am. I know my priorities. ?? Next up, Galactic Starcruiser!)
