Shannon was very quick to respond even while on the vacation. She made adjustments and made reservations quickly. She was always available to answer questions and help.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends

AMAZING trip, Cannot wait to go back!

Reviewed By Allyson - Indian Land, SC | Traveled to Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
Working with Shannon was like having her on our trip as a guide from beginning to end! We had never taken our kids to Disney and hadn’t been since childhood and things are very different now. Shannon was the consummate professional in explaining to us how it all works and what her role would be prior to the trip and throughout. She booked all our reservations, gave us options for our budget as far as accommodations, and also booked cool excursions and experiences within the parks we didn’t know existed (Droid building was our boys’ favorite activity! We also LOVED Oga’s Cantina at Hollywood Studios, it felt like you were in the Star Wars movie!) and gave us detailed itineraries to use before and during the trip. Any issues we ran into (which were few and far between) Shannon handled swiftly and efficiently. On park days she checked on us frequently and directed us towards rides, shows, and activities that didn’t have long wait times so we could take full advantage of the parks!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends
Shannon McCauley responded:
Allyson, the joy and excitement in the eyes of your boys is part of my "why". Seeing how excited they were when they found out you were going, that special moment we had where they learned about pin trading, the meeting of Jack Sparrow --- it is all the reason why I love doing this, and I'm so grateful for the chance to have seen all those special moments you documented so well! I can't wait to plan for the Wizarding World with you next!

Shannon McCauley responded:
Shari, you and Bob are SO much fun and I genuinely enjoyed planning your special vacation with you! You sending me photos throughout your visit was so special to me, and made me feel like I was really there getting to experience it all with you, through your eyes. If I ever could, I would love to share a Disney day with you both! Thank you again, and I look forward to planning with you in the future!

Best Trip Ever!!

Reviewed By Darlenne - San Diego, CA | Traveled to Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA
We absolutely loved working with Shannon. She helped us every step of the way. This was our first big trip and we knew nothing about staying on property and visiting the parks. She sent us links, reviews, tips for booking the flights, dining reservation instructions/tips and so much more. She answered all of our questions in a timely manner even with the time difference. She even helped us the day of our flight when it was unexpectedly cancelled (during the height of the Omnicrom variant). She checked in on us, gave Genie+ tips and cheered us on when we managed to get boarding passes for those hot ticket rides. Our experience was perfect not only because of her knowledge of the parks but because she really cared and took the time to invest in our trip/family. I would 100% recommend her to family and friends. We look forward to working with her for many trips to come!!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends
Shannon McCauley responded:
DarIenne, to say I am thankful to have connected with you would be an understatement. Your family is so special, and I respect how much weight you put on quality time and experiencing things together. I am grateful to have this meaningful relationship with you all now and look forward to the many wonderful trips we will plan together!

Another Awesome Trip to Walt Disney World

Reviewed By Karen - Charlotte, NC | Traveled to Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
I am a returning customer of Shannon's and I will continue to work with her for as long as she will have me! We have just completed our 3rd visit to Walt Disney World with Shannon acting as our Fairy Godmother. She is so fun to work with, and she never makes me feel bad when I ask a million questions or ask if we can try to alter a plan. As a matter of fact, Shannon is just as excited as we are when she is able to secure a ride, an experience, or a coveted dining reservation. She feels like part of the family throughout the trip, and I find myself texting her pictures so she knows how much joy she is bringing to me and my family. We have worked with Shannon on a non-theme park trip as well, and even though our plans fell through due to busy kid schedules, we received the same attention and awesomeness that I have come to equate with Shannon McCauley!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends
Shannon McCauley responded:
Karen, I am genuinely touched by your kind words and thrilled to hear that this Walt Disney World experience was also filled with so much joy and magic. It is an absolute pleasure planning with you, and I sincerely enjoy being a part of your family's travel adventures. I am beyond grateful for the trust you've placed in me, and I'm always looking forward to our future planning endeavors together. Thank you for allowing me to be your Fairy Godmother in the world of travel.

Best Travel Agent

Reviewed By Shawn L. - Charlotte, NC | Traveled to Florida ~ USA
Shannon is amazing! I would recommend her to everyone I know. She made our Disney trip extra magical. She is incredibly knowledgeable of the parks, hotels, dining and events.

She would check in with us throughout the day at the parks and even helped us book our lighting lanes, fast passes and virtual queues. No matter when I text her, she responded almost immediately to help with any questions or issues I had. You can tell she loves what she does and is incredibly good at it. 5 Stars!! I will never plan another Disney vacation without the help of Shannon.

Shannon, took the time and commitment to help my wife and I find a wonderful vacation. My wife and I had not taken a vacation in 7 years so this was important. There was a lot of chaos my wife encountered on our end, but Shannon with a lot of patience was supportive and most importantly very responsive. Thank you so much for the amazing service you provided us.

Absolute Best Disney Planner!

Reviewed By Annie - Charlotte, NC | Traveled to Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
Shannon not only helped to craft and book the most magical vacation for our family that was so perfectly customized for our goals, but she also continued to help us through our stay with a level excitement and service that FAR exceeded my expectations. She helped to actively manage our reservations and get reservations on rides when our prospects looked bleak. Shannon was our little bit of extra fairy dust. Absolutely phenomenal. We would be lucky to get to work with her again and will absolutely send all our friends her way.

Disney and Universal Family Vacation!

Reviewed By Donna - Chesapeake Beach, MD | Traveled to Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA
Shannon assisted our family with a Disney World and Universal trip during spring break in April 2023. Shannon was absolutely amazing from start to finish. She promptly responded to each of my e-mails during the booking process (and I had many questions!). She provided so much detail in each response, and really took the time to understand all of our needs. During the trip, we texted multiple times each day. Shannon made all of our Genie+ ride reservations, dining reservations, helped us get into virtual queues for multiple rides, and answered so many miscellaneous questions along the way! During one of our phone calls before the trip, Shannon told me she feels like she is IN the park with the families who book with her, and we felt that way too. She helped us so much, it felt like she was right there with us, each day/at every park. We are so grateful for all her expertise and we will definitely be booking with Shannon again!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends
Shannon McCauley responded:
Donna, this review made my day and I am so grateful for your kind words and the time you took to share your experience working with me! I strive to provide the best service possible, and I am over the moon to hear you felt this before and during your visit! I had so much fun planning this spring break trip with your family and would love nothing more than to continue to plan with you in the future! Thank you for trusting and supporting me!

A Birthday Trip To Remember For Our Little Guy

Reviewed By Melissa N. - Charlotte, NC | Traveled to Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA
We worked with Shannon to plan a trip to Disney World to celebrate our son's 4th bday. Boy, did we need her expertise and guidance! This was our 1st time planning a trip to Disney as adults on top of the pandemic. Shannon had answers to EVERY question - whether it was about park reservations, accommodations, COVID rules, restaurants, height requirements, etc. She created a custom itinerary that met the needs of our entire party (grandparents, parents, and our son) and provided great recommendations for our time in the parks -- even suggesting the flow of our day. When we faced hotel check-in issues with one of our rooms (not at ALL Shannon's fault), she took it upon herself to work with the hotel team and we were blown away with how it was addressed. We came home from the park the next day to complimentary gift baskets and personal notes from the team. Shannon was great at checking in with us throughout our trip and after our return. Can't wait for our next trip!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends
Shannon McCauley responded:
Melissa, I can't thank you enough for trusting me with your travel and taking the time to share your experience! I thoroughly enjoyed planning with your family and loved all the moments you shared!

The Best Family Vacation We've Ever Had

Reviewed By Andi - Draper, UT | Traveled to Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
Shannon helped me plan an epic Disney vacation for my family. All we had to do was give her the dates we wanted to travel and she pretty much did EVERYTHING else! She chose our resort, created a very thorough and detailed itinerary and was available to answer any questions we had. During the trip, she was even available to help me make dinner reservations! We had the trip of a lifetime and I truly believe it was because we used Shannon. We STILL talk about this being the best family trip we've ever had. I highly recommend you use her for your travel planning needs. We will definitely be using her again!!
