Travel Planner Specializing in Disney Destinations
Amanda and Cinderella Castle at Walt Disney World
I've always loved planning a vacation nearly as much as I enjoy experiencing the trip itself! I love working with families and helping them create travel plans that are as unique as they are. Creating travel memories as a family promotes a lifelong bond and those moments are never forgotten. I also really enjoy planning parent getaways and mom trips (AKA Momcations). We all love our families, but getting away and finding moments and memories to recharge is so important. Taking time to reconnect with a partner, and yourself, is something I feel passionate about.
Growing up, my family and I would often take trips to explore different US states. As I got older, my sense of adventure and exploration blossomed and the Caribbean and Europe destinations pulled me in and kept me coming back. When I started going to Disney as an adult (both before and after becoming a parent), I found a feeling that filled my heart with joy and magic. My goal as your travel planner is to help you and your loved ones find that feeling too, whether it's at Disney or anywhere across the globe!
Enchanted journeys await...

She also has a gem of a personality and her excitement for travel shines through in all of our communications. She found and secured our resort, flights and transfers. Awesome service!

Amazing First Vacation!
Reviewed By Anna Mae - Broad Brook, CT | Traveled to Universal Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA
We had never gone on a real vacation to a resort before so I did not know what to expect and was a bit nervous, but Amanda made the whole process super smooth and stress free! She took time to work with me and figure out what we wanted for the trip, she was quick to answer the many questions we had and was awesome about gathering information and walking us through the process. We felt well-prepared by the time the trip approached and I cannot thank her enough for the massive amount of help she gave so that we could do this, it was incredible and we’re hoping to go again in the future! I highly recommend Amanda to anyone looking to plan a trip, whether it be for the first time or the tenth. Thank you so much again!

Amanda is intelligent, organized, and always so positive. She's a pleasure to work with and plan trips with and stays on top of everything. When we had flight delays she was already on it, adjusting our shuttle transport and really helped take away the stress that comes with travel hiccups and flying these days. Amanda is the best!

Vacation of a lifetime!
Reviewed By Kimmie - Albuquerque, NM | Traveled to Cancun ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
She took the pressure off of us and put it on herself to make sure we had the best vacation - stress-free planning, I might add! We were very indecisive as to where we wanted to go. After several "trips around the world" pricing packages, we finally picked Cancun. It was the most affordable and bang for our buck. Amanda did the heavy lifting and she managed it with such grace and positivity ensuring we have the most amazing time! She is on point and very impressively organized. She did what she said she was going to do all the way through the process. I will absolutely use her again!
