Courtney Wilson
Themeparks, Cruises, & Global Adventures Expert
I'm Courtney - a wife, mama, and a Travel Advisor. I have had a passion for travel my entire life. So when family and friends started encouraging me to become a travel agent due to my penchant for planning, I had to listen! My specialties are Themeparks, cruises, and curated specialty adventure packages world-wide. I'm here to help you turn that dream vacation into a reality. It's time to check off those trips at the top of your bucketlist!
Let's talk Disney Destinations...
I've traveled to Disney Destinations countless times throughout my life. Walt Disney World - my home park - feels like it could be my hometown with how familiar it has become. I have stayed in every on property resort type and even in off property vacation rentals. Favorite deluxe? Disney's Contemporary Resort. Favorite Moderate? A royal room at Disney's Port Orleans Resort. Favorite Value? It's a toss-up between Disney's POP Century Resort for adults and Disney's Art of Animation Resort for families. I am the biggest advocate that Disney Destinations are for everyone! I have vacationed here as a child, teen, young couple, a pregnant and nursing mama, part of a girls' getaway, and even a member in a large multigenerational gathering. I have experienced the parks from every perspective, so I can plan the ultimate trip for every member of your travel party!
It was actually my husband that first encouraged me to consider this career path. After planning an adults only Walt Disney World trip in early 2020 (which he initially was skeptical to agree to), he couldn't stop talking about how much fun he had. He realized all the work I put in to help magic moments fall into place throughout the vacation. And I guess when your husband lists "planning" as one of your top talents... then you're well suited for working in the travel service industry.
Other Themeparks
I am a graduate of Universal U and certified on both the Hollywood and Orlando locations. These parks are about THRILLS! They are a perfect for adult-only trips or families with older kids (you know once they're "too cool" for The Mouse). If you haven't looked into Universal's Volcano Bay Waterpark, then you're missing out. They have revolutionized what you imagine a waterpark experience to be. No lines, no wallets, no worries!
I can also plan vacations to other attractions such as SeaWorld, Discovery Cove (an all-inclusive tropical paradise in Orlando), and more.
Cruises
Of course Disney Cruise Line falls under Disney Destinations. They offer nearly all the magic of the Themeparks with shows, characters, and a ton of fun to be had! I can also get you booked with other major cruise lines. My top two favorites are Norwegian Cruise Line and Royal Caribbean. I hold a masters degree in each one's respective training program. Which cruise line I recommend will be completely personalized to the needs, wants, and interests of your traveling party... consider me your "cruise matchmaker."
I have cruised with each one of these lines personally. My husband and I actually chose a cruise for our honeymoon back in 2019. (The Allure of the Seas will always hold a special place in our hearts). We love an all-inclusive, action packed adventure vacation! But the best thing about Cruising is that it can be whatever you make it. That's why it's perfect for large families. Grandparents can find respite in the library, mom can make a break to the spa, dad can grab a drink at the bar, the kiddos can enjoy the free children's club, older kids will love the teen lounge, the fun uncle can hit up the casino, OR everyone can splash around the pool together!
Global Bucketlist Adventures
I am trained and partnered with destinations around the globe. I am happy to help you plan the international vacation of your dreams. Whether that be an all-inclusive resort somewhere tropical, an African safari adventure, or a journey to the Artic! For me, I've crossed off eating frog legs in Paris, a VIP tour of Versailles, touring the chateaus and vineyards of the Loire Valley France... in Italy, I've made pasta by hand looking over the Umbrian countryside, drank wine in Tuscany, explored Rome with gelato in hand, and managed a tumble down the Spanish Steps. Haha! I work with local experts when creating your vacation package to ensure a smooth, stress-free trip. Consider this your sign to start crossing off the items on your bucketlist now. Life's too short - Take the trip - Make the memories.

Travel Educator
Adventuring in the Magic with Minnie
As a former teacher, I love learning! It has done me well in this industry. I've dedicated myself to continued training on every destination I may recommend to a client. This training may come through online certifications or in-person firsthand experience. The best part about learning all the best new travel industry jargon is that I can then come back and offer myself as a travel educator to you, my client. I'm here to answer any and every question you may have at any point in the vacation planning process. I've got tips, tricks, and knowledge to share. I don't want you to just book A trip... I want you to KNOW that we have curated a one-of-a-kind memorable and magical experience personalized for you!

Dream trip
Lejla, I'm so glad your vacation to Paris allowed your dreams to become reality. I loved planning this trip, and I'm honored you placed your trust in me. I can't wait to see all the adventures to come for your family! Thank you!
Magical memories made easy!
We were impressed by her professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine enthusiasm for creating the perfect travel experience for our family. Even though we travel to WDW frequently, it was such a relief knowing an agent was in our corner helping us maximize our experience, stay on top of important dates, and secure the best deals.
She even went above and beyond by spoiling our daughter for her 4th birthday while on the trip. We were greeted with a "happy birthday" message upon entering the room and Courtney sent the most adorable Disney chocolates to our resort to celebrate!
We've already requested her assistance with booking two other Disney trips in the future!
Thank you so much for the kind review. I loved working with you and following along as your family enjoyed the magic during your Disney trip! I can't wait for all the adventures the future has in store for you guys. Happy travels!
