Disney, Caribbean and Cruise Planner!
Let me help your family plan a magical vacation! I became a Travel Agent due to my love of travel. Friends would ask for assistance planning their own trips after hearing about my family vacations.
Disney is my first love, but my family is adventurous and we are always looking for new things to experience- it is through these experiences that I offer first-hand knowledge of a variety of destinations!
It is my goal to treat each client like family and ensure that they can spend their time on what's important- family and friends. I will worry about the details! Whether it is planning dining, excursions, transportation, and more- I am here to help.
Why book with me?

Authorized Disney Vacation Planners / Earmarked Disney Agency
Being Authorized Disney Vacation Planners, and an Earmarked Agency with the Disney Travel Company means that we have established ourselves as a reputable and trusted agency with Disney Destinations. Only the best agencies across the U.S. are awarded the Earmarked Designation. This is based on our sales performance, and demonstrated professionalism. We are held to the strictest standards and given specialized training opportunities and benefits that other agencies do not have access to. Going to Disney? Go with the BEST to get the most out of your vacation.
No Gimmicks/No Bait and Switch
Sometimes you may see a price that's "just too good to be true". Well, it probably is. Who hasn't thought they found an AWESOME deal, merely to proceed to the check-out screen, and see the price skyrocket with taxes, fees, and additional charges. In addition, that "Super Saver" room you may be booking online via Expedia, etc.. is normally the least desirable room on the property. The newest, most updated, and renovated rooms are reserved for travel suppliers booked via Travel Agencies (like MMV). Resorts have contracts guaranteeing a certain level of room when we book your vacation package with our trusted suppliers. What happens to those old rooms at the back of the resort, facing the parking lot? Yeah.. they get sold to Expedia and Travelocity. You won't have to worry about what you are getting when we book your package. Pricing always includes taxes, and we only book with our reputable, tried and tested, suppliers.
Personalized Service
Why trust your vacation to a generic call center? What's the difference between booking with an online travel company (Orbitz, Expedia, etc..) and MMV? SERVICE! You will have ONE person to deal with. ONE person accountable for your vacation. ONE person to handle all the details, questions, and follow-up. Nothing is worse then booking a vacation and having added stress and hassles dealing with a nameless person in a call center who doesn't know you, and isn't familiar with your reservation. There's no benefit to you, the customer, to pay the same price (or more) for generic impersonal service, when you can have one of our qualified and knowledgeable agents working for you personally.
Price Matching
Seen a better price online? Please give us the chance to meet or beat it! Simply forward your MMV agent your price quote. We are able to match prices on *most other suppliers, such as: Expedia, Orbitz, Travelocity, etc.. So you win! You get the best price, PLUS the service of a travel professional. We realize everyone wants a the BEST PRICE for their vacation. And not only can we give you that, we can give you one point of contact for any questions, changes, suggestions, etc.. You are not alone when you book with MMV.
