Client testimonial for Lynne
"Even though I have been to WDW many times, Lynne has added so much help and insight that we will be calling again as a matter of fact, I'd like to arrange a big trip with my family and extended family for my 60th birthday ( Sept 2020 )
April took the stress out of planning!
"April was very helpful in planning our magical vacation. She knew the common questions and even the not so common questions and answered them all before we had a chance to ask. Throughout the whole process she was very responsive to our needs. Definitely took the stress out of planning an amazing vacation."
Lynne & Sian went above and Beyond!
"Thank you so much Lynne and Sian for all your help. You went above and beyond and made our trip truly magical! I love all the little extras you treated us with. You were a pleasure to work with and we will gladly recommend you to others!"
Lynne made planning fun!
"Lynne was very professional and always available. She continuously answered my myriad of questions and provided us with great information. She would get back to me quickly if she needed to research a question for me. Our vacation wouldn't have been as magical without her expertise. Planning a vacation is always stressful but Coasters & Castles Travel, LLC made the process fun!"

Client review of Agent Kara Brown
•Our whole family had a wonderful, memory-making trip to Universal Studios. Kara Brown was so helpful! She answered all our questions in a timely manner. She even provided each of us with a lanyard for our tickets. I give her and universal an A+. We loved it and will call her for our next family vacation".
Client review of Agent Kara Brown
"Kara was great to work with planning a large multi family vacation. She provided excellent tips and info. She made sure our travel was seamless. Our rooms were all beside each other as well. She provided a nice touch with lanyards for all 17 of us. That saved us $$$ because we would have purchased them as they were a necessity! We will definitely work with Kara again!"
Client review of Agent Robin Wright
"Will never go to Disney without using Robin!"
Client review of Agent Kara Brown
"Coasters & Castles, Kara Brown vacation specialist, did an excellent job with our large family, party of 17, vacation to Universal Studios. If you are thinking about booking travel on your own, don't. The service was excellent and competitively priced. I will definitely be using the service again. Thanks!"
Client review of Agent Eric Crowe
"My family and of course myself went to Disney world and it was absolutely amazing. (I’ll be planning another trip in 2023) thanks to Eric Crowe for helping (basically did everything) plan this trip. If it wasn’t for you, it wouldn’t have been easy Peasy as it was! Everything was worth every penny! We even started up on the Disney pin trading fun."
