Amazing Christmas Trip
Reviewed By Kari - Freeport Florida | Traveled to Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
Deann is the most amazing travel agent we have worked with! She made everything extra magical for our kiddos and really helped me with things that would help navigating Disney with a child who has Autism. She was on top of dining reservations and was able to get everything we wanted! She even got us reservations to savi’s exactly when we wanted them

Best travel agent ever!!
Reviewed By Sarah Kernell - Lafayette, TN | Traveled to Universal Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA
She made everything so much easier on my family. Getting ready for a trip is stressful, but she took such a load off my plate that allowed me to focus on other things to prepare. Plus she is so friendly and puts her whole heart into her job. 10/10 would recommend!!

Beaches Turks & Caicos
I've been fortunate to experience many unforgettable vacations as a travel advisor, but one that truly stands out is a short, but amazing, trip to Beaches Turks & Caicos. I traveled with another agent, and although we were "working" we had the most amazing time. I experienced so many firsts, including snorkeling, aqua trikes, and hobie cats! I c...

I couldn't be happier!
After we moved to FL, we had annual passes for a while and looooved it! But we missed the resort trips/experiences we did as a family, too! We always wanted to try the Pirates of the Caribbean or Princess and the Frog themed rooms, but it never really worked out. Enter Deann Claude with a pocket full of pixie dust combined with her Fairy Godmother powers! She helped us with reservations for the Pirates of the Caribbean room AND helped us save money in the process! I love love love to be able to count on her to make the best of our time when we are in our happy place! I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Magical Wishes and the assistance of my sweet friend (and travel planner )! Thank you for helping us stay MAGICAL!

She's a Godsend!
Deann with Magical Wishes Travel is a blessing for all of my solo trips. After not going to WDW since 2010 I really felt lost and she answered all of my questions and scheduled all of my trips which came out to be four times in a year and a half. LOL!! We are currently working on a trip to Disneyland in September and she’s a Godsend once again. Thanks Deann!!
Anna W, Hermitage TN
Very Grateful!
Magical Wishes Travel with Deann made booking my first trip to Disney so easy. We had 7 people to plan for and Deann Claude made it happen. She answered all my questions before, during, and even after our trip. I was kept up to date with the happenings going on at Disney and the covid updates. She gave lots of dining suggestions and advice on how to snag a reservations. She handled everything for us. We just had to show up. We were very grateful for all her help. I was so pleased that I have already booked my next trip to Disney thru her.
