About Me

Walt Disney World
Walt Disney World

With over a decade of experience specializing in Disney destinations, I am your go-to expert for seamless vacation planning. Armed with unparalleled knowledge and a dedication to exceptional service, I will ensure that every aspect of your Disney vacation is meticulously planned for a stress-free experience.

Having meticulously planned hundreds of Walt Disney World vacations, I am adept at navigating the complexities of vacation planning, providing clients with comprehensive details and insider tips to maximize their experience. Having personally stayed at nearly every resort onsite, I offer invaluable insights to help clients select accommodations tailored to their unique needs.  As a frequent visitor to the parks, I stay up-to-date with the latest changes and updates, ensuring clients benefit from the most advantageous discounts and packages available.

Whether it's individual families, multi-generational groups, single travelers, adults-only getaways, or couples, I offer personalized planning services to suit every traveler.

Beyond Walt Disney World, I also share firsthand experiences and expert advice on Disneyland in California, enriching clients' visits to this iconic destination.

Additionally, I bring a wealth of knowledge from visits to Disneyland Paris, offering clients a unique perspective and invaluable insights for planning their vacations.

In addition to theme park vacations, I specialize in pairing Disney experiences with more extensive touring options, including Disney Cruise Line and Adventures by Disney, to create unforgettable and seamlessly integrated vacations for clients.

Love Disneyworld
Reviewed By Jiminnie - Mass | Traveled to Florida ~ USA
Gina has booked my last 5-6 trips to Disneyworld for me. She is professional and returns my emails promptly. Also she very patient with me when I change my dates or resorts. We are in the middle of booking a January 2025 trip right now.

Three times delayed-Gina got us there
Reviewed By McKat - Rochester, NY | Traveled to Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
Gina has been fantastic for top of the line support for our regular vacations. Including keeping us up to date and new deals, and things that might affect our trip. But where she really shone for us was when we had to cancel a vacation for deaths in the family and then getting us rebooked including transfering special event tickets. It was complicated both because of changes on our end and with Disney and she saw us through every turn and got use there. A good travel agent can make your trip better, but a great travel agent is one you can count on when things don't go well- this is why I always recommend Gina.

The absolute BEST Travel Agent!
Reviewed By Winston - Massachusetts | Traveled to Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
I was never a fan of the idea of a Travel Agent as I like to have control over my travel plans. However, that all changed when I found Gina...

She only takes care of whatever it is you need for her to take care of. Have the entire trip already figured out and just need someone to help with booking? She will set you up instantly AND let take care of any potential future discounts. Don't know exactly what you want to do but have an idea of where you want to go? She has a wealth of resources and first-hand experience to help. Having her by our side when planning our trips have made our lives easier.

I came for her expertise when planning a particular Disney World trip for 8, but are sticking around for years to come for her incredible responsiveness and support for all of our trips!
