Working with Karen, made planning our Universal, Islands of Adventure, and Volcano Bay a breeze! She did ALL of the work for us. I only had to answer questions regarding our budget, needs for the week, and she did the rest!!!!
Karen is extremely professional, detail-oriented, and has incredible time management skills, all of which are a must when it comes to allowing a Travel Agent to plan your Family Vacation! I highly recommend allowing Karen Moore to help plan your next Vacation Destination.

We (I) would have been completely lost and FULL of anxiety for our first trip to Disney if it wasn't for Karen. She basically held our hand the entire time. She made me feel so prepared BEFORE we even got there. Once we arrived she was on point with every question that we had. I'll never schedule a vacation without Karen! Client for life here!!

Such an amazing trip!
Reviewed By Krista - Millers Creek, NC | Traveled to Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
Karen walked me through every step of the way, she answered every question we had (which was a lot lol) and she even met us for lunch to go over the app and everything else I wasn’t certain about. She went above and beyond!

If you’re looking for a Disney planner, go with Karen!!! I did not know it wouldn’t cost me a thing to use her services and I did not know how easy it would be planning a trip with a pro!!!

    Client Testimonials

    Three Times a Charm!
    We've always wanted to travel to Disney World just to visit the various resorts and restaurants. Karen found us the best resort to stay in and was able to secure reservations at the restaurants we wanted to experience. She even gave us detailed instructions to maneuver the various transportation options and connections so we could see everything and make our reservation times. But Karen went above and beyond to help us when we had to cancel our trip 2 times, once due to sickness and once due to our flight canceling. Both times, she immediately was on the phone with Disney, transferring our reservations. The day of our flight cancellation, she was in constant contact with us, monitoring our flight information. We never felt alone or helpless. Karen is very conscientious. You can count on her to work out the details of your trip and is very available to assist in any way when unforeseen things pop up, as in our case. I recommend her services highly.

    Cruising Made Easy!
    Working with Karen was a breeze! She is full of knowledge and eager to answer any and all questions. She is organized and breaks the steps down to make decisions easy and fun! She provided us with the perfect boat for our family vacation (because boy was I overwhelmed with the amount of boats!) and always finds us the best deals possible. Any time we ponder a vacation, my first message is to Karen!
