About Me

Heading to the parks!
Heading to the parks!

Travelling with my family to Disney Destinations has been amazing!  From the time the kids were little, they have felt the magic and been filled with wonder.  No matter how old we get, that feeling never goes away!  I have been a Disney Destinations Specialist since 2019 and have stayed at most of the resorts at Walt Disney World and have also sailed with Disney Cruise Line.  We've been to all of the Theme Parks and Castaway Cay (Disney's Private Island in the Bahamas).  We've eaten at so many of the restaurants, been to Halloween and Christmas events, and have also taken part in some "magical extras".  I can give guidance for your vacation from personal experience but ALWAYS have my clients best vacation top of mind.  I don't want my clients to experience my perfect vacation, I want them to experience THEIR perfect Disney Vacation.  As each family is different, so should their Disney Vacation be.  Contact me today and let's make some magic!

So much family fun. Great quick getaway!
Reviewed By Kristen - St. Catharines, ON | Traveled to Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA
Karen was super responsive and patient with us! She sent some really great options. I never would have thought to venture to our destination with the kids - but it was perfect! Super suitable! She was there when we had questions and responded timely. Christmas holidays are filled with so much hustle and the flight was the smoothest, on time, seamless!!! There wasn't the hassle I was expecting at Universal or the airport. She truly selected the best options base don what we were looking for! Definitely will book through Karen again!

Great destination for busy working parents to unwi
Reviewed By Kelly1978 - Caledonia, Ontario | Traveled to Cancun | Quintana Roo | Mexico
Our party of 10 escaped to Breathless Resort in Cancun Mexico. What a blast for all of us to unwind. Buffet was ok but the restaurants on the resort had excellent food. The entertainment was 10 out of 10. The beach had a lot of seaweed but the views of the ocean were beautiful. Would definitely recommend to others. Working with Karen was easy and actually very informative. She gave tips on a travel plans that really helped during our 4 night vacation. We are using Karen's services again in November 2025. Definitely recommend using her for a flawless trip experience.
Karen Desanti responded
"Kelly, Thank you for your kind words! I'm so glad you had such a great time away - a well deserved break:) Looking forward to November, Karen"

Dream Wedding!
Reviewed By Bry - Orillia, Ontario | Traveled to Punta Cana | Dominican Republic | Caribbean
From the get-go of our destination wedding planning, Karen was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, making lots of recommendations based on our needs. She handled everything for our guests, who had multiple departure locations/countries and made everything super easy for us as the bride and groom. We loved working with Karen and will definitely do so again in the future!
