Magic Kingdom 2021 Family Trip
Magic Kingdom 2021 Family Trip

Hi, my name is Amanda, and I am from Maine, where I live with my husband and two kids. I went to college in Boston at Wentworth Institute of Technology, where I studied Architecture. My professional background started in Architecture and Construction, and my love for travel has pulled me in the direction of travel planning! My experience in a leadership role as a Project Coordinator has required skills that translate to running a successful travel planning business, such as detail-oriented planning, time management, and organization. With these skills, I am able to help you select the perfect destination based on your family's preferences, arrange transportation and accommodations that fit your needs, and even plan out extra excursions and experiences!

I have always loved to travel. I grew up loving our family trips to Disney world, and have recently rediscovered that love when we started taking our kids. We are on our way to making a tradition out of an annual family vacation to Walt Disney World! Outside of my Disney travel, my other travel experience includes 5 Cruises throughout the Caribbean and Mediterranean, a semester abroad in Berlin, where I visited a half a dozen or more other European countries, as well as separate family trips to Germany, and the UK. 

While I am relatively new to the travel planning profession, I have ample experience planning my own extended family vacations, as well as helping friends navigate the details of their trip, by being a walking Encyclopedia for their Disney questions, helping them book dining and experience reservations, and giving them tips and tricks to help navigate the parks, all of which, I found very fulfilling and rewarding! 

Did you know… My services are always FREE to you! I can save you TIME, by doing the legwork of booking sought-after Disney dining or experience reservations. Or being the one waiting on hold with airlines if your travel plans are affected by an event such as weather. I can also save you MONEY by seeking out the latest promotions being offered by resorts or cruise lines, to make sure you know you're getting the best deal. I am here to help you every step of the way with your vacation!

The best delayed honeymoon one could ask for
Reviewed By GS2025 - Ypsilanti, MI | Traveled to Scotland | Europe
We had a wonderful experience with Amanda as our travel guide. She took all our feedback and preferences into consideration when creating the itinerary for our Scotland trip (our delayed honeymoon! Better late than never!). Communication was easy, I really liked the travel portal where our travel plans, bookings and conversations were saved. It made it very easy to reference and review our plans, booked hotels and transportation and receipts/reservation confirmations. Amanda was super patient with us, I will fully admit my husband and I are not the best at getting back in a timely manner but this did not phase her in the least and she was very kind with us. As we were firming up plans she also alerted us to any excursion deals and discounts that came her way that we may be interested in. The locations and hotels she chose for us were fantastic, Amanda made planning a trip in a country we had never stepped foot in so much easier and we are so thankful for that. It really did save us so
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Disney World Magic
Reviewed By Emily - Topsham, ME | Traveled to Orlando | Florida | USA
Amanda was SO easy to work with and so incredibly helpful. From the second she booked the trip for us, she kept me informed and updated on what was happening. She often checked in to see if I had questions or needed anything. She was so knowledgeable and I never had to worry. She continued to check in during our trip and I can’t recommend her enough!! Everyone should book their trip through her! She makes it EASY!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Fabulous Travel Agent!
Reviewed By Cordell Clan - Atlanta, GA | Traveled to Europe
Amanda Larkin is a dynamic travel agent!

We had no idea how to even begin planning a 2-week European vacation; we shared with Amanda the countries & sights we would like to see & she took that information to put together a fabulous itinerary! Her attention to detail is outstanding!

Planning a trip can be a stressful process, but Amanda maintained a calm demeanor answering our questions all along the journey. Due to us living several states away from her, we had numerous zoom calls & exchanged emails to discuss the airfare, excursions, hotels, connections, etc.; it was obvious she wanted us to have a wonderful family experience!

We highly recommend Amanda as a travel agent who will exceed all of your expectations!

I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Awesome family trip to Disney and Clearwater FL
Reviewed By Andy - Topsham, ME | Traveled to Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
Amanda was great to work with! We gave her an overall idea on what we wanted to do in Disney, and she came up with an entire plan to make it all happen (which is exactly what we hoped for). She was extremely responsive on all interactions and she had deep knowledge on all things Disney. I found the new way of Disney (using the app) to be very challenging to utilize effectively. She was able to help guide me through the process multiple times, as well as book events for us at specific times which allowed us to enjoy our time in Disney and not stress over the schedule/planning. She was a massive help!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Nothing but good memories
Reviewed By ZR - Brunswick, Maine | Traveled to Cancun ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
Amanda plans a trip for someone else with the same level of care that would go into planning a trip for her own family. If you want someone who’s got your back you want Amanda. When I asked if my daughter could get a birthday cake at the resort, she made it happen.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
