About Me

Agent Specializing in Disney and Europe

I am a Disney Destination and European travel specialist with the unique advantage of having lived in Europe, allowing me to provide "insider" logistical mastery for Disneyland Paris, Adventures by Disney, and Disney Cruise Line’s European itineraries. My expertise is rooted in firsthand experience—I have visited every onsite resort at Disneyland Paris, from Disney Hotel Santa Fe to the Disneyland Hotel, and have experienced every attraction across the parks. I specialize in making complex travel "easy" for busy moms and young professionals by guiding you through every detail of your trip, from maximizing dining plans and navigating the parks to arranging seamless pre- and post-cruise stays in world-class cities. Whether you are seeking the magic of Walt Disney World or a global adventure, I provide the strategic planning and deep destination knowledge needed to turn an overwhelming research process into a stress-free, bucket-list vacation!

Maria planned a wonderful cruise for us!
Reviewed By Mimi Travels - The Villages, FL | Traveled to Caribbean Sea | At Sea | At Sea
Our recent cruise was so relaxing! Maria’s detailed planning and thoughtful suggestions helped us have a fun and enjoyable trip! She was able to help us find the perfect cabin that was close to the elevators with plenty of indoor living space which we loved! When we decided to work on another upcoming cruise, all it took was a simple message to Maria to help us plan it. She had several suggestions, including cabin recommendations that helped us learn where we might be more comfortable and have easier access to the popular areas of the ship, which for us is the huge theatre, coffee shops and our favorite restaurant. One reason we love booking trips with Maria is that she works with us to help plan trips that are comfortable and enjoyable for our retirement years. We feel very confident knowing Maria is only a quick message away anytime we may need her. That’s important to us as we plan our future cruises and travel to new destinations. We know she’s always there and that means a lot to us! Thank you, Maria, for helping to plan for us another enjoyable vacation! We can’t wait for the next adventure!

Vacation Planning for Busy Moms
Reviewed By KG - Meridian, MS | Traveled to USA
Maria handles the details and all of the many calls, emails, holding times that a working mother doesn’t have time to do. At your convenience, you can provide her a wishlist, and she puts it together in several different forms so you can make decisions on YOUR time schedule, which might be after working hours. She is a life saver and helps so much that trip planning becomes fun and exciting and not a burden. Maria is a burden lifter!!! ??

If you're researching someone to help with all travel experiences, I highly recommend Maria Burkett. She helped with an All-Girls Trip to NYC in 2024 and an All-Family Trip to Disney's Aulani Resort on Oahu, Hawaii in 2025. In my book, Maria earns an A++!

Dream Vacation
Reviewed By AB - Louisiana | Traveled to Greece | Europe
Maria helped to make our dream vacation a reality. When my husband and I got married, we didn't have the money to travel to Greece. So, we promised each other that we would get there for our tenth wedding anniversary. As that time approached, I reached out to Maria, but we were overwhelmed. Where do we go in Greece? Which islands? What can we afford? Do we want tot hit other parts of Europe as well? Maria was the one who suggested that we book a Virgin Voyage cruise. It was the best thing we could have done. We got to visit 3 islands and the mainland as well as stop in Turkey. We were intent on seeing all we could during the day and we traveled to the next spot while surrounded in luxury and relaxation on board the cruise ship. Maria found us the most wonderful gems to stay at before our cruise and during our overnight stay in Mykonos. She helped us to build an on land itinerary that was balanced with history, beautiful sights, and indulgent experiences. She talked me through the exc
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
