About Me

As an passionate Harry Potter fan and proud Ravenclaw, my heart truly belongs in the immersive world of Universal Studios Orlando! I’ve made it my personal mission to uncover every hidden gem, magical moment, and unforgettable bite across the parks. From strolling through the cobblestone alleys of Diagon Alley to exploring every wand shop window in Hogsmeade, I live for the details, and yes, I always stop for a Butterbeer!

One of my absolute favorite rituals is browsing through all the incredible shops in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, there’s something so magical about discovering new merchandise or spotting interactive wand elements I’ve somehow missed before. After a day of spellcasting and exploring, nothing beats indulging in a creative burger-sushi combo at CowFish at CityWalk. It’s quirky, delicious, and totally Universal!

Beyond the Wizarding World, Universal’s Epic Universe is a game-changer! The next-generation attractions and immersive lands are pushing the boundaries of theme park design, truly a can't-miss experience for longtime fans and first-timers alike. And when it comes to cooling off, Volcano Bay reigns supreme as my favorite water park in Orlando. With its tropical theming, thrilling slides, and relaxing rivers, it’s the perfect blend of excitement and escape!

When it’s time to recharge, I always choose to stay at either Royal Pacific Resort or Sapphire Falls. These resorts offer the ideal balance of island vibes, comfort, and convenience. Plus, Royal Pacific includes Express Passes with your stay, which is a major perk!

If you’re planning a trip to Universal Studios Orlando or dreaming of your next magical getaway, I’d love to help you make the most of it. Whether you're a fellow Ravenclaw or just curious about the parks, let’s connect and turn your Universal adventure into something unforgettable.

Alaska
Reviewed By Mason - Illinois | Traveled to Alaska | USA
Our first trip to Alaska. Lauren recommended two cruise lines and our itinerary. She suggested we fly directly to Anchorage and return from Vancouver due to the shorter flight home after our cruise. Once we chose the cruise line Lauren chose our room for us and it was perfect. We will definitely utilize her skills again.

2nd Cruise - Disney Treasure
Reviewed By NicLeigh - New Waterford, OH | Traveled to Caribbean Sea | At Sea | At Sea
We went on a 7 night cruise on the Disney Treasure and couldn't have had a better time! Leading up to the cruise, Lauren was always very helpful and responsive to any questions or requests that I've had. This was my 3rd Disney trip using Lauren as my TA and I will continue to trust her with my vacations. Thanks so much!

Best travel agent
Reviewed By MatthewsFam - Burley, Idaho | Traveled to Caribbean Sea | At Sea | At Sea
Lauren is the best. We have been working with her for a few years now. We always use her to help us plan and book our vacations. She is very knowlegable and responsive with our questions. She gets us all the information we need to make sure we are making the best choices. She has helped us book Disney Cruises, trips to Universal Studios, and other exciting places. She can help with all aspects of the trip including planning, flights, hotels, transportation from the airport or to the resorts. Such a great person to work with. I have recommended her to several of my family and friends. Pretty much anyone who is getting ready to go on a travel trip, should visit with her first to make sure you are getting the best deals and prices. Highly recommend.
