Disney and Universal Expert

Meeting Mickey and Goofy at EPCOT!

Disney & Universal Family Vacation Specialist – Magical Planning for Real Families

As a mom of four kids between the ages of 3 and 12, I’ve done Disney and Universal every way imaginable and I bring that real-world, hands-on experience to every family I help. From spinning on the teacups in Fantasyland, building lightsabers in Galaxy’s Edge, and getting princess makeovers at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, to meeting favorite characters, getting chosen by a wand at Ollivander’s, and riding the biggest thrill rides in the parks I’ve truly experienced it all, through the eyes of both a parent and a child.

I’ve stayed at many of the on-property resorts at both Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando Resort, and I know the ins and outs of each from value hotels to deluxe accommodations with theme park views. I can help you choose the best resort for your family's priorities, whether you’re looking for luxury, convenience, immersive theming, or budget-friendly options that still offer all the magic.

But my expertise goes beyond just knowing the attractions I stay continuously updated on every park update, ride opening, and seasonal celebration. From Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, EPCOT festivals, and Holidays at Universal, to Halloween Horror Nights and Disney After Hours events, I keep track of every limited-time experience so you don’t miss a thing.

I know the park layouts, transportation systems, and the best strategies for each day of your vacation. Whether it’s rope-dropping Rise of the Resistance, timing your Genie+ selections, or knowing when to catch the best parade spots or night time fireworks I’ve learned the insider tips and tricks that make a big difference in your day.

Why Work with a Disney & Universal Vacation Specialist?

Planning a Disney or Universal vacation can feel overwhelming especially for busy parents. There are so many decisions to make: where to stay, which parks to visit, which rides to prioritize, where to eat, how to navigate Genie+ or Express Pass, and more. That’s where I come in.

I take the guesswork out of the process and design personalized, stress-free itineraries that are tailored to your family’s interests, budget, pace, and travel style. Whether it's your first visit or your fiftieth, I create a plan that maximizes the magic while minimizing stress.

As a family travel specialist, I understand how important flexibility, downtime, and the “little things” are like stroller parking, mobile ordering, nap-friendly resorts, or which rides are too intense for toddlers. I also know how to make a trip magical for tweens, teens, and multi-generational groups who have different priorities.

Services I Offer:

• Customized Disney & Universal vacation planning
• Personalized itineraries
• Resort recommendations (Value, Moderate, Deluxe)
• Dining reservations and character dining strategies

• Transportation planning (Magical Express alternatives, Monorail, buses, etc.)

• Planning for families with young kids, tweens, or mixed-age groups

I also help with milestone celebrations like birthdays, anniversaries, first visits, and graduation trips adding thoughtful touches and optional enhancements that make your vacation truly one-of-a-kind.

What sets me apart is not just my knowledge but my passion. I genuinely love helping families make lifelong memories at Walt Disney World, Disneyland, and Universal Orlando Resort. Whether you're building your dream vacation around Harry Potter World, Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, or your child's first hug with Mickey, I’ll help you make it magical from start to finish.
