About Me

Family Travel & Gluten-Free Vacation Specialist

I specialize in planning family-focused travel where details and experience truly matter. My areas of focus include Disney Destinations, Universal Parks, ocean and river cruising and carefully selected all-inclusive resorts. As someone living with celiac disease, I bring a unique layer of expertise to every itinerary I design. I work closely with cruise lines, resorts, and travel partners to help clients with gluten-free and allergy-related needs feel confident about dining and accommodations, without travel becoming stressful or limiting. Whether you’re planning a multigenerational cruise, a European itinerary that balances culture and ease, or a family resort stay where everyone’s needs are considered, my role is to manage the details and advocate for you throughout the process. My goal is simple: to create well-matched, worry-free travel experiences so families can focus on being together and making meaningful memories.

Group travel: We can’t thank Kat enough!
Reviewed By ILM - Mississauga | Traveled to At Sea
Our 10-member family, including 3 children ranging in age from 3-8 years old, wanted to celebrate Grandma’s special 70th birthday event, so we decided the best way would be to take a 5-night Disney cruise in August 2025 on the Disney Dream! And even though we have sailed with a number of adult cruise lines over the years, we had never been on a Disney cruise before and were not quite sure what to expect or how to go about getting the best possible vacation amenities Disney had to offer. Enter Kat Ward, travel agent for Pure Magic Vacations. From our first connection on the phone through to our final arrival at home, Kat provided exceptional guidance, advice and invaluable insights that allowed both kids and adults to thoroughly enjoy all the amenities available in our Disney vacation. We’re pleased to say that as a result of all Kat’s aid in organizing and preparing us for all aspects of our first-ever Disney cruise, once we had boarded the ship, we felt completely comfortable and ready to fully enjoy all that the Disney Dream had to offer. No time wasted learning about the ship and its amenities…we were already well prepared to hit the deck running! And a special thanks to Kat for quickly contacting us, without a request on our part, after researching possible Fort Lauderdale hotel accommodations we might want to use as a result of our return flight home being suddenly cancelled due to an airline labour strike. Very nice indeed. In closing, we can’t thank Kat enough for her patience, professionalism and all the time and efforts she provided for us over the course of 14 months! Her quick response to emails and her clear, precise and informative responses were greatly appreciated. We certainly would not have had such a fantastic family Disney Dream cruise without Kat’s immeasurable contribution and we look forward to continue working with Kat on our future cruise adventures.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

I highly recommend Kat for anyone looking to book a trip
Reviewed By DB - Toronto, ON | Traveled to Universal Orlando | Florida | USA
Kat Ward went above and beyond in helping me plan my family trip to Universal Studios. She was extremely helpful and knowledgeable when it came to deciding when to go, where to stay, what to see and even where to eat (especially for people with dietary restrictions). Kat shared a wealth of experience regarding the parks that proved to be very useful and allowed us to make the most out of our trip. She was always available to answer any questions I had, and her guidance leading up to the trip (and even during!) helped in creating a truly memorable trip for our family! I highly recommend Kat for anyone looking to book a trip - you'll be in great hands!!!

A worry-free vacation
Reviewed By AA - Toronto, ON | Traveled to Saint Lucia | St. Kitts and Nevis | Caribbean
Our advisor Kat was great to work with. We had a lovely family vacation at Coconut Bay in St. Lucia. It's hard to coordinate the requirements of 6 adults (one being celiac), a child and a baby. Kat did just that. The resort was wonderful. Kat was quick to respond to all of our questions and kept us informed about upcoming timelines. She even went out of her way to contact the resort about menus for the specialty restaurants and managed our bookings for us. Thank you Kat for looking after us so well. Working with you became a worry-free vacation.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Cannot recommend her enough!
Reviewed By EM - Pelham, ON | Traveled to Mexico
Had a wonderful vacation thanks to Kat Ward! We went to Iberostar Lindo in Mexico, I was worried about dietary restrictions and this resort not only met but exceeded my expectations. Kat understood our wants and needs and she really hit the nail on the head with this booking. She was so helpful with documents and requirements leading up to our trip and checked in during and followed up after to ensure we had all our needs met. Cannot recommend her enough!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

    Your Disney trip is in good hands!
    Disney and planning is overwhelming, Kat Ward erased all those feelings and was on top of all the details. She was thorough, personable, and always open to a phone chat which I appreciated. E- mails were answered promptly and took initiative to coordinate our group of 10 so that we are all on the same page. We never felt pressured and Kat was full of knowledge. Your Disney trip is in good hands with Kat. We will definitely be going back to her for our next planned vacation. My kids cry daily that they are no longer at Disney!
