About Me

Disneyland 2024
Disneyland 2024

Turning dream vacations into unforgettable memories is truly my passion. In 2023, I made that passion official by joining the incredible Destination Magic team as an independent travel advisor—and I haven’t looked back since!

I specialize in planning magical Disney vacations, relaxing Caribbean getaways, stunning Hawaii escapes, sun-soaked Mexico all-inclusives, and unforgettable cruise experiences. Whether you're dreaming of castle views, turquoise waters, or waking up in a new destination each day, I’m here to make it seamless and stress-free.

With certifications including College of Disney Knowledge, Universal Orlando Resort Specialist, Hyatt Inclusive Certified Confidant and many more, I bring both expertise and insider knowledge to every trip I plan. But what truly sets me apart is firsthand experience. I visit these destinations often—walking the parks, staying at the resorts, and experiencing the details that make a trip truly special.

From celebrating the holidays at Disney to exploring the beauty and culture of Mexico’s Riviera Maya, I’ve experienced the moments that make these vacations so meaningful—and I love helping my clients experience them too.

When you work with me, you’re not just booking a trip—you’re getting personalized guidance, thoughtful planning, and support every step of the way. I take the time to understand your travel style, your priorities, and your vision so I can create a vacation that fits you perfectly.

Whether it’s your first trip or your fiftieth, I’m here to make it easy, exciting, and completely unforgettable.

Let’s start planning your next adventure.

Travel Testimonial

“As a first time Disney-goer, I was so lucky to have Ann planning each day’s activities. She was incredibly well-prepared and knowledgeable about the parks, which made my days on the trip so easy. It was important to me to spend as much time in the parks seeing characters and experiencing the sights, and I appreciated Ann paying attention to all the things I wanted the trip to include while also taking into account what others on the trip wanted to do most. The care she took in planning the trip was obvious in how seamless and smooth the trip was. I was so grateful to have such an organized and caring planner making my days that much more fun and magic-filled!” Emma F. of Granger, Iowa

We hadn't been to Florida in 18 years so thinking about planning everything with all the changes since then was a little daunting. Ann made our trip planning so easy and she took care of all the details. She answered all our questions and gave us a lot of helpful advice! Next time we plan a trip, she will be our go-to-person!

We have had the best experiences with Ann planning our vacations! We will be taking a European cruise shortly that Ann planned for us as well as past trips. She never makes us feel like we're bothering her and is always super quick with her replies. She has a lot of good ideas and can't wait to plan the next vacation with her!

Best travel agent
Reviewed By AndersonFamily - Panama, OK | Traveled to Disneyland | California | USA
We have used Ann for all of our trip needs for about 3 years now. Our previous travel agent was simply not knowledgeable enough and left a lot of things up to us to book. That is NOT Ann, she goes above and beyond for any and all of our travel needs. She does through research and sends us lots of information and details prior to our trip. She will even be on the lookout for any deals that arise to save us a few bucks when she can and in this economy, every dollar counts. I have recommended her to many individuals who have since booked with her and have had no issues. From Disneyland, disney world, to cruises or simple hotel stays she has done it all for us. We will forever be thankful to have found her and will use her every trip.

Absolutely the best!
Ann made it super easy to book a spring break trip. She very quickly narrowed down ideas of places we’d like to stay, and all of them were great choices! She even helped us find a surprise birthday stop on the way. I’d highly recommend letting her take the stress out of planning of vacation!
