About Me

We love helping families!
We love helping families!

My name is Laura and I'm the brains behind getting your vacation dreams to become a reality. My husband, Matt is super helpful and supportive, and my 2 teens are amazing too! I'm also a full time teacher so I totally get kids and families. I love helping families book stress-free vacations so that they can just enjoy one another!

I also understand tired parents who need a getaway with no kids! I specialize in adult-only cruises and all-inclusives for you too! I've planned dozens of couples trips and group trips/cruises as well! After traveling with our kids for years and telling friends and family about all about places we've been and how we planned them, we've decided to help you plan your memories!

Sure anyone can go online and book a trip, but you don't get personalized service, with trained (excited) humans, who are ready and willing to make this an easy and stress-free planning process! Those websites can't help you if your flights delayed, your rooms not ready, or your kids get sick while traveling. But we can! And the best part...we are FREE! Yep... the most affordable part of your trip.

And that training part... I'm a graduate of the Disney College of Knowledge, a Marriott specialist, Sandals specialist, Orlando Specialist, Universal Studios specialist, certified with multiple cruise lines, and I have access to hundreds of properties including rentals, villas, and condos! We are also annual pass holders at Disney, have also been season pass holders at Universal Studios, and between the 2 of us we have traveled all over the USA, Mexico, Canada, and I've even lived in London, England, and traveled to Ireland, Belgium, and Wales! We've helped many people book their trips and would love to help you too!

So let's get planning your next family vacation, weekend getaway, or once in a lifetime experience! We can book hotels, all-inclusives, cruises, international tours, event tickets, and so many cool vacations that I never even knew existed!! You name it, we can book it! Our commitment to you is keeping our communication with you helpful and clear through out your entire travel process. We never want you to feel like your questions are not important and we realize that a lot of families don't realize what goes in to planning a trip. We also have a lot of experience with traveling with special needs kiddos and can help with that process! We look forward to working with you!

See what clients are saying about our services!

Laura is amazing! We decided on a last-minute trip for spring break, and Laura immediately found us the beach vacation our family of 4 needed. Laura even followed up with us upon arrival to be sure we were safe and sound. Highly recommend!! -Laura M.

Laura was amazing to work with! She found us the perfect place to relax and enjoy beautiful weather!! I’m terrible at planning trips so she was a life saver!!!?? -Beth H.

Our very first cruise!
Reviewed By VacayFan - Lawrenceburg, IN | Traveled to Port Canaveral | Florida | USA
My husband and I have always heard cruises are awesome, but we opted for an all inclusive trip for our honeymoon. We finally decided to book our very first cruise for our anniversary and didn’t know where to start, so we reached out to Laura. She was QUICK to respond and answered our million questions. From help to booking a hotel the night before to the best vacation ever, Laura was always available to us. Even when she was on her own trip, she responded and was sending us details!!! I would highly recommend Laura for any trip you have in mind. We never went on a cruise because we heard there were tons of kids usually. We do not have kids and heard MSC cruise line was more geared towards adults. While there were kids, there were multiple areas with kids adults. Excursions and the app was very easy to book/use. This was our favorite vacation yet!
Laura Franz responded
"Thank you for the kind review Danielle! I am so glad that you had a great time on your MSC cruise together!"
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Birthday trip to Disney
Reviewed By Ja42599 - Mason OH | Traveled to Walt Disney World | Florida | USA
Thanks to Laura we had an amazing time at Walt Disney World celebrating Paige’s 16th birthday! She knows EVERYTHING about the parks and made each step of the process super easy. And her knowledge and advice beforehand made something that could have ruined the trip just a small hiccup. Thank You!!
Laura Franz responded
"I am so glad that you could celebrate Paige turning 16 at Disney!!! Thank you for your kind review and I look forward to booking more trips for you in the future~"

Fall break fun
Reviewed By Kayla - Lawrenceburg, Indiana | Traveled to Pigeon Forge ~ Tennessee ~ USA
Working with Laura was a breeze. We knew we wanted to go to Pigeon Forge for fall break and I began looking on my own. I eventually found it to be extremely overwhelming with all of the choices and not being super familiar with the area as far as location wise so I reached out to Laura. I let her know what I was looking for as far as specifics and how much I wanted to spend and she delivered. I quickly went with one of the options and it was a great choice. Will definitely be reaching back out next vacation we go on.
Laura Franz responded
"Kayla, I am so glad that you had a nice time in your cabin. There were MANY to choose from and I am so glad that we found one that worked for your family!"
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Teens CAN be fun to travel with!

Making Traveling with Teens More Fun Traveling with teens can be a mix of magic and meltdowns, but I’ve found that with a little planning (and a lot of patience), it’s possible to make the experience genuinely fun for everyone. Gone are the days when they were excited just to stay in a hotel or see a new playground. Teenagers want indepen...
