About Me

Disney, Universal, Cruises, All-Inclusive & Europe

Hi, I’m Tara, and I'm so glad you are here!

I am a travel advisor specializing in Disney destinations (Walt Disney World Resort, Disneyland Resort, Disney Cruise Line, Aulani Resort and Spa, and Adventures by Disney), Universal Orlando & Hollywood, most major Cruise Lines (Ocean and River cruises), European Vacations, All-inclusive Resorts, and more! 

In addition to being a travel agent, I am a wife and mom of 2 kids, and I love just hanging out with friends, having movie nights with my family, and of course - traveling! 

And while I LOVE going on vacation for FUN, I’m also going for YOU. It makes me a better travel advisor because I am there on the ground and I am able to give you recommendations and advice based on MY personal experience, not what I read in a Facebook group. You’re trusting me with your vacation and I take that serious and want to make sure you have the best vacation possible! Let my KNOWLEDGE and EXPERIENCE work for you!

I first visited Walt Disney World when I was 5 years old, so it is very nostalgic for me but I always find something new to experience every time I go, so it never gets old! 

After graduating from college, I spent a month traveling all over Europe, visiting several countries, which sparked my love for travel! 

I am currently obsessed with cruising! It is my favorite way to travel as a family and to see multiple destinations in one vacation. 

I joined Share the Magic Travel (an authorized Disney Vacation Planner and Universal Preferred Travel Agency) in January 2022, and I became a Gold Top Producer in my first year and a Platinum Top Producer in my 2nd year. 

My services are always complimentary when I book your vacations!

I look forward to working with you!

1st Universal Family Trip
Reviewed By ReeceFamily - Gray, TN | Traveled to Orlando | Florida | USA
Tara was very helpful finding us the best deal that worked for our family! She checked in and kept us informed on our drive down to FL. (A hurricane was due to hit during our stay). And when we arrived, she had left us an unexpected welcome gift at the desk. We had a great time!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Took my best friend to Disney World for the first
Reviewed By Chellezer - Huntsville, AL | Traveled to Orlando | Florida | USA
I hadn’t been to Disney in over 10 years, and my best friend had never been. We had the best girls trip together! Tara made everything SO easy. Looking at everything was so overwhelming, so having Tara help navigate decisions was so helpful. Will be using her again the next time we go!
