Shannon knows her theme parks!
Reviewed By Jessica - Weston FL | Traveled to Universal Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA
Shannon has booked our stay at Universal. She had plenty of feedback and helpful suggestions to help us decide where to stay, how the express passes work, and what restaurants we might enjoy at the resorts. She is an open book regarding her experience and recommendations for the parks, both Disney and Universal. She is very quick to respond and goes above and beyond to be helpful to her clients. I won’t hesitate to reach out to her again for our next trip and will definitely be recommending her to friends and family.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

    Creating the Best Universal Orlando Vacation

    So many people believe you can see all of Universal Orlando in two, maybe even one day. Unless you're getting a 10 hour private VIP Tour, I'm here to let you know you will need more time!   The great thing about Universal Orlando Resort is that you can pay extra for their Express Pass-where you can save 50%-75% in line without any ...

    Client Testimonials

    Surprising the Wife, aka the Planner!
    After many years of my wife and I not having a true vacation with just the two of us, Shannon helped plan one of the best Disney vacations we've ever had! She was responsive, transparent, and always provided suggestions to compare pros and cons. I had a last minute idea to surprise my wife with a dinner reservation that was needed less than 5 days from the dinner and Shannon jumped through hoops to make it happen! My wife was truly surprised by the dinner and we had a great time. I would highly recommend Shannon for all your travel needs and looking forward to her guidance on future trips!
