About Me

Travel Planner Specializing In Family Travel

As a Travel Planner specializing in family travel, I help families create vacations that are both magical and stress-free. With years of personal experience navigating Disney Destinations, runDisney events, and multi-generational trips, I know how to craft itineraries that balance fun, convenience, and unforgettable memories. I guide families through every step of the planning process. From selecting the perfect resort and booking dining reservations to optimizing park days and securing exclusive experiences. My expertise extends beyond Disney to include cruises, all-inclusive resorts, and international travel, allowing me to design vacations that suit every family’s style and budget. Whether it’s a first-time Disney visit, a milestone celebration, or a special event like a runDisney race, my goal is to handle the details so families can focus on what matters most: spending quality time together and making memories that last a lifetime.

Thank you Erica!
Reviewed By Karla - Hesperia, CA | Traveled to Walt Disney World | Florida | USA
Just got back from our trip and I can say with 100 percent confidence that Erica had made our trip so much better! She recommended so many great hotels and restaurants! We had breakfast at Topolino’s Terrance and it was sooo good! Erica was able to get the dining reservations we wanted and I am beyond grateful I didn’t need to wake up super early to do it myself! Pop century was a great hotel and we loved having access to the skyliner. Erica was on her own trip the same time as mine and I expected her not to be available but I was surely wrong! She was available for any questions or requests we had while on the trip. She even answered a very early unexpected 4:30am call! Any doubts, questions, or concerns we had, Erica made sure to reassure us! We were a big group and I’m glad we were able to stick together! Thank you Erica! We can’t wait to plan our next trip with your guidance!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

10/10
Reviewed By Jeremy R. - Illinois | Traveled to Disneyland | California | USA
Erica Shaffer is simply amazing. I consider myself a pretty adept WDW planner but I have only visited Disneyland once and so I reached out for assistance with some trip planning for the first time. I have been blown away every step of the way by Erica's service, professionalism, attention to detail and above all, her patience and flexibility. Our trip involved two late additions to our party, changes in dining reservations, and ultimately two late subtractions from our party with just a couple of weeks to go. Erica handled all of our crazy changes with grace and a smile we could feel even over email. I cannot recommend her highly enough and I intend to reach out to her for all of our WDW and DL trips moving forward. 10/10: DEFINITELY Recommend!!!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
