About Me

As an experienced travel agent, I specialize in creating unforgettable vacations for my clients. My passion lies in three main areas: Disney destinations, adult and family all-inclusive resorts, and cruises! With decades of my own travel experience, I have developed a deep knowledge of these areas and a keen understanding of what makes a truly exceptional vacation. When it comes to Disney Destinations, I am a true expert. I have planned countless trips to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Disney Cruise Line, and other Disney properties around the world. I lived in Southern California for 37 years and was an annual passholder at Disneyland for well over 10 years. Now that I reside in Tennessee, I frequent Walt Disney World, visiting several times a year.

In addition to Disney Destinations, I am also well-versed in adult and family all-inclusive resorts. From the Caribbean to Mexico to Hawaii, I have visited and/or researched multiple resorts in these areas and can provide expert advice on which properties will best meet your needs. Whether you are looking for a relaxing beach vacation or an action-packed adventure, I can help you find the perfect resort for your next getaway.

Finally, I am also a specialist with the cruise lines. With so many options out there, it can be overwhelming to choose the right one for your needs. Luckily, I have extensive experience with all of the major cruise lines and can help you narrow down your options and find the perfect cruise for your budget and preferences. No matter what type of vacation you are looking for, I am here to help. As your travel agent, I will work closely with you to create the perfect itinerary that meets your needs and exceeds your expectations.

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!!!

Transitioning from Theme Parks to All-Inclusives

For many families, vacations are a treasured opportunity to relax, connect, and make memories that last a lifetime. While theme parks like Walt Disney World are a popular choice, where the magic of rides, shows, and attractions takes center stage, there’s another way to vacation that offers its own kind of magic: all-inclusive resorts.
