Chania, Crete - Quaint Old Venetian Town

Hi! I’m Julie, founder of Wish Upon a Wave Travel, and I specialize in helping families, couples, and Disney lovers turn their vacation dreams into magical, stress-free adventures. Whether you're planning a once-in-a-lifetime cruise vacation or a perfect Disneyland getaway, I’ll be your guide from the very first step to the final day of your trip.

My travel journey began with my first cruise in 2004. From the moment I stepped onboard, I was captivated by the experience—the salty ocean breeze, the stunning sunsets, the excitement of discovering new ports, and the joy of unpacking just once while exploring the world. That one cruise ignited a passion that turned into a career in professional travel planning. Today, I use that same passion and experience to help others create unforgettable memories at sea and in the Disney parks.
