About Me

Spaceship Earth at EPCOT
Spaceship Earth at EPCOT

You deserve a Walt Disney World vacation that feels effortless, memorable, and uniquely yours.

Hi, I’m Gabe, and I’ve spent decades exploring Walt Disney World in-depth to help clients maximize their time, budget, and experience. I believe a great trip is about the moments you’ll remember: the perfect view meal, a shorter wait for your favorite ride, or finding the snack that becomes your new tradition.

I’ve visited all four Walt Disney World theme parks countless times - Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom - as well as both water parks, Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach. Along the way, I’ve stayed at resorts in every category, from value to moderate to deluxe, including favorites like Disney's Port Orleans Resort, Art of Animation, Disney’s Riviera Resort and Grand Floridian Resort & Spa.

I also have firsthand experience with Disney extras that can take your trip to the next level:

  • Fireworks dessert parties with reserved viewing
  • Fireworks cruises for a unique vantage point
  • After-hours, Halloween and Christmas parties
  • Special events and seasonal festivals
  • VIP tours
  • Memory Maker and PhotoPass tips

Dining is another passion of mine, and I’ve personally dined at quick-service favorites,  signature restaurants, and allergy-friendly options throughout the resort. I understand how to navigate gluten-free, vegetarian, and picky-eater needs so you can eat well without worry.

When it comes to tickets, I’ve helped clients understand park hopping, Lightning Lane strategies, water park add-ons, and special event tickets like Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. I stay on top of changes so you don’t have to, from rule updates to new shows and openings, I’m constantly researching so you can relax.

Whether you’re traveling with young kids, teens, grandparents, or on a solo Disney adventure, I can help you match the right resort to your group’s style and budget, and design a plan that balances the must-dos with those spontaneous, magical moments.

My approach is about making memories, not cramming in every ride. I believe in prioritizing what’s most important to you, leaving room to breathe, and adding those personal touches that transform a vacation into a story you’ll tell for years.

If you’re dreaming of your first trip, a once-in-a-lifetime celebration, or returning to your favorite place with fresh eyes, I’d love to share what I know and help you make your Walt Disney World vacation as magical  and as easy as possible.

Glam Vegas Weekend Made Easy
Reviewed By md320 - New York City | Traveled to Las Vegas | Nevada | USA
Went to Las Vegas for the Kylie Minogue residency at Voltaire, and Gabe made the whole weekend feel effortless. He suggested a fantastic hotel and even helped land hard-to-get reservations at Delilah...such a cool spot with live music during dinner. Since it was too cold to hang by the pool, he also planned some great brunch options that gave the trip a fun, relaxed rhythm. Everything was smooth, stylish, and just the right mix of energy and downtime.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Seamless Cambodia/Thailand Adventure
Reviewed By md320 - New York City | Traveled to East and Southeast Asia
I was heading to Thailand for a destination wedding and wanted to make the most of the trip. Gabe helped plan additional stops in Chiang Mai and Cambodia, making everything feel effortless. In Cambodia, he connected us with a fantastic local guide who timed our Angkor Wat visit to avoid the crowds... a huge win! He also found the perfect mix of hotels for each leg, from cozy B&Bs to apartment-style stays. Thanks to his tips, we hit amazing night markets and saw more than we ever expected. Even with all the moving parts, the whole trip ran smoothly.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

DC Weekend Visit
Reviewed By TDL92 - Baltimore, MD | Traveled to Washington D.C. | District of Columbia | USA
We went to DC for Pride weekend and Gabe helped us choose the perfect spot near Logan Circle—walkable to everything we had planned, from brunch to the parade to meeting up with friends. It made the whole weekend so much easier and more fun. We wouldn’t have picked that area on our own, but it ended up being such a great call.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Disney Cruise convert
Reviewed By dclnewbie - Pittsburgh | Traveled to Nassau | Bahamas | Caribbean
We weren’t sure if a Disney Cruise would be our thing, but Gabe suggested we try a weekend on the Disney Wish, and we’re so glad we did. He kept us on top of all the key planning deadlines and helped us book extras like dinner and brunch at Palo, which ended up being some of our favorite memories. We loved the ship, especially the adult spaces and cocktail bars. We had such a good time, we already booked our next cruise!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Perfectly Planned Gasparilla Weekend
Reviewed By TRS23 - Baltimore, MD | Traveled to Tampa | Florida | USA
Went to Tampa for Gasparilla weekend and Gabe made the whole experience seamless. He helped us choose the right place to stay and mapped out an itinerary that worked great for the busy crowds. His suggestions for neighborhoods to explore around the city gave us a chance to enjoy the weekend beyond just the parade. Would absolutely rely on his planning again, it made the whole trip stress-free!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
