About Me

Visit Puerto Vallarta, Mexico on a Disney Cruise
Visit Puerto Vallarta, Mexico on a Disney Cruise

Hi, I’m Gabe, a travel advisor and Platinum Castaway Club guest who has sailed Disney Cruise Line more than ten times across multiple ships and itineraries. When Disney sails the Mexican Riviera, Puerto Vallarta is often one of the most scenic and culturally rich stops along the way.

Puerto Vallarta blends coastline and colonial charm. The cruise port is a short ride from the Marina district, while the historic center, with its cobblestone streets, the Malecón boardwalk, and the iconic Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe, offers a very different feel.

It’s a port where you can choose between beach time, cultural exploration, or a mix of both.

Disney Cruise Line itineraries that visit Puerto Vallarta often include a range of water-based and sightseeing experiences, as well as opportunities to explore nearby mountain and jungle landscapes.

I help travelers decide how active they want their day to be and how to balance a full port excursion with the timing of onboard dining, and evening entertainment.

Mexican Riviera sailings can also feature multiple sea days, which changes how you plan your cruise compared to Caribbean itineraries. I guide travelers on ship choice, stateroom location, adult-exclusive dining reservations, and how to maximize those sea days so the rhythm of the cruise feels intentional.

Puerto Vallarta brings vibrant color, Pacific coastline views, and a distinctly different vibe from the Caribbean. If you’re looking at a Disney cruise along Mexico’s west coast, I’ll help you choose the sailing that fits your style and make sure this port becomes a highlight of your itinerary.

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.
