About Me

Beach in Kahului
Beach in Kahului

I specialize in helping families, couples, and first-time travelers plan stress-free Disney vacations and cruise getaways that are personalized, magical, and easy from start to finish. Handling the details, research, and logistics is key to a successful vacation.

As a mom of three, I understand what it takes to plan trips that work for real families. I’ve experienced Disney, Universal, driving across country, and multiple cruise vacations, along with traveling both with and without kids. Those real-life experiences allow me to provide expert recommendations, insider tips, and thoughtful planning so your vacation is smooth, memorable, and truly enjoyable.

Disney destinations and cruises are two areas where I specialize in due to having experienced them multiple times as a family and as a getaway with my husband. I handle all the details and make it so you just show up and enjoy your vacation. 

• Real-life experiences help me plan trips that fit your family’s needs, travel style, and budget.

• My goal is simple: to take the stress out of travel planning and replace it with excitement and confidence. I’m with you every step of the way, from the first idea to the moment you return home with unforgettable memories.

• Whether you’re dreaming of a Walt Disney World vacation, a Disney Cruise Line sailing, or a relaxing cruise getaway, I take care of the details—from dining and room selections to special experiences and personalized recommendations. My goal is to save you time, remove the overwhelm, and make sure your vacation feels magical from start to finish.

• When I’m not planning trips, you’ll find me hiking somewhere new. This past year I had my longest hiking trip which was a four-day hike down the Grand Canyon, which was absolutely beautiful. Travel has always been a huge part of my life—not just the destinations, but the memories made along the way.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why should I use a Disney or cruise travel agent instead of booking myself?
