Disney, Cruise & Big City Travel Expertise
My expertise spans Disney destinations around the world, ocean and river cruises, inclusive celebration travel, and complex city-based itineraries. Whether it’s navigating Walt Disney World, comparing cruise lines, planning a Caribbean escape, or designing an urban itinerary for Paris, London, or New York, I turn moving parts into clear decisions.
This isn’t just a job -- it’s my sweet spot: part designer, part strategist, part logistics nerd. I don’t do cookie-cutter trips. I work with you to make your vacation feel personal, seamless, and genuinely fun from start to finish.
Whether you’re dreaming of a luxury river cruise, a park trip with the grandparents, a couples getaway, or your very first character breakfast, I’ll help you plan with confidence, skip the stress, and make space for joy. Every family’s version of magic looks different. My job is to help you find yours.

Ocean & River Cruise Specialist
▶Ocean & River Cruise Specialist
There’s something different about cruise travel. You unpack once. The horizon keeps changing. Dinner feels like an event. The ship becomes its own little world, and for a few days or a few weeks, that world is entirely yours.
I plan ocean and river cruises for travelers who want clarity be...Read More ▶

Every family is different. Some are chasing thrills from rope drop to close. Some need nap windows built into the afternoon and a resort pool that buys you two hours of breathing room.

Chris made our trip easy, fun, and worry-free!
Reviewed By JackPanda - Denver, CO | Traveled to Disneyland | California | USA
This vacation was infinitely better with Chris’ service! We wouldn’t have known how to use the lightening lane passes and we definitely would have gone hungry due to lack of knowledge about in-park restaurants. Instead, we rode every rides we wanted with minimum waiting time and we dined at most fun and delicious restaurants for my birthday breakfast and dinner! Thank you Chris for making my birthday trip easy, fun, and memorable. We would recommend your service to any friends and family!

Amazing Anniversary Trip
Reviewed By MSolis - New York City | Traveled to Disneyland | California | USA
Our extended week at Disney included multiple parks, resorts, and activities. Chris went above and beyond in every capacity over several months to plan this trip with us. He was so generous, helpful, and has really gone out of his way to give us the best park trip of our lives. He really cared that we understoodd the ins and outs of the Disney experience, had an itinerary that included all our interests and hopes, and above all that we had a fantastic time. We did!

Amazing support for an unforgettable trip!
Reviewed By Jess - Burlington, VT | Traveled to Orlando | Florida | USA
We planned our trip with our nieces, 8 & 10 years old, with Chris from start to finish! Chris' encyclopedic knowledge of Disney and his obvious joy in the experiences made it fun to explore and easy to trust his advice.
Chris even made us an individualized photo scavenger hunt for our trip that the girls LOVED. We had a magical time and it wouldn't have happened without all of Chris' help from start to finish! He helped me understand all the dining options, the lightning lanes, and the resort options. He did a terrific job getting us the most for our money and our time.

Stress-free travel
Reviewed By L_Lee - Brooklyn, NY | Traveled to Walt Disney World | Florida | USA
Our very first trip to the Magic Kingdom with our five-year-old was smooth and easy thanks to the calm expertise and guidance of Second Star. Chris asked all the right questions—some we wouldn't have even thought to ask—to help plan the right trip for us, anticipating needs and managing expectations. I don't know how we would have navigated this on our own!

Disney Dreams Came True!
Reviewed By ScottMo - Brooklyn, NY | Traveled to Walt Disney World | Florida | USA
When we first decided to take our little girl to Disney, we were completely overwhelmed. What hotel? Do we stay on property? Do we need the meal plan? Which rides do we prioritize?
Enter Chris from Second Star. Chris listened to our ideas, helped us figure out what our goals were, and fashioned our vacation from scratch. All we had to do was show up. We cannot recommend Chris enough, especially if it’s your first time going to Disney. Thank you so much Chris!
