About Me

Agent Specializing in Disney Destinations

I am so happy to be a vacation planner specializing in family vacations! Throughout my life, I have loved travel. It started with our family trips to Florida where nearly all my extended family lives. These frequent trips always included a visit to Orlando and a visit to either Disney World or Universal. Back then, there was so much less to do and things were so much less complicated. Over the past 10 years as a travel agent, I have enjoyed helping families navigate theme park vacations in Florida and California treating their vacations as I would my own.

Nothing but the best!!!!
Reviewed By Angel and Kallie - Belleville, IL | Traveled to Riviera Maya ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
Sally is always so easy to work with! She is efficient, easy to get ahold of, and handles any changes with the utmost professionalism. We would not have gone on our trips if it wasn’t for her advice and efforts. She’s a wealth of information and her reviews are always on point. We always recommend her to anyone wanting a fantastic getaway. We will definitely book with her again and again! From the beginning idea of taking a trip to making it personal and special for us, Sally was always wonderful. We booked our honeymoon with her to El Dorado Maroma and it was more amazing than we ever imagined! The room was above what we would have booked for ourselves and included a private pool! She made sure the staff knew it was our honeymoon (and my birthday) and we were treated every night with special desserts and treats and decorations. A truly special experience for my husband and me.
Sally Portera Mankins responded
"I am so glad that I was able to provide a wonderful honeymoon for you and your husband! I look forward to working with you on couples and family vacations!"

Another great trip by Wish Upon A Star with Sally
Reviewed By JC - Edwardsville, Illinois | Traveled to Hawaii ~ USA

We just returned from a Hawaii cruise, set up by Sally. She did an EXCELLENT job! I have lost count how many times we have used Sally and Wish Upon a Star, and each and every time is a wonderful experience. She coordinates everything, sets everything up, all planned out, thinks of things we may have missed. Very much worth contacting her!

I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Honeymoon in Paradise
Reviewed By TL618 - Swansea, IL | Traveled to Jamaica ~ Caribbean
We asked Sally to help us book our dream honeymoon. We had heard from friends about her attentiveness and expansive knowledge. She came highly recommended from a few friends that had booked trips with her in the past. I am so glad we picked Sally to help us put together our dream trip.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
