About Me

Cinderella and Prince Charming upstaged!!!
Cinderella and Prince Charming upstaged!!!

I am a Travel Agent located in Texas!

I have a love for travel that began when I was a child.  Back then, traveling to visit family each summer in Minnesota was our vacation.  As simple as those trips were, it showed me a totally different type of life than what we had in Texas.  As I grew older, my parents began to travel more and as a family we began to take trips to Disneyland, Walt Disney World, Hawaii

I had planned many trips over the years and decided to bring my expertise to the public! My favorite places to travel are Maui, Walt Disney World, the Caribbean, French Polynesia and the Cook Islands as well as cruising in general.  I have traveled to Maui over 12 times, Oahu 4 times, the Big Island and Kauai once each.  I keep current on what is new and changing on the islands. 

I am a 2025 Disney College of Knowledge Graduate as well as the Adventures by Disney and Disney Cruise Line Graduate.  I have traveled to Walt Disney World in Florida 20+ times and have stayed at every level of the Disney on-property resorts.  I've traveled to Disneyland in California 6 times and have stayed on property at two of their resorts.  I have cruised with Disney 6 times and have always felt it to be the cleanest and most fun ships on the seas (we have even sail Disney without the kids)!  I am a bit obsessed with Disney destinations and love planning meals and activities to make your trip more memorable.  There are so many fantastic restaurants and lounges on property.  We could plan a trip revolving just those activities and not go to a single park!

Cruises have also become a favorite for our family.  Is there anything better than boarding a beautiful ship, not worrying about paying for your meals and you have so many activities to do on the ship?  If you have your children with you, they're having fun in the Kids club.  Then you're visiting several ports of call and you don't have to pack, unpack and re-pack to see each destination!  I've cruised the following lines and have enjoyed all:  Disney, Crystal, Celebrity, Paul Gauguin, Virgin Voyages, Oceania, Norwegian, Princess, Royal Caribbean, MSC.  The majority of the cruises have been to the Caribbean (Eastern and Southern being favorites).  We've also sailed on a few river cruises, both on different cruise lines and rivers!  

On the Crystal Symphony, I was on a back-to-back cruise that left Sydney, Australia and sailed up the East coast and over to Bali, through Indonesia and then Malaysia ending in Singapore.  The cruise was one month and was fabulous! Crystal invited me to cruise the maiden voyage of the Crystal Endeavor in the Caribbean Oct. 2021 before she went to the Antarctic. She is the world's largest Ice Class Mega yacht.  A phenomenal ship with all the latest technology, two helicopters and a submarine! On the Paul Gauguin we travelled for 11 days visiting Bora Bora, Mo'orea, Huahine-Iti, Taha'a, Tahiti, Roratonga and Aikutaki.  OMG, what a beautiful set of islands!  The crew and ship were perfect!  We did not want to leave.

I treat my clients vacations as if I were planning my own trip.  I want everyone to have the same experiences that I have.

Spring Break at WDW!
Reviewed By Madeline - Phoenix, AZ | Traveled to Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
Karrie was very helpful in planning our trip to WDW in March. She planned out the trip and figured out our deposit while we were still trying to figure out how many of us were going. Her knowledge of the Disney Fastpass+ system was invaluable and she even proactively made changes when a new ride released fastpasses. She also gave us great tips for getting on Rise of the Resistance and we were able to ride it on our first day there. I would definitely recommend The Tiki Travel Planner and will use them for my next trip.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Awesome WDW getaway!
Reviewed By Ivy D - Houston, TX | Traveled to Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
We just got back from our trip and we had such a magical time at AK, MK and HS. This week was perfect timing as it was in between holidays and never reached 25% capacity. At AK, we arrived just before opening and was able to ride FOP and Navi within 1.5 hrs of opening. At HS, we were able to get boarding group 14 for ROTR and ride MMRR twice! And the calvacades at MK was awesome! Got to see all of them standing in front of Pecos Bill.

If you guys need help planning your trip, definitely reach out to Karrie Dybdahl Weber with The Tiki Travel Planner. She helped us make dining reservations I couldn’t get and even helped us to check-in our flight so we could enjoy our time at the park. She was very communicative and provided detailed info and recommendations. Much appreciated!
Karrie Weber responded

Great New England Princess Cruise!
Reviewed By Mary L - San Antonio, TX | Traveled to Canada
There were no glitches on this trip. From the time of our arrival in Quebec everything went as planned and in many instances, even better than anticipated. We loved our cabin and cabin location. The excursions were perfect for us and a great mix of activities. We had a special complimentary dinner in one of the specialty restaurants and the experience was amazing with delicious food and excellent service. Thank you Karrie! The process of leaving the ship was as easy as getting on the ship had been and we arrived at the airport with plenty of time.
Our first cruise arranged by Karrie of Tiki Travel Planner was also a trip with no problems, no glitches. We sailed from Seattle to Alaska on the Inside Passage in September, 2018. That was a perfect vacation and my husband is now sold on cruising. Thank you, Karrie! I highly recommend her travel expertise and attention to all the details.
Karrie Weber responded
"We've enjoyed helping you plan both of your cruises and look forward to helping with the next one! You've traveled to two locations where Princess Cruises does an exceptional job!"
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Great all-inclusive Spring Break trip!
Reviewed By Sarah T - New Braunfels, TX | Traveled to Jamaica ~ Caribbean
Perfect! I reached out to Karrie last minute for a Spring Break trip. We wanted to go to the Dominican Republic originally but since we were booking last minute the prices had skyrocketed. Karrie warned us about this and made several recommendations for us and we decided on Jamaica. It was a wonderful trip with my fiance at the time and his daughter. The resort was amazing, we had a semi private pool and the food was delicious. We are looking forward to going again once things settle down. Thanks Karrie!
Karrie Weber responded
"Thank you so much for letting us help you with your trip! We were glad we nailed down a great location, at a good price with not too much time to spare! Glad you had such a wonderful time at the Royalton!"

Sedona Wedding made easier with Karrie!
Karrie has booked two trips for us so far and we have been more than pleased with her help! She treats us like family when booking our trips and really takes care of us. She is patient and always full of ideas and responds back very quickly. One of the things she did for our honeymoon was checked us in to our flights so we didn't have to worry about it the day of our wedding. As small as that sounds it was such a HUGE help and one last thing I did not have to worry about.

Killer Key West trip! Finally!!
My trip was cancelled twice due to weather related issues. Karrie and John patiently rescheduled everything and handled all issues. Way above and beyond! Karrie and John connected us with the unique hotels and resorts we were hoping to find. They have a lot of traveling knowledge that made our vacation memorable. I have always made all the arrangements myself but now that I know about Tiki Travel Planners, I'll let them do the hard part!

Fantastic Mediterranean and Danube River cruise!
We were finally able to do our Silversea Mediterranean cruise that was postponed due to Covid. Karrie was instrumental in navigating cancellations and re-booking many trips. It was our first time on Silversea and food was great! We then had our rescheduled biblical tour of Greece. We ended our adventure taking a Viking River cruise with our sons and their significant others on the Danube River. It was a wonderful trip and having Karrie as our advocate made it even better!

11 Person trip to Walt Disney World, Universal
Everything was great! We planned to go to Walt Disney World and Universal Studios. Karrie was amazing with all the booking plans and anytime I had questions she was so quick to respond - even while on the trip. She took care of everything. Traveling with 11 people is not easy and to get all the rooms together, transportation scheduled to and from airport and the parks organized was incredible. I felt so prepared on Day 1 which made our experience less stressful and more enjoyable. I couldn’t have imagined planning this trip with out her! Do not plan a trip on your own!!! Use Karrie - she is amazing!!!!
