Universal Destinations

This is my second time booking a Disney World vacation through Kristen and definitely not the last. She always finds a way to save me money, makes sure I’m prepared and answers any questions I have.

Kristen made booking a 2 week long trip to Europe painless and exciting! It felt like a huge undertaking but Kristen kept us calm by being on top of flights, hotels, and excusions.

Kristen helped me plan a wonderful trip- two weeks in Europe with my daughters . It was their first experience across the Atlantic, and we decided on a cruise, with time spent a bit before and afterwards off the ship , in Rome and Barcelona. Arrangements had to be made for transport from the airport, to the hotels, to and from the ship -and coordinating was something I did not want to worry about in a country with a language I did not speak. She handled it professionally, and all went smoothly . In addition , we took several off Board excursions, and it couldn't have been easier (for me, anyway) Many thanks for her hard work!

Kristen has been wonderful. We are going on trip number 3 this summer with plans for two more after that. Every trip is amazing. She makes sure to make everything we want a reality and we would never take a trip without her help.

We have done a few trips to Disneyland and DisneyWorld in the past but this is the first time using a travel professional to help plan it. Kristen made everything so much less stressful and time consuming. She took care of all the reservations that needed to made and also took care of any changes etc tht we wanted to add to our schedule. We just had to show up for our vacation! I highly recommend using Kristen for your next vacation!

I have known Kristen and her family for years. She is a very dedicated, hard worker and wonderful mom.

Knowledgeable and helpful in every way!

I have worked with Kristen on two Disney vacations for my family and she is amazing!!! She makes it so easy and takes care of all the plans communicating with me every step of the way. I have already referred many friends her way and will continue to use her for all my Disney trips.

Let me first say Kristen is beyond the best!!! She is very personable which goes a real long way... she truly cares about her customers as well as their families! She is beyond flexible and will do whatever it absolutely takes to ensure the best vacation. Super knowledgeable with anything Disney!

Kristen is very knowledgeable, friendly and made the experience joyful, exciting and not a hassle at all!

Kristen was so helpful in planning a day at Magic Kingdom for us then helping us when our travel plans changed and extended our trip to include a Disney resort and Epcot! She went out of her way to help us have a great time, highly recommended!

As always Kristen was amazing and booked a last minute trip for us! She’s always available for any issues or questions….. I will never try to book anything on my own anymore cause she makes it happen so effortlessly! Thank you so much! ??

Kristen’s knowledge and experience made our Jamaican vacation so much better and easier than we could have imagined and I am someone who loves to plan my own vacations!! She introduced us to things that I would not have found!!!

Kristen is not only a childhood friend but a vacation planner who has helped my family enjoy two trips to Disney! She keeps all your hopes, dreams and needs in mind and delivers the best packages and deals. Cant wait to call on her for an adults only trip…one day! ??

Kristen was available from start to finish. Always responded to questions quickly and was positive and friendly! We are already having her plan a Disney Cruise for us this Spring

Kristen was absolutely amazing . Incredibly knowledgeable. Personal and so easy to communicate with . She asked us what we wanted explained all our options . Booked our flights excursion ! I would highly recommend and will always use her for my trips!

…Kristen has helped us with. So many trips over the years for my family of 5. And as my kids have grown into adults she’s helped them with their trips and even a honeymoon too. From so many Disney trips to a Virgin Voyages cruise, to Sandals St Lucia and Excellence Oyster Bay she has coordinated all of our details, listened to our vacation wishes and made them happen. She’s professional, prompt, thorough and thoughtful! I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my vacation planning!

All 12 of us had the best time. Kristen has planned all my Disney trips (all 5 of them) and always does an amazing job! We requested to be close together between 3 cabins and we were all right next to each other! She takes care of everything so I have a stress free planning experience.

Kristen really does help you with every aspect of trip planning and it doesn't stop there she is always available to answer any questions or fix any issue that may arise while on vacation. She makes taking a vacation easy and less stressful!

Choosing Kristen to help us plan the perfect get away for 3 lifelong friends was a no brainer. Kristen always makes trip planning 10 times less stressful. From deciding on our Aruba destination, when to go, and working with our needs, she did a fantastic job gathering all the needed info to finally pull the trigger and book that trip!

I’ve been to Disney over 15 times. I don’t really “need” a planner, but when I was introduced to Kristen a few years ago through a mutual friend, I thought that I would give her a try. I haven’t looked back since. This was our 3rd time using Kristen to help plan our Disney vacation. She is very thorough and so easy to communicate with and get a hold of if you need her. Kristen responds to emails in a very timely manner (and I very much bombarded her with them). She will do as much or as little as you want her to do. The best part of having Kristen help plan our family vacation was not having to do the early morning reservations for Lightening Lanes (she got everything we wanted at the times we wanted), Dinner Reservations, etc. My work schedule is crazy so this was very helpful. She was great as always in informing us about any special events, add ons, discounts, suggestions, etc. We decided on the Halloween party and she booked those tickets for us immediately so that we could get the day that we wanted before they sold out. The itinerary that she put together for us was very helpful! It had lots of great tips regarding our resort, dining, transportation, the parks, packing, etc. As in our previous two vacations, I have enjoyed working with Kristen and I would highly recommend her to anyone planning a vacation, especially a Disney vacation. She truly is an expert in Disney travel, and planning with her gave us a peace of mind that our vacation was well planned so that all we had to think about was having fun and making memories!

Kristen was amazing! She made all of our arrangements from resort to tickets, meals, transport and even carriage rental. She made it so easy. She was always available for questions. I highly recommend Kristen and will use her for all of our vacation plans in the future

Kristen is your key to a successful Disney trip. From getting picked up at the airport, to booking lunch reservations, Kristen's knowledge and experience win dealing with a Disney reservation will make the difference of a good, and a great Disney experience.

Kristen organized a 3-day trip to WDW for my family and friends. She did so on very short notice, with just a week before the trip. She still managed to put together an itinerary that was perfectly tailored to our needs and wishes. She was highly responsive when we were in the resort as well to make additional adjustments.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Kristen! She has been a true lifesaver and our go-to resource for planning memorable family vacations for years…ever since our children were babies. As a family of seven, our trips can be complex, but she always handles every detail flawlessly, allowing us to relax and truly enjoy our vacations. Whether it’s trips to Disney World, adventures at Universal Studios (including a recent special birthday celebration for our twins’ 10th birthday), or an unforgettable Disney Cruise just last week, her expertise and thoughtful planning always exceed our expectations. She’s even helped coordinate trips involving both sets of grandparents, ensuring every member of our extended family has a magical experience. What truly sets her apart is her responsiveness and attention to detail. She always replies promptly, no matter how big or small the question, and her advice and recommendations have consistently proven invaluable. Her dedication, patience, and ge

We have gone to Universal Florida seven or eight times but this was the first time traveling with our two year old. We decided to work with a travel agent for the peace of mind. I asked in our local mothers group and Kristen commented. I had talked to a couple other agents but Kristen made me feel more comfortable and we booked with here almost immediately. She helped every step of the way, and was a great wealth of knowledge. We are now talking about a Disney trip and I know just who I will be contacting for that!

We were in FL for a baseball tournament and decided pretty last minute that we should visit Disney while we were in FL! Started looking at tickets on line and at the military base I work but there were too many options and I didn’t know which one would work best. Kristen is a pro at knowing exactly what would work and was able to get us set up and ready to go! Booking our tickets and setting up dining reservations! Cannot wait for our next trip!

We had a wonderful experience at Disney thanks to Kristen's help! She guided me through all the steps of planning this trip and we had an amazing time thanks to her recommendations!

We were completely overwhelmed by navigating the lightning lanes and making dinner reservations. Kristin came to our rescue and even when we hit some snags on my end, she handled everything like a champ and got on the phone with me and was so communicative and informative.

Christmas dinner was the best at Kristen's recommendation. Lightening pass was new to us, but Kristen gave us some great tips. Kristen also set up transportation to and from Disney with Mears. Went off without a hitch. Highly recommend Kristen for any travel plans.

My husband and I just got back from Disney, a surprise gift from our kids. It was very last minute and Kristen did a phenomenal job pulling it all together. She listened to our wants, paid close attention to our needs and planned a perfect 3 days at Disney. The hotel she recommended was beautiful, accomodating to my husbands needs, and very convenient for our plans. With 5 restaurants on site we never had to leave the property. The bus service to and from the park was top notch, no issue for the mobility scooter. I can't say enough about Kristen's attention to details, professionalism and knowledge of her business. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone. She really gives her all to get you the exact trip you desire. She was such a pleasure to work with.

We reached out to Kristen very last minute looking to see if there was any availability at Disney before the holidays. We had minimal ideas really set in place and no hard dates to even remotely give her much to go on and Kristen was beyond helpful! She found multiple options at multiple resorts for multiple different dates and sent me all the information we needed to pick exactly what we wanted! Kristen was so quick and helped every step of the way to ensure we got everything taken care of and booked very last minute! The trip was amazing and we couldn’t of done it without Kristen’s help!

Kristen was amazing answering all my questions and providing good information before we left for each park! She was even able to make some last minute changes while we were traveling so we didn't have to deal with it and could enjoy our time!

I’ve worked with Kristen in the past to plan other trips before, and this experience was no different! She’s so helpful, offers great suggestions for activities or excursions to try, provides an awesome itinerary break down before you depart on your trip, and takes time to check in with you! For example, our departure date looked like it was going to be impacted by tropical weather, and Kristen made sure to check in with us to make sure we were able to fly out and land safely on the island. She’s great and I would recommend her for any travel needs!!

This was our second vacation planned with Kristen's expertise. She promptly answered all of our questions and concerns and had many helpful tips throughout the planning process.

Kristen went so far above and beyond for us. While in Fl my husband had a medical emergency and she booked us into a hotel and was checking in on me while he was admitted to the hospital.
She made sure I was ok and and willing to do what I needed. Would never use another TA

Working with Kristen was a great experience. Her time she spent with our family planning our trip and her knowledge of Disney was awesome!

I’ve booked numerous trips with Kristen. She’s easy to work with, quick to communicate, friendly and goes above and beyond. She’s saved me money, arranged dining and activities and offered great suggestions. I wouldn’t book with anyone else and my adult kids now book with her for their trips too!

Kristen was a joy to work with! She provided all the necessary information and support we needed for our trip to Disney. She went above and beyond to ensure we had a great vacation and we would have been lost without her!

I’ve worked with Kristen 5 years in a row now and it gets better every year. We appreciate her help and expertise.

My experience with Kristen from start to finish was professional, yet warm and friendly. We had many back and forth emails, which were expedient and very helpful navigating the computer especially. We also met in person to be sure every "I" was dotted and "t" crossed. I highly recommend Kristen and her staff at Whimsical Wishes as your next travel agent. You will not be disappointed.

Kristen is very knowledgeable about Disney and is so helpful in planning, even when having to help people like me who have a hard time letting others take control!!

Kristen was wonderful to work with and provided a lot of insightful tips and tricks for our trip to Universal Studios. She also made dinner reservations for us at some of her favorite restaurants, which we loved and also recommended unique experiences for us to consider. She responded to all my inquiries in a timely manner, even during the holidays!!

Working with Kristen made planning our Disney vacation a breeze. She is so full of knowledge of all things Disney. From planning park days to dinner reservations to transfers she had every detail planned. I didn't have to do a thing but enjoy the trip. Any question or email I sent she got back to me super quick. I would highly recommend using Kristen and will certainly use her again for our next family vacation.

We are so glad we found Kristen! She was wonderful to work with. Full of warmth, excitement, and knowledge. She was so patient working with first time Disney goers. She listened to what we were hoping for and provided ideas and recommendations to create a memorable trip for our family of 4. She answered quickly and kindly with any questions that came up, even while we were there! We cannot wait for our next trip, so we can work with Kristen again! We’ve already recommended Kristen!

Excellent!

Kristen handled all correspondence with our resort, from booking the room, to booking the dinner reservations and excursions. When an excursion was canceled, she immediately contacted them and took care of our refund. She also worked on the Sunday we were supposed to travel home when our flight was rebooked to the following day. She was able to get us one more night's stay at the same resort for a discount! She made herself available at all hours of the day, going above and beyond to help us when needed. She also had great recommendations for sights to see, as well as a list of reminders of what to pack, some of which I would never have thought of! I would highly recommend her services for any trip!

The most educated and eager agent I’ve ever worked with! She dealt with changes I needed to make with ease and enthusiasm, it was all seamless.

10/10 KB is so responsive, detail oriented and friendly. Lots of back and forth, big group, lots of dining. Guides, Hopping, Late additions of parks, days, family and hotels. 3rd time using Kristen. Will never work with anyone else.

Kristen was great! She really knows her way around Universal and I am so grateful that she planned this vacation for us! She answered every question I had quickly and gave the best advice! I was going into this blind. Kristen made suggested and booked all of our dining reservations which was a life saver, as I would have never thought to do that!! I really appreciate all her help, it made the whole experience seemless!!!

Kristen made wonderful recommendations. She was attentive to our needs. Everything fell into place beautifully.

Kristen did everything for us and we had the best trip! We ate at the best places and had the greatest time.

Kristen was wonderful to work with. She always had answers for my questions & replied in a timely manner. She provides excellent customer service.

Kristen is extremely knowledgeable in all things Disney! We had 7 travelers from the ages of 8 to 90. She provided excellent recommendations regarding dining and experiences while in the parks to suit everyone in our party. She handled everything from accommodations to park tickets and dining reservations for us. Her email communications to us were very informative and helpful. We were able to reference them when needed, and she was always available to answer our questions. We really could not have done this without her!

Kristen is THE Disney and Universal GURU! We are so thankful for all her inside scoops, advice and tips. The parks can be overwhelming, but she knows them inside and out and is full of special tricks! I would highly recommend Kristen to anyone diving into Disney or Universal for the 1st time…or 4th time!

Kristen provided us with so much support from the beginning of our planning through the end of our trip. We did not have any issues while on our vacation, but knowing we could text or call Kristen at any time made me feel better. She really is up early making magic for her clients...on the day we were able to make dining and experience reservations with Disney, my phone was blowing up with emails before 6am because Kristen was booking everything we requested. The itinerary Kristen provided a couple of weeks before our trip was so helpful. I read through it and had a phone chat with her for a couple of questions. Then I printed it out and had the packet with me every day in the parks so I could refer to it. Every night I used to make our park plan for the next day. The "rope drop" tips and prioritizing the most popular rides and attractions was such helpful information...Kristen's vast experience with Disney World shines through in her itinerary and the invaluable tips she

Best decision I've made with traveling! She was so easy to work with and helped us through any changes, issues, etc. We had the best time with no problems because of her. I loved how she sent me tips along the way, it made me way more prepared than I would have been. I can't recommend her enough. Definitely book with her it's worth it!

Kristen knows everything Disney! Wealth of knowledge!

Kristen was very helpful. Navigating Disney can be intimidating especially with all the new rules and features offered. Her information was invaluable.

Kristen was referred to us by a good friend and I am so thankful she was! We have been to Disney World countless times, but have never stayed on Disney property or done any reserved dining, we have always been more of a wing it when we get their family, but let me tell you we will never be able to go back! Kristen helped answer my millions of questions and helped steer me in the right direction and plan the perfect trip very last minute! Kristen made the process so simple and worked step by step with me to get all the things we wanted booked! Kristen was so easy to contact with any questions that would come up and she would respond very quickly and provide great knowledge and recommendations! I will forever use Kristen for future planned vacations!

Kristen was excellent to work with, very responsive and knowledgeable about Disney, the resorts, restaurants, etc. I felt like she really listened to our "wish list" for this trip and helped us to make it happen. She helped create our itinerary and provided detailed guidance for genie+ and other information including transportation. I am so appreciative of her help, as it had been years since we did a family Disney trip and I loved not having to worry about planning!

Kristen was wonderful to work with ! I am usually a planner but planning Disney World was just too much for me for first time going since a kid. She answered my million questions and took the anxiety I had about all the detailed trip away. Kristen is knowledgeable and very pleasant to work with and I will be using her to plan our next trip for sure!

Kristen made planning this trip so easy! I don’t know what I would have done without all her tips and tricks and doing all the “hard work” so I could just be excited, not stressed! Do not plan your Disney vacation without her!

Kristen was amazing and patient with my requests, changes and postponements due to the pandemic. Would recommend to her to anyone.The tips were much and appreciated.

Called Kristen after trying to negotiate planning a Disney vacation. Thank goodness I did! Kristen planned out our entire trip, tailored to our presences. Kristen covered every detail and made terrific suggestions. It was a fabulous trip, could not have done it without Kristen, THANK YOU! Kristen is in the process of planning another Disney World trip for us, cannot wait!

Kristin was very helpful in planning our trip! She was always one step ahead of me, answering questions I had before I asked them! I especially liked that she was willing to communicate via email and we were able to accomplish everything we needed to that way!

Kristen is the heart to planning a Disney dream vacation. She listens to all your desires and discusses all available options. Kristen always emails you back, answering all questions in a timely manner. Ever when you’ve sent her a million emails on her weekend off. ::sorry!!:: I could literally go on for days! I recommend Kristen to everyone!

Kristen is super knowledgeable, works hard, and goes above and beyond to ensure quality interactions. I truly believe she puts her heart into planning amazing vacations for all of her clients! We had a blast planning our inaugural sailing on the new Disney Wish with Kristen!!

She was always quick to reply when I had questions. She was very easy to work with and did everything in her power to make sure our trip went as flawless as possible. I also loved that she gave us a day by day itinerary so we knew what to do first and all the tricks of disney!

Kristen is very helpful and informative and was patient with me. I can be obsessive with my vacation plans and want to be in charge and she was good at knowing when to step back and when to take the lead. We had a fabulous trip.

She got to know what my family & I liked most, what kind of experience we wanted and everything in between. She took her time to give recommendations, and even made last minute magical changes I didn't think were possible.

Kristen is the best and so helpful! We’ve worked with her several times before and I always recommend her to anyone planning a trip. Kristen will do as much or as little as you want with planning. Kristen is so knowledgeable and I know when she helps plan our trip everything will run smoothly!

Kristen is great, I’ve used her a few times, and always had a positive experience! Very helpful, makes great recommendations, and is quick to reply to any questions!

Kristen is so easy to work with it's as if the vacation starts in the planning stages! She does as much or as little as you want and literally tailors the experience to what works best for you and your family! She does all the leg work and behind the scenes compilation, sits on hold and gets up early to secure your must haves! She will notify you immediately if there are special savings or deals to take advantage of. Kristen is reliable and timely, always getting back to me within 24 hours. You cannot go wrong having Kristen help plan, book and coordinate your vacation. She is like a behind the scenes insider fairy godmother of vacations for our family!

Kristen is amazing. Super responsive, flexible and detail oriented. She also knows Disney inside and out. I have a big family and we had a lot of moving parts recently with a trip that also got a COVID curveball last minute. Kristen was a life saver and helped us reshuffle everything with limited stress. I don't know what we would have done without her. It's also worth mentioning we have used her at least 2-3 times in the past and she's always worth her weight in gold. Will continue to work with Kristen for all future trips!

Kristen has assisted us in planning 3 trips so far and she is always so great to work with! She has amazing communication skills, is always on top of timelines and deadlines and is so friendly. This was our first trip back since covid and Kristen knew all the new protocols and helped us secure everything we needed!

Entrusted with coordinating travel plans for two group in two states - Kristen did an outstanding job! From attractions to meals, airfare to ground transportation, Disney protocols to technology enhancements, Kristen was on top of it all - displaying competence and understanding. Highly recommend her for your families travel plans. Well done!

Kristen has a ton of experience and had lots of suggestions in how to make our trip memorable and a great experience. She was always responsive and planned an amazing vacation for our family. The Loews Royal Pacific hotel she recommended was beautiful and a short walk or boat ride to Universal Studios and City Walk. With her recommendation we also did the express passes which got us on almost every ride with under a 20 minute wait. We then hopped over to All Star Movies and even though it was not as fancy of a hotel it was well kept and had all the amenities we needed including a great pool to make our experience fantastic. The bus schedule to the parks from the hotel was easy to navigate and came often. We also had 3 amazing dinner reservations. CowFish at City Walk, Tusker House at Animal Kingdom and Mythos at Islands of Adventure. All were fantastic!

She was amazing! We had a huge group to accommodate and she did it with such ease. We had a wonderful time!

Kristen was absolutely wonderful to work with!

Because of Covid, I had to postpone our trip a few times and each time she was completely understanding. Over the close to two years it took from our first conversation to our last one before we left, she was always there to chat with me about every aspect of planning our trip. We spoke about all our resort options that would be a good fit for our family, dining experiences we might enjoy, rides that may cause motion sickness for my daughter and I, how to get around Disney, how to use Individual Lightning Lanes and Genie +...I mean absolute everything was gone over! She gave great advice and tips. Each time I reached out (whether through email or a phone call) she got right back to me.

All aspects of our trip were perfect! Every dining reservations, park admission, resort stay and airport transfers were smooth!

I highly recommend Kristen and will definitely use her again when we decide on our next trip.

Kristen is great! She's helped our family on 2 separate trips now, one upcoming to Turks and Caicos which I didn't even know she offered!

I can never say enough about Kristen! Hands down the best, most understanding, knowledge agency there is! We have planned so many trips together over the years and never have to worry about a thing!
