About Me

I have been planning vacations to Walt Disney World Resort in Florida since 2005, and took my first official trip there in 2007. Since then I have completed the Walt Disney College Program as an Epcot Main Entrance Cast Member and made 11 additional trips, staying at nearly all of the on site Resort hotels and experiencing many special events at various times of the year. 

I have traveled to Disneyland Resort in California numerous times and have stayed at Disney's Paradise Pier Hotel and the Disneyland Hotel, as well as a number of Good Neighbor Hotels. I have sailed Disney Cruise Line twice, once on the Wonder and once on the Fantasy.. I can also book Aulani ~ A Disney Resort & Spa in Hawaii and any Adventures by Disney guided tour. 

Additionally I specialize in are Universal Orlando Resort, which I visited in 2019 and 2021, and Universal Studios Hollywood.

Finally, I am also proud to partner with all major US cruise lines.

Carnival Cruise Line: I am a Diamond Level Learn & Earn graduate and have sailed on Carnival Panorama (2024) and Carnival Horizon (2024) with cruises booked on Carnival Firenze and Carnival Vista for 2025.

Celebrity Cruises: I have completed certification to sell Celebrity and sailed on Celebrity Silhouette in 2025 with a future sailing on Celebrity Edge in 2026.

Holland America Line: I am a gold level graduate from HAL Academy and will sail both Westerdam and Eurodam in 2025.

MSC Cruises: I have completed the MSC Masters Program and sailed MSC Seascape in 2025.

Norwegian Cruise Line: I hold a Bachelors from NCL University and sailed Norwegian Bliss in 2024.

Princess Cruises: I have Commodore level status from Princess Academy (the highest level) and sailed Discovery Princess in 2025, and will sail Sky Princess in 2026.

Royal Caribbean: I have the Masters in Adventure from Royal Caribbean University (the highest level) and have sailed Adventure, Harmony, Navigator (x 2), Ovation, and Utopia of the Seas between 2022-2024, and will sail Legend of the Seas in 2027.

Virgin Voyages: I have gold level training from SeaCademy (the highest level) and will sail Brilliant Lady in 2026. 

Additionally, I have completed CLIA's Accessible Cruise Travel certificate program and am waiting for approval of my Accredited Cruise Counselor program.  

Due to my extensive history of traveling to Disney Destinations, I knew that joining a travel agency specializing in Disney was the right move for me, and I have been working with Love the Mouse Travel, LLC since June 2016. 

Disney Destinations are, of course, one of the most desired family vacations in the world, but I very much enjoy helping adult only parties plan their trips as well, since that is my personal travel group type. Disney is not just for kids!  I also have experience helping families who have a special needs individual plan the best vacation possible, as I have traveled with my younger brother who has a number of special needs. 

I take pride in customizing each of my client's vacations to their specific wish lists and can't wait to help you plan your trip of a lifetime!

We had a blast at Disney World
Reviewed By Johanna - Middlesboro, KY | Traveled to Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA
I took my son to Disney World last year for a much-needed one on one trip. There is very little planning on my part, thanks to Gretchen. She arranged flights hotel rooms park tickets and suggested dining for us. Next time we plan a trip we definitely will use her again it made all the difference in our experience!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

A complicated Royal Caribbean cruise came off flaw
Reviewed By HappyCruiser - Buffalo NY | Traveled to St. Thomas | Virgin Islands | Caribbean
Our needs are pretty complicated - we have a disabled family member and we need a specific combination of cabins, and we were kind of hazy on exactly what cruise we wanted. Gretchen quickly found us a few choices that met our requirements - at a few different price points - and that enabled us to zero in on the exact cruise and cabins we wanted. It all came together flawlessly. And we had many questions in the months and days leading up to the cruise and Gretchen handled them all quickly and knowledgeably. All in all a perfect 10 travel agent.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Great Sister Trip!
Reviewed By Laurie B - Streetsboro, OH | Traveled to Universal Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA
Gretchen is very responsive to emails and ensured that our trip was exactly what we wanted. She made suggestions for activities, meals and hotels. Gretchen was in contact with us throughout the time before we left. She is very knowledge about the theme parks and sincerely wanted our vacation to be perfect. It was!

Fun family Disney trip!
Reviewed By Laurie - Streetsboro, OH | Traveled to Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
Gretchen planned a family trip to Disney World for me last June. She was wonderful! She assisted with every detail of planning it and has so much information to share. It was my (our) first COVID trip so that was another set of questions. She is a true Disney Guru! Gretchen was always available for questions and assistance with everything from Magic Bands to pre-check-in. She also helped me with Memory Maker when we returned. It is no longer needed but we had to use the virtual cue for Rise of the Resistance. Gretchen’s tips for getting in the cue were perfect and we all loved it! I would use Gretchen’s services again and would definitely recommend her to others.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
