Who doesn't love a Disney vacation?  Times have changed with park rules ad requirements.  It is a lot to take in and keep straight and family vacations should stress free and jam packed full of fun and making memories.  I have kept up with Disney Destinations training programs for my entire career and take pride in my knowledge and ability to take a wish and make it a reality!

Made Complicated Arrangements So Easy!
Reviewed By On the Road - Davis, CA | Traveled to Europe
Kathryn was a great help to us with the trickiest part of our travel planning. I always worry about purchasing international train tickets, but Kathryn made this quick and simple for us. She also went the extra mile in working on a car rental for us as a back up in case of a train strike. And on top of all this she made our arrangements for an international local RT flight, with challenging baggage control issues. Excellent service!
Kathryn Smith responded
"Thank you Jan and Ray. It was a fun out of the box trip to plan with you and I look forward to hearing all about it when you return."
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

The private tours were great
Reviewed By DebB - Southfield, MI | Traveled to Europe

Luxury at its best
Reviewed By Jamescooking - Ellsworth, ME | Traveled to Ocho Rios | Jamaica | Caribbean
I have stayed at the Moon Palace in Cancun many times but when I called Kathryn to book she made a suggestion to try a different destination so we settled on Jamaica and we booked the Moon Palace. Wow can you say luxury? So many dining options and all included. The Spa was our favorite and Kathryn was able to assist us in choosing treatments and getting them booked for us. We took advantage of the included non motorized water sports and even ventured out to take a trip to waterfalls which was so relaxing. I am convinced Kathryn will always be the one for us. Thanks friend!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Disneyland Rocks!
Reviewed By disneygramma17 - Portland, OR | Traveled to Disneyland | California | USA
I was referred to Kathryn from an old friend of mine who uses her service regularly and I am so glad I called. From the moment I met Kathryn we had so much in common and she really knew what she was talking about. I was taking my 8 year old granddaughter for her first trip to Disneyland and it was as magical as could be. Kathryn recommended the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique experience for my granddaughter and it was worth every penny. Kathryn also helped us navigate dining options and many suggestions for places to take a time out from the rides to relax and just enjoy the atmosphere. Kathryn is your girl for all things Disney!!!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

What a gem of a cruise line
Reviewed By amandatravels - Berkeley, CA | Traveled to Caribbean
Kathryn thank you thank you thank you. Our girls trip on Virgin Cruise Line was utterly unforgettable. We didn't know that an adults only cruise line existed until we spoke to Kathryn about our options for our college friends girls trip. We couldn't have been anymore satisfied with the arrangements Kathryn made for us. Seamless travel and embarkation was so simple. Kathryn made us fully aware of what was included and not included so we could plan accordingly and it couldn't have been more perfect. Look out cause this is going to become an annual trip for us!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
