The Caribbean - it calls me!!
The Caribbean - it calls me!!

Greetings ~

I am so excited you found my little corner of the travel world! My name is Courtney, and I am a travel advisor specializing in family, cruise, and accessible travel, with a passion for helping every traveler experience the joy and connection travel can bring. 

Travel has been part of my life for more than 40 years. In fact, my mom owned a brick-and-mortar travel agency when I was growing up. I still remember the days of picking up travel documents in duplicate folders… and now we carry entire itineraries in the palm of our hands. How far we’ve come!

I have been a professional travel advisor since 2019 and have spent years helping families, couples, and travelers of all abilities create experiences that become lifelong memories. Before entering the travel industry full-time, I spent 10 years working for the Walt Disney Company, where I developed a deep appreciation for exceptional guest experiences and the magic that thoughtful planning can create. After my time at Disney, I launched my own business as an event planner, curating more than 250 events annually worldwide. Coordinating complex logistics, managing countless details, and creating meaningful experiences for clients further strengthened the skills I now bring to travel planning: organization, advocacy, problem-solving, and the ability to anticipate needs before they arise.

Today, I specialize in family travel, accessible travel, cruises, theme parks, and creating vacations designed around each traveler’s unique needs. Whether planning a first cruise, a bucket list adventure, a multi-generational family trip, a Disney vacation, or an accessible getaway, I believe travel should be for everyBODY.

What makes my approach different is that travel planning is deeply personal for my family. In 2011, our world changed through adoption when we welcomed our son, who is profoundly bilaterally Deaf. Suddenly, we began experiencing travel through a different lens and learned firsthand the importance of accessibility, inclusion, advocacy, and thoughtful planning. Over the years, our family’s journey evolved further as my husband became a wheelchair user and our daughter navigates additional disabilities. Accessible travel is not simply a specialty I offer. It is something I live every day. I understand both the challenges families may face and the incredible joy that comes when barriers are removed and meaningful experiences become possible. Whether your family includes a wheelchair user, a Deaf traveler, sensory needs, neurodivergence, or you simply want someone who truly understands how important details matter, I am passionate about helping make travel easier, more inclusive, and less overwhelming.

When I am not helping clients plan adventures, our family loves spending time at Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Universal Orlando, and aboard some of the most incredible cruise ships at sea. Personally, I have sailed more than 200 times across multiple cruise lines, giving me firsthand experience that helps clients navigate everything from choosing the right ship and stateroom to understanding accessibility options and creating the best onboard experience possible. 

I believe travel changes us. It connects us to new places, cultures, foods, languages, and perspectives. Most importantly, it creates stories and memories that stay with us forever. 

I proudly assist travelers seeking inclusive experiences and advocate for accessibility across the travel industry because everyone deserves the opportunity to explore the world. At the end of the day, travel is not simply about destinations. It is about connection, joy, and creating memories with the people we love most. I would be honored to help you see the world, one MAGICAL destination at a time. 

Why Clients Trust Me

• Travel advisor since 2019, specializing in family, cruise, and accessible travel

• Former Walt Disney Company Cast Member with 10 years creating exceptional guest experiences

• Curated 250+ events annually around the world as an entrepreneur and event planner

• Firsthand experience navigating travel with accessibility needs, including Deaf, wheelchair, and neurodivergent travelers

• 200+ personal sailings across multiple cruise lines.

My philosophy is simple: travel should be meaningful, inclusive, and accessible because everyBODY deserves the opportunity to explore the world.

All around excellence in every detail!
Reviewed By Traveling Grandmother - Orlando, FL | Traveled to Haiti ~ Caribbean
Courtney has planned a few travel events and excursions for me, my family and my friends. Everything she puts her hands to is excellent. She expects her clients to be treated well and have a magical experience; when and if it falls short, she’s on the phone, online or standing in front of someone who can and will make it right. I love that! I’ve trusted her with some important events and she’s come thru every time!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Cruising through the years
Reviewed By Megan K - Vero Beach, Fl | Traveled to Caribbean Sea ~ At Sea ~ At Sea
Courtney has booked 7 trips for us with 3 more currently on the books. She took the time to get to know us and our preferences. She makes sure we know all the little pieces not just the big picture. We started traveling just the 2 of us and now we are a family of 4. Courtney understands what it is like to travel with and without kids. She is always willing to share ideas that have worked with her own. We trust her to always make the next trip better than the last!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Cruising through life!
Reviewed By GratefulTraveler - Ft worth, Texas | Traveled to Caribbean Sea | At Sea | At Sea
Courtney has assisted with multiple cruises for myself and extended family. She’s managed bookings for just my husband and I as well as multiple rooms for a booking with all of our adult children and spouses. I enjoy the comfort of knowing that all I have to do is reach out to Courtney to get any details finalized or changed with the cruise line, flights or hotels. It’s nice to know she’s got me covered no matter what curve ball I throw at her.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Why did we wait so long!!
Reviewed By mickeycruiselove - Melbourne, Fl | Traveled to Castaway Cay | Bahamas | Caribbean
I never understood travel agents. I assumed they would sell me on where they thought I should go and max out my budget. Well, I am here to say that is farthest from the truth when working with Courtney. She not only listened, she heard things I didn't even say because she already knew from experience. She was always one step ahead when it came to our Disney Cruise and making sure we had all the best tips and tricks. We now know it is always in our family's best interest to call her FIRST and she will sort out the rest!!!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Client Testimonials

25 Families, One Seamless Walt Disney World Trip
Planning a Walt Disney World vacation for one family can be overwhelming. Planning it for 25 families, ranging in size from 4 to 12 guests, requires a true expert. Courtney coordinated every detail of our group's trip, including resort accommodations, theme park tickets, dining, special events, and the unique needs of each family. She arranged unforgettable experiences, including a private breakfast at Disney's Animal Kingdom, access to open Kilimanjaro Safaris for the day, and a Fantasmic! Dessert party. Managing the needs of dozens of travelers across 25 families is no small task, yet Courtney made it all look effortless. Her expertise, attention to detail, and dedication allowed our families to focus on making memories instead of worrying about logistics. We couldn't have asked for a better advisor or advocate for our group
