A trip of a life time!
Reviewed By Mike & Arlene - Wheaton, IL | Traveled to Cancun | Quintana Roo | Mexico
My wife and I are celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary in 2026. She looked at different great destinations for us to evaluate. So we decided to take our kids and grand kids (19 of us) to Cancun for spring break. Heather put together a fabulous trip package for air (4 families all sat with themselves). She got us 4 2-bedroom villas all next to each other. Her airport transfer company (2 sprinter vans) was excellent and on time. The resort she recommended Dreams Playa Mujeres was excellent. Food was outstanding as well as the service staff. We have been using Heather for many years for trips to land tours & river cruises in Europe, Disney World...list goes on! She is very knowledgeable and easy to work with for our travel. I can't imagine traveling without her help.

Heather worked so well with us to find the best fit for us and the family we vacationed with! She was open and adaptable to the changes we needed made and always available for our questions throughout the trip. We loved Sapphire Falls Resort and the fast passes she suggested for the park were well worth the expense.
All in all a great trip! Thanks Heather again for your expertise! ??

First ever cruise and epic universe
Reviewed By First Time Cruiser - Aurora, Illinois | Traveled to Universal Orlando | Florida | USA
I was referred to Heather by a friend who had used her numerous times. This was our first Disney cruise, first cruise overall actually. Wasn’t comfortable booking ourselves since this was our first. Heather did not disappoint. We weren’t flexible at all with our dates and Heather was able to find us the perfect cruise within our dates and also get us booked for a Universal trip before we set sail. Would definitely recommend first time cruisers to use Heather.

A brilliant Disney Planner and Travel Agent!
Reviewed By Sharon - Glenview, IL | Traveled to Disneyland ~ California ~ USA
Heather was brilliant and spot-on in every aspect of our Disneyland trip-planning. She also was marvelous to work with. Heather guided us in choosing the perfect hotel, restaurants and park reservations for a “three generation” family trip for seven (from us grandparents to our three month-old grandchild). She efficiently secured the reservations we needed which was a lovely luxury. Heather intently listened to our dreams for our trip, and helped us to realize them with countless valuable tips and astute advice. Her communication, responsiveness and organizational skills were outstanding, and her enthusiasm about our trip was contagious and well-founded. We give Heather the highest possible recommendation, and plan to use her whenever we can in any future trips to Disney properties, as well as to other areas where she may provide her services.

This was our second successful trip working with Heather. She is on the ball, doesn't miss a beat and is quick to respond to emails/questions.
We stayed on the property. It was easy to find places to eat (reservations are a good idea at popular restaurants). We were a short walk from the parks and Downtown Disney.
We used the Disney Genie service. It worked well and allowed to hit all our desired attractions.
Great time, memories made!
