About Me

Hangin' Out with Mickey at Ohana's!
Hangin' Out with Mickey at Ohana's!

So, Disney World in Orlando, Florida, is seriously awesome, like one of the coolest vacation spots ever!  My family has vacationed here for years; we even honeymooned here!  I have made some of my best memories here and have curated vacations for other families, giving them everlasting memories as well!

What makes it so magical?

Theme Parks Galore: They've got four major theme parks—Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios, and Disney's Animal Kingdom. Each one is totally unique and takes you to different worlds. It's like stepping right into your favorite movies!

Hangin' with Characters: You can actually meet Mickey Mouse, Cinderella, and all those famous Disney characters! It's like hanging out with the coolest celebrities. Kids (and let's be honest, adults too) freak out when they see their heroes come to life.

Magic Everywhere: Seriously, the whole place is magical. The attention to detail is insane! The landscapes are stunning, the music is enchanting, and the atmosphere is just something else. It's like being in a dreamland.

Mind-Blowing Entertainment: The shows and parades at Disney World are out of this world. There are fireworks that light up the sky, crazy cool stunt shows, and live performances that blow your mind. It's like being front row at a concert every day!

Epic Rides and Attractions: You've gotta try the rides! There's something for everyone, whether you're a thrill-seeker or just looking for some family fun. Space Mountain, Pirates of the Caribbean, and The Haunted Mansion are just a taste of the awesomeness.

Foodie Paradise: The food at Disney World is no joke. You can chow down on all kinds of tasty treats and different cuisines. From fancy dining to quick bites, they've got it covered. Plus, you might even dine with Mickey or Goofy!

Where to Stay: There are tons of places to crash at Disney World. You've got fancy resorts, cozy hotels, and everything in between. Some even come with cool perks like early park access and themed pools. It's all about finding your perfect fit.

Non-Stop Fun: Disney World isn't just about the parks. You've got water parks, golf courses, shopping districts, spas, and all sorts of activities. You'll never be bored, trust me!

So, yeah, Disney World is like a magical wonderland that brings out the kid in everyone. It's an experience you'll never forget.

Total relief!
Reviewed By FamilyTraveler3 - Troy, IL | Traveled to Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA
After posting my desperation for help on planning a trip to my local community page, I got a few recommendations for Sherri. She contacted me right away and jumped right into planning our trip. She has made the process super easy and eliminated any anxiety I had about Disney planning. After she ran some ideas past me, we sat down and she handed me and amazing plan that allowed us to head to Florida feeling prepared. And she encouraged me to call if we should run into any questions or issues on the trip! I am so incredibly grateful to all the work, planning and thoughtfulness she has put into helping me out. Thank you, Sherri!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Planning a magical vacation to Disney World
Reviewed By RPinkel - Collinsville, Illinois | Traveled to Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
It started with an idea of taking my family on a fun vacation. Once we decided to visit Walt Disney World I made an appointment with Sherri Franklin at the Wish Upon a Star With Us travel agency in my hometown. Sherri has done an outstanding job organizing our travel arrangements and helping us plan a very magical vacation. Her extensive knowledge and attention to detail is amazing. The countdown to our Walt Disney World vacation has started and we can't wait! What is even more exciting this that we've already booked our next vacation with Sherri as well. That is how awesome she is! :)

Incredible Dominican vacation
Reviewed By Rick a d Tina - Highland, IL | Traveled to Punta Cana ~ Dominican Republic ~ Caribbean
Sherri booked an amazing 5 night stay for my wife and me at Barcelo Bavaro Beach resort in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. We told her the days and length of stay we wanted and she provided 3 awesome choices. We picked Barcelo Bavaro based on the information provided and loved the choice we made. The value was great. The resort was on the adults only side of the bigger Barcelo Bavaro Grand Resort. Our room had a view of the amazing beach. The food and drink choices were great. The adult side was fairly quiet, and perfect for our getaway. You have access to the family side of the resort, Barcelo Bavaro Palace. There are more activities and food options there. And easy to get to via the "tren", the covered walkway or a great stroll down the beach. We would love to go back at some point with our kids and their families.

Sherri, thank you for recommending and booking this fantastic trip for us! It was everything we hoped for.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
