About Me

When I was 8 years old, I boarded a plane with my family for the first time in my life and off we went to Ireland! I loved this trip and if I had not been bit by the travel bug yet, that trip sealed the deal. 

Since that trip, I have left the country numerous times and have traveled to England, Scotland, Germany, France, Italy, 3 different regions of South Africa, Jamaica, Mexico, the Bahamas, and St. Lucia. Each of these trips was unique, exciting, and expanded my love of other countries, people, and cultures. When traveling abroad, I take months to research different destinations, historical landmarks, the history of the country, key terms in the respective language, foods to try, most photogenic sites, manners and signs of respect so I fit into the culture, and more. 

As your Concierge Agent, I will do the same for you! Your bags will be packed and ready to go, and really that is all you will need to take care of because I will handle the rest!

There is a great big world out there to discover with so many opportunities to do so. I highly recommend guided tours such as Adventures by Disney or Kensington Tours that I can assist you with, cruises across the sea, and riverboat cruises. We will be sure to work together to make sure you are going on your dream vacation!

Maggie knows her stuff! She is available day and night to answer any questions I might have about travel. When I am planning my vacation she takes as much input from you as you want to give and has excellent suggestions for things you don’t know about. She created an entire custom itinerary for me for a Universal trip that took thought and knowledge that I couldn’t have gotten from a computer. The best part is- her services come at no cost to you! What could be better? I will never travel without her help as my travel agent.

Best mother/daughter trip!
Reviewed By Ms. B - Walkersville, MD | Traveled to Kissimmee ~ Florida ~ USA
Maggie was very accommodating and took all of my personal requests into consideration. I felt like she really understood how I wanted to approach my days in the parks and put a lot of time into planning an itinerary that would work for my personal requests. She planned the perfect trip!

"Everyone likes to experience Disney World in a different way! I loved helping you figure out a way that would work the best for you! My favorite part of your itinerary was the Animation Experience at Animal Kingdom, dining with the princesses at Cinderella's Royal Table, and the Ferrytale Sparkling Dessert Cruise!"
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Disneyland fun!
Reviewed By Emily - Alexandria, VA | Traveled to Disneyland ~ California ~ USA
While living out on the West Coast, Maggie helped plan 3 trips to Disneyland for me. Each one surpassed all of my expectations and was special in their own way. If not for Maggie's expertise, these trips would not have been nearly as fun or care-free. She offers so many recommendations and tailors each trip to what works best for you and your party. I can't wait for Maggie to help plan my next trip!

A race for the ages!
Reviewed By Catherine Horner - Tulsa, OK | Traveled to Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA
She made things so easy and was very quick to respond to all of my questions. It is my first Disney half marathon, so I wanted to make sure I get registered, and Maggie got me my bib no problem! She is very professional and I recommend her to anyone needing assistance.
Maggie Ballantyne responded
"I was so happy you reached out to me! I can't wait to see you race weekend!"
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
