Andrea was incredible! From the moment we started exploring the idea of a Disney World trip she was super responsive and knowledgeable about the parks, hotels and specials! She walked us through the different properties, price points and even amenities at each of the locations she suggested. Once we booked she provided many details on how to reserve the parks, dining reservations and more to make our stay as easy and enjoyable as possible! She even went above and beyond offering to help us get dining reservations at highly sought after locations! while on the trip she checked in and even reminded us to register for the queue fir Star Wars Rise of the Resistance!

Disney World
We worked with Andrea on a trip to Disney World as a family trip and added bonus of our 2 year old's birthday to see Mickey! Andrea provided many updates over the time planning this while Disney was constantly changing their policies. She kept us in the loop of important booking dates and gave us suggestions on things our family might enjoy based on our preferences. She made booking this trip simple when Disney is known for being time consuming and detailed. Thanks to Nicole we ended up with a little more rain and wind than anticipated. Andrea checked in with us before the trip, before the storm came, and again during to make sure we were all OK and aware. We appreciate her taking the time to check up on us even on the trip!
