About Me

Disneyland
Disneyland

"To all that come to this happy place: welcome. Disneyland is your land. Here age relives fond memories of the past, and here youth may savor the challenge and promise of the future. Disneyland is dedicated to the ideals, the dreams, and the hard facts that have created America... with hope that it will be a source of joy and inspiration to all the world."

If you would like to walk in the footsteps of Walt Disney himself, then the Disneyland Resort is the place to be. His speech on the park’s opening day in 1955 inspired dreamers from all over the world to visit this place where dreams really do come true. Disneyland is Walt’s dream come to life and you can be a part of it! The Disneyland Resort has changed and grown since that opening day. Disneyland now has a sister park just a few steps away with Disney California Adventure. The Downtown Disney area includes multiple shopping, dining, and entertainment opportunities.

There are three Disney owned and operated hotels to choose from: Disney’s Pixar Place, the Disneyland Hotel, and the majestic Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa. All of these hotels are within a short walk to the fun and excitement of the Disneyland theme parks making the entire resort area easily accessible.

It’s also very easy to extend your Southern California vacation to include a stay in San Diego where you can find the famous San Diego Zoo, Sea World, and Legoland. Don’t forget about the lovely California beaches too!

Attention to detail
Reviewed By Pam and Steve Oslos - Brainerd MN | Traveled to Alaska ~ USA
Laurie has had attention to every detail of our traveling, things that I never would have thought of Laurie has covered!! She has helped us before, during and after our vacations. We have had experiences we have contacted her for while traveling such as illness that she was able to make phone calls on the home front taking the worry out of details for us. After working with her over the past few years, she knows what things we like to do and puts together travel plans for us that we would not think of!
Thanks Laurie for your professional and fun planning!

Client Testimonials

The Wold Family
Thank you for all your hard work in planning and organizing our amazing Disney World trip. The trip was a brilliant success from start to finish, and all 11 of us had a delightful time. The Savannah view suites at the Jambo House were perfect. Needless to say, a jaw dropping experience for all of us. Transportation to and from the various parks was very efficient, particularly with regards to the scooter I rented, which was a lifesaver for me. I was very impressed with the accessibility to rides. With two strong young men in our group to help me, there were very few rides that I couldn’t take part in. Everything went off so smoothly and seamlessly thanks for your expert advice and planning. We are so thankful that we contacted you before my diagnosis to begin working your magic, and that we were able to enjoy an exceptional vacation together that will provide lifelong memories for all of us.
