About Me

Walt Disney World College internship
Walt Disney World College internship

When I was in college at Our Lady of the Elms in Chicopee, MA, I took Travel/Tourism courses at a local college because these types of courses were not offered at my school.  During this time, I learned of the highly competitive Walt Disney World College Program Internship. The Career Placement office at my college did not offer opportunities for this internship, so I pursued this outside of my college.  After a competitive interview process back In 1991, I was elated to find out that  I was offered the prestigious Walt Disney World internship for Spring 1992!  I was the first student from Elms College to get offered and complete my internship at Walt Disney World!  I earned a "Ductorate" Degree from the College Program, which is the highest designation that you can receive upon completion of this program.

I will always be "pixie dusted" and have visited Walt Disney World almost every year (sometimes twice a year) since my internship ended!

I have cruised on all of the Disney Cruise Line ships.

I have visited Disneyland, Disneyland Paris, Disney's Vero Beach, and Disney's Aulani.

We also have been trained in Universal Studios theme parks & have visited often.

Amazing vacation!!
Reviewed By Myty77 - Hadley, MA | Traveled to Aruba | Caribbean
We had one of the best "escapes" this past week to Aruba! We were excited to plan another vacation with Diane at Escapes For Everyone. She helped us to decide on the property that was perfect for us! We also booked our destination wedding, extended family trips and vacations with friends through Diane and have referred her to others that have had great experiences! She was attentive to all details and booked us exactly what we wanted! We traveled during the FAA flight reduction and besides letting us know what documentation was necessary for travel to Aruba, she let us know about possible flight cancellations/delays and were watching our flights for us in case anything happened. We highly recommend Diane for all of your travel needs!!!!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Always working to make your trip amazing !
Reviewed By Cathy W - Hadley,Ma | Traveled to Saint Lucia | South Africa | Africa
We have worked with Diane for over 5 years. We give her guidelines and budgets and she provides us with many options taking into consideration our preferences. We just returned from an amazing trip to Saint Lucia that Diane spent countless hours working on, with short notice as we were supposed to be heading out to Jamaica when Hurricane Melissa hit. Diane helped us step back and find a new plan that worked great for us. Then she stayed in contact with us when the FAA was forcing flight reductions. She always makes it look easy, though I know she spends ALOT of time behind the scenes and on phone calls
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Disney World-memories that last AND continue
Reviewed By Steph Z. - Chicopee,Ma | Traveled to Disneyland | California | USA
Started our Disney World (Florida) journey in 2016 with the help of Diane (Escapes for Everyone) since that time we have been on many more trips about every other year to every year or multiple times a year! To top it off we just went on our first family cruise this year which was, yes, a Disney Cruise! Diane is very personable and gets to know her clients. I feel like she really knows our family and that’s so important to me and it keeps me coming back every time! She is local and supporting local means so much more when you gain such a relationship with your travel agent. We currently have a couple more trips planned and I know there will be more! Diane truly loves what she does and it shows.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

No regrets - the only travel agent I will use!!
Reviewed By ASmith - Hadley, MA | Traveled to Greece | Europe
Booking with Diane was the best decision. She not only helped find the perfect vacation for us, but she made our days filled with fun yet relaxing tours and made everything seamless for us. This most recent trip was a cruise to the incredible Greek islands and Turkey. Diane also booked my trip to Dubai which was an amazing spot for tourists filled with enough interesting things to stay a week or two. Diane puts all the hard work into the planning to make your vacation relaxing and a memorable experience. I already want to book my next vacation!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Fantastic Trip To Greece
Reviewed By Tim - Hadley, MA | Traveled to Greece | Europe
It was our first time to Europe and we had a great time. The main part of the trip was a cruise aboard the Azamara Pursuit for nine days visiting various islands in Greece and Turkey. We also spent a couple of days in Athens. Diane arranged the tours and the guides were all quite knowledgable and friendly. Learned a lot about Greek history and culture while visiting the Acropolis, the ruins of Delos, the island of Kos, and Knossos Palace. Also had a blast swimming in the Aegean Sea. The trip was well planned out and perfectly paced as we never felt rushed or tired. Excellent job by Diane. Thank You!!!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
