About Me

My name is Carrie Ward.  I live in Apex, NC with my husband, Gary and 4 daughters.  I grew up in Florida and went to Disney World often as a child.  For the past 20+ years my husband and I have been taking our girls to Disney every year.  It is a tradition that is very special to our family with some of our best memories on vacation there. 

I am a planner and organizer by nature.  Planning every detail of a trip is almost as much fun for me as taking the trip itself!  I love to research all things Disney and can’t wait to help clients plan their trip! I am an Walt Disney World Annual Passholder so i visit the parks often to help give clients tips from my personal experiences! 

Disney can be overwhelming so let me use my knowledge and experience to help you have a stress free vacation.  My goal is to help you plan the perfect vacation based on your needs, wants, and budget.  I will take care of all the details so all you need to do is show up and have fun. I would love for you to contact me soon so we can get started on your amazing vacation!

My tips for a successful Disney World Vacation

Top 3 vacation tips when going to Disney World:

1. There is so much to do in Disney World. You can’t do everything so make a list of your must do’s.

2. Plan ahead but leave time to be in the moment. Also, carve out some time to relax because Disney can be exhausting. 

3. Enjoy family time while you are there and get the Memory Maker.  You will have pictures to cherish and memories to enjoy for years to come.

Wonderful quick trip!
Reviewed By TLS - Searcy, AR | Traveled to Orlando | Florida | USA
My wife and I had a wonderful trip to Disney World. I had some work in the area and wanted to tie in a few days at WDW. Carrie made this trip super easy for us. She is extremely knowledgeable and very responsive with any questions. She was quick to make recommendations for resorts, dinner and days for certain parks. We have always booked our own trips, but no longer. We will definitely use Carrie for all future trips.

Fabulous Family Vacation!
Reviewed By Dani - Palmer, Alaska | Traveled to Orlando | Florida | USA
Carrie was incredibly helpful as we planned our week in Florida! We were at Disney 2 days and Universal 2 days. She was so knowledgeable about both parks and helped us decide where to spend our time and took time to explain lightening passes and express passes and how to maximize our time. She answered all our questions and sent a packet with detailed information that helped us plan each day. We had the most wonderful time! I would highly recommend her services to anyone who is looking to plan a trip to Disney or Universal!
Carrie Ward responded
"Thank you so much for your kind words! It was truly a pleasure helping you plan your Florida adventure. I’m so glad the park strategies, Lightning Lane and Express Pass tips, and daily planning packet helped make your Disney and Universal days smooth and fun. Hearing that you had such a wonderful time is the best reward. Thank you again for the recommendation-I’d love to help you plan another magical trip in the future!"
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

We had grandparents, parents, kids, aunts, uncles, and cousins so we had a wide range of ages as young as 3. Disney Cruise Line proved to be the perfect choice for us! One of my ...
