All-Inclusive Getaways

Shannon assisted our party of 6 in a week trip to Disneyworld. After having to shift plans twice due to health emergencies, she accommodated us each time. Shannon was patient, understanding and did all the leg work to move things around. We had a seamless trip and she was available when any question arose. Our family had a great trip for our son’s first Disney experience!! This is our second time (Avalon Rhine River cruise) using Shannon for travel experiences and will do it again!

I wanted to take a moment to share our experience working with Shannon McCauley during our recent Presidents Day trip, which involved coordinating for a group of 17 people. Organizing such a large and diverse group can be quite challenging, but Shannon handled every aspect of the process with remarkable skill and professionalism. From the very beginning, Shannon was attentive to all our needs, ensuring that every detail was thoughtfully managed and all special requests were addressed smoothly. Their communication was clear and timely, which made the entire planning process feel effortless on our end. Throughout the trip, Shannon stayed engaged and responsive, making sure everyone in our group was comfortable and satisfied. Their ability to juggle the complexities that come with a group of this size and variety was truly impressive, and they did so with a positive attitude that made the experience enjoyable for everyone involved. Shannon’s commitment and flawless execution were key reasons why our Presidents Day trip was such a success. We are grateful for Shannon’s support and would highly recommend working with them for any event or trip, especially when managing a large group. Thank you, Shannon, for making this experience memorable and seamless for us!

Our family of 4, two children, a son 16 and daughter 13, recently went on a trip to Italy. Initially, we were trying to plan our trip alone using things we were finding online, in a place we had never been. After explaining this to a friend, she suggested we contact Shannon for help. Our friend had recently worked with Shannon on her trip to Africa and was thrilled with the results. Even though we had already planned our flights and hotels independently, Shannon jumped right in and helped us fill in all the holes to complete our trip. We were traveling to 3 different cities and needed transportation, suitable for our family, to each location, age appropriate interesting suggestions, access and guided tours to multiple landmarks, restaurant recommendations and reservation assistance. Shannon even confirmed hotel reservations, ensuring rooms were close to each other and was even able to obtain a fabulous upgrade at one of the properties. Shannon was also easily accessible by text or email for last minute requests and changes. We are already planning our trip for next year and, this time, will use Shannon from start to finish. We can't recommend her highly enough!

We were referred to Shannon by a friend for our first trip to Disney World. We had an amazing time at all the parks and Shannon helped book our rides during the day and our restaurant reservations. It was such a smooth process that when we were planning our honeymoon in Japan we went straight back to Shannon. We had the most incredible 3 week trip in Japan. She knew all the people to get us in touch with and we didn't have to worry about any of the little details. We got all sorts of fun add ons to our trip thanks to her planning. We recommend Shannon to everyone when we hear they're planning a vacation and will use her for all vacations in the future.

When planning a Hawaii trip for our family, we had not been there for 20 some years and wanted it to be special. I reached out to Shannon with a rec from a friend and she was great with helping us explore places to stay and things to do. She stayed in touch with us, even when we got busy and helped us stay on top of everything from making dinner reservations to planning excursions. There was a small glitch with our rental car when we arrived and even though it was the holiday week, Shannon was available to answer our calls and help take care of the situation from a far. She was always pleasant to work with and a great resource. If she didn't have an answer, she would take time to find it for us. What stood out for me, was her communication. Even if we were slacking on making decisions because it wasn't at the forefront of our minds, she gently would remind us of decisions we might want to make in order to not miss out on an opportunity. However, she was never pushy! I would definitely recommend her to any friend that needed a travel agent.

We asked Shannon to plan a last minute cruise for a little holiday getaway and she helped find rooms all in our preferences, on our perferred ship, and offered wonderful shore excursion ideas and tips as well as insight for transportation to/from the airport. Shannon has been our go to travel agent for the last few years and has planned countless memories for our family.

Shannon was great to work with. She was always available and prompt when communicating via phone, email or text. She listened to my family's vacation needs and desires and found us a perfect resort to celebrate several milestones in our lives. She put my mind at ease when I had some reservations about the recent travel warnings for Americans to certain islands. I felt that she truly cared and understood my concerns. She also responded to me immediately when I had a question while checking out of the resort with the shuttle transfer. I will definitely use Shannon in the future! Thank you!

We recently contacted Shannon to assist with a spontaneous trip to Orlando in celebration of my birthday. Remarkably, she provided us with recommendations almost immediately, enabling us to make decisions regarding our activities and accommodations within just minutes. Additionally, she secured reservations at an excellent restaurant. The coordination with the resort, conveniently located at the entrance to the theme park, contributed to one of the most enjoyable short vacations we have experienced in recent memory. We consistently rely on Shannon to eliminate the uncertainties associated with travel planning. Her expertise significantly enhances our vacation experiences, and we cannot express enough appreciation for her outstanding service.

I can’t say enough great things about Shannon! I reached out needing help finding a hotel with less than two weeks’ notice, and she completely delivered. She was so helpful, responsive, and truly made the whole process stress-free. She set up my hotel, and provided an itinerary with all docs needed. She was available during the trip to answer any questions I had. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to plan a trip—she’s professional, efficient, and a joy to work with! Thank you!!!

We were so pleased with our recent trip to Mexico! My husband and I had not traveled out of the country in over 10 years and Shannon made it seamless for us! We even had last minute request that involved transportation for 14 people and it was taken care of for us perfectly! We appreciate her skills so much!

There were 4 families (14 total people) from three states in our group. Shannon arranged all travel and accommodations. All we had to do was show up on time. The trip went flawlessly,it couldn’t have gone smoother . Will definitely use Shannon for all future trips and would recommend her to everyone. She took care of everything for all 14 of us!

I can't begin to explain how much I love traveling when Shannon is my agent. I never have to worry about anything. I message Shannon and everything is taken care of. I don't even know how many times I have given her contact information out at this point. She is the ONLY agent I trust to take care of my family on trips.

My husband and I always wanted to go on an Alaskan Cruise. That dream seemed impossible because I am handicapped. I am confined to a wheelchair and cannot use my arms or legs. Shannon never told us it was impossible, instead she worked tirelessly to help us achieve our dream. This included getting us a non stop flight to and from Seattle originating in Virginia. Also we needed a hotel room in Seattle the night before the cruise. I use a Hoyer Lift(patient transfer) to get in and out of bed and into my wheelchair, toilet, and shower. Shannon made sure all arrangements were taken care of. Shannon also helped with making sure our onboard stateroom was handicap accessible. She reviewed excursion choices with us and recommended what restaurants we should use our More at Sea Dollars with. Everything worked out wonderful. It truly was a dream vacation and would not have been possible without Shannon’s hard work. Through the entire trip, she was available by phone by text or email if we

Shannon was absolutely phenomenal from the start. She found exactly what we wanted and made sure that every detail was perfect! She made our honeymoon a trip we will never forget!

After planning a wonderful Disney vacation for our family, we reached out to Shannon again for a quick last minute cruise over Christmas. She helped narrow down our searches with no parameters to us very quickly changing pace and selecting a pretty full cruise and getting creative with splitting our rooms, finding ones adjacent and making sure our extended family members were happy with their cabin selections. She followed up every step of the way to make sure all excursions were booked, gave additional information on some of the ports, and followed up with any additional questions we had.

My wife and I worked with Shannon to plan our honeymoon. It was our first big trip together and we were very overwhelmed at looking at all the options for vacations and the different logistical pieces that needed to fit together in order to make it happen. We reached out and gave her a general sense of what we were looking for (a bit of adventure, and a bit of relaxation by the beach) and she suggested we travel to Belize! Shannon did an excellent job planning the trip and we felt the balance of activities and relaxation was exactly what we were looking for. On our return, our flight was cancelled due to weather and we were going to be stuck in Belize for 3 days. Within 10 minutes of the cancellation, Shannon reached out to us to see if there was any way she could support. She was incredibly helpful in helping us book excellent lodging in a timely manner. We were really impressed by her attentiveness during unexpected hiccups and her ability to help pivot the trip. And to be honest,

My wife and I have had Shannon help us with 2 of our international vacations and she’s been excellent for both! Incredibly communicative, attentive to detail, and takes great care in even the smaller requests.

She helped us with a Mexico all inclusive trip and a Viking cruise trip in the Adriatic Sea.

Very professional. She quickly understands the level of care and comfort you need in a TA. Consistently available for any and all questions. She is through in the planning process and keeps you updated on any changes.

We recently booked a Rhine River adventure cruise with Shannon, via Avalon Waterways. We had the MOST amazing vacation and were able to relax thanks to the excellent planning. She was amazingly patient with some of our indecisiveness and questions. She checked in on our departure and arrival. Even when a few tiny hiccups arose, Shannon was available to respond quickly with answers. We will be happy to use Shannon again for planning our next trip to Disney as well!

I am a returning customer of Shannon's and I will continue to work with her for as long as she will have me! We have just completed our 3rd visit to Walt Disney World with Shannon acting as our Fairy Godmother. She is so fun to work with, and she never makes me feel bad when I ask a million questions or ask if we can try to alter a plan. As a matter of fact, Shannon is just as excited as we are when she is able to secure a ride, an experience, or a coveted dining reservation. She feels like part of the family throughout the trip, and I find myself texting her pictures so she knows how much joy she is bringing to me and my family. We have worked with Shannon on a non-theme park trip as well, and even though our plans fell through due to busy kid schedules, we received the same attention and awesomeness that I have come to equate with Shannon McCauley!

Shannon is the best travel agent! She is detailed oriented, available, knowledgeable, helpful and excellent at trouble shooting!

Shannon is amazing! I would recommend her to everyone I know. She made our Disney trip extra magical. She is incredibly knowledgeable of the parks, hotels, dining and events.

She would check in with us throughout the day at the parks and even helped us book our lighting lanes, fast passes and virtual queues. No matter when I text her, she responded almost immediately to help with any questions or issues I had. You can tell she loves what she does and is incredibly good at it. 5 Stars!! I will never plan another Disney vacation without the help of Shannon.

Shannon, took the time and commitment to help my wife and I find a wonderful vacation. My wife and I had not taken a vacation in 7 years so this was important. There was a lot of chaos my wife encountered on our end, but Shannon with a lot of patience was supportive and most importantly very responsive. Thank you so much for the amazing service you provided us.

Shannon is an absolute rockstar!! Every detail is covered and her concierge service is beyond compare! I would never use anyone else to plan a vacation!

Shannon not only helped to craft and book the most magical vacation for our family that was so perfectly customized for our goals, but she also continued to help us through our stay with a level excitement and service that FAR exceeded my expectations. She helped to actively manage our reservations and get reservations on rides when our prospects looked bleak. Shannon was our little bit of extra fairy dust. Absolutely phenomenal. We would be lucky to get to work with her again and will absolutely send all our friends her way.

Shannon was absolutely amazing! From the second we decided to travel all the way to the very end… the entire trip exceeded our expectations and it was perfect!

Shannon assisted our family with a Disney World and Universal trip during spring break in April 2023. Shannon was absolutely amazing from start to finish. She promptly responded to each of my e-mails during the booking process (and I had many questions!). She provided so much detail in each response, and really took the time to understand all of our needs. During the trip, we texted multiple times each day. Shannon made all of our Genie+ ride reservations, dining reservations, helped us get into virtual queues for multiple rides, and answered so many miscellaneous questions along the way! During one of our phone calls before the trip, Shannon told me she feels like she is IN the park with the families who book with her, and we felt that way too. She helped us so much, it felt like she was right there with us, each day/at every park. We are so grateful for all her expertise and we will definitely be booking with Shannon again!

Shannon was amazing with the details and making sure we knew about the options to make our trip extra special - restaurants and experiences. She helped us get on all the rides without much waiting, and patiently helped us navigate our first time at Disney and Universal.

We worked with Shannon to plan a trip to Disney World to celebrate our son's 4th bday. Boy, did we need her expertise and guidance! This was our 1st time planning a trip to Disney as adults on top of the pandemic. Shannon had answers to EVERY question - whether it was about park reservations, accommodations, COVID rules, restaurants, height requirements, etc. She created a custom itinerary that met the needs of our entire party (grandparents, parents, and our son) and provided great recommendations for our time in the parks -- even suggesting the flow of our day. When we faced hotel check-in issues with one of our rooms (not at ALL Shannon's fault), she took it upon herself to work with the hotel team and we were blown away with how it was addressed. We came home from the park the next day to complimentary gift baskets and personal notes from the team. Shannon was great at checking in with us throughout our trip and after our return. Can't wait for our next trip!

Plans and itinerary from Shannon were amazing! Everything was tailored to our family's interests and our kids ages (8&11). Great recommendations, great communication! We could not have been happier!

Shannon made magic happen! It was super simple process, she made everything easy for us and made it make sense. This was one of the best trips of the trips I have EVER been on.

Shannon helped me plan an epic Disney vacation for my family. All we had to do was give her the dates we wanted to travel and she pretty much did EVERYTHING else! She chose our resort, created a very thorough and detailed itinerary and was available to answer any questions we had. During the trip, she was even available to help me make dinner reservations! We had the trip of a lifetime and I truly believe it was because we used Shannon. We STILL talk about this being the best family trip we've ever had. I highly recommend you use her for your travel planning needs. We will definitely be using her again!!

Shannon was nothing short of fantastic! Not only was she incredibly knowledgable about all things Disney, but she is very passionate as well and her enthusiasm and energy was infectious. Highly recommend working with Shannon!

Shannon was excellent to work with... Great communication, great recommendations, was able to book everything we were wanting and recommend the most amazing restaurants etc. for our girls trip! Can't recommend her services enough. If we had tried to figure everything out on on own we wouldn't have had any free time and probably wouldn't have gotten reservations at half the things we did. She really knows her stuff and was a huge part of why our trip was such an amazing experience! :)

Shannon was wonderful to work with! She is very knowledgeable and helpful going above and beyond to make our vacation very memorable. Shannon was very responsive to any questions I had, she even made herself available during our vacation and check in with us as well.
Best customer service we have had with a travel agent

Shannon was such a pleasure to work with! She answered all my questions quickly and did her best to accommodate my crazy schedule. She was available once we arrived for vacation to answer any questions or concerns that we had while there. It was one of the best booking experiences I have had with a Disney planner. I am now looking forward to booking a Disney Hawaii trip with her next year as well. She is the best!
