About Me

Spending the Perfect Day at CocoCay, Bahamas
Spending the Perfect Day at CocoCay, Bahamas

Hello! My name is Charlene and I live in the southwest suburbs of Chicago, Illinois with my Harry Potter-loving son. I also have a confession to make… I LOVE to travel!

Most recently, my love for travel has taken me to destinations such as Universal Orlando Resort, Walt Disney World, Riviera Maya and Cancun in Mexico, St. Thomas and St. John in the US Virgin Islands, Puerto Plata and Playa Esmerelda in the Dominican Republic, London, England, Barcelona, Spain, and many, many domestic destinations, with Key West being my absolute favorite. I have also sailed on the Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines Independence of the Seas, Norwegian Cruise Line’s Norwegian Encore, and the Virgin Voyages Scarlet Lady. I am excited to bring the joy of travel to all of you! I am dedicated to using my extensive travel experience to help others find an affordable way to travel and explore the world around them.

As a travel agent, it is a top priority of mine to stay up to date with my top travel destination vendors.  I am a Certified Universal Specialist, a graduate of the Disney College of Knowledge and Club Med University, and have completed courses to earn my Royal Caribbean Master of Adventure and the Gold tier for the Virgin Voyages Seacademy, which means that I can customize any Universal, Disney, Club Med, Royal Caribbean, or Virgin Voyages vacation to match your family’s unique needs and budget.

Check out this recent review from a past client!

I am on day 3 of my Disney/Universal “hangover” and I can finally think straight! With the generous help from Charlene from Marvelous Mouse Travels my family of 13 had a wonderful vacation. From start to finish Charlene was there to answer questions and help with all of our planning. She arranged for a character breakfast at Four Seasons that we will never forget. This was for sure a highlight and hidden gem! Without Charlene’s help and pointers, our trip would not have gone as smooth. I highly recommend Charlene to help with planning your dream vacations.

Marvelous Magic
Reviewed By Hannah - Frankfort, IL | Traveled to Universal Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA
Charlene is MARVELOUS! As a belated 30th birthday celebration, I wanted to visit Harry Potter World. When I saw that Charlene was offering FREE travel services, I knew I could count on her to make the trip magical. Her expertise, coordination and guidance was appreciated! She was familiar with the parks and a day at Hurricane Harbor that we added at her suggestion was the most relaxing. When we needed to change our reservation at The Leaky Cauldron to visit family in the area, Charlene took care of it (AKA waited on hold with Universal for hours). Between "A Marvelous Guide to Universal Orlando" to the personalized tips from Charlene based on her own experiences, I felt more than prepared to visit! Whether it is a new world or a repeat visit, I would recommend Charlene and her FREE travel services for any trip!
