About Me

Green World Coffee Farm on Oahu, Hawaii

I love to travel and create amazing memories through new experiences. I have been in the travel industry for 7+ years. I primarily focus on helping clients plan vacations through the Disney Destinations portfolio. I worked for the Walt Disney World Resort for 8 years. I've also visited Disneyland multiple times, experienced Aulani: A Disney Resort and Spa, and sailed on 4 Disney Cruises. I am a graduate of the Disney College of Knowledge and have planned Disney Destination Vacations for over 50+ families in the last 6 years. Disney is what started me in this industry. 

I have earned my certificate of Universal Orlando Travel Specialist and am a member of CLIA. I have also become a Certified Sandals Specialist. I pride myself on providing recommendations for local culinary experiences and tour providers in the destinations that I plan travel for. It is important to me to give back to the destinations that give so much to us.

Helping clients of varying abilities travel and create memories with their loved ones is important to me. I have completed training and am a Certified Autism Travel Professional. I am so honored to help clients with varying abilities experience travel in a way that is meaningful and more inclusive to them. 

I am excited to be able to help clients plan memorable vacations to a number of great destinations. What is most important to me to help clients create amazing memories through the destinations and experiences with the ones that matter most to them. I work to take the stress out of planning so my clients can focus more on the experience and destination.

Graduation Trip Perfection
Reviewed By Laura T - West Chester PA | Traveled to Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA
Lauren planned the perfect graduation trip for us! The planning started with her providing several options based on our budget. She knows everything about all of the resorts and was able to get us the perfect places for our larger (teenagers) family. We wanted to plan time at 2 resorts including Disney and Universal. Her planning was seamless. She handled everything from the park tickets, park reservations, meal reservations and everything in between. She taught me all about the apps and how to utilize them to get everything we wanted. She suggested many things that we would never have even known were an option! During the trip she checked in with us and even surprised my daughter with a gift of her favorite character! Working with Lauren was seamless and she planned the PERFECT trip for our family! We HIGHLY recommend Lauren!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Booking the Magic
Reviewed By Mary - Detroit, MI | Traveled to Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
Even though I'm an experienced guest of Walt Disney World, it was helpful and eased some planning stress to book through Lauren. The first time we wanted to stay at a resort that wasn’t taking reservations yet (closed due to pandemic) and she made sure to let us know when we could book there. She also helped us reschedule that trip when something came up, which took less than five minutes to do. The second time we booked through her there was a Disney+ Subscribers deal that she helped us secure for our trip. I also greatly appreciated the email reminders for dining reservation bookings and final payments.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Mommy and Me Disney Cruise to Bermuda

In October 2022 I was lucky enough to take my daughter who was 2.5 years old on a 5 night Disney Cruise Line vacation to Bermuda. This was the perfect Mommy and Me vacation even though she was so young. The ship sailed from New York which was a short drive from our house. We parked right at the Port Terminal and went on our merry way to enjoy ou...
