Universal Parks Planning Wizard | Universal Orlando, Epic Universe & Hollywood Vacation Specialist

Ready to step into the movies, conquer record-breaking coasters, and unleash your inner wizard? I specialize in planning high-energy, expertly organized vacations to Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood—and yes, I’ve explored the highly anticipated Universal Epic Universe, too.

Universal parks deliver a completely different vibe than other theme park destinations—more thrills, cutting-edge attractions, immersive storytelling, and just the right amount of cinematic chaos. But with multiple parks, on-site resort tiers, Express Pass options, early entry perks, and ever-evolving ticket combinations, planning the perfect Universal vacation requires strategy. That’s where I come in.

Whether you’re dreaming of sipping Butterbeer inside The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, mastering a park-to-park ticket strategy to ride the Hogwarts Express, braving the most intense roller coasters, or exploring the newest lands at Epic Universe, I make sure your trip is equal parts epic and effortless. From choosing the right Premier, Preferred, or Value resort (and explaining which ones include complimentary Express Pass) to mapping out crowd-beating touring plans, I handle the details that make a big difference.

As someone who understands both the thrill-seeker mindset and the family dynamic, I design customized itineraries that balance high-adrenaline attractions with smart downtime. Want to hit every headliner ride? I’ll show you how. Traveling with younger kids? I’ll help you navigate height requirements, rider swap, and must-do experiences for every age.

And if you’re craving the ultimate theme park vacation, why choose between Disney magic and Universal thrills? I specialize in seamless split-stay itineraries between Universal resorts and nearby Disney properties, creating one cohesive, stress-free getaway that lets you experience the best of both worlds.

From early park entry strategies and Express Pass optimization to dining reservations and insider shortcuts, I take care of the logistics so you can focus on the fun. Whether you’re a roller coaster junkie, a movie buff, or a devoted Potter fan, I’ll help you plan a Universal vacation that’s bold, immersive, and unforgettable.

Let’s turn your next getaway into a blockbuster adventure, reach out today!

What a trip!
Reviewed By ThomasTrip2025 - Mineral Wells, Texas | Traveled to Orlando | Florida | USA
Amy helped us plan our first trip to Disney World and Universal. I felt overwhelmed by all of the details, but she made it easy and broke down everything in manageable bits until it was all done. I'm so thankful for her guidance and tips that made our trip run smoothly. It will be something we'll always look back on with a smile.

Detailed and professional
Reviewed By Family of 5 who loves to travel - Fort Worth, Tx | Traveled to Disneyland | California | USA
Amy helped us with two family vacations now and has handled everything with grace and professionalism. Our first trip to Disneyland and San Diego was well mapped and planned. Bless her, she spent hours trying to get us Oogie Bogie Bash tickets on multiple devices! She was a total time saver and had so much knowledge about the parks, so the next year when my family of 5 went to Costa Rica I reached out to Amy. She quickly recommended a hotel and activities that everyone, including our four year old would enjoy. We would recommend her to anyone! Thanks, Amy!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

The most magical Disney vacation!
Reviewed By Laura - Houston, Texas | Traveled to Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA
Amy is the absolute best! She helped us plan the most magical Disney vacation, arriving on Christmas Day, and spening 5 nights. She thought of everything- sending us itineraries and tips for each day at each different park. She worked her magic to get us reservations at all the restaurants we wanted. And we were a family of 5 so sometimes they were hard to come by during one of the busiest weeks of the year. She got us in for an early Bibbitty Bobbity Boutique appointment for my 6 year old daughter - we got to enter Magic Kingdom early! Talk about core memories! All three of our kids loved making lightsabers at Hollywood Studios. She also helped us learn how to use the Genie app, even giving me and my husband a tutorial prior to our trip.
The trip couldn’t have gone better and that’s definitely thanks for all of Amy’s hard work, planning and expertise!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
