About Me

Disney is my favorite destination to visit
Disney is my favorite destination to visit

Disney has been a meaningful part of my life long before it became my specialty. I had the unique opportunity to work at Walt Disney World as part of the Disney College Program, an experience that shaped my understanding of the parks from the inside out. Seeing the operation, service standards, and attention to detail firsthand gave me a deep appreciation for how much planning goes into creating Disney magic - and it’s knowledge I now use to help my clients experience it seamlessly.

As a Disney Travel Specialist, I help busy families, couples, and multi-generational groups plan Walt Disney World vacations that feel exciting instead of overwhelming. Disney is an incredible destination, but it can also be complex. From choosing the right resort and park strategy to navigating dining, Lightning Lanes, and special experiences, I guide my clients through every detail so they can focus on enjoying time together.

Walt Disney World remains my favorite destination because no two trips are ever the same. Whether it’s a first visit or a return trip filled with nostalgia, I love helping families create vacations that fit their travel style, budget, and priorities. I stay current on Disney updates, policies, and planning strategies so my clients don’t have to keep up with constant changes.

My passion for Disney planning is rooted in helping families make the most of their time together. As a mom, I understand how valuable vacation days are and how much pressure families feel to “get it right.” My goal is to remove stress, advocate for my clients, and create trips that feel thoughtful, balanced, and magical without feeling rushed or exhausting.

What sets me apart is my firsthand Disney experience combined with a personalized planning approach. I don’t offer one-size-fits-all itineraries. I take the time to understand what matters most to each family, whether that’s character moments, thrill rides, dining experiences, or slower-paced days, and build a plan that reflects those priorities.

From my Disney College Program roots to my ongoing education and hands-on planning, Disney isn’t just a destination I book, it’s what I specialize in. I am passionate about helping families experience Disney in a way that creates lasting memories, meaningful moments, and a vacation they’ll talk about long after they return home

4yr Old First Disneyland Trip
Reviewed By tomfundotcom - Mankato, MN | Traveled to Disneyland ~ California ~ USA
The experience was great. We were able to stay right on property at Disneyland, which allowed us to get into the parks 30 minutes before other guests. The Lightning Lane worked great and we waited in very little lines.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Best agent ever
Reviewed By Heather Madison - California | Traveled to San Francisco | California | USA
We didn’t know where we wanted to go for vacation. Heather gave us a few options and we pick one. What was amazing was last minute. We had to push it back a day due to weather and Heather handled everything.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Reviewed By Partyof6 - North Mankato, MN | Traveled to Las Vegas | Nevada | USA
Heather is so easy to work with. She takes care of all the details and checks in with you before, during, and after to see if there is anything she can do to help. We have used her for two trips and have loved every detail she has planned. I would highly recommend her. We will definitely ask her to help us on future travel plans.

    Last Minute Trip Was Amazing!
    Heather was simply spectacular. She helped us at every step of the way, and went above and beyond to help make sure our trip, which we booked last minute, was as amazing as it could be. I have and will continue to recommend her to anyone looking to go to Disney.

    •Heather was amazing to work with!! She prepared me by showing the app and the best way to use it. From checking wait times to making reservations at restaurants. It really helped us have a stress free vacation and let us focus on what's most important - each other.
