Luxury Family Travel Specialist

Katie planned the most wonderful trip for our family. We had planned to drive to Orlando to meet our family. But she helped us find some inexpensive flights instead. She also found a rental house for our family to enjoy together for several days. As we got closer to our date, we decided to stay over a couple of days. She was able to get us 2 nights at the Swan on New Year’s Eve! I had the most fantastic time with our entire family. It was wonderful seeing Disney thru my grandchildren’s eyes. I even rode Tron with her encouragement. She was so wonderful to work with and gave me the confidence that I could navigate the parks. I will definitely use her for all of my travel planning.

We'd never been to St. Maarten before and Katie was so helpful in getting us there, booking an excellent hotel and a great rental car! She did it all for us flawlessly and we just sat back and relaxed! We had a great trip!!

We had an amazing experience working with Katie for a last-minute Disney vacation! She was incredibly organized, thoughtful, and proactive, making sure every detail was handled and that our trip felt truly special. We couldn’t have done it without her and are so grateful for her expertise!! We will definitely be using her for our future trips!

Katie Gabbard proved the consummate travel advisor from our first contact by phone to her follow up email upon our arrival back in the US. She planned and helped execute our vision of a Paris/Normandy excursion taking into account our timeline, budget, lodging requirements, and transportation needs. Her response to inquiries and glitches in the travel plans was prompt and problem-solving. We would not hesitate to call on Katie to help us plan our next adventure.

Katie transformed our vacation from "we kind of have an idea" into an unforgettable journey, perfectly planned from start to finish. She took the time to truly understand our family—what we enjoy, what matters most to us, and our budget—and came back with suggestions that were absolutely spot on. In no time, we had a thoughtfully curated itinerary that included everything we wanted—and even more than we thought possible. Every detail was covered, and her organization and communication were outstanding throughout the process. Handling all of the logistics, paperwork, and payments electronically was seamless, and while traveling across several European countries, it gave us real peace of mind knowing Katie was just a message away. Katie didn’t just plan a vacation — Katie brought our vision to life in a way that exceeded all expectations. We’re so grateful for her expertise and care in making this our best trip ever!

My family and I went on a four-day cruise booked by Katie and she made the process so easy for my wife. You definitely will enjoy working with Katie and how easy she makes it to have fun as a family. We will for sure use Katie Gabbard in the future and appreciate everything she did for our family. Totally worth every penny. I’ve already given her information to other guys at work for their families vacations. You will definitely not regret having her there to help you along the way.

Katie’s ability to understand the our family’s needs and preferences, was unmatched. She tailored our experience and even knew what we might need or want before we asked. She made sure to get us a room that was comfortable and cost efficient. She helped us get a room big enough so our daughter could join us on the cruise and she would have enough room to spread out and not feel overwhelmed. Katie kept the cost as low as possible and led me to the apps to help plan more adventures while on the cruise. Having the confidence in someone to help plan a cruise for my family was hard for me, but knowing she had our best interest at heart made everything so much easier! Anytime I contacted Katie with questions or concerns. She answered the phone immediately even while she was out with her kids and promised to get back with me as soon as she could, and SHE DID! I was very grateful to have her address my concerns (I forgot my package she sent me) and she sent me digital copies of everything

I have booked several trips with Katie and she has made booking vacations so incredibly simple! However, her support with the million questions we had and her determination to get accurate answers meant the world to us because it gave us peace of mind. That peace of mind is worth more than anything. I not only would, but I have recommended Katie to many friends and family and will be continuing to use her for all my vacations!

Katie did an amazing job planning a trip for my large, multi-generational family, ensuring everyones wants and desires were met. Katie orchestrated a wonderful trip that included both a Disney Cruise and a few days on the Disney Parks property including excursions, character dining, etc. Having her expertise in navigating the parks and the tips to make the most of the days is worth its weight in gold. Thank you Katie for the great trip!

We waited until our retirement to experience our dreams of an Alaskan vacation. The trip was worth the wait. While visiting four ports in our seven day trip we truly enjoyed our first cruise. The ship, cleanliness, staff and food were exceptional. A variety of excellent entertainment, or a private viewing of scenery from our personal balcony let us choose our own pace. We shared the journey with some of our family (kids & grandkids). There were activities for everyone. It was a dream come true!!

We have booked with Katie several times now with Royal Caribbean to Alaska and a few places in the Caribbean. Katie has excellent customer service and is able to help customers with their specific individual needs. I have recommended Katie to my friends and family!

This is our third trip planned by Katie! She provides a personalized approach to ensure her clients are cared for and have amazing travel experiences. Katie makes herself available while patiently and efficiently assisting her clients to plan and navigate fantastic trips. I could not be more pleased with our experiences. We look forward to future trips and of course, partnering with Katie!

Overall excellent!! Perfect trip for our honeymoon!! Already talking about planning our next trip!!

My family and i’s first Disney trip. Katie has been absolutely amazing. I know without a doubt we would have not made it without her. From coming up with different packages w/prices, tickets, lightening lanes, breakdown of each ride in the parks. Just simply amazing! We felt so confident going on this trip. She is also the sweetest thing! I already told my husband we will be using her in the future.

Katie does an amazing job truly listening to the goals of our family each trip and then works to make each of those things happen. We have had several magical family vacations because of the hard work that she puts in. I would recommend Katie to anyone!

Ahhhh…mazing trip to Disney! Star Wars rides were uncanny. Katie made it super easy and stress free - great hotel, listened to what we wanted (breakfast, close, budget) and had the fast pass access to the park that fit our needs and exceeded our expectations

Katie planned an amazing multigenerational family Disney trip for us. To add an extra challenge, we decided to go after Christmas and planned to stay through New Years. Katie took care of everything and shared her Disney tips to ensure we got the most out of each day. She’s down to earth and listened to all of our needs to help us have one of our most memorable trips! We can’t wait to have her book another trip for us!

Katie planned a wonderful vacation for my family of four. I was also impressed at how affordable this trip was to plan thanks to Katie’s great ideas on finding deals on airfare and great deals on accommodations. We stayed in a dreamy castle that was absolutely stunning. Katie has now planned theme parks, all inclusives, cruises and now Europe for my family. As a busy professional she makes my life so much easier and will be my travel planning partner for life. Did I mentioned this was 100% free? Thank you so much Katie! Our family is so fortunate to have you helping plan such amazing memories! wg
