Family Vacation Specialist

There’s something truly magical about helping families create memories that will last a lifetime — and for me, that’s what being a travel advisor is all about.

I’m Nicole Judson, a travel professional with Marvelous Mouse Travels, specializing in Disney Destinations, Universal Parks, and family theme park vacations. I’ve dedicated my career to helping families, couples, and groups experience the wonder of these destinations without the stress that often comes with planning them.

My love for the parks runs deep. Over the years, I’ve experienced them from every angle — as a solo traveler exploring at my own pace, as part of adults-only getaways full of dining and entertainment, and as a parent navigating the parks with kids in tow. I’ve stayed across multiple Disney resort tiers — from Value resorts like Disney’s Pop Century to Deluxe favorites like Disney’s Yacht Club Resort — and everything in between. These firsthand stays give me a comprehensive understanding of what each resort offers in terms of convenience, atmosphere, and value for different types of travelers.When I plan for my clients, I bring that same depth of experience and attention to detail. Whether you’re visiting Walt Disney World Resort, Disneyland Resort, or Universal Orlando Resort, I take the time to understand your family’s interests, pace, and priorities before crafting a customized itinerary that fits your unique vacation style. Every family is different — and I believe every vacation should reflect that.At Walt Disney World, I help my clients make the most of their time by guiding them through Multi Pass and Single Pass Lightning Lane selections, helping them understand park reservation systems, and optimizing their plans to include must-do attractions while still leaving room for spontaneity and fun. From choosing the right resort and securing hard-to-get dining reservations to timing your park days around crowd patterns and parades, I handle the details so you can focus on the magic.

When it comes to Disneyland Resort, I love sharing strategies to make the most of shorter stays from maximizing time between Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure to enjoying unique seasonal offerings like Oogie Boogie Bash and the Food & Wine Festival.

For Universal Orlando and Universal Studios Hollywood, I guide families through everything from resort and ticket selection to early park admission, Express Pass planning, and immersive itineraries through The Wizarding World of Harry Potter and beyond. I’ve seen how Universal has evolved into a world-class destination for both families and thrill-seekers, and I help clients of all ages find the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation.

One of my greatest strengths as an advisor is that I truly understand what it’s like to experience these destinations with children of different ages and needs. As a mom, I know firsthand how important it is to create a plan that balances excitement with rest one that accounts for everything from midday breaks to sensory-friendly experiences. I’m particularly passionate about helping families travel confidently with children on the autism spectrum or those who need a little extra support, ensuring every member of the family feels comfortable, included, and cared for.

My goal is to make every client feel as though they have a personal concierge and park expert in their corner. I believe in clear communication, genuine enthusiasm, and making planning as enjoyable as the trip itself. Whether it’s your first visit or your fifteenth, I’ll ensure that your experience feels effortless and perfectly tailored to you.

Clients often tell me that my planning process takes the stress out of what can feel overwhelming, especially for destinations as complex and ever-changing as Disney and Universal. From navigating dining systems and understanding transportation options to keeping up with new attractions, shows, and seasonal events, I make it my mission to stay up-to-date so my clients always benefit from the latest information and insider insight.

I’m proud to be part of Marvelous Mouse Travels, a Platinum-level Authorized Disney Vacation Planner agency, and to have earned the title of Master Planner of the Year, recognizing my dedication to excellence and my commitment to client satisfaction. I view every trip I plan as an opportunity to help families connect, celebrate milestones, and share in the joy that travel brings.For me, the most rewarding part of this career isn’t just booking a trip... it’s hearing from a family when they return home full of stories, laughter, and memories that will stay with them forever.
