What a trip !
Reviewed By Ronnie K - Pittsburgh, PA | Traveled to Disneyland | California | USA
Marisa was so awesome to work with - not only did she give us wonderful suggestions, but she was really quick to reply to any question you had during the planning process. Every step of the way she made sure we were getting the ultimate Disney experience once we arrived, and once we got there everything was set up just as we requested. She even sent us several goodie bags to our home before we left. Once had some very nice treats, and the other had stuff we might need once we got to the park. Can't say enough about how great it was to work with her. Everything she did for us really paid off for a memorable family trip - highly recommend! Thanks Marisa !!
Marisa Kopas responded
"Thank you so much, Ron! You were such a joy to work with, and I loved bringing all the little details together for your trip. I’m so glad you loved the goodie bags - that’s one of my favorite parts! I love making sure my clients feel special & fully prepared for their trip. Thank you again for trusting me with your vacation & for taking the time to share this. It truly means more than you know!"
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Amazing dream vacation!
Reviewed By DisneyDad - Pittsburgh, PA | Traveled to Orlando | Florida | USA
Marisa is the absolute best! Extremely responsive to any and all of our questions. She booked everything for us and lead to a seamless trip. She hit every detail and has a ton of experience navigating the parks, the lightening lanes and all of the restaurants. I wouldn't go back to Disney without Marisa's help and expertise. I would recommend her to all of our friends and anyone else who wants to have a fantastic Disney experience!
Marisa Kopas responded
"Thank you so much! You were truly dream clients to work with - I had so much fun planning this trip with you. Your excitement made the entire process that much more enjoyable on my end, too! I’m so grateful you trusted me with your vacation, and hearing that you’d come back to Disney with me again is the biggest compliment I could ask for. Thank you for recommending me - it genuinely means so much to my small business! "

Mom and Dad Getaway
Reviewed By Brittney - Pittsburgh | Traveled to Los Angeles | California | USA
My husband and I just came back from our trip to LA and had the best time. Marisa was great in helping me plan this trip for my husband from renting an exotic car to drive up the coast to dinner reservations and other thoughtful ideas of things to do in the area. I basically told her what I wanted and she made it happen. Her hotel ideas were top notch and The Sun Rose in West Hollywood where we stayed was perfect. Even some last minute changes in our airport transportation felt effortless with Marisa. She is the best and is the reason I keep planning trips!
Marisa Kopas responded
"Ahhh thank you so much, Britt! I’m so glad you two had enjoyed your time in LA! I loved bringing all your ideas to life, from the exotic car, to the coast drive, to the meals... Your trips are always SO enjoyable to work on! Thank you so much for trusting me (again!) & for the sweetest words. You seriously help make my job fun!"
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

    My Travel Stories

    Roots, Family & a Journey Through Italy

    In 2004, my family took a trip that would quietly shape the way I see the world forever.  We traveled to Italy and Sicily with my Nana and Pap - a journey that, at the time, felt exciting and special… but looking back now, I realize it was something much deeper. It was their dream. A return to where their story began.  We explored ...

    Second Trip Planning Success
    Marisa is amazing! This is our second trip she has done for my family and she never ceases to amaze me. Marisa gets back to me in a timely manner with the answers to my questions, and she is extremely patient and kind. She is someone who does not just book and ghost you. Marisa stays involved the whole time and truly wants to make sure your trip is magical and exactly what you want. I am so thankful I was introduced to her. Marisa will definitely be planning more trips for my family in the future.

    We cannot say enough wonderful things about Marisa Kopas. From the very beginning, she made our trip completely seamless. Her communication was outstanding, and she made sure we were fully prepared and knew exactly what to do every step of the way. Marisa goes above and beyond in every way, and it is clear that she genuinely wants your vacation to be perfect. We highly recommend her to anyone planning!

    Disney Trip - Marisa was beyond helpful.
    I don't think our Disney experience would have been nearly as good if we didn't have her help. Marisa was so patient walking us through all the different choices we had to make, and she always made time if we needed additional questions answered. I cannot recommend Marisa enough, and I will be telling anyone I know planning a Disney trip to reach out to her!
    David D.
    We planned a cruise last year on our own.
    Although we had a great trip, we were really unprepared for all the activities and events on the ship. This time we were so much more prepared and the cruise experience was so much more fun! Night and day difference from planning on our own versus using Marisa.
