About Me

Disney Cruise Minnie Mouse
Disney Cruise Minnie Mouse

If you’re dreaming of setting sail on the most magical ships at sea, you’ve come to the right person! My name is Stephanie Peters and I specialize in helping families, couples, and groups plan unforgettable vacations aboard Disney Cruise Line. From the moment you begin considering a Disney cruise to the day you return home, I’m here to ensure your experience is seamless, stress-free, and filled with Disney magic.

My love for Disney Cruise Line isn’t just professional, it’s personal. I’ve spent years studying every aspect of these incredible ships: the stateroom categories, rotational dining, onboard activities, entertainment, ports of call, private island experiences, and the little-known insider tips that can transform a good vacation into an extraordinary one. I’ve personally sailed with Disney Cruise Line and toured multiple ships, giving me firsthand knowledge of how to maximize your time, avoid common pitfalls, and make the most of every magical moment.

One of my favorite parts of working with Disney Cruise Line is matching the right ship and itinerary to each client’s unique vacation style. Whether you’re looking for a quick 3-night escape to the Bahamas, a family-friendly 7-night adventure through the Caribbean, a European itinerary filled with breathtaking sights, or a once-in-a-lifetime transatlantic or Panama Canal voyage, I’ll help you choose the perfect sailing. I’m deeply familiar with the nuances of each ship from the imaginative details of the Disney Wish to the classic charm of the Disney Magic which allows me to make personalized recommendations that fit your needs and preferences.

In addition to my Disney Cruise Line expertise, I am also highly experienced in planning travel for guests with special needs and disabilities, including autism, sensory sensitivities, mobility concerns, and medical requirements. I understand that for some families, travel can feel overwhelming, especially when navigating accessibility, dietary needs, or daily routines away from home. My goal is to remove that stress. I work closely with Disney Cruise Line to ensure accommodations are arranged, from accessible staterooms to dietary requests, and I provide detailed guidance on how to navigate the ship and ports of call so every guest can feel comfortable, confident, and included.

Because I work so closely with Disney Cruise Line, I’m always up-to-date on their latest announcements, special offers, seasonal events, and new itineraries. My clients rely on me to not only secure the best possible rates but also to provide guidance on when to book for the best availability, how to plan for onboard activities, and how to take advantage of special experiences like Castaway Cay 5K runs, character meet-and-greets, specialty dining, and private tours.

I also understand that no two travelers are alike. Some of my clients are cruising with toddlers and need advice on nursery reservations and family-friendly excursions. Others are traveling with teens who want independence and activities that keep them engaged. Many are celebrating milestone occasions like honeymoons, anniversaries, or multigenerational family reunions. My job is to listen closely, ask the right questions, and craft an itinerary that’s truly tailored to your family’s personality and priorities.

Beyond planning the cruise itself, I can assist with pre- and post-cruise arrangements, such as hotel stays, transfers, and theme park add-ons (for those sailing out of Port Canaveral). I also help with dining times, onboard spa appointments, Port Adventures, and even packing tips so my clients feel completely prepared for their voyage.

What sets me apart is not only my expertise but also my passion for service. I treat every client’s trip as if it were my own by pouring over details, anticipating questions before they’re asked, and going above and beyond to make sure your vacation is as magical as possible. When you work with me, you’re not just getting a booking agent; you’re getting a dedicated travel partner who will guide you every step of the way.

Disney Cruise Line is known for creating moments that stay with you forever. From Broadway-caliber shows and fireworks at sea to the joy of seeing your child’s face light up when they meet their favorite character. My mission is to make sure you experience all of it without the stress of figuring it out on your own. Whether it’s your first sailing or your tenth, I’ll help you unlock the full magic of Disney at sea  and make sure every guest, regardless of needs, is part of the adventure.

If you’re ready to start planning, I’m ready to help. Let’s set sail on a vacation you’ll remember for a lifetime!

Making Memories
Reviewed By Zanna - Horseshoe Bay, Texas | Traveled to Florida ~ USA
Stephanie was wonderful. Checked in with us to see if we needed anything. Helped us understand all the Disney World processes. If we called she was there to answer any questions.
She was a lightbulb … “oh this is what a excellent travel agent is vs just a travel agent who books trip and is done”
Stephanie will book your trip calm your nerves and hold your hand through issues. The grandsons had a great time.
Thank you Stephanie and we will call you for our next vacation.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Finding Our Magic Again!
Reviewed By Phoenix - Baltimore, MD | Traveled to Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
From the moment I reached out through TikTok, Stephanie has treated me like a friend. Through the highs and lows of life and simultaneously planning our trip, she was there to lend an ear and a hand even during her own vacation. My family had a beautiful and much needed trip of healing, grounding, and love since my almost dying. To see my children so happy and carefree filled my soul. We found our magic again while experiencing Disney World for the first time. We have memories and pictures to last a lifetime and without Stephanie we wouldn't have been able to do it. Stephanie helped me to remember never to give up on your dreams even in the face of adversity and anyone who is lucky enough to work with her won't be a client, they will be a friend. Thank you Stephanie!

I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

The sweetest travel agent ever
Reviewed By Brandon & Serena Quigley - Davenport, IA | Traveled to Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
Stephanie was AMAZING to work with. She answered all of my 1 million questions with ease and made us feel sooo relaxed while initially I was really stressing out. We were on our vacation during the hurricane Milton and she even took the time to personally text message me asking if we were okay and if we needed anything. Her countless check ups, emails on things going on, and just her in general is amazing. I have already told my parents to use her because they are wanting to take a vacation in the next year. I would recommend her and this company to everyone who is wanting to use a travel agent!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Travel Made Easy for Hidden Disabilities
Reviewed By Cindy - Michigan | Traveled to Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
Stephanie is an exceptional Disney travel planner who truly understands the unique needs of families with hidden disabilities. Her kindness and patience in answering my endless questions put my mind at ease. She expertly guided me on how to peacefully manage rides and travel, making everything stress-free. While I was ill during my trip, Stephanie went above and beyond by checking in on me daily, which made a world of difference. Feeling understood is priceless, and Stephanie provided just that. I can't recommend her enough!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Alaskan Trip Memories
Reviewed By Julie B. - West Des Moines, Iowa | Traveled to Alaska ~ USA
Stephanie is a great listener who is able to provide vacation options and is willing to work with her clients to make a memorable travel experience! We chose an Alaskan group trip from Anchorage to Fairbanks and back with a guide. In addition we added two extra days for independent travel to Kenai Fjords and a stop at the the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center. Wonderful memories!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
