“Because your time is precious—and your vacation should be effortless."

Hi, I’m Kim Shanahan, and I’m passionate about turning travel dreams into beautifully organized, stress-free realities. With over 15 years of experience in wedding and event planning and now as a professional travel advisor, I specialize in helping busy families, couples, and groups enjoy seamless, customized vacations designed around what matters most to them—connection, relaxation, and unforgettable memories.I work with travelers who value expert guidance, personal service, and exceptional experiences. Whether you’re planning your family’s next Disney or Universal adventure, a romantic honeymoon in paradise, a sun-soaked all-inclusive getaway, or a luxurious cruise to tropical destinations, I’m here to make it happen—effortlessly.

Travel has always been my passion and my happy place. There’s something magical about discovering new destinations, creating lifelong memories, and experiencing the joy of travel with the people you love most. I’ve visited Walt Disney World more than 20 times, sailed on multiple cruise lines, and enjoyed countless Caribbean and beach vacations. My favorite trips always include warm weather, ocean views, and that blissful feeling of escape—because for me, water truly is my happy place.Having experienced so many of the destinations I recommend, I bring firsthand insight and genuine enthusiasm to every itinerary I create. I know how to anticipate challenges, navigate the small details, and ensure that every part of your journey—from booking to boarding—is smooth, personalized, and worry-free.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of helping hundreds of clients design vacations that fit their dreams, lifestyles, and budgets. From multigenerational family trips and destination weddings to romantic honeymoons, luxury escapes, and group cruises, I treat every trip as if it were my own—crafted with care, creativity, and attention to detail.As a Certified Disney, Universal, and Cruise Specialist, I stay up-to-date on the latest destinations, promotions, and insider opportunities, ensuring my clients always receive the best experiences and value. Backed by an award-winning agency, I have access to exclusive partnerships, special offers, and VIP-level support—allowing me to deliver the kind of white-glove service today’s traveler deserves.

My years in event planning taught me the power of organization, timing, and personalization. I pride myself on being responsive, resourceful, and relentlessly detail-oriented—because your vacation deserves the same precision and care as any special event. From our first consultation to your welcome-home message, you’ll always have a trusted professional by your side who genuinely cares about your experience.

At the heart of it all, I believe travel is so much more than a trip—it’s a chance to reconnect, recharge, and create moments that will last a lifetime. I don’t just plan vacations; I curate experiences designed around your story.So whether you’re ready to set sail through the Caribbean, relax at a world-class all-inclusive, or experience the wonder of Disney or Universal—I’d love to help make it effortless, memorable, and perfectly you.

"Because the world is waiting… and your next great adventure is just a conversation away."

Disneyland Paris- Love working with Kim!
Reviewed By Dula - Cincinnati, Ohio | Traveled to Disneyland Paris | France | Europe
We’ve had a great experience with Kim Shanahan from vacationeer travel. We started planning our first trip to Disney last year and are now planning our third vacation with Kim and are looking forward to more. Her expertise in all things Disney is amazing, tailoring hotels and experiences to our boys interests and abilities. Because she has a young granddaughter, she truly has her finger on the pulse of what works and what’s exciting for families. Even going so far as to help us plan a trip to Disney Paris last month, leveraging her contacts and helping us navigate the language barrier, stroller rentals, character experiences and hotels. She has created multiple magical Disney experiences for us.

Lots of communication
Reviewed By Monique - Fairfax, VA | Traveled to Alaska | USA
I’ve used Kim’s help a couple of times and so has my family. I love all the communication she sends out to help keep you on track and in the know for your trip. I also love that I always receive some type of perk (like onboard credits for cruises) on top of the complimentary planning assistance! I consider myself a Disney expert and can certainly book and plan my trips better than most, but I still chose to utilize Kim’s assistance because it costs me nothing extra, but helps out a small business.
Kim Shanahan responded
"Thanks so much, Monique! ?? Your kind words mean so much, especially coming from someone who knows vacation planning so well. I'm grateful you continue to trust me with your travels. I love making the planning process easy and stress-free while adding a little extra magic with perks like onboard credit. Thank you for supporting my small business—I truly appreciate it! I can't wait to help plan your next adventure! ?????"

One of our favorite days was our stop in Key West. We rented a golf cart right near the port, which is a grea way to explore the island. Our morning started with br...

Client Testimonials

Disney During Hurricane Miltion
Me and my family cannot thank you enough for the fantastic support, suggestions, and expertise that you provided. We spoke of you often around our house and how privileged and "ahead of the game" we felt with our own personal vacation planner! You were always quick to get back to us no matter how small the question and even made yourself available late evenings and weekends if needed. I of course have to mention the comfort you provided during the challenges of Hurricane Milton. You really put me and my family at ease during a stressful set of circumstances. We will certainly go to you for any future Disney needs and will refer you to friends and family.
