About Me

I'm excited to have recently become a travel agent for Magical Moments Vacations. My family has been booking our vacations through Magical Moments Vacations for the past 7 years. From Disney to Hawaii, I know what an asset it has been to book through this agency. Magical Moments Vacations is a Platinum Earmarked Agency and Authorized Disney Planner. I can secure hotel reservations, adjust reservations after booking to take advantage of later promotions or discounts, and work with you to plan days full of parks, restaurants, and other fun experiences. There is no cost to you for me to be your personal Disney planner!

My love of all things Disney started with a visit to Disneyland when I was in the 5th grade. I grew up making road trips to Disney World over Spring Breaks. I visited EPCOT the year it opened. I experienced Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios for the first time through the eyes of my young children and have enjoyed Disney's latest updates with my adult children. The memories created on these trips will be with me forever. I am a firm believer that Disney can be a magical destination for families with children of any age. I have always loved sharing my Disney knowledge with friends and family.

I love all that Disney World offers---the resort hotels, the restaurants, the recreation, to character dining, and the theme parks themselves.  The parks are constantly changing. My most recent experiences have been Disney vacations with my adult sons and their wives/girlfriends. (ages 24-30)  For the past 6 years, our family of 10 adults have thoroughly our yearly Disney vacations. We still love the rides and attractions. (Riding the People Mover in Magic Kingdom is still the official start of the week.) What we really look forward to is all the food, drink, and dining options that all of the parks and resorts have to offer.  We have our favorites, but it is so much fun to try the seemingly endless food and drink options. I would welcome the opportunity to help plan an Disney Vacation for your family with young children, adult children or an even an adult couple only trip! I can help you navigate through the overwhelming amount of information found on the internet and narrow it down to plan a vacation that is unique to your family.

Although having the ability to plan Disney vacations is what attracted me to being a travel agent with Magical Moments Vacations, my agency is well respected in planning vacations to many popular vacation destinations.  I can help you book other Disney vacations and destinations including DisneyLand in California, Disney Cruise Line, Aulani Resort in Hawaii, and Adventures by Disney. If Universal Orlando Resort or Universal Studios Hollywood is of interest, let me know and I can help you book that, as well. I can also help you secure reservations at any Sandals Resort and almost all of the popular cruise lines.

I am a retired middle school art teacher, proud mom of 4 adults sons, and wife to my husband of 33 years. I currently live in Springfield, IL and part time in Myrtle Beach, SC. If you would like for me to help plan your next vacation or want additional information, please contact me.
