Travel advisor for Disney, Universal, cruises | cu

Meeting my favorite purple Dragon

Hi, I'm Niki, a travel advisor with Touring and Cruises.

Here's a scene I see all the time. It's 10:47 on a Tuesday night. The kids are finally down. You open a browser tab to "start planning" the Disney trip, and ninety minutes later you have forty tabs, a spreadsheet you already hate, and a vague sense of dread about something called Lightning Lane Multi Pass. You close the laptop. You'll deal with it next week. Except next week looks exactly the same.

That's the moment I exist for.

I build custom vacation itineraries that fit your people, your pace, and your budget. From our first planning call to the day you're back home wondering why you unpacked so fast, you get clear guidance, curated options, and one-on-one support the whole way through.

What does a travel advisor actually do?

I take the big idea and turn it into a trip that works in real life. Park reservations, ride strategy, dining windows, stateroom categories, port excursions, transfer logistics, and the "wait, what do we do on day three?" questions that surface right before bed. I sort through all of it and hand you back a plan with enough structure to keep things smooth and enough breathing room to keep things fun. You get the trip. I keep the spreadsheet.

Where do I specialize?

Walt Disney World Resort. Resort selection, park tickets, dining reservations, and ride strategy from rope drop to fireworks. 2026 brought real changes worth knowing: new Lightning Lane and Premier Pass options, ride reimaginings, and active construction ahead of the next wave of lands. I help you decide what's worth your time this year and what's worth waiting for.

Disneyland Resort. Hotel choices, park days, and smart touring plans for first-timers and for families who think they already know the place.

Disney Cruise Line. Ship selection across the fleet, stateroom guidance, onboard dining, and port excursions, plus all the small details that live between the big decisions.

Universal Orlando. Four parks now, including Epic Universe and its five worlds, from Super Nintendo World to the new Ministry of Magic. I handle hotel and Universal Express Pass strategy, ticket and park-to-park decisions, and pacing that keeps everyone moving without burning out.

Orlando vacations. Theme parks plus real rest days, ground transportation, and schedules built for humans, not robots.

Caribbean cruises. Cruise line comparisons, ship selection, port planning, and all the small calls that add up to a trip that flows.

River cruises. European itineraries and beyond, with cabin guidance, shore excursion planning, and help choosing the right line for how you travel.

European vacations. Custom trip design for first-time visitors and for experienced travelers who want more than a bus tour and a lanyard.

What do I handle so you don't have to?

Everything between the idea and the airport, and most of what happens after you land. Custom itinerary design. Disney trip planning across Walt Disney World, Disneyland, and Disney Cruise Line. Universal Orlando vacation planning and theme park strategy. Caribbean and luxury cruise planning. River cruise and European vacation packages. Family travel and multigenerational logistics. Dining reservations, add-ons, and experiences matched to how you actually want to spend your time. I also plan for families navigating dietary restrictions, autoimmune conditions, sensory needs, and autism spectrum considerations, and my medical background means I can point you to the right care nearby if something comes up on your trip.

How does working with me actually work?

I listen first. Then I translate what matters to you into a plan: the right hotel or ship, the right park days or port stops, the right amount of structure. I help you sidestep the common planning mistakes, stay inside your budget, and keep everything organized so you can focus on the part that counts. Being there.

Fewer lines. Fewer regrets. More "that was exactly the right call."

Ready to start?

Tell me where you want to go, who's coming, and what you want the trip to feel like. I'll put together a personalized travel plan and stay with you from the first conversation to the last bag through the door.
