Disney Cruise
Reviewed By Nita - Austin, TX | Traveled to Progreso | Yucatan | Mexico
Arrival and loading onto the ship was was easy and seamless. The room was comfortable, quiet and had plenty of storage. We loved the Christmas season decorations! The evening dining that Ms. Murray set up for us was wonderful. We were able to eat in all the dining rooms with our family and each dining room had a unique experience. The shows in the main theater showcased super talent, interesting story lines, great staging and technical support! The days were filled with trivia, drawing lessons and crafts. Our 9 year old granddaughter especially enjoyed her age appropriate rooms. We did not participate in most of the dancing and evening parties but our kids and grandkids enjoyed them. Leaving was also painless-no long lines!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Disney cruise
Reviewed By Nita - Austin, TX | Traveled to Progreso | Yucatan | Mexico
The ship was beautifully decorated for the Christmas season. Arrival and loading the ship were extremely smooth. People were everywhere to answer any questions. We especially enjoyed dining together with our family in the evenings. Ms Ensrude had arranged times and dining rooms. We loved having our servers follow us to the different dining rooms. The evening show had amazing talent, story lines, backdrops and technical support. Each day was filled with fun activities and our 9year old granddaughter had fun in her age appropriate rooms.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

The Best Trip Ever!
Reviewed By SCM10 - Austin, Texas | Traveled to Progreso | Yucatan | Mexico
Kristen booked rooms that met the needs of our traveling family and kept us close to the action on the ship. She anrranged our dinner service to start with Rapunzel’s Royal dinner on the same day as our daughter’s Bibbity Bopity Boo Boutique appointment allowing her to go to dinner dressed as Rupunzel. She arranged pretravel cruise accommodations that were comfortable and close to the cruise terminal making it easy to transition on and off the ship.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Disney Done Right!
Reviewed By Sean - St. Louis, MO | Traveled to Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
Kristen is an excellent travel guide! Her knowledge about Disney is impressive. She gave us great ideas for places to eat, Lightening Lane usage, time saving tips, and best of all, cost saving tips. Our family trip to Disney World was carefree from the airport, to the resort, to the parks, and back home.
I could not have planned so many details with my busy schedule. Best of all she understood my families needs and dreams for this vacation. I felt she listened and she was a lot of fun to plan with. I recommend her for your next family trip.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

50th Anniversary
Reviewed By Nita - Austin, TX | Traveled to Galveston ~ Texas ~ USA
For our 50th Anniversary, K. Murray planned a fabulous family gathering at a Galveston condo that has a private beach. There were games and activities provided for all ages. Then we enjoyed a Caribbean cruise. Ms. Murray was able to arrange comfortable rooms next to each other, plus a family dining experience every night with a stunning view of the sea.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
