European Cruising Specialist

Emily was so wonderful to work with as we planned our Walt Disney World trip. She had great knowledge about how to make our trip the very best. She would check in with us before our trip to make sure we had everything we needed. And, she followed up with us to make sure we had the best trip ever - which we did!!!

Emily made our trip absolutely wonderful. She took care of every detail and was in constant contact to make sure everything was perfect. She also gave us tips and ideas to make our trip more successful. I highly recommend booking your vacation with her.

Someone suggested Emily and I am so glad. I've already referred her to a half dozen other people planning trips. We went to Florida and had so many things we wanted to do beyond Disney. I really loved how she helped me plot out the schedule for the week. She scored me an awesome hotel in Sarasota. And she had SO MANY tips and tricks while we were at Disney. She knows the place forwards and backwards. Lines were long, but she helped us circumvent that as best we could with routes and rest times and great places to eat while on property. It really was a wonderful trip for us and my husband and I both agreed that Emily made it so much less stressful. When we had a question, one of us would say, "I'll text Emily," and she'd reply quickly. Have never used a travel agent before, but she was knowledgeable, professional, and on top of her game. I'll use her again.

Outstanding guidance and follow up.

She was nothing short of amazing. She made our problems her problems and figured out all of the minor details that we were uncomfortable with. She may traveling fairly easy for people who are unexperienced.

Emily made our Iceland trip smooth from beginning to end. We were a bit nervous about travel due to Covid last summer. But Emily assured us that Viking cruises were very safe. Iceland had ended mask mandates but when we got on the ship we had to wear masks unless we were eating. Then they did something that was so over the top in safety, they tested us daily saliva tests. I heard the President of Viking say that was the only way to make sure there was no breakout.
Kudos to Emily for the quick planning too. We booked it in a week ahead. We loved our hotel in Reykjavik as well as our awesome excursions on the ship. We highly recommend Emily for all your spur of the moment travel as well as long term planned trips!

Emily is the kind of travel partner you have always hoped for. She is knowledgeable, prompt and able to react to unexpected changes. If you are dreaming of going somewhere but just don’t have the time or talent to make it a reality she can. Let her know what you have in your travel wish list and she can make it happen. We have booked several trips through her and will definitely use her again. Her rating is an A+++ in our book.

Emily has truly saved my life with traveling in more ways then one! She not only planned multiple trips to Hawaii for my honeymoon, which then completely changed to Costa Rica . Her adaptability is renown! She’s highly diverse in Disney travel, I’ve been on at least four trips planned by her! Shea walkways books my hotel within walking distance of the parks- which I personally love and I don’t even have to ask! She just knows what I like, and goes for it! I love that she’s creative with the plans too. Always asking me about really great excursions I might want to try or a dining option I might like while I’m in a certain city. She truly dives into her clients and understands their individual needs. I wouldn’t want anyone else to be my planner.

I initially had reached out for assistance with guidance for a graduation gift for my granddaughter- a trip to Milan and Paris, and wanted it to be very special. I was connected to Emily, and she had asked what we were wanting to see/experience and took it from there! She pays attention to every detail and made it a PERFECT trip, which my granddaughter and I will never forget. Thanks to Emily it really was magical. At one point, there was a delay in the flight which caused us to miss our flight, and we were going to loose an entire day, however, thanks to Emily she was able to speak with a representative which really made a difference in how much more time in the trip would have been lost-I just can’t say enough about how extraordinary Emily is. I will definitely be using her services again!

This resort gives you no reason to leave. It has it all. Pools, food, bars, massage- all the components of a restful time away! Emily led us in the right direction!

Emily made it possible for us to travel to Disney World with our two and three year-old grandkids and be able to see the magic in their eyes without worrying about where to be or what to do next!

This review is long overdue. We traveled to Walt Disney World in November of 2024. Emily helped us with our planning from start to finish and she was amazing! This was our first trip and therefore had many questions leading up to our week at Disney. Emily made herself available to answer any and all of our questions, and there were many. We were very indecisive on which deluxe property to choose. She patiently shared the pros and cons of each and even when we flip flopped and changed our minds more than once, we maintained her professionalism and helped coach us through the decision making process. She planned a perfect itinerary for our family and it took a lot of the pressure off of deciding which parks to go when and which rides to navigate in which order. We couldn’t have done it without her help. Thank you, Emily!!!!!

Emily is an incredible travel agent who made our Disney vacation absolutely magical! From the very beginning, she made the planning process smooth and stress-free. She secured fantastic dining reservations (which I know can be incredibly difficult to get), arranged seamless transportation to and from the airport, and even found us great deals that we wouldn't have known about on our own. What really stood out was Emily's Disney expertise. She shared invaluable tips and tricks that made our trip so much more enjoyable - from the best times to visit popular attractions to insider knowledge about the parks. Her attention to detail was impressive - everything was perfectly coordinated and organized. Her proactive communication throughout the planning process was excellent, and she was always quick to respond to our questions. If you're planning a Disney trip, I highly recommend working with Emily. Her expertise and dedication truly made our vacation magical!

From the very beginning Wmoly has been a saint! She talked me through booking our hotels, tickets, meals, and rides. Disney has changed so much over the years. Nearly everything is done on your phone and the “Disney lingo” can be very confusing. As a result, I feel like you can try to book it on your own and have a good time, or use Emily and she will maximize every aspect of your trip so you have a truly magical time! I would recommend Emily a million times over!

Emily had great recommendations and thought of everything! We appreciate how thorough she was and her availability to assist with any issues,.

Emily is amazing! She is so conscientious and has a fine eye for detail. Emily is a pleasure to work with, has great suggestions, and doesn't miss one thing! She checks in before, during, and after the trip. We have used her nearly a dozen times and look forward to working with her for all of our next adventures!

Emily was wonderful to work with— she had excellent recommendations, was incredibly responsive, and familiar with our unique needs.

Emily was an amazing travel agent. We
were planning a family trip to Hawaii and
had no idea where to start or what to do.
Being my first time there, I wanted to see
as much as possible. She recommended
the 7-day cruise on NCL Pride of America
to see all of the islands. She also
suggested several excursions for each
island so I could see and learn as much as
possible. Everything was added to an app
where I could easily pull up all the
reservation info, itinerary, and ticket
vouchers in one place. I would definitely
recommend Emily to any friend looking for
a great agent!!

Emily is the best! She listened to all of our needs and helped us navigate the behemoth that is Disney World with our family for the first time. When we had to suddenly postpone the trip, she jumped in and rebooked the entire itinerary with a smile. We are so grateful. You can't go wrong if you work with Emily to plan your trip!

Emily helped planned our visit to the Magic Kingdom and she was indispensable in making our day perfect. I had no Disney knowledge before working with Emily and she was so patient with her explanations and my (endless) questions. Her response time was excellent and I could tell she took her time to be sure she addressed all my concerns. I felt so much more confident after working with Emily and can't imagine planning a trip without her. From helping strategize our day, to booking Lightning Lanes, arranging transportation to and from the park - she took care of it all. Emily is highly competent but above all patient and kind. I would highly recommend working with her.

We use Emily for all our travel and it’s always an amazing experience. This trip was no different. We went to Paris and Amsterdam and loved every moment. We have a favorite hotel in Paris and we wanted to stay there again. However, the price was very high. Emily kept checking it until she found a better rate and made our dream come true. Her itineraries allow us to relax and enjoy and never worry about what comes next or how to get from point A to B! Can’t say enough good things about traveling since we started using Emily. We will never go back to trying to plan our own trips again. Thanks Emily.

We had the most incredible experience planning our Disney World trip thanks to our amazing travel agent! From start to finish, she handled absolutely everything — booking, scheduling, park reservations, lightning lanes, and creating a detailed, day-by-day itinerary that made the entire trip seamless and stress-free. Her recommendations were spot-on. She guided us through all the Disney World parks with expert advice on what to prioritize, the best attractions to hit, smart timing strategies, and even hidden gems we might have otherwise missed. Because of her thoughtful planning, we were able to truly enjoy every moment without feeling overwhelmed. The itinerary she sent was beautifully organized, easy to follow, and clearly customized just for us. It made navigating Disney effortless and maximized our time in each park. She also recommended using Disney’s Dining Plan — and that was a game changer! It made meals so convenient, allowed us to enjoy some fantastic restaurants we might not have tried otherwise, and helped us manage our budget without constantly thinking about food costs. We stayed at Pop Century Resort, which was absolutely perfect for what we needed. Since we spent all hours of the day at the parks, we really just needed a comfortable, convenient place to sleep and recharge — and it delivered exactly that. It was clean, fun, and had great transportation access, making it an ideal choice for our trip. If you’re considering a Disney trip, I cannot recommend her enough. Her attention to detail, organization, and genuine care made our vacation magical from beginning to end. We are so grateful for her expertise and can’t wait to plan our next adventure with her! ???

My family and I are so very appreciative to have found Emily Hanson to help plan our January 2026 trip to Universal Orlando. She was incredibly helpful in customizing a trip itinerary to help us maximize our time and have the best possible experience. During the entire trip planning process, Emily was very knowledgeable, answered all of our questions and was thoughtful in tailoring the best experience for us. If you are new to visiting the Orlando theme parks, and Universal in particular, I would highly recommend Emily as an invaluable resource—she was on point with everything!

From the first conversation all the way through to the end of our trip, Emily answered all of our questions and helped us plan a first cruise that exceeded our expectations. Because Emily travels a lot, she had the best tips and understood the offerings of each cruise line and the one we chose. She listened to what we wanted and provided the best possible solutions that fit within our budget. She is responsive, knowledgeable, and professional. I highly recommend Emily to help you plan the best vacation for you.

Emily did a great job organizing the trip for all of us. We were a huge party, which can be tricky given we were staying in multiple places within the resort and had different reservations and ride preferences. However, Emily managed to balance everything out for us so we could all still have a great trip and do things together. From getting our reservations at the resort, confirming our dining reservations, creating itineraries for the rides, and getting us excited for the trip - it was a seamless process. I trusted her to have everything under control, and whenever I had questions, Emily responded in a timely manner answering them the best she could. Overall, I felt she did an exceptional job getting our Disney vacation ready, and it all worked out very well in the end.

Emily Hanson is THE BEST travel agent on the planet! She doesn't miss one detail, checks in, solves issues during the trip if they arise, and is just so kind, unflappable, and so professional! She feels like a family member who ensures everybody is having fun at the reunion! We adore her and trust her with our travels abroad as well as a quick weekend trip for a football game!

We celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary in Italy and Emily made the trip unforgettable. She is worth every penny! From the start she listened to what we wanted and gave great suggestions for a seamless, stress-free vacation of a lifetime! Every detail was planned perfectly. She arranged fantastic places to stay and eat. I feel like because we used her service, we got upgraded rooms and little extras added to every stay. The transfers from the airport and train stations were all arranged perfectly with happy and helpful guides at every location. We booked several tours and they were all amazing and very personal. If we had questions, there was a contact in Italy to help us immediately and she was a delight to work with. It couldn't have been more fun and relaxing! I will defineately use her again.

Emily is such a pleasure to work with. She goes above and beyond and is so thoughtful. Our boys have severe food allergies and not only did every restaurant she reserved for us know that and provide allergy menus without us having to ask, she also sent safe plane snacks for our kids to enjoy on the way. She's the best!

Emily helped us plan our Hawaii trip for us to get married, and celebrate our honeymoon. Rather than the multiple airport trips, she suggested an inter island cruise we had no idea was even an option, and helped us fill out all of the amazing adventures on all of the islands. She kept us up to date as the travel approached, and we even kept her on her toes during the trip, making last second updates and modifications to fit our plans better. It was a fantastic trip, and we will be using her again next year!

Emily was super helpful in making this trip great and super easy . She was very prompt at getting back to us with answers to our questions . She went above and beyond to make this as easy as possible and with everything we needed and wanted to make this trip the best. I would definitely recommend Emily for anyone’s travel needs. A+ and without a doubt will be using Emily again for our future travels!!!

Emily has helped me book many hotels and flights! She is attentive to detail, available, and a passionate traveler. She cares to understand what our priorities are and uses those to guide her planning. She does not push for one particular option and is patient even with my indecision. With this particular trip, she helped us book a hotel each night of our cross-country road trip. She waited until the afternoon when we were ready to determine a place to stop for the night and found us good deals in our budget! She knows the value of a pool and free breakfast for a traveling family and thoroughly explored all options. I highly recommend her services!

Emily booked our entire vacation from the rides, to the Disney tickets, and hotels. She had great recommendations on the flights and activities. I would highly recommend her for any trip!

Emily is knowledgeable and proficient. She responded in an appropriate time. She went over and above to book my family trip. I will most definitely use her again. She made everything effortless and easy. Answered my million questions with a great attitude.
