Adventures by Disney One of my favorite ways to send families on vacation is on an Adventure by Disney®. Disney knows families better than any other travel company. They know that each member of the family wants to be on vacation and they tailor different experiences to varying ages. In Paris, parents get a professionally-guided tour of the Louvre while the kids play ‘art detective’ on a scavenger hunt led by a fun, friendly Adventure Guide. Adventures by Disney® offers exclusive, authentic experiences like pretzel-making in Germany and grape stomping at a Tuscan vineyard. The magic of Disney provides you with backstage access performances, allows you to bypass the lines at popular museums and attractions, and includes all admission fees. Families receive exceptional service while taking part in extraordinary experiences in the South African plains, North America’s national parks, Costa Rica’s rich rainforest, the ruins of Machu Picchu, Australia’s outback and the Great Wall of China. You’ll stay in great hotels at every stop, and the tour groups consist of 40 people or fewer. You get the best of both worlds - family time together with adults-only activities and dedicated fun for the young ones.
Your Disney Going to Disneyland® or Walt Disney World® for the first time is a lot like being pregnant with your firstborn. You’ll get lots of well-meaning advice, but it won’t all be the right fit for your family. I take the time to learn about your family and get the right fit so you’ll have a trip with great family time and cherished memories. Whether it’s a family of four, a multi-generation family reunion or grandparents taking the grandkids, I take care of everything for you with a healthy dose of magic.
Princess & Pirate I have my own Princess and Pirate, although they became villains when they reached the teen years! LOL So I have experienced the parks with a baby, toddler, pre-schooler, big kid, tween, teen and just adults. Personally, I have visited Disney parks and cruised so many times I've lost count! So I can tailor your trip to your needs! Whether you have a princess, a pirate, or both I can guarantee a memorable vacation.

My Agency I got my start as a computer programmer who then added a family to the mix. As a stay-at-home Mom, I took care of everyone - husband, kids and parents! As my children got older, I decided to pursue my dream job that combined my love of travel and my love of Disney!
