About Me

Disney Expert With Endless First Hand Expertise

Helping families plan vacations is more than a job for me, it’s a lifelong passion. My love for travel was passed down from my parents, and today I share it with my two children, my husband (a proud “Disney Dad”), and the incredible families I plan for every day. I’ve traveled all over the world and visited Disney destinations countless times. Sharing my encyclopedia-like knowledge and passion with my guests is one of my greatest joys. It’s not just about knowing the details.. it’s about helping families feel confident, supported, and excited as they plan a vacation they’ll remember forever.

Steph was absolutely AWESOME!
Reviewed By mc111 - Courtenay BC | Traveled to Disneyland | California | USA
Steph was absolutely AWESOME! She truly helped make our Disney trip feel so magical from start to finish. Planning a Disney vacation can honestly feel pretty overwhelming at times, but Steph made the entire process so much easier, smoother, and way more enjoyable. Her incredibly detailed tips document was an absolute game changer — it was packed with thoughtful advice, insider tips, helpful strategies, and little details we never would have thought of on our own. You can tell she genuinely cares about making sure families have the best experience possible. She was also unbelievably responsive throughout the whole planning process. Anytime we had questions, concerns, or last-minute thoughts, she was there quickly with helpful answers and reassurance. She really helped put our minds at ease during what could have been a stressful process, and instead made it feel exciting and fun. Beyond just being organized and knowledgeable, Steph was so kind, patient, and passionate about helping us create amazing memories as a family. Because of her guidance, we were able to relax more, enjoy the experience, and truly make the most of our trip. I honestly cannot recommend her enough — if you are planning a Disney vacation, you NEED Steph in your corner!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

WDW + DCL
Reviewed By AngeU - Ottawa, ON | Traveled to Florida | USA
Steph and her team made a world of difference to our holiday vacay! For WDW newbies and DCL they helped us book a flawless plan: one (amazing) day at Hollywood Studios followed by Back-to-Back bookings on the Disney Wish!! All of which would have been way more difficult and not nearly as successful without help!! We HIGHLY recommend Glow With Me Adventures!!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Excellent guidance
Reviewed By Yvette - Vancouver, BC | Traveled to Walt Disney World | Florida | USA
I’ve planned three Disney vacations with Stephanie now and would highly recommend her services. She has travelled to Disney A LOT and is very familiar with all the Disney properties and ships. She will give you honest advice based on your family’s needs. She will help you get popular reservations like the princess gathering which is a notoriously difficult reservation to secure. If there are any problems, she will wait on hold to talk to Disney and do her best to fix it. If there are new discounts, she will automatically apply them to your account! Save yourself the stress and send her a message!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Best travel agent ever!
Reviewed By Joi Ci - Coquitlam | Traveled to Walt Disney World | Florida | USA
I worked with Steph to organize my first trip to Disney World 5 years ago. Since then, we have somehow found ourselves back at Disney World 5 times in 5 years! The level of detail and care that Steph takes to plan my vacation is second-to-none.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

    Land & Sea Vacation on Disney Cruise Line

    This year I have been on 2 amazing land & sea vacations - visiting a Disney theme park first, followed by a Disney Cruise. These are honestly the best kind of vacation for families (or even adults who love Disney!). You get the thrill of the theme parks, with the chill of the cruise experience.  On the East Coast, you can visit Walt Disne...
