About Me

Walt Disney World
Walt Disney World

I'm Steph, your new Disney Bestie! I'm the owner & lead travel agent, or Magical Memory Creator as we like to call ourselves, at Glow With Me Adventures.

Helping others plan their travel to Disney Destinations is a passion of mine. My love of traveling to Disney Destinations is genetic, passed down from my parents. Now I share that love with my two children, husband (a self-proclaimed “Disney Dad”) and YOU and my other amazing clients!I have traveled all over the world, and to Disney Destinations countless times. I am obsessed and I mean OBSESSED with Walt Disney World. Let’s not forget Disneyland, Disney’s Aulani Resort, Disney Cruise Line, Disney’s Vero Beach Resort, Disney Paris. I'm an annual passholder at Walt Disney World, a Magic Key Holder at Disneyland, a Platinum Castaway Club Member on Disney Cruise Line and a Disney Vacation Club owner at Disney's Aulani Resort. I even completed the 4 Park Challenge at Walt Disney World and the Coast to Coast Challenge on the same trip – visiting Walt Disney World, Disneyland and sailing on Disney Cruise Line, all within four days.

Beyond Disney, my travels have taken me all over the globe. I'm an ambitious traveler, unfazed by any curveball, logistical challenge, or group size. I've backpacked through Southeast Asia, explored Europe—including my father's hometown in Italy— flown home solo with a baby & a toddler from Paris, visited all of the Hawaiian Islands at least twice, cruised throughout the Caribbean, and ridden the SkySwing in New Zealand with my 6 year old beside me (spoiler alert, I screamed the loudest!). I planned my own destination wedding with 79 guests, and have organized numerous multi-destination vacations with large groups.

My husband and I are avid scuba divers, always seeking family-friendly dive resorts. One of our favorite adventures was in Fiji, where our kids enjoyed the kids club while we went diving every morning. It was pure paradise! Our latest crazy adventure was arriving in London for a British Isles cruise aboard Disney Fantasy, only to be told that we were going to Norway instead, with 1 days notice! I pulled together a Norwegian itinerary for us within a few hours and we had the most memorable vacation, creating memories that will truly last a lifetime. And isn't that what travel is all about?

Here's what I offer as your Magical Memory Creator and Travel Agent:

  • 1:1 support and service – Ask me anything!
  • Expert advice – I’ve done the research so you don’t have to
  • Years of experience planning straightforward trips as well as complex, multi destination itineraries and group trave
  • lHelpful, up-to-date information
  • Exclusive access to Glow With Me Adventure Guides, filled with tips, tricks and our tried & true strategies so you make the most of your Disney experience
  • Extra ZzZ's - I will book your dining reservations while you sleep in!
  • An organized, memorable and magical trip, thanks to my meticulous planning & attention to detail
  • FUN! A vacation should be fun, and full of anticipation and excitement. I take on any stress so you can focus on the fun (like what ride, snack or excursion is next!)

 

My Reviews Say It All!!

We just got home from our trip and what a difference having Steph help us made. I was hesitant to reach out because we were planning a basic trip but as I was attempting to do it on my own, I felt overwhelmed. I reached out to Steph & she was instantly helpful in figuring out the plan. The booking process went from overwhelming to super simple. The support didn't stop after we booked. She sent us her Disney Guide that honestly she should make into a book and sell!! All the tips and tricks in her book made a huge difference in our strategy and without it, I am certain we would not have been able to do half of what we ended up doing! With out a doubt, working with Steph made the Disney Magic so real

Absolutely Amazing
Reviewed By A.L. Cheena - Coquitlam BC Canada | Traveled to Disneyland | California | USA
Steph @ Glow With Me Adventures was absolutely amazing. As someone who's been to Disneyland multiple times, I have always planned and booked my own Disney trips, however this time around I was quite busy with a new work schedule and couldn't put the time and enegry into booking a spur of the moment trip. So I reached out to Steph (I'd been following her for years) and asked for a quote and like the saying goes 'the rest is history'. It was nice to leave the planning in someone else's hands. Communication with her was quick and responsive, you can tell she wants you to have the best experience in planning your trip, when you're traveling and on your trip. During my Disney trip, we just so happened to get caught up in the Air Canada flight attendant strike and it was comforting to have someone to talk this through with. I'm a single Mom, so situations like this can be incredibly stressful, we're in another country, our flights are cancelled, what does this look like? Just being in communication with her during that time, made this extremely stressful situation not so stressful. She was at the local fair with her family that day and here she was, on the phone with my hotel in Anaheim trying to get me another night stay. That alone, solidified my desire to always want to work with her on all my travel plans, Disney or not. Hands down the best experience. Highly recommend her. You won't be disappointed. Promise!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
