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

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.

The stress free and amazing vacation our busy family needed!
Reviewed By Kelly Probetts - Winnipeg | Traveled to Walt Disney World | Florida | USA
We booked our 10 day Disney World/Universal Studios Vacation with Stephanie. Due to a medical situation with our daughter, we had less than a year to plan and she still made the process magical and exciting. I admit, I had a lot of anxiety with planning along with a lot of “must do’s” and preferences and not only did Stephanie take every change, special request and question with a smile and professionalism but she managed to book every single experience we had on our Wishlist plus more. The time and effort her services saved us was significant and made planning fun and stress free. Her honesty was invaluable. Recommendations for specific resorts based on our needs, where on property to stay and why, where to go and when along with her itineraries made the trip effortless for us and I couldn’t imagine booking another trip without her help. If it weren’t for the rain, it would have been a flawless vacation. Everything else was perfect and that’s a huge thanks to Stephanie. If there were 10 stars, I’d leave 10!
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...
