About Me

The Traveling Grandma - Travel Specialist

I have been an independent travel agent since 2016. I started out focusing solely on assisting families who wanted to visit Walt Disney World in Florida. Due to living very close to Walt Disney World for the past 11 years, I have had the privilege of visiting that property more than 3,000 times. They are, quite literally, my backyard, and I know them like the back of my hand! 

As an Annual Passholder, I have weekly firsthand experience in navigating the theme parks, hotels, and transportation. I build each client a custom itinerary to guide them through their entire stay day by day. I also remain on call for that client during their entire time on property in case of any questions or issues. I also do not charge any agent or planning fees for my services. Lastly, I am moderately bilingual in Spanish thanks to having lived for one year in Zaragoza, Spain. This is helpful in an area of my state that is quickly becoming multicultural!

After honing my skills in booking Walt Disney World, I began to expand my booking portfolio to include other Disney Destinations including Disney Cruise Line and Disneyland Resort in California, Universal Parks Resorts, Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines, Holland America Cruise Lines, Carnival Cruise Lines, Sandals and Beaches Resorts, as well as a host of other all-inclusive properties and hotels. 

As a grandmother of seven, one of my passions is assisting families with multi-generational travel to help ensure that the needs and wishes of everyone are met. A new passion of mine is assisting older adults (both single and couples) in planning cruises and visits to all-inclusive properties where they can take advantage of features and accommodations designed to meet their current lifestyle situations.

We love working with Ellen
Reviewed By PhelpsMom - Cortland NY | Traveled to Bahamas | Caribbean
Ellen has helped us book 4 cruises so far and has been so incredibly helpful and patient with us. I always ask a million questions and she’s quick to respond to every one of them. She spent hours on the phone into the early morning hours making sure she reserved us the best price possible. We are extremely grateful for her expertise and commitment to helping us find exactly what we are looking for. We highly recommend her and can’t wait to book more trips with her!

So magical!
Reviewed By Hollenbeck - Macedon, NY | Traveled to Walt Disney World | Florida | USA
Ellen has done a great job helping us to navigate our trip to Disney. From planning our days with the LL we were able to get to meeting us our first evening and helping us get checked in (with 7 people and issues with our cards at first) to visiting us in the park a few days later to make sure things were going well. Ellen did it all! She made our trip so much more magical and helped with everything! I don't know what I would have done without her!
Ellen Gerwitz responded
"Thank you so much for this incredibly kind review! It was especially meaningful to help as a longtime family friend. I’m so glad I could help make your Disney trip smooth and magical—from planning your Lightning Lane days to getting everyone checked in and stopping by the park to be sure all was going well. Traveling with a group of seven can come with challenges, and I’m happy I could be there to help every step of the way. It was such a pleasure working with your family. ???"

    Excellent Last-Minute Vacation Planning at WDW
    A huge shout out to Ellen! If you need of a travel agent, reach out to her. She's simply amazing. She helped us with less than 18 hours' notice when we missed a cruise we booked on our own. Ellen got us booked at WDW for the next day, assisted us in getting transport, met us at the station, and took us to our WDW hotel. She told us we could visit Typhoon Lagoon on our check-in day. Ellen advised we spend the next day going to Disney Resorts using her WDW Resort Exploration Guide. This was so fun. Next was EPCOT. We rode every ride that was open in the park. The night show here was absolutely beautiful! The next day was Hollywood Studios. Once again, Ellen taught us tricks on how to best use our early access. We were able to get on the ride we wanted quickly in the morning. Last, we went to Animal Kingdom. We were able to ride every ride and watch every show. On our check-out day, we were picked up via transportation to the airport that Ellen set up. We had a great week!
