Specialist in Disney, Universal & Cruise Vacations

Castaway Paradise

Hi, I’m Donna Walters — a nurse of nearly 30 years, a lifelong theme park lover, and your go-to Disney, Universal, and cruise vacation planner.

My journey into travel planning wasn’t part of some grand master plan — it came straight from the heart. After decades in nursing, I realized the same skills I used to care for patients and guide new nurses were perfect for helping people plan stress-free Disney vacations, Universal Orlando trips, and unforgettable cruise getaways.

I’ve always been the one people come to with questions, concerns, or “can you just figure this out for me?” Now, I get to do that with vacations instead of IV pumps.

What sets me apart is how I plan with compassion. My nursing background taught me to notice details others overlook, stay calm in chaos, and truly listen to what people need — even when they’re not quite sure how to say it. That means I don’t just book trips — I anticipate your needs, ease your worries, and support you every step of the way.

As an LGBTQ+ woman, I also know how important it is to feel safe, supported, and seen when you travel. I’m proud to create a welcoming, inclusive space for all families planning Disney vacations, Universal trips, or cruise adventures.

I moved to Central Florida because I love the magic — and wanted to be closer to it. As a Disney Annual Passholder, I visit the parks often and stay up to date on Disney World tips, Universal Orlando insights, and the latest theme park news.

Whether it’s Walt Disney World or Universal Studios, I know how to help you make the most of your time, avoid burnout, and still fit in all your must-do experiences.

And if you're dreaming of a cruise — especially Disney Cruise Line — I’m your person. With nine Disney cruises in just over a year (and more booked!), I know the ships inside and out. From choosing the perfect stateroom to understanding rotational dining to making embarkation day a breeze, I bring real-world experience to every cruise I plan.

If you're ready for a Disney vacation, a Universal Orlando adventure, a Disney Cruise Line sailing, or any family-friendly cruise, I’d love to help. I bring heart, humor, and firsthand expertise to every itinerary — and I’ll make sure your planning experience feels just as magical as your vacation.

Let’s plan something unforgettable — together.
