About Me

Disney Destinations Specialist
Disney Destinations Specialist

I love helping families and Disney fans create seamless, magical vacations ~ from the heart of Disneyland and Walt Disney World to Disney Cruise Line cruises, Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa, Ko Olina, Hawai‘i, and global Adventures by Disney and National Geographic trips ~ ensuring every moment is thoughtfully planned and truly unforgettable.

I love helping families, couples, and groups plan Disney vacations that are effortless, stress-free, and full of magic. Disney has always held a special place in my heart ~ my love for it began as a child, traveling with my grandparents, and grew as I brought my own children from a young age, experiencing the joy and wonder through their eyes. Now, seeing them grow older and imagining the day they share that magic with their own families…it’s truly what life is all about.

From those early trips that opened my eyes to the world in meaningful ways, igniting my love of travel and exploration, I’ve carried that passion into helping others create unforgettable Disney memories. I know planning can feel overwhelming and that’s where I step in.

Each destination is special in its own way, and I’m passionate about helping clients make the most of every moment.

  • Disneyland – The original park that started it all! I love helping first-time visitors and young families navigate this iconic park, knowing they are standing in the place Walt built. I help Disney fans experience Disneyland in ways that are both fun and meaningful, ensuring there’s time built in for all the little magical moments that make this park so unforgettable.

  • Walt Disney World – With so much to see and do, it can feel overwhelming, but that’s where I shine. I work with clients to plan every detail so they can experience the magic without stress, creating days that flow and memories that last a lifetime.

  • Disney Cruise Line – One of my personal favorites! Disney cruises are unlike any other cruise line, pulling you into the story in ways that are hard to put into words. From rotational dining and Broadway-caliber shows that move you, to kids’ clubs your kids will beg to stay in, and the incredible private islands of Castaway Cay and Lighthouse Point, these cruises are magical on every level.

  • Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa – One of our favorite places in the world! Aulani is the perfect blend of the Hawaiian spirit with just the right touch of Disney magic, creating a vacation that is relaxing, inspiring, and unforgettable.

  • Adventures by Disney – For travelers who want expertly guided trips with all the details handled, I love helping clients experience immersive cultural adventures across the globe.

  • National Geographic Expeditions – For those seeking extraordinary exploration, I guide clients on life-changing journeys where adventure, discovery, and comfort meet, ensuring every moment is carefully curated and unforgettable.

  • International Theme Parks - From Disneyland Paris to Tokyo Disney Resort, Hong Kong Disneyland, and Shanghai Disney Resort, I love helping clients experience Disney magic around the world, creating trips that are as unique as each destination.

No matter the destination, my goal is to make travel feel seamless and stress-free, allowing clients to fully enjoy every magical, adventurous, or culturally rich moment. I love helping people experience these trips in meaningful ways, whether it’s through expertly timed itineraries, special touches, or simply knowing you’re fully taken care of.

Disney magic!
Reviewed By mrsjay2001 - Blackwood, NJ | Traveled to Fort Lauderdale | Florida | USA
We just got back from our Disney Cruise, and it was absolutely amazing, all thanks to our incredible travel agent, Desiree from Always an Adventure Travel! From the very beginning, she made the entire planning process so easy and stress-free. She helped us choose the perfect itinerary, answered every question (even the random late-night ones!), and made sure we didn’t miss a single detail. Desiree went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of from dining times and excursions to special surprises for our kids. Her Disney knowledge is unmatched, and you can tell she truly loves what she does. Because of her, our family was able to just relax, have fun, and make the most of every moment. If you’re planning a Disney vacation do yourself a favor and reach out to Desiree. She’ll make sure your trip is nothing short of magical!

Incredible Service – A Seamless European Journey!
Reviewed By MrsGranger - Yardley, PA | Traveled to Budapest | Hungary | Europe
I can't say enough good things about my experience working with Des! She was highly recommended to me by a colleague. From the moment I reached out with interest in a European river cruise, she took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and curated an unforgettable trip that exceeded all our expectations. The river cruise itself was absolutely delightful. Every detail was taken care of, from the itinerary to the excursions, and I felt completely confident knowing that everything had been arranged with utmost care. What really stood out, though, was the thoughtful planning of my post-cruise stay in Budapest. Des recommended the perfect hotel in a great location, suggested amazing local experiences, and made sure we had everything we needed for a smooth transition from ship to city. Her knowledge, responsiveness, and personal touches truly made a difference. I felt supported and cared for every step of the way, and I never had to worry about a thing. Thanks to her expe
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

The Best Destination Wedding Planner!
Reviewed By The Phelans - Cherry Hill, NJ | Traveled to Barbados | Caribbean
Working with Des was one of the best decisions we made for our destination wedding in Barbados. From start to finish, Des was an absolute superstar—knowledgeable, responsive, and incredibly thoughtful about every detail. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but Des made the entire process feel effortless. She helped us choose the perfect island and venue in Barbados, coordinated all the travel arrangements for us and our guests, and was always available to answer questions or troubleshoot anything that came up. Her local expertise and connections in Barbados were invaluable, and she made sure everything ran smoothly from the moment we landed. Our guests raved about how easy and organized everything was thanks to Des. Flights, transfers, accommodations—she handled it all with professionalism and warmth, allowing us to fully enjoy our special day without worrying about the logistics. Because of Des, our wedding was not just beautiful, it was stress-free—something I never thought I’d s

    Dream Jamaica Wedding
    Planning a destination wedding felt overwhelming at first, but Des made everything so easy. She helped us choose the perfect resort in Jamaica, handled all the travel logistics for us and our guests, and made the whole experience stress-free and fun. She personally knew the resort staff at Sandals Montego Bay, which helped a ton and she ensured we were well-looked after from start to finish. Our wedding day was truly a dream, and we couldn’t have done it without her. She was organized, responsive, and genuinely cared about making everything perfect. We’re so grateful for her expertise and support, we wouldn’t change a thing!
