About Me

Family Vacation Specialist

I am one of the two owners at Family Traveling Tips. My duties in the agency include, but are not limited to, Social Media administration, training agents, and booking clients. I am married and the mother of one daughter. My husband, Shane, works in the oil field and travels around the world working on unmanned robotic submarines. My daughter, Savannah, is a recent high school graduate who was on the school’s nationally ranked dance team, the school’s yearbook staff, and is an avid reader. She will be heading to college in the fall! We also have two furry family members, Dewey and Fleur, whom we treat as members of the family. I have worked in education for 20 years, first as an English teacher at a local high school, and then I earned my school librarian credentials and became a school librarian. My love of learning is one of the things that fed into my love of travel. I enjoy seeing new places and learning all about them. That love is what led me to want to help others see the world with the same sense of fun that I see. With almost a decade of travel advising under my belt, I am able to use my experience to make sure all of my clients have an amazing time wherever they decide to travel.

My Favorite Places

I personally visit Disney Parks and Universal Parks multiple times a year.  I also make it a point to visit some new place at least once a year, whether that is a new state or a new country, my goal is to always learn about a new place by actually visiting there.  I have visited 11 different countries and many different states with no plans to stop anytime soon.

Family trip
Reviewed By Gwen - Duson, LA | Traveled to Orlando | Florida | USA
Amanda was very helpful in preparing an itinerary of our trip to Disney World. She took into account budget, days at parks, age of all of us. I was able to pay on trip over a certain period of time. Her helpful hints/advise came in handy from what to pack, wear, and bring. If you plan on traveling anywhere, even if a last minute trip, reach out to Amanda for her guidance and assistance!!!

The best Disneyland birthday trip
Reviewed By EmmaR - Lafayette | Traveled to Disneyland | California | USA
Amanda worked with me and my husband to plan my birthday trip to Disneyland! It was the best trip I have gone on to date. For it was also my first trip by myself! She made things so easy! From getting me a great deal on hotel accommodation, to going the extra mile to talk me through my Disney Genie app! I had the best 32nd birthday anyone could ask for !!

Impromptu Trip
Reviewed By scmulligan - Lafayette, LA | Traveled to Walt Disney World | Florida | USA
We decided VERY last minute to take a trip to Disney at the end of summer in 2020 (heard it was hard to pass up the unique experience during COVID/small crowds). I emailed her around lunch and we were booked by 4 to be ready to leave in the middle of that night! She gave us three options (what we wanted, a cheaper option, and an option above). It was very easy to complete and make our reservations!
Amanda Blanco responded
"This trip definitely made it in my list of unforgettable trips to help plan lol! When I am approached by anyone that says they need a last minute trip and it's months away from travel, I always use this trip as an example of how quickly I can plan a vacation lol! Thank you for trusting me with your travel and continuing to do so!"
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Amazing Vacation
Reviewed By FanforLife - Lafayette, LA | Traveled to New York City | New York | USA
Amanda thought of all the things that I didn't even realize I needed to know! She gave us so many tips on how to make the most of our trip that everything just flowed so smoothly. I hadn't worked with an agent before, but now I'm a convert.
Amanda Blanco responded
"That's what I'm here for! Most people don't realize what they don't know, so my job is to give them that info! I love helping clients learn about their destination so they have the best time wherever they travel."
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

This is my second time working with Amanda and she is fabulous.

We are so grateful to Amanda for helping us plan our trips to Disneyworld and Universal twice now, and will definitely use her again!
