About Me

Universal Orlando Resort
Universal Orlando Resort

Let's talk theme parks. This type of vacation has been around for a long time. Think about Knotts Berry Farm, Six Flags, Busch Gardens, SeaWorld, King's Dominion, and Disneyland. 

Today most people think about the two giants of theme park vacations - Disney and Universal. These two companies are ever-changing and expanding to provide more to the guest experience. 

Whether traveling as a family, couple, group of friends, or as adults only there is fun to be had at these destinations. 

Having completed official training (& refresher training) for both Universal Orlando and Disney Destinations, along with visiting multiple times over multiple years, I have the knowledge, skills, and experience to assist you with your theme park vacation.

I look forward to assisting you with your theme park vacation.

Best travel agent Ever!!!!
Reviewed By RP - Williamsburg, VA | Traveled to Barbados ~ Caribbean
Judy was amazing!!! From the start of planning- to the middle of the trip-to the end of the experience..
I asked on my last to next day to achieve the impossible and she accomplished everything and more.
(Mind you - I was already on the vacation and she still got me a 65' catamaran from one email that I sent her-It was epic!)
She listens to your requests - accommodates you on your hours of connection.
I will never plan another vacation with anyone else!
For 13 years I have travelled and met with many agents.

Full transparency - I have not met her in person.. but feel like I know her -
have recommended her to people I know and people I do not know.
From any state ( because I move a lot with my job ) - She will be the only person I call again to plan my travel/vacation!

Amazing experience - once in a life time - because of her!
Thank you Judy!!!

1st Royal Caribbean experience
Reviewed By Amack18rx - Springfield, Ohio | Traveled to Caribbean
Judy did an excellent job at answering all of our questions as well as offering tips she has uncovered throughout her and her clients’ journey. She handled much of the legwork for us which was very much appreciated. Judy was also able to help me compare and contrast Disney and Royal Caribbean and was very honest about the differences which allowed for no surprises when we were aboard the ship. She also made it a point to recognize my son’s birthday as well as added little extra touches such as a coffee gift card or wine for my parents room which was very nice. I truly appreciate Judy’s assistance and would not hesitate to utilize her services in the future.

The best trip we've ever had!
Reviewed By HaleighK - Pittsburgh, PA | Traveled to Riviera Maya ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
Judy was so diligent in making sure we chose the correct trip to meet our travel expectations and needs. From resorts to restaurants and excursions to must-sees, she was knowledgable and resourceful. She was very open and candid about our booking options such as flight times and carriers. One of the most helpful things was her presentation she put together for a Zoom call in which she covered topics such as the airport, transportation to the hotel, what to expect in the country, tipping, and SO much more. We had the best vacation we've ever had and this is all thanks to the time and care Judy had put into making it so. She made sure that all we had to worry about was making memories!
Judy Fiorello responded
"Thank you Haleigh for your wonderful review. Much appreciated! I'm so happy you had a wonderful time. Cheers, Judy "
