About Me

Deluxe Suite with King Bed and Balcony
Deluxe Suite with King Bed and Balcony

Hi, I’m Gabe. When clients ask me about five-star Disney vacations, the Waldorf Astoria Orlando is one of my top recommendations, especially for travelers who want the elegance and service of a luxury resort without sacrificing official Disney benefits.

I’ve personally stayed in their Deluxe Suite with King Bed and Balcony, and from check-in to check-out, the experience was exceptional. The rooms are large, beautifully designed, and feel like a true retreat after a long day in the parks.

Breakfast here is worth carving out time for. The buffet offers excellent quality, thoughtful service, and a relaxing setting.

What really sets this hotel apart is that it’s an official Walt Disney World hotel, which means guests enjoy perks like early theme park entry and access to Lightning Lane booking windows, just like Disney resort guests. It’s a rare combination: five-star amenities with theme park privileges, plus complimentary transportation to the parks.

The Waldorf shares a complex with the Signia by Hilton, giving you access to a second pool (with a lazy river for the kids!) and more dining options without ever needing to leave the property. The main pool at the Waldorf is calm and upscale, and poolside service is top-notch - perfect for couples or families looking for a quieter vibe.

Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, a multigenerational trip, or a VIP family vacation, I can help you decide if this resort fits your style, choose the best room layout, and make sure your luxury Disney vacation includes every detail.

If you want the best of both worlds - Disney access and world-class service - the Waldorf Astoria Orlando is hard to beat.

Glam Vegas Weekend Made Easy
Reviewed By md320 - New York City | Traveled to Las Vegas | Nevada | USA
Went to Las Vegas for the Kylie Minogue residency at Voltaire, and Gabe made the whole weekend feel effortless. He suggested a fantastic hotel and even helped land hard-to-get reservations at Delilah...such a cool spot with live music during dinner. Since it was too cold to hang by the pool, he also planned some great brunch options that gave the trip a fun, relaxed rhythm. Everything was smooth, stylish, and just the right mix of energy and downtime.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Seamless Cambodia/Thailand Adventure
Reviewed By md320 - New York City | Traveled to East and Southeast Asia
I was heading to Thailand for a destination wedding and wanted to make the most of the trip. Gabe helped plan additional stops in Chiang Mai and Cambodia, making everything feel effortless. In Cambodia, he connected us with a fantastic local guide who timed our Angkor Wat visit to avoid the crowds... a huge win! He also found the perfect mix of hotels for each leg, from cozy B&Bs to apartment-style stays. Thanks to his tips, we hit amazing night markets and saw more than we ever expected. Even with all the moving parts, the whole trip ran smoothly.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

DC Weekend Visit
Reviewed By TDL92 - Baltimore, MD | Traveled to Washington D.C. | District of Columbia | USA
We went to DC for Pride weekend and Gabe helped us choose the perfect spot near Logan Circle—walkable to everything we had planned, from brunch to the parade to meeting up with friends. It made the whole weekend so much easier and more fun. We wouldn’t have picked that area on our own, but it ended up being such a great call.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Disney Cruise convert
Reviewed By dclnewbie - Pittsburgh | Traveled to Nassau | Bahamas | Caribbean
We weren’t sure if a Disney Cruise would be our thing, but Gabe suggested we try a weekend on the Disney Wish, and we’re so glad we did. He kept us on top of all the key planning deadlines and helped us book extras like dinner and brunch at Palo, which ended up being some of our favorite memories. We loved the ship, especially the adult spaces and cocktail bars. We had such a good time, we already booked our next cruise!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Perfectly Planned Gasparilla Weekend
Reviewed By TRS23 - Baltimore, MD | Traveled to Tampa | Florida | USA
Went to Tampa for Gasparilla weekend and Gabe made the whole experience seamless. He helped us choose the right place to stay and mapped out an itinerary that worked great for the busy crowds. His suggestions for neighborhoods to explore around the city gave us a chance to enjoy the weekend beyond just the parade. Would absolutely rely on his planning again, it made the whole trip stress-free!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
