Family Travel Expert - Disney, Southern CA + more

Hi! I’m Kirsten, a full-time travel planner who specializes in Disneyland vacations and helping families make the most of their time in Orange County, California—home to sunshine, magic, and some of the best experiences in Southern California.

I work with families, couples, and groups who want to take the stress out of planning a Disneyland trip. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a returning Disney fan, I offer personalized planning that helps you avoid long lines, save time, and make the most of your vacation.

Disneyland Expertise

Disneyland may be smaller than Walt Disney World, but it’s packed with magic—and it can still be overwhelming to plan. With ever-changing park policies, Genie+, dining reservations, hotel decisions, and ticket options, it’s easy to get stuck in the details. That’s where I come in.

Here’s what I help with:

• Choosing the best Disneyland Resort hotel or nearby Good Neighbor hotel
• Navigating tickets, Genie+, and park hopping options
• Booking dining reservations, including character dining
• Building custom daily park itineraries based on your family’s needs
• Offering insider tips like parade viewing, character meet-and-greets, and mobile ordering hacks
• Helping plan for seasonal events like Oogie Boogie Bash or holiday celebrations
• Providing support before and during your trip so you're never left guessing

I tailor each trip to your family’s pace, priorities, and budget—so your vacation feels magical, not stressful.

Discovering Orange County

Beyond Disneyland, Orange County offers so many amazing opportunities for families to unwind, explore, and experience California like a local. I love helping my clients expand their trip with extra time in OC to relax and enjoy the area.

Here are a few extras I can help with:

• Beach days in Laguna Beach, Newport Beach, or Huntington Beach (each with its own vibe!)Family attractions like Knott’s Berry Farm, Discovery Cube OC, or the Great Park in Irvine
• Shopping & dining at Downtown Disney, Irvine Spectrum, or South Coast Plaza
• Nature & scenic spots like tide pools, harbor cruises, or local hiking trails
• Relaxation days built into your trip so it doesn’t feel rushed or exhausting

Whether you’re looking to squeeze in some coastal sunshine, explore the OC food scene, or let the kids run free on a beach day, I can help make it all part of your Disneyland experience.
