Always love Castle views!
Since January 2008, magical vacations have become a reality for a myriad of clients with my assistance. I have many years of Disney vacationing under my belt, staying at almost every Disney on-site resort hotels and experiencing the different aspects of the Walt Disney World® Resort. My extensive knowledge of the hotels, theme parks and attractions, restaurants, and special events gives me an edge with helping clients plan their own magical vacation. I’ve visited as a child, as a young adult, with my child, and with my extended family. My love of all things Disney will help you have the experience of a lifetime! This also includes the Disneyland resort in Southern California, Disney Cruise Line®, Aulani, A Disney® Resort & Spa, and Adventures by Disney escorted tours.
If you aren’t thinking about visiting a Disney Destination, that works too! Vacations to Universal Parks and Resorts, all-inclusive resorts in Mexico and the Caribbean, and a handful of other cruise lines are also part of my business so feel free reach out!
You gain the benefit of my knowledge and experience without spending an extra dime. I love planning vacations and will work with you to make your next trip extraordinary!
I look forward to assisting you with creating memories that last forever!
Yours truly,
Amber

Fabulous Mother/Daughter trip ever!
Reviewed By Briana Dudley - Waynesboro, Va | Traveled to Dominican Republic | Caribbean
Thank you so much for helping Lexi and I with finding and planning the absolutely best Mother/Daughter trip we could ever imagine! Amber was spot on fantastic with every detail with every step in the process and pretty much trim by turn directions while traveling to and from airports to resort and back home!
Our resort she found for us was breathtaking! Had a swim out room (a must have from now on!) looking out over the beach to the ocean. Great restaurants and very tentative staff at resort.
1000% recommended Amber for all your travel needs! Already can’t wait to book our next adventure with her!
Thank you a millions times for creating a trip for us we filled with wonderful memories!

Our first Disney World trip
Reviewed By Boris Veselov - Richmond, VA | Traveled to Florida | USA
We had an amazing experience going to Disney for the first time, and we couldn't do it without Amber's assistance. She knows every little detail about the parks and very knowledgeable about everything Disney. All of her recommendations were spot on! I especially appreciated her help with figuring out our lightning lanes. Besides that, her communication was straightforward and very easy to understand because she was very detailed about everything. Her response time to any questions we had was at times immediate, which helped a lot, since it was our first time going to Disney. I highly recommend Amber even to those who's been to Disney many times.

A fantastic first trip to Disney World!
Reviewed By DisneyNewbies - Cincinnati, OH | Traveled to Walt Disney World | Florida | USA
Thank you Amber for helping us plan an unforgettable first trip to Disney with our 5 and 7 year old kiddos. As two adults who knew nothing Disney, Amber guided us to a wonderfully planned vacation for our family. Between booking our hotel, character meals and rental car and then giving us all the advice on LLs, park strategy and other tidbits she did not miss a beat! Amber was always willing to answer my many questions quickly and with her expert opinion. Would highly recommend her for anyone looking to have magical Disney vacation! Thanks Amber!

My family and I have been on 2 Disney trips and used her services for both of them. She takes the guesswork out of these trips and puts it out there in easy to follow steps so you can get the maximum bang for your buck. When we go back again. No doubt…. I will use gotothemouse.com.

Spring Break at Disneyland!
Spring is such a lovely time! When we get to spring break week, that means summer is right around the corner, but the fun is already starting! For our spring break this year, the fam and I went to California to visit Disneyland, Universal Studios Hollywood, and take in the touristy sites of the greater Los Angeles area. While we’ve been to Disne...

Client Testimonials
Wonderful!
Amber was always three steps ahead of me and thought thru every detail of our trip. She was extremely responsive whenever I had a question. During our trip we wanted to change one of our dinner reservations. She responded within minutes with the cancelation and the confirmation for the new dinner location. We would have been completely lost during our Disney vacation without her - she provided great service from finding a hotel to fit our needs, to booking dinners and our fast passes. Everything felt so personalized - truly great customer service

October 2018 Trip to Disney World
I hadn't been to Disney World in over 18 years and was shocked when I started researching at all the changes. I started to feel overwhelmed with everything with everything. A friend of mine shared Amber's contact information with me. My family is so glad we contacted Amber. We wanted to create a trip to Disney that our 7 and 9 year old would love. We wanted to create memories to last a lifetime. Amber was always 3 steps ahead of me when planning the trip. If I thought of something she already had it handled. I was very nervous when we got there that I would mess something up....not with her planning guide. It walked us through everything. We enjoyed great meals, fun at the parks and never had to worry about anything. Amber was always willing to answer questions and offer suggestions. We will be contacting Amber for future vacations.

Amber is the best!
Amber was AWESOME! A Disney trip could be very overwhelming for a family of 5 (3 young boys) but she made it easy and stress free. Amber ALWAYS responded to me right away and answered any questions I had. She took into account our family's requests/interests when planning and it was fantastic. I would recommend her to anyone!

Stellar Customer Service
We have just returned home from a wonderful week at Disney World on a multi-generational trip of six people ages 3-65. Thanks to Amber's awesome planning, suggestions and coordination our trip was everything we wanted it to be. Her recommendations were spot on and even though we were on-the-go all week we never felt rushed or pressured to be anywhere. Everything seemed to flow naturally from one activity to another. Amber was EXTREMELY quick to respond with questions/concerns and definitely provided the 'insider's perspective.' We felt like we knew how things worked at Disney even though we had done little or no research on our own. Her customized trip plan and thorough departure packet allowed to us to enjoy ourselves without worrying about the details.
We will definitely use Gotothemouse.com again and highly recommend Amber's services!

Disneyworld, Florida
Gotothemouse.com is just awesome. Amber helped us at every stage of our Disneyworld experience. Right from initial bookings, to our unfortunate cancellation in Feb 2018 (due to son's surgery) then re-booking in october 2018. We knew NOTHING about Disney, absolutely clueless. But with Amber's directions on the printouts we carried, we felt like being in total control of our trip. Not just fast passes and which rides would be better for us & kids...she even mentioned what time we should be leaving to comfortably catch our return flight.
This was our first-hand experience with so much attention to detail and so much concern for customer's pleasant experience. Amber is a true darling and me & my family thank her from the deepest corner of our hearts for making our 1st Disney experience a truly memorable one. I will strongly recommend gotothemouse.com to my friends and family. Cheers !!

The best service!!
Amber is the best. We have taken Disney trips many times, but have used Amber for the last two and it has been a dream. She fulfilled all of our requests before our trip and was a major help during our trip answering questions and booking last minute reservations. I will never take a Disney trip and not use go to the mouse!

First Disney Trip 2018
Thanks to Amber our first Disney trip was a success. I don't know what we would have done without her. From the planning to the actual vacation, Amber was helpful, courteous, and always made us feel like we were her number one clients. I cannot recommend her enough.
Emilym R. Staunton, VA
Magical service!
I grew up in Florida and have been to Disney World numerous times. However, this was my first time using a travel planner for Disney, and Amber was fantastic! I won't go to Disney again without having her plan our trip. She secured us a great price on our package and made wonderful suggestions for working out a visit utilizing 2 resort hotels. The few times things went awry it was because I didn't listen to her advice. She also booked our flight. When something tragic happened at the Orlando airport she emailed us to let us know we might encounter delays. It really felt like we had an expert with us the entire trip.

Another wonderful vacation at Disney World
My family and I just got back from Disney World. This is the second time we have used Amber with GototheMouse.com to plan our vacation. Amber does not leave one stone unturned. She is thorough, knowledgeable, and prompt. I always feel like I am really on vacation when we let her handle the details of our trip. If you are planning on going anywhere Disney, I highly recommend that you give Amber a shout. You will not regret it!

Disney 2019
We had finalized our plans to go to Disney over February break in early December (quite late for planning). Even though we were late, Amber planned an amazing trip that took into account everyones different interests. She made all necessary reservations and recommendations and was extremely responsive at every point. I would highly recommend her!

I cant even begin to say enough positive comments
I cant even begin to say enough positive comments about Amber Benson. The whole experience from start to finish was just amazing. She supplied so much useful information ahead of time. Accommodations were perfect just as promised. Helped while we were there with app trouble, reservations and much more. Being a seasoned veteran at travel she was very patient and always responded quickly. We are thinking about another trip this fall to Disneyland and would most definitely employ her help again.

A Magical Spring Break Thanks to Amber!
We hadn't been to Disney World since we were kids and this time we took our own kids! We didn't know how much planning would be needed and the amount of information online was overwhelming. We are so glad we contacted Amber. She carefully planned our trip with our family's schedule, budget and interests in mind. And she was always quick to respond to any questions we had.We arrived at Disney World with a detailed itinerary and we were able to do even more than we'd hoped! And all during a busy spring break week! We could not have pulled this off without Amber's help and expertise. We are so grateful to her for planning such a wonderful trip for our family and we highly recommend her!

Wonderful!
We had a great trip to Disney World, thanks to Amber! Even though we'd been to Disney several times recently, we decided to use the services GototheMouse provided. Amber had great advice and helped us plan out our trip. She was able to to get us all the Fast Passes and dinner reservations we wanted. When we had questions, she was very quick to respond and offered knowledgeable answers.

We had a wonderful trip thanks to Amber! She gave us all of the information that we needed for our trip. She was able to get all of the fast pass options that we wanted.

Highly recommend Amber!
Amber is amazing! She planned every detail perfectly; I didn't have to think about what to do next, or where we were going to eat or how to fit it all in. The plans were seamless - perfect amount of rest and fun! The meals planned were delicious, amazing character interactions and festive with the fall/Halloween theme at many. It felt like we were pampered from the moment we were picked up at the airport. The resort was so fun and those beignets were to die for.
I will highly recommend her services to all my friends and family!

Awesome Disney Expert!
Amber is a Disney expert through and through. Her dining recommendations were fantastic, she's easy to work with, and she's lightening quick in replying back to emails. That last one is especially appreciated when things go wrong while at Disney. I've now been to Disney World twice with Amber and can't recommend her highly enough.
Kyle A. Whitestown, IN
Can't say enough good things about Amber.
If it weren't for Amber, there's NO way my family would have been able to take a trip to Disney World. The idea of planning a day-to-day schedule, coordinating FastPasses for rides, selecting and reserving dining reservations, choosing and booking a hotel AND flights was totally overwhelming.
Thanks to Amber, I didn't have to do ANY of that! All I had to do was tell her about the things we were interested in (for example, the four-year-old is, of course, obsessed with Disney Princesses and Frozen) and our budget and she worked all her magic to maximize the fun and minimize the headaches. Her knowledge and attention to detail is simply amazing.
I'm looking forward to working with Amber again for our next trip! I promise you won't be disappointed. A+++++ recommended.

Girl's Trip to Disney
I have not one negative thing to say about Amber or her company. I decided to take my daughter on a girl's trip to Disney for Christmas and Amber made is 100% perfect. She worked with me in the beginning to constantly making sure everything was perfect even through the holidays. She even noticed when I had made a mistake with my dining credits and made me aware and how to fix it before I got charged for a very expensive character meal. No matter what time or day from the beginning, she was ALWAYS available. I am already looking to plan another trip, just so I can use Amber's expertise.
