About Me

Toothless
Toothless

Get ready to experience the most incredible theme park expansion in decades! As your Universal Orlando specialist and Orlando local, I had the incredible privilege of attending a preview of Epic Universe before its grand opening – and let me tell you, this new park is absolutely mind-blowing!

I spent an entire day immersing myself in every corner of this revolutionary theme park, learning all the insider tips and secrets that I can’t wait to share with my clients.

The moment I stepped into the Isle of Berk, I knew Universal had created something truly magical. Meeting Toothless was an experience unlike anything I’ve ever encountered at a theme park – the level of detail and interaction is simply extraordinary! The entire How to Train Your Dragon land transported me completely into that world, and I discovered all the best this park has to offer, the most immersive experiences, and exactly how to make the most of your time in this breathtaking new realm.

But Epic Universe isn’t just about dragons – Super Nintendo World left me absolutely speechless! I can honestly say this land is jaw-droppingly amazing. The technology, the interactivity, the pure joy of being inside a video game – it’s unlike anything you’ve ever experienced. I know exactly how to help your family maximize this incredible experience.

And can we talk about the food? The Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Epic Universe has taken magical dining to the next level! Cafe L'air De la Sirene is a must do.

Living here in Orlando gives me such an incredible advantage when it comes to Universal planning. I’m not just visiting occasionally – I’m experiencing these parks regularly, staying up-to-date on all the latest changes, seasonal offerings, and special events. Whether it’s Halloween Horror Nights, Mardi Gras celebrations, or the latest ride updates, I’m there experiencing it all firsthand so I can give my families the most current, insider knowledge available.

My Universal expertise extends far beyond Epic Universe, though that’s certainly the most exciting development! I know the ins and outs of Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure like the back of my hand. From navigating the Express Pass system to discovering those hidden gems that most visitors miss – I’ve got strategies that will transform your Universal experience from good to absolutely incredible.

What really sets my Universal planning apart is understanding that every family and group has different thrill levels and interests. Are you Harry Potter superfans who want to experience every magical detail? Thrill seekers ready to conquer Velocicoaster and Hagrid’s Motorbike Adventure? Families with younger kids who need a perfect balance of excitement and age-appropriate fun? I take the time to understand exactly what will make your Universal vacation perfect for your crew, then create a customized plan that maximizes your enjoyment.

From choosing the perfect on-site hotel (hello, Early Park Admission!) to timing your visit for the best crowds and weather, from dining reservations to special experiences, I handle every detail so you can focus on having the most incredible Universal adventure. With Epic Universe now open and Universal Orlando more exciting than ever, there’s never been a better time to experience the magic – and I’m here to make sure your Universal vacation is absolutely unforgettable!

Las Vegas With Little Ones
Reviewed By Food Allergy Family - Guthrie, OK | Traveled to Las Vegas | Nevada | USA
We wanted to take our 6 & 4 year olds to Las Vegas -specifically to South Point Hotel. Both our children have food allergies and Keith Norman is the head chef there and he takes food allergies very seriously. His staff is extensively trained in cross-contact procedures and clear communication. Lauren knew this and was able to get us into contact with him before our stay. It was my children’s first experience at a sit down restaurant where they were able to eat safely, and it was beyond special for us! Lauren did an amazing job planning a family friendly itinerary for us and she reached out often before our trip to make sure we were satisfied with the planning process. She did an incredible job and we plan to have her help us with future trips!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Family Vacation
Reviewed By Allie - Florida | Traveled to Orlando | Florida | USA
We have absolutely loved working with Lauren! We would be so lost without her! Lauren has been amazing keeping our vacation planning on track and delivering all the necessary details in a very organized, timely, and non-overwhelming way. She has gone above and beyond guiding us with her advice while keeping our vacationing hopes and goals in mind. Lauren has been such a joy to work with!

Great Trip
Reviewed By WickFamily - Omaha, NE | Traveled to Fort Lauderdale | Florida | USA
Lauren was absolutely invaluable as our travel advisor, guiding us from start to finish throughout our entire trip. From the very beginning, she provided detailed insights into what we could expect and shared thoughtful recommendations on activities that would enhance our travel experience. Her dedication and expertise truly set the tone for a smooth and enjoyable adventure. One of the standout aspects of Lauren's support was her incredible attention to detail regarding our daughter's severe nut allergy. She ensured that every precaution was taken, making sure all our needs were met to guarantee her safety and comfort. Whether it was assisting with special arrangements or addressing our concerns, Lauren went above and beyond to give us peace of mind. Thanks to Lauren's exceptional preparation and personalized care, we had an unforgettable trip that exceeded our expectations. Her commitment and professionalism made all the difference, and we are truly grateful for the role she played in

Game changer!
Reviewed By FaerieMom - San Bruno, CA | Traveled to Disneyland | California | USA
It was so amazing working with Lauren to craft the perfect vacation for our family!! She really considered all of our needs and it was incredible working with a fellow food allergy mom who understands the challenges that travel can bring when dealing with food allergies. I have planned our own vacations, including Disney trips, in the past and this made it SO MUCH easier. I can’t believe this service is free and have been telling all of my friends and family about how amazing Lauren is. Our vacation was so much fun and she was there with us every step of the way, to help if anything went wrong. Book with Lauren!!!! You won’t regret it. ?

Incredible Memories Made!
Reviewed By NancyT - Bronson, Florida | Traveled to Orlando | Florida | USA
Lauren made dreams come true for a Magic Kingdom and SeaWorld group of 18. She does not just book tickets, she managed to tell us how to navigate a very busy Disney World to maximize the number of ride. Lauren made window seating lunch reservations to coincide with the parade! She was available around the clock for questions and suggestions. I have traveled for 40 years and never had service like she provided!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
