About Me

Disney Destination Guru & Family Travel Specialist

Tiana's Bayou Adventure
Tiana's Bayou Adventure

I love to travel and experience all that the world has to offer, but, the one place that keeps me coming back time and again is the Walt Disney World Resort. My parents first took my sister and me to "The Most Magical Place on Earth" in 1982. We returned numerous times during my childhood and Walt Disney World quickly became one of my favorite places to visit. Fast forward 44 years and 31 visits later, I'm fulfilling a lifelong dream of connecting people with the magic I've grown to love. Nothing makes me happier than to assist clients with planning their first family trip! Why book with me? Not only do I have in-depth knowledge of the parks and resorts I've. . .

  • experienced this vacation destination as as a small child, teenager, adult and parent. As a parent I've traveled with an infant, toddler and an elementary school aged child. 
  • stayed at all accommodation levels from All-Star Sports to Bay Lake Tower. 
  • learned how to navigate the parks and make the most of my visit 
  • learned how to utilize the copious amount of information, on both official and unofficial websites, to plan a successful itinerary. 

I look forward to planning your next (or first!) memorable Walt Disney World vacation! (Or Disneyland Resort vacation if you'd prefer Disney parks on a smaller scale).

Love Disney but prefer not to navigate crowds or walk several miles each day? Book a Disney Cruise Line vacation. The ships are gorgeous, the bed the most comfortable on earth, and their private islands, Castaway Cay and Lookout Cay, feature a wide array of activities for the entire family. Definitely the most restful Disney vacation you'll ever have! 

Maybe Harry Potter or Nintendo is more your speed--good news! I'm also a Certified Universal Specialist. 

Finally, if Disney or Universal aren't your jam I'm also a Hawaii Destination Specialist. I first experienced the islands of Maui and Kauai on my honeymoon and fell in love. We've since returned twice to celebrate our baby moon and 15th Anniversary.

The islands are a wonderful mix of adventure and relaxation--the perfect destination for travelers with a variety of interests. On the Hawaiian Islands you can veg on the beach, zipline across a canyon, indulge in delicious seafood or hit the links on one of Hawaii's dozens of golf courses.

Disney World Christmas Vacation
Reviewed By Kelly - Naperville, Il | Traveled to Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA
Karen was great to work with! She was always quick to respond and worked to get every reservation we wanted even the ones I thought would be impossible to get. Her itinerary was clear and the whole vacation went without a hitch. We were able to hit up every ride we wanted to and our family has amazing memories that will last a lifetime!

Reviewed By Teri - Bolingbrook | Traveled to Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA
I can't begin to say thank you! From the start, Karen took care of every detail. She answered all my MANY questions and really put me at ease. We planned a trip for 18 all together for my sons 5th birthday and Karen made it so easy. I will tell everyone I know to reach out her. Many times, my son would yell this is the best day ever! That just summed up our whole trip!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
