About Me

I’m Erik Hest, a travel designer specialized in Disney destinations, Universal parks, and premium cruise experiences including Disney Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean, and Virgin Voyages.My passion for Disney started long before I ever visited the parks. I grew up studying every detail, every map, every experience… until years later, I finally lived it myself. That moment shaped what I do today: helping others experience trips that truly mean something.I design fully personalized travel experiences that blend strategy, organization, and emotion. From optimized itineraries to dining reservations, lightning lanes, and step-by-step guidance, I handle every detail so you can simply enjoy.I understand these trips are a major investment, which is why my approach is clear: remove stress, maximize your time, and elevate your experience.I work with all types of travelers—especially couples, groups of friends, and the LGBTQ+ community—creating journeys that feel authentic, exciting, and aligned with your lifestyle.I’m a food lover, a thrill seeker, and a planner at heart… but I also know when to leave room for spontaneity.Because yes, everything can be perfectly planned… but what truly matters is enjoying the experience.

It was such a pleasure meeting Erik. He planned the trip exactly the way we wanted it, and even better! He was always super open to our suggestions and changes, and always gave us different options to choose from. Every time I reached out to him, he replied quickly and helped solve everything. There’s no doubt he’ll be our go-to choice for our next Disney/Universal trip.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

2nd Perfect Trip
Reviewed By Mario Schiavon - Mexico | Traveled to Walt Disney World | Florida | USA
We had already traveled with Erik’s guidance before, and the experience had been excellent, so we chose him again without hesitation. Once again, we were super happy with everything. The service is impeccable: always available, super kind, incredibly patient, and attentive to every detail. He organized everything for our Disney and Universal trip — tickets, reservations, FastPass — and he even had a meeting with us beforehand to explain everything and make sure the trip went perfectly. You can really see the dedication and quality of his service. We totally recommend him and would definitely choose him again.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

100/10
Reviewed By Nathalia Carrasquero - Venezuela | Traveled to Universal Orlando | Florida | USA
A magical dream trip! That’s how we would describe the experience we had on our Disney and Universal vacation. Thanks to Erik Hest, we were able to enjoy everything so much because we had all the support we needed, and honestly, even more than that, to make our trip truly spectacular. They were always willing to help us, give us the best advice, and even while we were there, they guided us and helped us with any questions or concerns we had. Everything turned out 1000/10!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

The FRIENDS Experience in Mexico City

As a travel designer, I don’t just love destinations; I love completely immersing myself in the stories and spaces that capture our imagination. One of my favorite recent adventures was visiting The Friends Experience.As a massive fan of the show, stepping onto those meticulously recreated sets was nothing short of surreal.
