About Me

Victoria, BC. Cruising to Alaska
Victoria, BC. Cruising to Alaska

As a proud mother of three, including two adult sons with disabilities, my journey into travel planning has been shaped by both love and experience. For over a decade, my youngest son has been medically fragile and dependent on IV nutrition, and through every challenge, I have remained deeply committed to creating meaningful, joyful travel experiences for my family. What began as a personal necessity has evolved into a true passion and purpose. I specialize in thoughtfully designing travel for families navigating mobility challenges, sensory sensitivities, anxiety, and complex medical needs—transforming what can feel overwhelming into something seamless, supported, and genuinely magical.

One of my favorite areas of expertise is Disney. We are a lifelong Disney loving family with over 28 years as Disneyland passholders. Along with my professional experience with the Disney Travel Company, I bring a deeply rooted understanding of Disney destinations. I curate elevated, concierge-style Disney, resorts, cruise, and Adventures by Disney vacations for families who value both comfort and magic.  I can offer expert guidance with Disability Access Service (DAS), tailored park strategies, and refined resort selections that ensure comfort without compromising the magic. 

Our family has also sailed with Disney Cruise Line more than 10 times, giving me firsthand insight into creating smooth, luxurious experiences at sea while accommodating medical and sensory needs with care and precision. I hold certifications as a Disney Destinations Specialist and Certified Autism Travel Professional, and I am proud to be affiliated with Toastable Travel, a boutique agency known for its elevated, concierge-level service and thoughtfully curated travel experiences worldwide.

 My approach is rooted in understanding, discretion, personalization, and genuine care. I work closely with each family to anticipate needs, advocate when it matters most, and design travel that feels not only effortless—but truly exceptional. Because every family deserves to experience the magic of travel—comfortably, confidently, and beautifully.

As an avid traveler, long-term Disney mom, with a special-needs boy, she has the knowledge, connections, and first-hand experiences of how to put together a fool-proof trip for you and your family.

Extraordinary Travel Advisor
Reviewed By #1AdvisorFan - Long Beach, CA | Traveled to Vancouver | British Columbia | Canada
Darlene’s occupation as a Travel Advisor isn’t just a job, it’s her calling! She listens to what we want to accomplish on our vacation, asks thoughtful questions about any special requests or needs, makes insightful suggestions to enhance our experience, then gets to work! She has an incredible knowledge base for all things Disney (cruises, parks, little known behind-the-scenes tips and tricks), as well as loads of luxurious “extras” that make a vacation an experience to be remembered. Interested in concierge service, a special refrigerator in your cabin or room, spa or salon treatments? How about a private car and driver for a fun and educational tour of the city in a laid-back and hassle-free way? Airfare? Car rental? Hotel? Cruise? Darlene works tirelessly with an endless supply of patience, enthusiasm, empathy and desire to make all your vacation wishes come true. I highly recommend you look no further for your expert Travel Advisor…Darlene is an absolute treasure!

"Wow, Robin, this truly made my day! Thank you so much for your incredibly kind and thoughtful words — it means the world to me. Helping you plan your vacation is genuinely one of my greatest joys, and knowing that our time together resulted in an experience you'll treasure is the greatest reward I could ask for. You are exactly the kind of client that reminds me why I love what I do! I can't wait to start planning your next adventure together. ????"
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

A True Expert With a Heart to Match
Reviewed By Christie C - Gainesville, GA | Traveled to Caribbean
Darlene is hands down the best Disney and special needs travel specialist I have ever encountered. I have witnessed her work time and time again — Disney cruises, character experiences, excursion planning — and every single time she goes above and beyond. Her attention to detail is extraordinary, and her genuine heart for making trips special, particularly for guests with special needs, sets her apart from everyone else in this industry. If you want a Disney experience that is thoughtful, seamless, and truly magical, Darlene is your person. Five stars doesn't feel like enough.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
