About Me

The Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World
The Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World

Hello, I'm Kim Hogue. I am a native Texan, wife and mom with 7 years' experience as a travel agent and over 30 years' experience traveling to Disney World. My specialties include; All Disney Destinations & Disney cruise Line, Universal Orlando Resort, All inclusive resorts, Carnival Cruise line and Royal Caribbean Cruise line. I also book for many other cruise lines, including Princess, Viking, and Norwegian. I have a large extended family and am well versed in booking and coordinating vacations for couples, families and larger groups. I have been married to my wonderful husband, Charlie for over 27 years and we have two sons.

Our two sons (now 26 & 18) have grown up going to Disney World and their grandparents often join us. That experience gives me a great perspective for traveling with kids and adults of all ages. In just my second year as a travel agent I was named one of the top 5 agents in my agency. In my 5th year I was named the top performer in my agency. I am continually traveling, cruising and training to increase my expertise for you. My recent personal trips include an Alaska cruise tour with Royal Caribbean, Caribbean cruises on both Carnival and Disney as well as all inclusive resorts in Jamaica. I've also visited Grand Cayman and Mexico recently. 

Each family is unique, vacation time and money is hard earned, and my goal is to plan the perfect vacation for YOUR family. There are so many choices and decisions to make when planning a great vacation. Let me do the work, and you can focus on having fun and making memories. I will be with you every step of the way, helping you plan, sending reminders, sending tips, and taking care of any changes for you. I'm always excited to start build relationships with new clients. 

I am based in Arlington Texas

First and best trip ever.
Reviewed By Joyce - Grand Prairie, Texas | Traveled to Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA
Kim was fantastic I told her where I wanted to stay, where and when I would like to eat . what shows I would like to see and it was like magic. If we needed to make changes. It was done no problem. I will never plan a trip. Without her and she has handled four trips for me since first one. Thank you very much Kim.

Kim is the secret sauce to level up your Vacations!
Reviewed By Countdown to the next vacation - Fort Worth | Traveled to Mexico
Kim has helped my family book over 10 vacations over the last several years. She consistently has delivered above and beyond expert advice/tips, strategies to budget, listened to learn how our family likes to spend our time (always leaves time to just go with the flow) confirmed booked reconfirmed all the little details, puts together sleek itineraries, local area things to do and check out (especially love she does mention things my kids would enjoy) She does all of this with the most amazing infectious energy and enthusiasm. Kim has always been such a pleasure to work with you will not regret having her as your travel expert! On a recent trip, winter storm Fern, mounting flight cancellations, and road conditions at home created what would have been a stressful time trying to navigate rebooking extending etc. Kim handled all of it with such ease as the true professional she is. Thank you Kim for all of your continued hard work to make our vacations truly the best they could be!!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
