Crystal Segner
Hello! I am Crystal Segner, I live in beautiful New Braunfels, Texas. I am a mother to three gorgeous young ladies and a wife to my wonderful husband. Being a nurse during the pandemic taught me that life is absolutely too short not to complete every single thing on your bucket list! So many people gave up so much during the pandemic, and seeing the pain and suffering of those on their most terrible days that were not able to be surrounded by their loved ones, made me want to hold mine even tighter. I knew that once we came out on the brighter side of things, I wanted to do everything I could to share with people the need to celebrate life while you’re living it! I had a tiny travel bug sparked by my wonderful travel agent that planned a girls trip for me to Disney World, right down to every tiny detail and it was absolutely perfect! I hope that I can be that for you! I want to help you plan your perfect vacation, whether it be a family trip to the most wonderful place on earth, or a fun weekend getaway with your closest friends….and everything in between!

Family vacations, especially to Disney World, have meant so much to our family. My hope is to encourage and motivate your family to do the same. It’s truly my pleasure to serve you and help create a vacation you and your family will remember for a lifetime.
Caprice Roberts
I am a native of Southeastern North Carolina. My first memorable trip was to Disney World at a young age. You can say, that is when the “travel bug” first hit me. Two more trips to Disney World prior to high school graduation, followed by a cruise to Key West and Cozumel was when I knew I was destined to travel the world. As I got older, and able to pay for my own vacations, I have been fortunate enough to check off many bucket list items such as: Universal Studios, the beautiful beaches of the Caribbean Islands, Germany, Greece, California, New York, and so much more.
Because I am a natural planner and organizer, becoming an Independent Contractor with Magical Vacation Planner was an easy choice for me. I enjoy planning out the many details of a vacation from start to finish. Let me help you check off your next bucket list item with your friends and friends. I will handle the planning for you, all you have to do is pack and relax.

Disney has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. The awe and amazement of the magic of Disney that I experienced during my first trip over 20 years ago gets better with each and every time I visit. Watching my husband and daughter experience Disney for the first time has only reinforced how special a Disney vaction is and strengthened our love of Disney as a family.

We have two beautiful children, Jillian and Nathan, who are crazy fans of traveling just like their Mommy and Daddy. We are huge Disney fans and love to have fun in the sun. Jenn and I grew up loving Disney trips with our families and always hitting up time on the beaches. I had never been on a cruise until my wife surprised me with a cruise for my 30th birthday. My whole family knows how crazed obsessed I am with researching vacationing opportunities and all of the new and upcoming details with Disney. I’m always the “go to” guy with all of the snacks, dining, and planning details when it comes to our trips. Last year, Jenn, asked if I’d like to go to New York or Disney for our 15th anniversary. Well, of coarse, I said Disney for sure. I love making others happy and planning everything whether it be the most stringent of scheduling or the loosest time restraints. I love talking FUN TIME. Life is here for us to LIVE it UP. ENJOY.
I look forward to helping you and yours enjoy everything to its fullest on any budget.

I have been married for over 30 years and have 2 adult sons. We have taken trips to Disney almost every year since we bought Disney Vacation Club in 2000. My adult children still love to go to Disney!
My husband and I have done adult trips, trips with just our family, trips with friends too. We enjoyed a Disney Cruise with our children and have been exploring other cruise lines too.
I love traveling to other destinations too. I have taken trips to, Seattle, California, Mexico and the Caribbean. I have been to Disneyland and was lucky enough to enjoy a meal at Club 33.
I continue to expand my travel agent skills and have completed training for Disney, Universal, Virgin Voyages, AMA Waterways and Carnival Cruise lines.
I look forward to discovering many more destinations through planning your trips and some more of my own.
Carmen Gaines
I love to travel and have a true wanderlust. I come home from a vacation thinking, “Where to next?” Disney World? A cruise? A posh resort in Mexico or Barbados?
One of my favorite places in the world is Disney. I have a deep love for all things Disney and it truly is my happy place. This love was started as a child when I used to go on trip with my parents and is has grown over the years. I take Disney trips with my extended family every three years where I immerse myself in fun and childhood flashbacks that makes Disney. But I also take several Disney trips during a year with just my husband where the vibe is luxe and grown-up. I love to experience Disney both ways.
I also enjoy a good Universal Resorts getaway for some thrill rides. And I will never say no to a cruise or resort vacation. I love traveling on couples trips with my husband, on girls trips with my friends and on vacations with my entire family.
I started planning vacations and giving travel tips to family and friends and realized that it is something that I enjoy doing. I love planning vacations and experiences for people because that’s how I like to live life…experiencing things. So, where to next?

I am also a wife and mom to 2 little ones. We love to go on adventures– beach trips, Disney, touring Italy, cruising, and simple long weekend getaways to nearby destinations. We simply love making memories together. It’s just priceless.
I love to take this passion for travel and memory making, and give that gift to others. Planning vacations, trips, and adventures & helping couples and families create life long memories, is so rewarding. I love making each trip unique to your needs!

Chelsie Helms
I have loved Disney ever since I was a little girl. My grandparents used to live a couple blocks away from Disneyland; so every time we would visit, we were able to go to Disneyland! I had probably been to Disneyland at least 12 times by the time I was 13. And every time we would visit it was home to me, from the smells to the music playing through out the park, to the characters milling about the crowds!! Everything about the park was so magical to me, and still is!
A few years ago, I was able to take my oldest daughter to Disneyland with my family! She was only two and a half but I could tell that she was hooked! The magic and wonder that filled her eyes was something that I will never forget! A year later, I got to take her again. She loved every minute of it and was ecstatic to meet Mickey and the Gang! (Who wouldn’t be?!) we now have another daughter that we can’t wait to share the magic with!
I am so excited to plan a magical adventure for you! With my passion for traveling (or Wanderlust I like to call it) I have the drive and determination to make your vacation a dream come true!
Christopher A Everts
My passion for travel started at a very young age. I started going to Disney in 1990 at the small age of 2 and continuing my trips to Disney now, it is a thrill every time that i get to go.

I love seeing the smiles on faces of families at WDW Resort and hope to see them soon at Disneyland Resort.
I also have extensive knowledge of the Caribbean, beginning my travels as an 8th grader to the US Virgin Islands, to my first experience with Sandals in 2014 at the Grande Antigua, I am happy to say I have stayed with 3 resorts, all on different islands and am always researching the next location for our stay.
I have a passion for Customer Service as I have been in retail for almost 20 years. I know I can allow you to have a Magical Experience or a relaxing stay in the Caribbean.

Hello! My name is Chrissy and I want to make your Disney vacation a Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah time! My love for Disney is rooted deep in my heart.

Courtney Burnette
I am known as the Disney guru among my family and friends, and it has always been my dream to plan the trip of a lifetime for families at every stage of life! As an annual passholder at Walt Disney World, I have visited the happiest place on Earth over 50 times. I love to travel to Disneyland and sail with Disney Cruise Line whenever possible as well!

Any time of year is the perfect time for a Disney trip, but I especially love Disney’s special events throughout the year such as the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival, EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival, International Festival of the Arts, Disney After Hours, and the holiday season. My favorite events of the year are Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party.

Chris Wesner
My name is Chris Wesner and I am addicted to traveling. More importantly, I am addicted to all things Disney. My whole family is!
There, I admitted it.
Now, I hope to share my love for Disney and all of my experiences with others as we work to plan the most magical experience of your lifetime.
As for me and who I am…I am an elementary school teacher by day, and goofy husband and father by night. I have so many interests from performing in local theaters, to viewing and reading as many Disney blogs as possible, to watching college athletics, to constantly planning our next magical experience. Still, the best title I have ever earned is being called Daddy. It was because of my little girl, Stella, and my wife that I fell in love with Walt’s magical world. Seeing the elation on my little girl’s face the first time she saw Mickey walk by at Tusker House in Disney’s Animal Kingdom sold me on this world. We make trips down to Orlando every few months just to see what’s new and rejuvenate ourselves in that magical world.
So, that’s me in a nutshell and I look forward to working and planning with you in the future!

Claudette Hockenberry
What is more exciting than taking your family to Disney? I’ll tell you, taking them to Disney and not having to worry about a thing!! Hello. My name is Claudette Hockenberry. I am your Disney Vacation Planner. I have enjoyed the Disney Parks my entire life. I have made it priority to learn all there is to know about them. Planning a vacation can be overwhelming. Disney Parks have so much to do and you don’t want to miss a thing! There are also some awesome things to do outside of the parks that you might not know about! Did you know that Disney is a great adult getaway location for couples as well. There are many amazing restaurants, tours, spas and so much more. I am a medical professional and have learned to do a CME conference at Disney the best way possible!! Ask me about it, I’m here for you. Don’t forget the Disney Cruises or Aulani Resort in Hawaii. I can help with that as well. I am the mother of 5 and the sister of three. I live in Bowie, MD but can plan a vacation for anyone from anywhere. I used to just do Disney but now I do Disney well! If you do Disney well, you will enjoy fantastic meals, wait in line for less time and see more in one day than you could ever imagine!! Call me. Ps. I can help with Universal Vacations as well…..don’t tell Mickey.
Cathy Hernandez
If it were up to me, I would spend every single day at Disney with my family; but since that’s not exactly how reality works, I love to live vicariously through my clients and help them plan a “practically perfect” magical vacation!
As an Annual Passholder, I consider Magic Kingdom my “second home”. I visit Walt Disney World multiple times a year (staying both on property and off) in order to stay current on everything going on. While I definitely consider Walt Disney Word my specialty, I can also help you plan a vacation to Disneyland; or a cruise with Disney, Carnival, & Royal Caribbean; or a fabulous Universal Orlando Resort vacation, if one of those are more appealing to you. I can even help you plan a ‘once in a lifetime trip’ with Adventures by Disney or to Disney’s Aulani resort in Hawaii! Whatever the style or wherever the location, I can make your dream vacation happen and make it magical.
“The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.”- Walt Disney

Cassie Kimball
The first time I went to Disneyland was when I was 8 months pregnant with my first child. Some may think this is crazy but let me tell you I had the time of my life! I thought I loved Disney because of the movies and music before going to Disneyland but I was wrong! Disneyland is truly a magical place for both adults and children. I now have 4 children and have taken them multiple times from baby to toddler to teenager it has all been amazing re-experiencing the Disney magic through their eyes.
I am so excited to join the MVP team and help others experience the magic with their loved ones. I love helping people with special accommodations using my experience from my previous job as a community events and planning specialist for people with disabilities and having a daughter with high functioning autism I know a magical vacation is possible for anyone.
