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.

Hi There and Welcome to my site!

For those of you that don’t know me, my name is Christie Gaucher. I am a mom of 2, wife and travel enthusiast. Once I met my husband and we started traveling together my passion for travel blossomed. I found myself planning trips for myself, family and friends on Disney vacations, cruises and just fun getaways.

I have planned and organized vacations suitable for parties from 2 to 20+ over the years and cater to fit any budget, age or requirements you may have.

I am excited to be able to combine my passion for travel with my attention to detail to plan the vacation you have been dreaming of.

Chrissy Fullmer

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.

Whether its your first trip to one of Disney’s destinations or you’ve been there more times than you can count, there is always something new and magical to experience. As an MVP, it is my goal to help you plan the perfect trip, create happiness, and make dreams come true!

Carley Landry

Hello! My name is Carley. I am a wife and a stay at home mom of two children. My family and I call Disney our home away from home. Before having children I had traveled to Walt Disney World and Disneyland, CA a total of 6 times combined. This is where I met my husbands family and we eventually spent our Honeymoon at Walt Disney World. Since having children, we have become members of the Disney Vacation Club and are an annual passholder family! We visit Walt Disney World in Orlando atleast 3 times per year with our favorite time being Halloween and Christmas to attend the special events that are offered.

Personally, I have always found great joy in planning and keeping my life and things very organized and scheduled. Being a travel advisor has really opened the door for me to offer this to others who would like to have an organized vacation without having to take on that responsibility. I am here to listen to your ideas and budget, and work with you on getting your dream vacation not only booked, but also here to do all of the behind the scenes organizing, itineraries and packets for you to get the most out of your highly anticipated vacation.

My primary focus is currently on any of the Disney and Universal locations. I am working on expanding that to eventually offer cruises, all inclusives and more. Thank you so much for taking the time to get to know more about me and I look forward to helping you make your most magical memories!

Christine Conley

My love of Disney started when my Senior Class Trip was to Disney World. I shared that love with my family and friends and have been taken more than 30 trips! 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?

Colleen Parfitt

Hello, my name is Colleen Parfitt. I would love the opportunity to share my love of traveling and plan your next vacation. Vacations are excellent opportunities to make lifelong memories, whether it is with family, friends or that special someone. Let me take the stress of finding that perfect vacation for you. For me it’s all about the small details that not everyone thinks about as well as the special little touches placed by a magical vacation planner! I can help plan family vacations to Honeymoon‘s to destination weddings to girls weekend trip and so much more! Most importantly all you have to do is pack and get ready to have a magical experience.

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
