Lyndsay Newton
Hi! My name is Lyndsay Newton!
Let’s plan a magical vacation together! My love for Disney began at the age of 3 when my parents took me on my first ever trip to Walt Disney World. I remember meeting Mickey, Minnie, and all of the princesses there, and I knew from that moment that I wanted that same Disney magic to stay with me always. I have traveled to Walt Disney world over 100 times with family and friends and even on solo trips! Besides Walt Disney World, I have also traveled to the Disneyland Resort in California, Disneyland Paris , and next on the bucket list are Tokyo Disney and Aulani, A Disney Resort and Spa!
My husband proposed to me in 2018 at Walt Disney World at The Wishing Well on the side of the castle! In 2019, I married my Prince Charming, and we now have two German Shepherds Sadie and Nala along with our cat Ginger and our fish Ursula! After we got married I knew I wanted to do something more that would help me to fulfill my passion for making Disney magic for others. This is what has led me to become a Magical Vacation Planner! My family, friends and co-workers always come to me when they are booking a Disney vacation, because after all the trips I’ve taken to Walt Disney World, I learned all the ins and outs of the parks. I love paying attention to every little detail when it comes to planning vacations and finding the best deals possible! I am always on the Disney app checking wait times, availability for dining reservations and much, much more. Is it just me or does everyone get this excited just by looking at wait times on the app?!
With a pair of Minnie ears on and a Disney T-shirt at the ready, I’m always prepared to plan a magical vacation for my clients. Whether this is your first or 50th trip I am here to insure it will be the most magical Disney vacation with memories to last a lifetime! From giving advice about which resort to stay at to booking dining reservations and Genie +…I am here for you every step of the way! I can work with any budget and will customize your vacation to fit your needs! I would love the opportunity to plan a trip for you to any of these destinations, and also make it an experience you will never forget. I plan to work long and hard on your vacation just as if it were my own.The best part is my services are completely FREE, so give me your faith and trust, and I’ll supply the pixie dust to make your dream vacation into a reality!
Thank you once again for considering me! Call me at (609) 752-5233 or email me today at L.Newton@magicalvacationplanner.com and let the magic and memories begin!
If you can dream it, you can do it. ~Walt Disney

Nothing brings me more joy than the days I have spent with my family at Disney World. Growing up my favorite memories were the one’s spent going on adventures with my family. My first Disney World trip was when I was a little girl at the age of five. I don’t remember a lot but my parents have a life time of memories from our vacation. We may not always remember small details from our everyday lives. But, we will always remember the special memories made while on vacation with our loved ones! Most recently we traveled to Disney World during our honeymoon in 2019! What a great experience to have together as a couple! 2021 our son turned the big three! We traveled to Disney World in celebration as a family! This was our best vacation yet! Now that I am a parent my favorite part about going on vacation is the excitement I get to watch in my son leading up to our big trip!
I love getting to know my guest and understanding the ways in which I can make your vacation stress free and magical! My hope is to use my knowledge and experiences to help you plan a magical adventure.

Leslie Siler Seale
Hey! I have had the opportunity to travel my entire life. I enjoy working with individuals & families planning either weekend trips or once in a lifetime experiences.
I did not start out in travel. I received my Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree. My BSN has allowed me the opportunity to multitask and see the entire situation in planning & problem solving. And like patients every travel client is different and unique.
I give special attention to exactly what my clients are looking for and what is important to them.
I have planned, booked, & traveled to Alaska, Canada, Hawaii, Mexico, & the majority of The United States. I have experience with planning large school and family groups. I have experienced wine tours in Sonoma County, skiing in Tahoe, relaxing by the beach in Florida, hiking in Mount Zion, Walking The Freedom Trail in Boston, Reliving The Salem Witch Trials, cruising Alaska. I have experienced several theme parks including Six Flags, Seaworld, Universal Studios, and Disney. Disney is the one place I keep returning. It truly is the vacation for all ages. I have experienced Disney with children and with just my darling husband. There is so much attention to detail. Wether you are doing the Food & Wine or the Flower & Garden Festival, you will have opportunities to please everyone in your party. Disney’s magic is phenomenal during Boo Bash and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party.
Lisa Frye
Hello, my name is Lisa Frye. Thanks for considering me to be your Magical Vacation Planner!
A little bit about me: I have two daughters and have been married to my high school sweetheart since I was 19. I enjoy spending time with my family, camping and going to church. I have been a Disney fanatic all my life! I have such great memories going to Disney World. My first trip to Disney was with my grandmother when I was 3 or 4 years old. All I could remember were singing sunflowers, and I finally found those sunflowers in the “It’s a Small World” ride a few months after my grandmother passed away. I can talk for hours about my trips when someone asks me about them. I have been to Disney 9 times, 4 of those trips were taken before I had children. In addition to my Disney trips, I have also been to Universal Studios as well as a cruise. I love traveling and seeing new places. I hope to instill the feeling of excitement when you think of the experience you are going to have on your trip! I am excited to be part of the MVP team, and I am looking forward to the opportunity of helping you create your very own dream vacations to create memories to last a lifetime!
Lauren Russo
Lauren is thrilled to be a Disney vacation planner for MVP! As a Disney World traveler since the age of 2, Lauren has always found the magic at the resort so special. As an adult, Lauren frequents the parks up to three times each year, and also enjoys visiting Disneyland and sailing on the Disney cruise line! Her favorite resort to stay at in Disney is Coronado Springs and her favorite theme park to visit is Magic Kingdom.
From celebrating her own engagement at Disney World to planning her honeymoon in Disneyland Paris, Lauren has plenty of experience planning adult-only trips focused on quality dining, thrilling rides, and superb hotel experiences. She even hosted her bachelorette party at Disney, which helped her learn the best activities for large groups at the parks, too! Alongside trips for guests 18+, Lauren is a kid at heart and would be ecstatic to plan a vacation for a family filled with fun and magical experiences for all.
When she’s not planning amazing Disney vacations for guests, Lauren is working full-time as preschool teacher in the Chicago suburbs. Her classroom is bustling with laughter from 3-5 year old children, and she loves making learning hands-on and play-based for her students. She always enjoys throwing in a little Disney magic for them whenever she can by reading Disney stories, playing Disney music, and decorating her classroom in Disney themes.
Leigh Ann Carkeet
I have always loved traveling. During my 20’s I traveled all across the US and Europe. I love to experience new places and cultures. I was introduced to the magic of Disney when I met my husband in 2010. My husbands family lived in South Florida for many years and were regular Disney guest. So once they took me to Disney for the first time in December of 2010, the MAGIC came to life for me. Since that time I have traveled to Disney more than 11 times. We have been on 2 cruises as well. I am the mom of two daughters who feel the magic as well. The magic of Disney is real. I hope that I can help my clients feel the magic as well.

Laura Aleman
My love for Disney began when I first visited as a teenager. Since then I have visited as much as possible while instilling the love for Disney in my 3 kids. I will never forget the day my then 5 year old daughter, Kristen, got to meet The Little Mermaid, Ariel. The look one her little face was simply magical. Magic Kingdom is the first park I visited and still enjoy the magic of it all. From Main Street and all the shops and delightful smells to Haunted Mansion, Space Mountain, and even the classic It’s A Small World ride. Being a Registered Veterinary Nurse, I was thrilled to hear of Animal Kingdom’s opening. I have had several friends work at Animal Kingdom so I’ve had the privilege of seeing some behind scenes where most guests don’t get to go. During one of my visits, Roy Disney’s Grandson was touring while I visiting the Animal Hospital which is something I will always remember. A friend who worked there even mailed me pixie dust once to cheer me up and boy did it work. I have so many great memories and I would enjoy helping you make your Disney memories too.

Her extensive knowledge about each of these resorts will allow her to create the vacation you have been dreaming about. Linda has travelled to each of these locations frequently with her daughters since they were very young, therefore she understands the needs of families during travel. However, Linda has visited the parks without children and knows how to create a fun vacation for adults.
Linda has also visited Aulani, Disney’s Hawaiian resort, located in Ko Olina. With her extensive knowledge on the hotel, she can help you plan the tropical Disney getaway you have been looking for.

Lonette Piefer
Like so many others, my Disney story is one of family. My love of all things Disney began on yearly trips to Disneyland with my grandfather. The addiction that started as a child heavily influenced the choice of Disneyland for me and my husband’s honeymoon almost 30 years ago. My kids both started their addictions as small children, but on the opposite coast. They have both been to Disney World dozens of times and even in their 20’s, the question “Again?” never even comes up when we start talking about our next trip.
The love of Disney continued on with my daughter taking part in the Disney College Program and my son celebrating both his high school and college graduation with trips to our “Happy Place”. Our family story came full circle to the west coast when my son and daughter-in-law took their own honeymoon. Of course they had to put their own spin on things by making their west coast adventure one on the Alaska Cruise on the Disney Magic (the same cruise we had taken for his high school graduation). Our family Disney story also moved to another generation with a special needs granddaughter. Because of her I learned a lot about working with Disney Cast Members to make the magic happen even with her extraordinary situation.
After several years of being the unofficial “go-to” Disney planner for friends and family, I’ve decided to share the magic with a broader audience. Let me use my experiences on both coasts, in multiple Disney resorts, and on the open sea to help you plan your next vacation. From booking the perfect resort hotel to making dining reservations and selecting Fast Passes, let me help you make planning the trip almost as much fun as the trip itself.
Lorie Emmons
Since I was little, I’ve had a love for Disney and the bug for travel. I’ve always felt the importance of travel through the many ways in which you learn about yourself and those around you, and I am so blessed to extend my own knowledge and experience from my personal adventures on to others. I love getting to know my guests and understanding the ways in which I can make their vacations and memories magical. We may not always remember the small details of every year of our life, but we will always remember the special memories made while on vacation with our loved ones.
Lara Segrest
Thanks to a father in international business, I developed a love of traveling early on. I of course loved our trips to the beach and Disney World when I was young, but I particularly loved trips we took to Bermuda, California, and London. During college, I took every opportunity to study abroad and was able to do a summer semester in Florence, Italy (with weekend trips to Cinque Terre, Venice, and Rome), and a 3-week study tour of Russia. After graduating, I spent a summer working in youth camps in Ukraine.
While Disney will always be my first love, now that my children are getting older my preferences are cruising and all-inclusive resorts. I love getting away from the big tourist attractions, though, and learning more about the local culture. I believe that traveling and seeing the world, meeting people of other cultures, and sharing these experiences with the people you love enriches your life and helps you be a more empathetic and respectful person.
My bucket list for travel includes visiting all 50 states (I’m at 41), seeing the Aurora Borealis, French Polynesia, and a World Cruise.
“It seems that the more places I see and experience, the bigger I realize the world to be. The more I become aware of, the more I realize how relatively little I know of it, how many places I have still to go, how much more there is to learn.” –Anthony Bourdain

Lisa Bailey
Lisa found a deep love for Disney World at a young age when visiting family that lived nearby. Those memorable family trips taught her it is more than just a destination. Disney World is about the memories, the time together, time to “Leave today and enter the world of Yesterday, Tomorrow and Fantasy.” As soon as she had children, she had plans for them to have the special times at Disney World as she had, and she has returned each year with the family. In 2012 she fell in love with runDisney events. She returns regularly to run the runDisney events at Disney World and Disneyland. And that has become one focus on Disney trips, planning for runners to have a ‘runcation’ and families or friends can go enjoy their time in Disney World while meeting goals and dreams running their events, from their first 5k to full marathon to the 48.6 mile Dopey Challenge. She has 3 boys, one of which has Asperger’s Syndrome (Autism) so she also learned navigating the parks and allowing decompression time. She began planning trips for friends and family when they would say it was overwhelming trying to plan to help everyone enjoy Disney smoothly so they can focus on making the memories. That’s when she realized just how much she loved planning the trips for others to Disney World, Disney Cruise, runDisney events, and Disneyland. She has also stayed at the Universal resorts and loves planning for families to visit Universal.
