Stacy Smith

Hello and Welcome!
Planning our family vacations was always one of the highlights for me, not just getting to the destination, and when you love to do something, why not do it for others, too? That’s how I got here and I’m so excited for you to join me! I’m and mom of a 3 year old, married to my best friend, we have 2 dogs and live on Long Island as a little backstory. When friends and family would plan their trips, I was being asked all different questions and loved offering little tips from our personal experiences. When the opportunity came about for me to assist others for all different vacations, weddings, celebrations, etc., I couldn’t wait to get started. Let me assist you with all the planning and take the stress out of the getaway! I hope to keep all the magic that comes with the vacation and add a bit of Pixie Dust along the way!

I look forward to helping you with your travel needs.

Stephanie Granados

Hello! If you know me, you know I like to plan and have probably made you part of them voluntarily and maybe even reluctantly! I have organized events from starting a special events committee at work or taking over family parties i.e. baby showers, birthdays and holiday gatherings over the years. Also, since I started traveling with family and friends, some how I have been in the front of most if not all the planning process and I take pride in it. I enjoy it and hope it helped lessen the stress of traveling so others can just have fun! This is the goal I have by being part of the MVP team. I want to help families just worry about having fun and take out any of the stress of traveling and planning for that perfect vacation.

Sharon Smith Manley

I am a wife, mother, school counselor and a true fan of all things Disney. My love for Disney started when I was 5 years old and my family took our first magical trip to Disneyland. As an adult, I find every trip to the Disney Parks just as breathtaking as the trip before. There is always something new and exciting to experience and from the moment I place my Minnie ears on my head, I am transformed into a world of adventure and fantasy where I feel like a kid again.

There is nothing quite as magical as a trip to the Disney Parks or a sea adventure with Disney Cruise Line. In all honesty, I enjoy the planning process just as much as I enjoy the vacation itself, maybe even a little more. It would be an honor to help you plan a magical vacation for your family. Whether you are looking to travel to one of the Disney theme parks or take an adventure on a Disney Cruise, it would be my privilege to help you plan a vacation that would leave you and your family with lasting memories long after you have returned home.

Stephanie Krakow

Hello my name is Stephanie and Disney is my first love. I am an alumna of the Disney College Program. During my program, I finally explored Disney World for the first time and I never looked back. Being a cast member allowed me to experience Disney through creating magical memories for guests of all ages. Watching eyes light up when guests entered the parks for the first time made me love Disney even more. Ever since my program ended I have wanted nothing more than to help others get to experience the magic for themselves. Planning vacations is my passion and Disney is my area of expertise, so let me be your fairy godmother. I can handle all of the logistics of the planning process from making airfare, resort, and dining reservations, and fastpass selections to setting up tours and character experiences so all you have to do is focus on creating your magical memories.

Stephanie Riley

Hi y’all! My name is Stephanie and I would love to share the magic of Disney with you by helping you plan your magical vacation. As a child I loved all the Disney movies. I dreamed of going to Disney to experience the Disney Magic for myself. In 2002 my family and I took our first trip and was in no way disappointed. I immediately fell in love with all things Disney. My family and I have gone several times since then and also to Universal Orlando. With the knowledge I have with Disney it makes my family trips with my 3 kids, my 3 grandkids and In-laws that much more magical.

My friends and family frequently ask me for advice and tips about Disney. Sharing my experience and insight with them brings me great pleasure. The more I go or talk about Disney the stronger my passion for it grows. Each trip we try something new. Some of the experiences we have had are Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party, Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, the Keys to the Kingdom Tour, Cirque de Soleil, the Spirit of Aloha Dinner Show, Chef Mickey’s and countless restaurants just to name a few. I look forward in helping you plan your magical vacation whether it be your first or your hundredth. Have a magical day!

Susan Strahan

Hi! My name is Susan. I began vacationing with my family at Disney World as a child in the 1970s. I was always so excited to see the castle as we crossed over on the ferry. My husband and I now have taken our kids at least once a year, usually more, for the last fifteen years, and I still get excited seeing the castle. We are officially a Disney family. My son even proposed to my daughter-in-law in Epcot. We have been to Disneyland and even taken a Disney cruise. My daughters and I participated in the Princess 5K in February 2019, and in 2020 we are running the 10K.

Disney is truly a large part of our family. We have so many fond memories with friends and our extended family. I would love to help you make many fabulous Disney memories.

Stephanie Lyons

I’ve been travelling to Disney for as long as I can remember, I’ve referred to it as my second home. I love everything about Disney, the way you feel when you’re there, how the cast members treat you, there really is no better experience. Which is why I took my husband there on our honeymoon (his first trip), followed by a Disney cruise! We have since been back several times and get to share Disney with our daughter. It has become her favorite vacation destination.

In addition to Disney vacations, my family and I love to travel anywhere. From cruises to guided travel, we’ve done it all. I’ve been fortunate to travel to 30 of our wonderful 50 states and I have been able to visit 8 different countries. I feel that travel is an important thing to do with your family and you will never forget those memories from family vacations! If you’re looking for a magical Disney vacation or just a vacation to make magical memories on, give me a call. I’d love to share ideas and help you plan a trip to remember!

Hi y’all! I’m Sydney married and mother of two, I have a son and a daughter. My family loves any and all things Disney. We go to Disney World twice a year, my favorite time being Thanksgiving. It’s truly a magical time. I am very knowledgeable about Disney World especially when traveling with my children.

Sarah Lawrence

My name is Sarah Lawrence and I am an adventurer at heart! I LOVE to travel to new places and experience other cultures! I am a mom to three girls aged 12,10, and 9. We live in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, but you will most times find us planning trips outside of our home state. My husband and I have been taking our children to Disney World since they were infants and we love every moment of it! People ask us all the time, “Are you at Disney AGAIN?” YES! We have been annual passholders several times and have spent over 40 days at Disney in 2019 alone! I LOVE planning all of the details of our trips with new experiences as well as revisiting our favorite traditional stops! Experiencing the magic so many times with our kids at so many different ages has made us Disney experts!

When we aren’t hanging out with Mickey, our favorite place is sailing to the Caribbean! We have sailed many different cruise lines and ships and I can say that we have had an amazing trip each time! We ALWAYS get off the ship to enjoy the ports and have had the pleasure of visiting Castaway Cay, Coco Cay, Jamaica, Cozumel, Grand Cayman, Bahamas, Costa Maya, Belize City, Harvest Caye, Labadee Haiti, St. Thomas, St. Maarten, and San Juan.

Current Trips on my calendar include a 7 day Eastern Caribbean Cruise on Harmony of the Seas October 2019 and Paris/London trip in March 2020

Whether you are planning your 1st or your 20th family vacation, I would love to help you customize your perfect trip!

Shelly Moore

Becoming a travel planner was a leap of faith because of my already busy schedule with work, family, and returning to school, but it’s the best leap I have ever taken! Researching destinations, learning about various companies, and experiencing what the travel industry has to offer have been exciting and worth every minute, but the best part of this job is getting to be part of each client’s experiences from the initial contact to the return home.

I strive to serve each and every client with personal attention to details and assisting in making each trip the best experience they can possible have. I believe it is my duty as a travel planner to be mindful of the individuality of a client’s wants, needs, and means, then with their input, create an itinerary that is as unique as they are. It’s the personal touch of an independent planner that can make the difference between a good experience and an awesome one.

Hello! I’m Sharla and I can not wait to help you plan your next vacation! I first visited Walt Disney World as a teenager and fell in love with the world of magic and happiness. Disney has something for everybody, no matter your age or the size of your family!

I live in Schertz, Texas with my husband, daughter and dog.

I’ve stayed at value, moderate and deluxe resorts and can help you choose which resort is best for your vacation. My family loves everything about Disney, but we especially love Disney Dining. We enjoy making memories around the dinner table and sharing in the first-class food Disney has to offer. While the Magic Kingdom is an obvious favorite, I have a true soft spot for EPCOT. My next Disney vacation is right around the corner, I’d love to make that statement true for you as well!

Sarah Woodcock

My love for Disney, and travel in general, began when I was younger and my parents took us on journeys throughout the United States. Once I visited Walt Disney World, I knew I would become an avid Disney visitor. I continued to visit Disney every few years and knew one day I, too would raise a Disney family. Sure enough, I truly enjoy sharing my love of Disney with my own family. I take my family to the most magical place on earth every chance I get.
Visiting Disney is what makes me the happiest. Helping friends and family plan and experience Disney is like being there myself!
