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.

JT McDanal

Hi! My name is JT McDanal. I would love the chance to help you plan your next vacation. My love for Disney started as a child watching the films and my love for the parks and properties began 9 years ago when I proposed to my wife at Walt Disney World. Since then, it has truly been the most magical place on earth. I have now been married to my wife for 8 years and we have 3 little boys who love Disney just as much as we do. Needless to say, we have had some memorable experiences over the years. One of the things that makes a Disney vacation so exciting is the time spent planning what you will do once you arrive. However, for some this task can feel daunting or overwhelming with all there is to see, do, eat, and drink! I would love to be able to help with this task and guide you step by step in order to make this and future vacations as magical as you hope they will be.

Traveling has always been my biggest passion. Walt Disney World has always been my favorite destination!! I became enthralled with the Disney Company during the many family vacations we took since I was a kid. I took this love to the next level by participating in the Walt Disney World College Program where I became immersed in Disney’s history and overall traditions. There was no greater feeling than making magic for the countless families and guests that I encountered every day. My excitement only grew from there.

After getting married, I was able to share this Disney love with my husband and we ultimately became Annual Passholders. We enjoy our time by checking off every Walt Disney World attraction and restaurant (or at least as many as our stomaches can handle!) on property! Not only do I relish in taking in the history of all of the parks, but I love to keep up to date on new changes on property and check them out each time we visit.

One of my favorite things to do is try the add-on experiences that Disney offers. Some of my favorites include EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival demonstrations and events, Mickey’s Holiday Parties at Magic Kingdom, and my absolute favorite: RunDisney events!!

Within the Disney company, I have visited all four Walt Disney World Resort parks in Florida, Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park in California, and Disneyland Park and Walt Disney Studios Park in Paris. Outside of Disney, I love to travel internationally to Europe (including Spain, Germany, Italy, England, Ireland, Netherlands, Poland, Czech Republic, and France), staying at Sandals Ochi in Ocho Rios, Jamaica, and cruising to places like the Bahamas and Mexico.

I can not wait to help you put together your family’s next vacation and help make it the most Magical Experience you have ever had!

Katilyn Walker

I am a mother to a beautiful little girl and have a wonderful husband. I am a lover of all things Disney! I have always loved watching anything Disney. My favorite is The Little Mermaid. I visited Disney World for the first time on my honeymoon and fell in love even more. I enjoy taking my little girl every year to visit Disney World. I have stayed at many of the various resorts at Disney World. My goal is to stay at every resort at Disney so I can give my clients a first hand experience and be able to answer any and all questions they may have!! I enjoy running the RunDisney races and cruising on Disney Cruise Line. I also love Universal Studios! I grew up reading the Harry Potter books, so I had to experience Hogwarts, Hogsmeade, and Diagon Alley. I coach gymnastics at our local recreation center. I have always wanted to be a vacation planner. I look forward to helping people plan their dream vacations!

April Carpenter

Hi! I am April Carpenter. I live in Hartford, Alabama with my wonderful husband and 3 amazing children. We love traveling and making memories through our adventures. When we are not vacationing at Disney, we love visiting the Smoky Mountains, Florida beaches, and the big city destinations like Atlanta, Biloxi and Nashville.

I took many trips to Disney as a little girl, but nothing was more magical than seeing Disney through the eyes of my children. After that first trip with my little ones, I kept researching and planning for the many trips that followed. I love planning the little details that make a trip extra special. Even now after many trips, we still find new things to do at Disney!

It has now become a passion of mine to create vacations for others. As a school teacher, I have always been detail oriented. Let me use my love for details to create itineraries, make reservations, and find good deals to help you have a stress free and magical vacation that your family will remember forever! Planning a great family vacation does not have to be stressful!

Contact me to let me know how I can help you have a magical vacation. Remember, Disney is always a good idea!

Rena Caudle

My name is Rena Caudle I am a mother to a sweet adorable little girl and a wife to a loving husband. I love Disney and I hope to be able to help you with all your vacation needs.

Mitzi Alexander

I definitely have a true passion for travel. As I am coming home from a destination, I find myself thinking, “Where can I go next?”

I have been a travel advisor since 2018. I have been fortunate enough to travel to the Caribbean many times (Jamaica, Punta Cana, Puerto Rico, and Dominican Republic) I have also been to Mexico countless times (Cancun, Riviera Maya, and Cozumel), as well as Florida (Orlando, Anna Marie Island, Ft. Lauderdale, and Clearwater) Las Vegas and Arizona too. I have sailed on most of the major cruise lines (Disney, Royal Caribbean, and Carnival).

I am a Master Agent with AM Resorts and a graduate of the Disney College of Knowledge. I have also taken many classes and courses to increase my knowledge of travel destinations. It is important to constantly keep updated on changes and renovations that are taking place. I feel this really helps my clients determine which destination suits them best.

With every reservation that I make, I give special attention to exactly what my clients are looking for and what is important to them. Excellent beach? Activities? Great food? Relaxation?

I truly enjoy meeting and talking with new people…I always say, when you love what you do, it doesn’t feel like work at all.

Have a magical day!

Hannah Colbert

Hi, my name is Hannah. I am a mother of two young boys with my wonderful husband. I am an avid traveller to any destination but my passion is Disney. My love for Disney grew after my first trip several years ago and I make it a point to travel to Walt Disney World a couple times a year with my family. It truly is a magical place to be. I’m so passionate that I can often be found trying to convince my friends and family to head to Walt Disney World, if I’m not already planning their trips! I often say I love the planning part just as much as I love taking the trip.

I look forward to helping you plan a magical vacation that you will never forget!

Karen Kelley

I fell in love with Disney at a young age when I traveled there with family. Those are memories still cherished today. Upon having children of my own I wanted to be able to share those magical moments with my two boys. We have traveled to Disney many times with them and gone on several Disney cruises. We love to travel and make memories together. I have traveled to Disney since 2012 doing the runDisney events, having done Dopey twice and seven Princess weekends. I have also traveled to California for the Disneyland Half Marathon and the Tinkerbell Half Marathon runDisney events. As my friends and family have asked me to help with planning their trips, I realized I loved the planning aspect of the trips as much as the trip. It is fun for me to be able to help others plan ahead so they can have a great time and create memories of their own to pass on for generations.

Jennifer Moore

As an Annual Pass holder for the past 15+ years, Jennifer considers Walt Disney World her “second home”. When people ask what keeps her coming back, her answer is simple. “The magic is always there, but it’s never the same. There is always a new adventure. There are always new experiences, rides, and tasty treats.”

Jennifer and her husband were celebrating life events at Walt Disney World long before they were raising two princesses of their own. Now they are seeing it through a whole new set of eyes. Watching her family experience the joys of Mickey balloons, Dole Whips, Tinkerbell in the night sky, and journeys to imaginary worlds brings her just as much excitement as the first time she experienced it all herself.

She would love to help you make new magical memories with your family and friends.

Angela Dickey

I began my love of Disney vacation planning in 1996. I poured over all of the planning books for months, preparing for our one in a lifetime trip. On our way home I planned our next one. Our first trips were during Walt Disney World’s 25th Anniversary. My kids grew up at Disney, now they are Disney loving adults. My daughter is even living her dream as a Cast Member. Over the years I was known as the Disney person, helping friends and family plan their own trips.

In 2017 I joined Magical Vacation Planner and started my travel agent journey. I LOVE planning vacations! Making memories is so important. The fun begins with the planning and the memories you bring home will last a lifetime. I can’t wait to help you plan the vacation that is perfect for your family.

Jennifer’s first visit to Walt Disney World was as a small child and after that, Disney became the favorite place to go for her family! Now as a mom, vacations to Walt Disney World are even more special and more magical each trip. She was so excited to take her son on his first Disney trip when he was 5 months old. Jennifer’s family has experience many different Disney trips and each one is so exciting no matter how many times they have been!
