Disney has always been my happy place! From childhood to momhood, it has carried a special AND magical place in my heart! Not only do I have a love for Disney, but I have a love for travel. I love going new places, experiencing new things, creating memories and being a foodie along the way. I am excited to be able to take my knowledge of travel and Disney experience to help YOU create whimsical memories to last a lifetime. Don’t think of me as a travel agent, but your Vacation Imagineer!

Hello! My name is Lauren and I am a momma of 5 beautiful kiddos. We love to vacation together and we find that Disney has a lot to offer each member of the family! I would love to help you plan your most magical vacation ever that fits the needs of your family, from oldest to youngest. Finding the magic in your life is just a vacation away!

My experience in travel is diverse. I’ve been to Mexico and experienced different levels of all-inclusive resorts multiple times. I’ve been on different cruise lines in the Caribbean and Alaska. I’ve been to Disney World every year except 2020 for the past 8 years. I’ve been to Disneyland. I’ve been to Universal Orlando multiple times. I enjoy traveling and planning vacations.

As a family, we are committed to making memories as often as we can. Visiting Walt Disney World has become an annual tradition that never ceases to amaze us. Each year we learn something new and reignite our love for all things Disney!

As a working mom of 2, I know firsthand how planning the perfect vacation can seem time consuming, stressful and overwhelming. What does your dream getaway look like? Wining and dining your way through Epcot? Pampering your prince or princess at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique? Unleashing your inner child in the larger-than-life Toy Story Land at Hollywood Studios? Seeing your child’s eyes light up under the breathtaking fireworks display at Magic Kingdom? Maybe you’re just unsure of what a great vacation would look like. No problem, let’s dream together!

I look forward to helping ease your worries and planning a personalized, magical adventure full of smiles, laughs and memories that will last a lifetime!

Hi Disney friends, my name is Caroline and I am excited to start planning your next Disney adventure. Disney has been a huge part of my life but now that I am an empty nester, I have the time to help others make their vacations magical. I specialize in vacations with families, teens, , adults, girls trips and solo vacations. With me, you won’t get the cookie cutter trip. Instead, I will work closely with you to customize your vacation to prioritize your interests. I strive to keep current with the ever changing “world” of Disney and will pass this knowledge onto you to make your experience magical. My job isn’t done when you book your trip. I will be available to you during your entire vacation and won’t stop working for you until you are back at home, dreaming of your next Disney adventure.

I have been to Disney World 60+ times. My first trip was when I was 3 years old. I then went again when I was 14 on a school trip. I fell in love with it and decided to save up to go for my high school graduation trip. After that I started going every year which then turned into twice a year, and now 3 times a year. I am a mom of 3 boys, whom have been going since before they were born. I went pregnant with all of them and have taken them since they were infants. My favorite park is Magic Kingdom, I always get a big grin on my face the second we step foot on Main street. I love planning my vacation almost as much as I love going. I help my family plan theirs and decided I would love to help out more people with their magical vacations.

I think I may have caught the “Disney bug” at birth. I grew up in Anaheim, right next to the original house of the Mouse. We were annual passholders throughout my childhood and I have visited Disneyland over 100 times. I moved to Indiana as a teenager and my new Disney destination became Disney World. Over the years I’ve planned trips for just me and my husband, girls’ trips with my mom and sister, trips for just my family of four and trips for my extended family. On my last trip to Disney World, we used Disney’s Disability Access Service (DAS) since both my nephew and my daughter are autistic and have special travel needs. I have navigated Disney many times with family members who have physical disabilities, so I know the extras that are needed in the parks. Although I love Disney, it is not my only passion. I lived in St. Augustine, Florida for awhile and my husband and I were Universal annual passholders. I also LOVE to cruise, so if you need help sailing the seven seas, I’d love to share my tips and plan your trip. One of my life goals is to travel this entire globe of ours, which I’ve been able to do in part through my full-time job as a high school English teacher. This is my 22nd year in the classroom and as part of my job, I’ve gotten to lead student tours to England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and Germany. This summer I’m taking students to Italy and Greece. I’ve got years of experience traveling with kids, including my own who are now 9 and 12. My goal is to make sure your next vacation is as magical as all of mine have been.

Susan is a wife, mother, teacher/librarian, and a Disney enthusiast! Susan and her husband along with their 3 sons and daughter-in-law have been life-long Disney fans. We have been traveling to Orlando to experience the magic of Disney since 1979. We are very fortunate to have been able to visit Disney Parks over 50 times!

Disney is more than just a vacation. There is magic in all the details surrounding every aspect of the parks and events. There are hidden Mickeys, parades, character autographs, nightly fireworks with spectacular effects, behind the scenes tours, and so much more to experience as a family.

We are now traveling to Walt Disney World almost once a month and loving our Annual Passes. We have experienced every holiday and many special events over the years at the parks. We try to test out a new restaurant during each visit to the parks, Disney Springs, or at one of the fabulous resorts.

Susan and her family have been to California and experienced Disneyland on family vacations. Disneyland is a fantastic trip, and in many ways, very different from your experience at Walt Disney World.

We recently took a trip to Disney’s Aulani Resort in beautiful Ko’Olina, Hawaii. There are so many activities on site to enjoy that you won’t want to leave!! We highly recommend the Luau that takes place at the resort. There are plenty of opportunities for crafts, photos, dining, and dancing. The resort features amazing pools, water slides, and even a snorkeling pool. Fantastic views and the peaceful Pacific Ocean await you.

Let Susan help you experience the Magic of Disney in the best way possible.

Hi! my name is Bianca, by day I work in Law Enforcement, and I have three wonderful children who keep me on my toes. My experience with Disney began when I was in high school. I was in a basketball tournament at the WWW of sports complex, and stayed at the All Star Sports Resort.  After visiting Hollywood Studios, Magic Kingdom, and Animal Kingdom, I knew that I needed to return soon. As a parent I love the look on my children’s faces when we spend our days at the parks. Those are the priceless moments I live for! My goal is to share the love my family has for Disney and travel to others, and to help you in making memories for your family, and future families!

Like most, I grew up with a love for all things Disney. However, in 2011 when I brought my daughter to Disney World for the first time, my heart was a flutter as I got to experience it through my daughters eyes.

Over the past few years, our family trips to Disney have become some of our favorite memories.

I understand the desire to make the most out of your vacation and I am here to help make that possible. It is my hope, that I can use my passion to help you create those priceless memories in the most seamless way.

Hi! My name is Brande Stotts, I’m a wife, military mother of 2 and a momma to a 4 year old.
When our older boys were younger, our FAVORITE place on earth was Disney and Universal Studios. We would vacation there every other year, since there is always something new to do, see or ride. Our love for these 2 parks became our favorite thing to do on their Spring Break from school as a family over the years…now that they are older and gone, we still want to pass the excitement on to our little guy and our grandchildren.
With my 20 plus years in customer service and with our obsession for these parks, I would LOVE to have the opportunity to help you plan your” Most Magical Family Vacation EVER !!

As a single mom and lawyer, I love Disney because it offers a break from the chaos of daily life. I simply love that you can disappear into the Magic… I mean MICKEY will visit you during a dinner that you don’t have to cook!!! As a small business owner, and mom-preneur, I believe in doing what you love and loving what you do. I love Disney for always making our vacations memorable and accommodating my family’s needs without hesitation. My son has physical special needs and food allergies. I have never had to stress those differences when we are in the Parks or Resorts. Our Disney trips are a respite from those day-to-day worries for me. My personal Disney experiences range from multiple single and multi-family Disney World trips, RunDisney Girl Trips (Yes! … I have Dopey-ed) and a magical cruise experience with our extended family.

Other than Disney, I love spending time with my tribe of family and friends. I love live music and fun dining experiences (Disney offers both of those year round!). I decided to become a Disney planner to help support my daughter’s competitive dance experience… and because I believe in the Magic of Disney and want to help everyone have magical memories to last a lifetime! I have have been blessed to “do Disney” with my kids, their aunts and uncles, my nieces and nephews, my mom and some of my closest friends. Disney, for us, is about capturing life’s fleeting moments and spending quality time together.

I look forward to helping you have plan an amazing trip that I will be jealous of… because I’m always jealous of anyone who is hanging out with Mickey while I’m home doing the laundry:)

My name is Amanda Ochs, and I live in Southern Indiana.
My love of Disney came from an early age when my parents took my sister and I on vacation to Florida every summer splitting the time between the beach and Disney. Disney being my favorite!
When I was just 1, I went to Disney for the first time. Since then I have returned to the happiest place on earth a little over 20 times. For the last 11 years, I’ve got to experience Disney through the eyes of my youngest niece and nephew, from character dining, trick or treating at the Mickey’s Not so Scary Halloween Party, Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique and tea at the Grand Floridian. I always feel this overwhelming sense of home when I walk down Main Street.
I have experienced the Fourth of July, Christmas, New Year’s Eve, Birthdays, Mickey’s Not so Scary Halloween Party and lots of magical parades and fireworks at Disney.
I enjoy sharing my Disney experiences with others and would love to share my knowledge and enthusiasm for Disney with you! With the many trips to Disney that I’ve had, let me offer you great recommendations for Disney resorts, dining, attractions, and much more and get you started on your dream vacation today!

I’m a mom of 2, wife, school employee, and all-around Disney lover! I decided a few years back that I love going to Disney and giving my friends advice so much that I’d love to do it for a living. So here I am! I love keeping up with all the latest Disney news and taking notes on the best snacks for your day. Disney has such an important place in my heart and my family’s. When my friends have Disney questions, I’m the one they turn to and I absolutely love it!

I am a devoted wife and a mom of 2 little ones. I am a planner through and through. It’s something that has always been a part of me and I genuinely enjoy doing it. I have a way of planning things out but still leaving room for rest and relaxation so you do not feel like you’re on a strict itinerary. Along with my passion for planning is my passion for traveling and all things Disney. I fell in love with Disney World when I was just 6 years old. I converted my husband to a Disney lover as well very quickly into our relationship. Fast Forward to now and I have been blessed enough to enjoy several trips and resort stays at both Disney World and Universal Studios.
I understand how overwhelming it can be to book all the reservations and fast passes etc. I mean why wouldn’t you want to have someone who enjoys planning so much help you plan your vacation and help take the stress off of you? I just want others to see the magic of Disney and/or travel the way I do and get a great experience with their families.

In a world of Google and online booking platforms, you might be wondering “what do travel advisors do anyway”, and this is by no means a full list, but let me give you some insight.
I don’t just book travel. I curate travel based on the destination you want to visit, the things you want to see, and your overall travel preferences.
I add a personal touch. Instead of booking that vacation package online you “think” might be good for you, we talk it through to make sure I’m curating a vacation that’s perfect for you.
I bring my experience to the table. Online forums and Google reviews can be notoriously skewed, but when we work together on your vacation you’re getting vetted information .
I have been traveling with my children (including young twins) for many years. I am a pro at planning trips for multi-generational families and families who travel with small children.

Hello! My name is Maggie and I am a life-long Disney fanatic. My parent’s started my love of Disney World when I was younger by surprising me with a trip. I am here to help with all things Disney, including, but not limited to, dining reservations, resort stays, tickets, and special events. I also have a strong love for cruises, also given to me by my parents. I am here to be your travel expert!

I began visiting Walt Disney World regularly starting in 2007 when my daughter was four years old. Our love and appreciation for Disney vacations has grown and expanded since then. With more than 25 visits to Walt Disney World since then, my family and I have learned to love the mouse and his house! Our enjoyment of Disney holidays has expanded with trips to Disneyland California and Disneyland Paris. Most recently we were fortunate enough to visit Disney Aulani on the beautiful island of Oahu!

One of the regular questions I get from family and friends is “Aren’t you bored of going there AGAIN”? The answer is always “No” because we have found new and exciting events and opportunities with each trip that really make them unique and different each time we visit. We love visiting during the Halloween and Christmas holidays and taking advantage of the other special Disney bonuses such as the Food and Wine and Flower and Garden Festivals at Epcot. My husband and I also take a weekend each year to enjoy the parks without my daughter so we can enjoy the Disney experience in a new way.

Whether it’s your first time visiting Disney with young children or your 20th time, I would love to help you create a magical experience that you will remember forever!

Over the years, I’ve made many magical memories with my family, during our vacations. For me, entering Disney property is like stepping into a world of magic. My heart is filled with a childlike spirit. I leave the cares and worries of the world behind me. Whether I am at a park, or relaxing by the pool at my resort, or dining at one of the restaurants, I can feel the magic all around me. This feeling is contagious, so be prepared to be exposed to the magic!

“Because when you stop and look around, this life is pretty amazing.” – Dr. Seuss

First off, I am a fan of all things Disney! My Disney experiences started when I saw the castle for the first time at 3 years old. Since then, I have enjoyed numerous vacations with my husband & kids and watching the magic through their eyes. Many of my greatest memories include vacations with my family & friends. Traveling has always been a passion of mine, whether I am traveling abroad, enjoying the sun on the beach, or hanging out with my favorite characters at Disney. Some of my favorite vacation spots have been South Africa, Jamaica, and of course, Walt Disney World! My family and I are always planning our next vacation and counting down the days!

I joined Magical Vacation Planner in 2017 with a desire to share my love for travel with as many people as possible. I have loved every minute of helping my clients book amazing vacations. I look forward to seeing all the pictures and smiles from each and every trip. Knowing I can be part of making the magic is my favorite thing about my job!

If you are looking to plan a cruise, all-inclusive, theme park vacation or marking a country off your bucket list, I am here to help! I specialize in family vacations, including multi-generational trips, as well as couples vacations or a girls only trip. I know that each family and each trip is different, so I try to make each trip customized to your needs and wants to make it magical. So whether you are celebrating a special event or planning your next vacation, feel free to contact me and let the stress free planning begin!

I visited Disney World for the first time as a teenager and immediately fell in love and awe of all the magic there. I have visited with friends and with my family. As an adult I have been numerous times and now enjoy getting to take my 2 kids, Elizabeth and Jacob. Every trip is different and so wonderful. We seem to add something new every time we go and know that is so much more for us to see and do.
I want to share the joy and passion with other families and make their trips as wonderful as ours have been.

I am currently working as a school secretary, but I have always had the travel bug and would love to help others plan ideal vacations. My two children have not finished college and have begun to find their own careers. I am a lifelong resident of Indiana , but I’ve traveled extensively.

Stephanie has been visiting Disney since she was a young girl. Her favorite Disney memory is when she got to share the magic of Disney with her twin boys. The joy in the boys eyes when they flew around in Aladdin’s magic carpet made their trip even more magical!

Stephanie lives in Fort Wayne, IN with her husband Andrew and their boys Austin and Brayden. Stephanie has experienced both Walt Disney World and Disneyland. She has also experienced many of Disney’s annual events such as Epcot’s Flower & Garden Festival, Epcot’s International Food & Wine Festive and Special Ticket events like Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party.

My name is Heather Hawkins and I have loved going on Disney vacations since I was a kid. I can still remember the magic of going through Main Street for the first time and walking through Cinderella’s Castle. Now I am the proud mom of two little girls who I can take to Disney and share the same wonderful memories that I had growing up. Disney just does vacations right; with their wonderful customer service and attention to details. My family and I have traveled to Disney World several times and have taken multiple Disney cruises. I am so thrilled to be a part of Magical Vacation Planner and share in the thrill and excitement of helping someone else experience the magic that is Disney!

Even after years of Disney vacations, Denise still tears up during the Magic Kingdom welcome show just before the park opens for the day. While she might enjoy the rides, dining opportunities, and shows, what drew her to Disney for the first time was a book she read years ago called Be Our Guest. From cover to cover, she was entranced by the Disney philosophy and needed to see if what its president put on paper actually translated to real life in Disney World. It did, and she was hooked.

As a high school teacher, Denise’s trips have provided much-needed vacations. More often than not, she traveled alone with her two children to Orlando during school breaks. Disney always provided a place she felt safe, and as her children have grown from 4 and 9 years old to their current 22 and 18 years, their resort choices, dining choices, and activity choices have changed. For that reason, she can provide so much insight into accommodating the needs of guests at various ages and share insights into planning trips to Disney for those who need to pinch every penny to those who have larger budgets for their vacations.

With a husband who is a chef, Denise has to describe herself as a foodie, too. She loves to share dining suggestions so guests can savor their Disney experiences. And, this woman can work that meal plan to get the most out of it!

Denise also has insight into traveling with larger groups based on 13 years as a Girl Scout leader with a troop that traveled frequently, 26 years as a teacher who travels annually with teenagers, and being the eldest child in her family who often plans the location extended family get-togethers. She can share suggestions that range from resorts to dining options and everything in between. Most recently, Denise took 15 of her high school students to Disney World for a convention and planned the adventure from start to finish for her group as well as many of her fellow teachers from across the country who knew who to contact for Disney advice. Her binder of tips and tricks has become that of legion among her peers.

Let Denise help you plan a vacation of a lifetime. She can help you pull together a fabulous Disney vacation that your family will talk about for years as well as provide strategies for making the most of your trip before you go as well as during your vacation.

One of the hardest questions you could ask Sara is “What is your favorite thing about going to Disney?” Every trip is new and exciting and every trip has something to see not seen before. Disney has been a part of Sara’s life beginning at a very young age. Her Grandfather was a huge fan of all things Disney and assured every few years his grand kids experienced the excitement of the parks. Sara and her two sisters are carrying that tradition on with their children.
“One of my fondest memories is our first ride on Journey into Imagination in Epcot. I turned and asked to ride again. We did but this time we all sang along with the quickly learned song. Although the ride has changed over the years we can still ride and sing along. My preschooler knows all the words and sings it daily.”
The most recent trip to the most magical place on earth I was able to experience some details on many of the resorts and many of the character meals and table dining offered at Walt Disney World.
Having a background in theatre and being an activity director for seniors planning detailed daily happenings is something Sara prides herself on. “Sometimes its the smallest details that bring us the most joy in life and the greatest adventure.” Sara can’t wait to help begin your planning and assure your trip has as many great adventures as you can imagine and more
