Kandi Zacher
Hi! My name is Kandi. I’m from the Houston area. I have been married for 20 years and have 10 year old twins! Unlike some, on my first trip to Disney, I was 40 years old. I felt like a kid. I will never forget the first time I saw the Castle. It was amazing…truly magical. The excitement on the faces of my children was priceless. Once we went the first time we were hooked! We fell in love! My family goes at least once a year. I’m so addicted that I check wait times for attractions daily. I would love to help you plan the most magical vacation.
Sydney Leinen
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. My son is on the autism spectrum and traveling with anyone with any sort of disability can sound daunting but with my help I can guide you on the best way to make amazing memories for you. I have interests in all travel including cruising and look forward to planning your most ideal vacation!
Annie Burnett
A trip to Disney World was my first true vacation as a kid. It was the first time I flew on a plane and my first big trip outside of my home state of Texas! I was so excited, I remember reading the Disney booklet we got from the travel agent from front to back! I quickly fell in love with all the fun and excitement Disney had to offer. I was blessed to be able to go on several other school trips to Disney World during high school. I even got to march with my high school band in Mickey’s Main Street Electrical Parade!
As I studied to be a nurse in college, I met a boy who also grew up going to Disney, and not long after we got married we made our first trip to Disneyland! It was so much fun getting to see where the magic all started! Since that trip to Disneyland, we have traveled extensively across North America and the Caribbean with multiple trips to Disney World squeezed in between. We now have two littles that get to come along for the ride and we can’t wait to share our love of Disney with them!
Over the years, we have have had the privilege of staying at numerous resorts across WDW ranging from economy to deluxe resorts and also staying off property. Some of our favorite on site events outside the parks are Mickey’s Hoop Dee Doo Revue, Spirit of Aloha Luau and Dinner Show, and Cirque du Soleil!
My work as a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner can be tough (but oh so rewarding), and trips to the “Happiest Place on Earth” are often just the escape we need! For my family, travel and adventure is how we live life to the fullest! We are able to relax, reconnect, explore and have new experiences, all while creating memories to last a life time. The gift of travel and memories are truly the best gift of all!
I would love to share my extensive Disney and general travel knowledge that I have gained over the years and help your family plan the trip of a lifetime!
Areas of expertise: Walt Disney World, Disneyland and Southern California, dining reservations, touring plans that limit wait times, Universal Studios (California and Florida), travel with young children, travel with teens, first time visits to Disney
Kimber Smith
Hi, I’m Kimber and I live in Houston, Texas. My adventure passion started when I was 10 years old with my first trip to Germany and I haven’t stopped traveling since! I have visited 5 continents, over 20 countries and 48 states. I love being immersed in the culture and experiencing the wonderful hospitality of the places I’m traveling. India is first up on my bucket list. We lived in Orlando 20 years ago and my love for Disney was born. I still cry when I walk into the park for the first time on every trip. I hear the music, smell the smells and I’m completely lost in the magic! My family visits Universal Studios every spring,
Walt Disney World every fall/winter and sneak in as many quick trips as we can throughout the year. I am so excited to be a part of MVP and I look forward to making your vacation the most magical one on earth! I will be with you every step of the way.

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!

Jacky Collins
I fell in love with Disney at a young age. My first visit was to Disneyland and a few years later Disney World! I have enjoyed traveling to other places but always love coming home to Disney.
As a proud mom of 4 children, I have now experienced the pure joy of watching them get to experience the magic!
After my first trip as an adult, I found that I enjoyed the planning almost as much as the trip! I have planned for an adult only trip and bigger groups as well. I have experienced several different resorts at Disney World from deluxe on down to the campsites at Fort Wilderness! The fort has a special place in our hearts as we are avid campers as well!
I love to travel, and I love to share the magic! I look forward to helping you plan your magical vacation!
Elena Noverola
I consider myself an avid travel enthusiast! My all time favorite vacations are Disney Vacations. My family and I have enjoyed numerous Disney vacations, including the Disney Cruises. I believe vacations should be stress free and it all starts with the details leading up to your destination.
I love helping people plan their vacations and helping create the most magical memories. I enjoy sharing my Disney experiences and would love to help you and your family plan your perfect Disney vacation.
Tom Piefer
It may sound completely foreign to most Disney and travel fans, but I never experienced a real vacation until my wife and I spent our honeymoon in California where we hit Disneyland, the San Diego Zoo, and Knott’s Berry Farm all in one week. In the 30 plus years that have followed I can’t even count the number of times we’ve had family vacations with most of them having the word Disney somewhere in them (Disneyland, Walt Disney World, Disney Cruise). That said we’ve done the other well known vacation spots like Vegas, Vail, Mexico, and multiple cruise lines.
As a family we look forward to helping you plan memorable vacations using our personal experiences and those of friends, family, and other clients. Let us take the hassle of searching, planning, and sitting on hold off of your plate so you can just focus on the fun.

Ginger Marshall Kinchen
Hi, my name is Ginger, and I have been planning Disney trips for 20 years. A trip to Disney World can certainly be magical with the right planning. Disney can be overwhelming. Planning for Disney can also be overwhelming. I have met so many people that did not sufficiently plan and their experience was less than magical. When planning a Disney trip, it’s really important to take into consideration your budget, who you are traveling with, what experiences you are hoping to have and what time of year you are planning to visit. You must also consider whether anyone in your party has food allergies, needs a wheelchair or scooter, is slightly scared of the life size characters or doesn’t like fast rides or anything that drops. There are also lots of extras to make your vacation special, like special ticketed events, private tours and outings, tea parties for your little princesses and pirate adventures for your little pirates. Over the last 20 years I have done them all and have the most special memories from each and every experience. I still visit Disney World 3-4 times a year. I stay current with the changing landscape of the parks, what promotions they have and renovations that are scheduled. I can help you plan a Disney vacation that you will cherish and you might find that you love Disney as much as I do. Disney World, Disneyland and Disney Cruise Lines set the bar for accommodating everyone, you just have to know how to plan your perfect vacation.
In addition to Disney World, I love to travel just about everywhere. I am a meticulous planner and research everything. Similar to planning a Disney trip, when planning most vacations I research everything and plan some activities while still leaving enough free time for spontaneity. I have vacationed on many cruise lines, from the massive ships in the Caribbean to the small, intimate river cruises in Europe. If you are considering a cruise, it’s important to find the right cruise line and itinerary for your party. I would be happy to help you find the perfect cruise.
I look forward to helping you create your next magical vacation!
Sharla Muegge
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. As a wife and mom, I’m a firm believer in choosing vacations that are right for your family and I know that any budget can create a magical vacation with the right planning. 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!

Giuliana Fisher
Since before I can remember Disney World vacations were just part of our annual routines, usually we would visit twice a year. The third time would just be a cherry on top! The parks were very nearly home, I knew my way around the parks before I could navigate my own neighborhood by bike! I later realized there were more Disney adventures to be had and so we headed West to Disneyland. Then, while pregnant with my baby girl, my husband and I took a Disney cruise. I have loved every experience.
I love to vacation and visit new places, but Disney vacations are always the happiest and easiest vacations in my experience. I love planning trips, any trip, I get teased in my family because I have a folder titled and organized with every piece of information from every trip since I started organizing them myself.
My calling has always been to teach others, I love being able to plan a trip with first-time Disney visitors. It is my favorite type of vacation, seeing their eyes light up when they experience it in person… there’s nothing like it. Being able to experience that with my daughter is beyond a dream come true, and that’s the magic of Disney! Put a total love and passion for everything Disney together with a must for organization and planning and you get me.
So put me to work planning your next adventure, let me do the planning, so you can sit back and enjoy a magical vacation!

Thais Carmo
I’m married and the mother of a young princess. I am Brazilian, as is my husband, and we are living in Texas. We have lived in four different countries un the last ten years. Traveling is my joy and Disney my passion. I grew up loving all Disney movies and singing all the songs. My biggest dream as a child was to visit Walt Disney World, and my dream came true on my honeymoon. Since then, we have visited a different Disney destination every year, alternating between Walt Disney World, Dinsneyland, Disneyland Paris and Disney Cruise. My daughter first met Minnie Mouse personally when she was 7 months old and now we are living this passion toghether. Sharing my knowledge and experiences about Disney makes my Day so magical. I have tons of tips to make your vacation even more magical, whether it’s adults only or with teens or young kids.
Sou Brasileira e morei em quatro países nos últimos dez anos e atualmente vivo no Texas com meu marido e minha princesinha. Viajar é a minha alegria e Disney a minha paixão! Lembro que quando criança adorava assistir os filmes da Disney e sonhava em visitar o Walt Disney World. Foi na minha lua de mel que este antigo sonho se realizou e aqueles dias inesquecíveis deixaram um gostinho de quero mais. Desde então, todos os anos viajamos para algum destino Disney, variando entre Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Disneyland Paris e Disney Cruise. Todos sempre especiais, cada um com sua magia peculiar. A cada viagem voltamos para casa cheios de doces memórias, como o primeiro encontro da minha filha com a Minnie. E conforme ela cresce, vamos colecionando momentos surpreendentes. Agora, uni minha paixão com trabalho e ficarei muito feliz em planejar cada detalhe da sua viagem, com roteiros personalizados para que suas férias sejam como a Disney: perfeita, mágica e inesquecível.
Emily Pena
Hey y’all! My name is Emily, I’m a recent college grad born and raised in South Texas. I live just south of San Antonio with my Fiancee and our two corgi’s. We love to travel, Disney being our most visited destination. I love all things Disney and Disney World, and have for as long as I can remember. I’d love to help y’all experience the happiness that is Walt Disney World!
Lori Ball
If you gave someone $1000 cash and asked them a year later what they spent it on, what would they tell you? Most likely they would not remember.
If you spent the same $1000 on a vacation for that same person, and asked them a year later about their vacation, what would they tell you? They would tell you details of the memories they made on that vacation. They would tell you about the the fun things they did, the variety of restaurants they visited, the people they met, and the wonderful place they stayed. Making memories is magical. They last a lifetime.
I have traveled to Disneyland, Walt Disney World and many other places throughout the US, Mexico and the Caribbean. Disneyland was a staple in my childhood. Dole Whips, Mickey Ears, parades and rides were larger than life when I was a young child. When I visit Disneyland or Walt Disney World with my sons, I still feel like the 5 year old girl that just got her first set of Mickey Ears, but now, I can experience it with my kids and make our own memories.
I can help you make memories too!
Grant Carver
I have been a fan of Disney since the days of watching the Disney Channel after school with my brother as a child. Later my parents cemented that love with a family vacation to Disneyland and I have been hooked ever since. I remember like it was yesterday watching my little brother pull the sword out of the stone (yes, I’m still bitter) at Disneyland as well as watching captain EO and Star Tours when it first came out. Luckily, I married a great woman with just as much as love for the parks as I have, and we actually spent our 1st anniversary at Walt Disney World. We have been back several times and continue to love it more each time. Even though I’m a huge Star Wars fan my favorite park is & will probably always be Animal Kingdom. I just love walking up and seeing the Tree of Life and then going on the safari ride to check out all the animals. With that being said it’s hard to imagine anything beating walking down Main Street U.S.A. right when the park opens to and seeing all of the joy in everyone’s eyes. That’s why when my wife suggested I check out being a Disney Vacation Planner I jumped at the chance. If I can be just a small part of bringing that kind of joy to someone’s life, then it’s been a successful day.
In my non-Disney life, I’m a middle school teacher who loves to travel the world, read, hang out with my wife, watch movies and play slow pitch softball (not necessarily in that order ). Before I was a teacher, I worked in the recreation business helping kids and adults find that balance between responsibility and fun. While I do not have any kids, I do look forward to sharing the love of Disney with all my nieces & nephews in the coming years.
Give me a shout and let me help you find the best vacation for you and your family that will live on forever.
Giovanna Franceschi
Giovanna has loved Disney ever since she can remember. Her love and knowledge has grown through all stages of her life, from being a toddler, becoming a Disney cast member and planning her Honeymoon, to traveling with her husband and two kids.

Nothing is more satisfying to her than the reaction of surprised and happy travelers. Whether it’s a first visit or the 100th, Giovanna will add a little pixie dust to make it memorable. Providing a new and unforgettable experience is what she strives for. Giovanna also provides assistance to Spanish speaking customers.
Betty Vander Neut
Betty found her love of all things Disney at an early age. From movies to the parks, it all brings her joy. One of her fondest memories that built the foundation of her love of Disney was seeing the entire Magic Kingdom Castle decorated as a cake for the 25th anniversary of Walt Disney World.
Over the years the Magic has changed and evolved from loving the movies and seeing the parks to loving to sing along to the movies and see the parks through the eyes of her 4 children. She has children ranging in age from infant to teenager which helps her to build travel plans for multiple age groups, all while making an enjoyable vacation for the whole group.
Betty has planned many vacations ranging from just her and her husband, to her family of 6, and even for her extended family of over 20. So whether you have a small or large group she will be able to help you work through planning a memorable vacation for everyone!
Each time Betty travels she looks for a new experience. She has tried multiple dessert parties and experiences with her children such as Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, and Pirates League
Whether you are looking for a highly organized and planned vacation that is best shown in an excel sheet, or something laid back with a more fluid schedule, Betty has done it and loved, and is excited to help you build fantastic memories that fit your vacation vision!

Jocelyn has been obsessed with all things Disney as far back as she can remember. A Texas native, her first trip to Disney World in 1986 opened her eyes to “a whole new world”. Now, as a single mom of two beautiful daughters, she likes to share the magic with them and also help other families find their own magic at Disney.
Jocelyn is very knowledgeable on the different experiences Disney has to offer from dining and resorts to MemoryMaker and VIP Tours.
In 2018, while working full-time and raising her two daughters, Jocelyn graduated with her Bachelor’s Degree in Public Relations from UT Arlington proving that “if you can dream it, you can do it.”
When she’s not planning her next Disney vacation, works in higher education. Jocelyn also works at the dance studio she grew up in, where she works in the office, teaches, or simply embraces being a dance mom. She can’t wait to help your Disney dreams come true!
Melissa Stephenson
Howdy Y’all. As you can guess from my greeting, I am a Texan. I have lived in San Antonio for 27 years. I love Texas and the U.S.A.
I am so in love with everything Disney. Whether it be taking my niece to Disneyland at Christmas or relaxing as I put together Thomas Kinkade Disney puzzles. Disney is truly my “Happiest Place”. When my brother and I were young children our parents would take us to Disney World every summer. That is where I fell in love with Disney. I have also traveled to many wonderful cities in the United States and other countries. I have sailed with Royal Caribbean numerous times to beautiful destinations.
As you might have guessed, Traveling & Vacationing are my hobbies. I enjoy planning our family vacations, whether it is on a Caribbean Cruise or going to the “Big Apple”. Family is very important to me as well as making their vacations memorable. That is why I will make your vacation amazing.

Mi viaje de graduación fue a Disney World Orlando. obsesionada, me gradué y me mudé a Orlando Florida y fui a la Universidad de Orlando y, por supuesto, me convertí en un miembro del elenco en Disney. Trabajé en el Grand Floridian Hotel durante 1 año en 2008-2009, visité con frecuencia todos los Parques Disney. Ahora soy madre de cuatro hijos, 3 Principes y 1 Princesa, y parece que les he transmitido ese Amor por Disney. Nos encanta viajar en general a la playa, Universal Studios, Colorado Mountains o simplemente ir de campamento, pero nuestro lugar favorito de todos los tiempos es Disney. Disney es tan mágico y tienes que vivirlo para entender de qué estoy hablando. Déjame ayudarte a crear unas vacaciones familiares inolvidables o incluso una luna de miel memorable como la llamas Disney lo tiene todo.

Suzi Wiley
I first fell in love with Disney when I was a little girl. When I became a mother of two beautiful girls, it was my dream to take them to Disney. We never traveled with our children before due to a life-threatening food allergy, so after researching, we decided to give it a try. Our experience was beyond magical and life-changing. My daughter got to eat a dessert for the first time in a restaurant and ate fantastic food. From that moment on we were hooked on Disney. I am now determined to give other people the MAGICAL Disney experience we had. Dreams really do come true at Disney, and it is my goal to make your dreams come true too!

Barbara Swift
My passion for Disney started when I was a teenager but I did not visit the Magic Kingdom until I was a newlywed! It was a truly magical vacation and at that moment I decided that I wanted to share the magic of Disney with my friends and family.
As a family, we have visited both Disneyland and the Magic Kingdom along with enjoying a Disney cruise. Watching my daughter and mother both experience Disney magic for the first time is a memory that I treasure. In addition visiting the Disney Parks, we have also visited Universal Studios Orlando.
I love spending time planning vacations for my family and friends! No detail is too small in planning the perfect vacation. The best part about having me help you put together your Disney vacation? There is no cost to you!

My first Disney trip was back in 1993 when I was 10 years old. Ever since that moment I was enchanted by the Disney magic. Fast-forward a few years, after getting married and with children, I returned to Disneyland on 2011. All my family fell in love with this place, and since then we have been traveling at least once a year to either Disneyland or Disney World. We have made so many unforgettable memories and experiences, we can’t have enough of Disney!
Without planning it, I became the official Disney vacation planner for friends and family members. I just love sharing my experiences and guide other people to help them make the most out of their Disney vacations, whether it is a quick trip or 2 week-long vacation.
I am thrilled to be part of the Magical Vacation Planner team. I am a big time Disney fan. I love every piece of it: having a blast in the theme parks, having a refreshing day in the water parks, walking while enjoying music and visiting shops at Disney Springs or Downtown Disney, or trying one of the several amazing restaurants available there.
I would love to help you plan your dream vacations and make them a reality. I will share with you my experiences, and one or two hidden gems, so you can have a truly magical Disney vacation whose memories will last forever for you and your loved ones.
Areas of Focus: Disneyland, Disney World, Universal Studios Hollywood, Disney Cruise, Disney Resorts, Disney Good Neighbor Hotels.

Ashley Rankin
Hey Ya’ll!
I’m Ashley and I’m from Texas. I live just a few minutes south of Six Flags, the Texas Rangers and the Dallas Cowboys!
I’ve been visiting Disney World and Disneyland since 2001. When my kids were 2 and 5 I took them on their first trip and the rest is history! We visit at least two to three times a year now. They are now 8 and 11! We are a traveling family. Last year we visited England, Scotland and France. We also visited Disney Paris! It’s amazing! Next summer our goals are Ireland and Italy. I’ve done Disney After Hours, Halloween parties and Christmas parties. Next up-a Disney Land and Sea trip. I’d like to call myself a seasoned Disney guest and have stayed at many of the resorts. Every family is different and has specific needs and wants for their trip. I would love to help you and your party prepare a fun filled vacation!
Tracie Randle
I have had a love for all things Disney since I was a little girl. My family could not afford a Disney trip, so my Grandma took me to all the Disney movies and we watched the Wonderful World of Disney every week.
I finally took my Grandma, and myself, to Disney World when I was 21 years old. Since that trip my family and I have been to Disney World more than 20 times.
Sometimes the trips were jut my 2 boys and I, and others were huge extended family and friends.
I have stayed at every Disney resort category from a campsite to deluxe hotels and villas. I always try to plan something new and special for each trip, so we have been to most of the dining locations on site. We have done all 3 dinner shows, the Halloween party, fireworks dessert parties, and fireworks cruises, and behind the scenes tours.
I have also included Universal Orlando to our vacations and have stayed at 3 of their resort hotels.
I would love to help you plan your magical vacation to my Happy place!
I also have a love for the sea and the Caribbean and have been on many cruises. I would be happy to help with a cruise vacation as well.

Travel is in my blood, deep in my soul and always on my mind. I grew up traveling the world as an Army Brat (I was born on an army base in Europe). I am a wife and mother. I also admit that I am a Disney addict. It started as a child, gained momentum as an adult and I’ve now properly instilled the love of all things Disney in my daughter and husband. I have visited Disney World 19 times during every holiday and special event. I have a vast knowledge of planning and visiting Disney World as a multi-generation group, as a couple, as a family, and on girls trips.
In addition to our numerous trips to Disney Parks, I have another passion…Disney Cruise Line! I’ve cruised with Disney 4 times on 4 different itineraries: Alaska, Northern Europe, and Eastern and Western Caribbean. Magical is definitely how it feels to vacation with Disney, it’s truly magical.
Allow me to plan a magical vacation for you, share all my Disney knowledge and answer all your questions.
Areas of Focus: Walt Disney World (Dining Recommendations, Special Events, Character Meals, Fast Pass Advice), Disney Cruise Lines, Adventures by Disney, Universal Orlando, Family Trips, Traveling with Children, Adult-Only Trips, Cruises.

I started with MVP in April of 2018, I was looking for a way to supplement my income and to utilize a Customer Service/Travel degree I had earned many years before. What I found was another family with many of the same values and family life I had. I am married with 3 teens, soon to be young adults. MVP gives me the tools every day to learn and share with my teammates and my clients. As and MVP I continue to dive into our products so I can help my clients find the perfect destination for their family. I am a traveler at heart, I often travel alone, with my immediate family, and our multigeneration family. Taking different trips has helped me understand many of the different vendors and what they have to offer and why they would be a good fit for you and yours. I have experience with all things Disney, Universal Orlando and Hollywood, Virgin Voyages, Norwegian Cruises, Carnival Cruises, and many all inclusive resorts like Secrets, Dreams, RIU, El Dorado by Karisma and many more.
I like to think that once you become and MVP client you also become family! I look forward to having you join our MVP family!

Amy Blank
Amy’s love of all things Disney began with her first visit to Walt Disney World Resort at the age of 3 in 1979. Along with childhood family trips every few years with her parents and 2 sisters, she was also an intern and cast member at WDW during college. After getting married the traditions of WDW continued with her husband’s first visit and then taking her 3 daughters every few years as they grew up! She has experienced trips for her daughter’s 2nd and 4th birthdays as well as their 21st birthdays…and everything in between! Her most magical memories have come from experiencing Disney Parks through the eyes of her family and reliving memories old and new at the parks/resorts! Amy’s children have grown up vacationing at Walt Disney World Resort, traveling as infants through their current young adult years, so she’s experienced what’s involved with each of these age groups as well as what a parents needs to know!! They’ve had extended family trips with grandparents and cousins, and 3-day weekend getaways without children! Their family has stayed in all resort categories – Value, Moderate, and Deluxe – so she can help you find just the right fit for your family.
Amy is now an annual passholder as well as Disney Vacation Club member so she visits Walt Disney World about 4 times a year to stay up to date on any changes and updates made to the parks! From navigating the parks to utilizing the MDE app and Genie+ to its fullest potential, Amy wants to help make your Disney vacation a magical experience for all!!!
“I love theme parks! WDW is my favorite but Universal Orlando Resort has become just as important for our family and we go at least once or twice a year with our trips to Orlando! My husband enjoys the parks but he is more of a laid back beach guy or a cruise guy – a slower paced vacation for him! So I can help my clients with whatever they are looking for in their dream vacation!!!”

Just thinking about Disney makes me smile. My first visit was more than three decades ago with my parents and extended family. As a child I looked forward to our family’s annual Disney trip each summer. When I became a parent I knew I wanted to create more magical memories with my son. Luckily with my son having a June birthday we have the perfect place to celebrate every year. We have been to DisneyWorld 6 times, DisneyLand once and on 4 DisneyCruises. I have become an expert on fast passes, character breakfasts, travel around the parks, the magical memories photo pass and the best surprises throughout the park. There is so much to see and dobat Disney every year the trip is unique. DisneyCruises are the best. We love the live performances, the aquaduck, kids club, first run Disney movies, and so much more. I truly love Disney and look forward to helping my clients create beautiful magical memories.

I have had a love affair with Disney since I was a little girl. I love to travel all over the world, but especially to Disney Parks. I have been to both Walt Disney World and Disneyland as a child, teen, young adult, newlywed, with babies, toddlers, kids, and even grandparents in tow. My most favorite and magical moments have been participating in runDisney half marathons with my hubby, experiencing all of the magic of Disney World with my three princesses, and sharing the joy and magic with big extended family trips.
Before joining the Magical Vacation Planning team, I served as a Youth Pastor and therefore, I am wiz at group travel and teenagers. But more importantly, I love helping people create the most magical trip to a Disney park or on a Disney Cruise. I am excited to help families, friends, and groups create the perfect trip to make memories that will last a lifetime.
When I am not on a trip to Disney, you can find me hanging with friends and family, serving with my church, and most likely, planning our next trip somewhere in the world. I love cruises, beach vacations, and high adventure.
Areas of Focus: Walt Disney World, Disneyland, traveling with babies, toddlers, kids, and teenagers, multi generational trips, runDisney, Dinning accommodations, traveling with groups, resort accommodations.

Corina M. Martinez
I am a native Texan, currently living with my son in San Antonio. Like many others, I fell in love with all things Disney when I was a little girl. I couldn’t get enough of watching “The Wonderful World of Disney”, and so excited when my parents took us to Disneyland. One of my few memories is seeing “The Jolly Roger” and “Winnie the Pooh”.
Now as a grown up, I’ve been able to take my son to Disney World three years in a row. We’ve gone with friends and family members, but to date, the best trip was just this Spring Break. Just me and my 10 year old son, Adam. There’s nothing like walking down Main Street and seeing Cinderella’s Castle! We always start off with our favorites, “Splash Mountain” and “The Flying Dumbo” ride at Magic Kingdom. And as many times as we have been to Disney World, there are still some rides that have not been on. More of a reason to go back.
Because of how Disney makes me feel, I love to help others plan their trips. Sharing tips, helping set a budget, suggesting restaurants or hotels. I’m always excited to help.
