Danielle Hodges

Hi, I’m Danielle from Rocky Mount, Va! I have four fur-babies that I cherish with all of my being. For as long as I can remember I have been in love with all things Disney. Growing up, nothing made me happier than watching a Disney movie or going to the Disney Store. As I’ve gotten older my love has only grown. I didn’t travel to Disneyland or Disney World until I was an adult, but it was still the most magical experience.

I live a very blessed life and have been lucky enough to visit and experience many destinations all over the world. I have floated through the canals of Venice, seen the ruin of Pompeii, climbed very slippery marble steps up a hillside to behold the Parthenon, and cruised the Greek islands. Travel has always been a passion of mine. There is no greater feeling than visiting a place you’ve never been to before. As someone who has perfected “ballin’ on a budget,” I understand financial constraints. However, I am a firm believer that no trip is out of reach. Let me help make your travel dreams a reality.

Susan F Ward

I have always had a love for traveling and Disney World has held a special place in my heart. I grew up visiting family in Florida or traveling to Disney World for various sports teams. Since becoming an adult, I have enjoyed traveling with my two young boys and my husband on many trips to Disney World. My husband and I have also enjoyed participating in many of the Disney races, including the Dopey Challenge! In addition to Disney World, I love traveling to Disneyland, Universal Studios in Florida and California and on cruises. I have traveled with and trained with Disney Cruise Line as well as Royal Caribbean. I was a Behaviorist and Special Education teacher for children with autism for 15 years before I decided to stay home with my boys. I have a passion for planning each trip and making it something special. Having an itinerary that is organized, but still leaves room for spontaneity is something I pride myself on, as well. I am happy to help plan your next vacation or to answer any question you might have. I hope I can provide you with the guidance necessary so you can have a memorable vacation!

Cheryl Lackey

I just love travelling, and one of my favorite parts is the planning! My family’s passion for ALL things Disney and Harry Potter has taken us to Disney World and Universal multiple times. My love of cruising has earned me a Gold Member status with Disney Cruise Line (5+ Cruises), ranging from short 3-night cruises to long 14-night transatlantics. Extensive training with most major cruise lines, all-inclusive resorts, river cruising, and land tours, has given me a broad range of knowledge of all sorts of vacation opportunities. Traveling is truly a great way to build lasting memories with your family. I look forward to helping you plan your next magical vacation!

My name is Andréa, and I love Disney. It sounds simple- but it is much more then that. I love Disney for its magic, in every aspect of the scene.. be it just a simple movie or a fully planned vacation in the parks. Some of my very fondest memories have been formed at Disney world with my father growing up, and has lead me to do the same with my own family. I’ve become an agent because I want to be able to have a helping hand in flawlessly creating the same wonderful memories and magic for you and your family. Together we can seamlessly plan every detail of your trip, from the very moment of arrival to dining plans in the evening, all the way down to the time of departure. Let’s make some magic happen!

Jenny Pimentel

Hiya! My favorite quote is from Walt himself. “I hope that we don’t lose sight of one thing, that is was all started by a mouse.'”

Mickey is my favorite as he brings so much joy, happiness and endless memories for all families.

I am a proud mother of 3 amazing children. I enjoy everything Disney. Movies, music, jewelry and of course Disney vacations.

I look forward to the opportunity to help others achieve their dream of a Disney vacation whether it is their first visit or 100th.

I’ve been planning Cruises and Disney vacations since 2019. I’ve been on over 15 cruises and visited 8 counties in Europe. I love and enjoy travel with my friends and family. I look forward to planning your future adventures!

Anthony Robinson

Anthony’s love for Disney started later in life. When he and his wife took their two young girls to Disney in late 1990’s, he was hooked. There is just something about being in that magical place that brings our the little child in all of us. My favorite park at Disney world is Epcot. From the World showcase to the educational rides, it never gets old. Now that my girls are grown, I still want to go back to experience the magic as often as I can.

When Anthony is not planning magical vacations, he teaches information technology to college students. He always talks about the fun and adventure of Disney and hopes that he can help his students build a dream for their lives just like Disney does for all their guests.

Feel free to contact Anthony today, so he can assist you in booking your next magical vacation!

Stephany Burns

Hello there friends! My name is Stephany and I’m from Stafford, Virginia! I am a Disney Fanatic, and honestly, planning events or trips is oddly cathartic for me;I thoroughly enjoy the entire process of planning…which I recognize makes me a bit of an odd duck .I’m a unique, very enthusiastic, and, in my very biased opinion, fun human being. My hair color changes often, bit my love of Disney never has. I have what I call “resting nice face”, and I make friends everywhere; even in the TSA Security lines. I grew up with my dad in the Marine Corps, I am a very proud Marine Corps Brat and now all 3 of my siblings are Active Duty Marines as well. I’m ridiculously proud of my family. I know the words to every single Disney song of all time. Not joking. Remember that version of Cinderella with Leslie Warren, yeah me too. What about Davey Crockett….killin’ him a bear when he was only 3! I don’t mind listening to hold music, which is why you really should ask me to help you make this Magical Vacation, well as practically perfect as it can be! I’m your girl! I like to say that I live a joyful life; I’m definitely a glass half full person, very little gets me down. I come with a scary amount of restrictions, so I have an insiders guide of my own knowledge of how to use Disney’s incredible services from special dietary requirements to physical limitation services! I hope this bio finds you in good health, happy moods, and with your coffee the perfect temperature!
