Why Work With Me

Family travel that actually fits your family

Family vacations are the trips with the most moving parts and the least room for error. Wrong resort, wrong week, wrong ship, wrong park strategy, any one of those can turn the "trip of a lifetime" into an expensive lesson. That's the part I'm here to prevent.

I plan around your real family: the toddler who naps at 1pm, the tween who is done with characters, the grandparent who can't do a full day of walking, the picky eater, the sensory needs, the budget. Then I match the destination, resort, and daily rhythm to that, not the other way around.

I'm a Certified Autism Travel Professional (CATP), and I regularly plan trips with sensory, dietary, and accessibility needs in mind.

Four ways to do a family trip well

Pick the one that sounds most like your family, or tell me on a call and I'll help you figure it out.

Disney

Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Aulani, Adventures by Disney, and Disney Cruise Line, booked with dining, Lightning Lane, park strategy, and DAS support baked in.

Explore Disney

Universal

Universal Orlando (including Epic Universe) and Universal Hollywood, planned with the right on-site hotel for Express Pass access and a park order that actually flows.

Explore Universal

Cruises

Disney Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean, Carnival, Norwegian, and MSC, matched to your kids' ages, your cabin priorities, and the itinerary that isn't a marathon.

Explore Cruises

All-Inclusive

Family-friendly all-inclusives in Mexico, the Caribbean, and Hawaii, the right kids' clubs, the right pools, the right pace, and rooms that fit the whole crew.

How It Works

Four steps from first call to boarding pass

  1. 1

    Strategy call

    We talk through your family, your dates, your budget, and what has (or hasn't) worked on past trips. No pressure, no pitch.

  2. 2

    Matched recommendations

    You get a short list of destinations and resorts built for your family, not a 40-page brochure of everything on the market.

  3. 3

    Booking & logistics

    I book the trip, add dining and park reservations where they apply, and put together a simple day-by-day so you're not managing spreadsheets.

  4. 4

    Support before and during

    Promo re-pricing when discounts drop, a real human if plans change, and someone to text from the airport if the flight gets weird.

Questions Families Ask

Family Travel FAQs

When should we start planning a family vacation?

For Disney, Universal, and popular cruise itineraries, 8–12 months out gives you the best room and dining choices. Beach all-inclusives are more flexible, 4–6 months is usually enough, though holiday and spring-break weeks book up faster.

Do you actually save us money, or does going through an advisor cost more?

You pay the same rate you'd get booking direct. I'm compensated by the resorts, parks, and cruise lines, not by you. On top of that, I monitor promotions after you book and re-price your trip when a public discount drops, which frequently saves families hundreds.

What ages do you plan for?

Everything from strollers to teenagers to multi-generational trips with grandparents. A lot of what I do is matching the destination and resort to the ages in your group so no one is bored, stuck, or over-stimulated.

Can you help with kids or family members who have sensory or accessibility needs?

Yes. I'm a Certified Autism Travel Professional, and I regularly plan trips with sensory-friendly accommodations, dietary needs, mobility considerations, and Disney's DAS process in mind. Tell me what your family needs and I'll plan around it, not against it.

Do you only book Disney?

Not at all. Disney is a big part of what I do, but I also plan Universal Orlando, Aulani, Disney Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean, Carnival, Norwegian, and family-friendly all-inclusives across the Caribbean, Mexico, and Hawaii.

What if plans change or someone gets sick?

I walk you through travel insurance options up front so you know exactly what's covered before you put money down. If something happens once you're booked, you call me, not a 1-800 number, and I work the change on your behalf.

Traveling with the whole crew?

Sometimes one big villa beats five hotel rooms. Browse villas with space for everyone and send me the ones that catch your eye.

How I plan differently

I used to plan every minute of a trip. Now I plan the frame and leave room for the rest, because the best moments are usually the ones nobody scheduled.

The internet gives you information. After 2,000+ trips, I give you judgment. That’s the difference.
