​I am grateful for my love of travel, as this was a gift given to me as a child. The playtime and carefree days of traveling with my family are some of my favorite memories from growing up.

I fell in love with Disney when I took my first trip at 8 years old. Experiencing Disney for the first time as a parent brought back all those magical feelings and allowed me to be a kid again with my own children! For me, no trip to Disney is complete without watching the fireworks, tears in my eyes, dreaming about that next family adventure. There is something about seeing it through the eyes of a child that makes it even more magical. I have experienced Disney with small and large groups, friends and family, and kids of all ages; it never gets old and every trip, I experience something new that makes me fall in love all over again.

I took my love for travel and made it my career. I have instilled this passion in my own children, who are now 12, 15, and 17, and have been traveling with me since they were in diapers (and at times, multiple children were in them!)

​Having been a part of the travel industry for almost 10 years, I've earned my diploma from the College of Disney Knowledge, I'm a Universal Orlando Resort Specialist and I have earned my IATA accreditation. I have been awarded multiple sales and achievement awards, recognized as a STAR at CruiseWorld, and I am proud to be a Certified Autism Travel Professional (CATP).  

I am a Certified Travel Industry Executive (CTIE), having earned my designation from The Travel Institute, the oldest and most respected non-profit certification organization in the travel industry. These business credentials require that I have at least five years of travel industry work experience, completed rigorous management-focused certification and testing, and continue to fulfill stringent education requirements each year. Much like an accountant or doctor with their respective credentials, my CTIE designation means that I am committed to upholding the highest standards of my profession while providing expert guidance to my clients and my team.

Whether you are hoping for that dream Disney vacation, a magical visit to Universal Orlando Resort, or a family cruise vacation - I would be thrilled to make sure your vacation is everything you're hoping for.  I treat my clients like my family, and I plan each trip like it's my own.

​My motto is "Love what you do, do what you love", and I know you'll understand why when we start working together. I love what I do and can't wait to plan with you!

What my clients are saying...

​"Kristen planned the most amazing Disney trip for my girls. From the fast passes to the meals to the hotel, everything was spot on! She really listened to what my girls would be interested in and planned our trip accordingly. The best part was the last day she planned for the girls - Bibbity Bobbity Boutique, Enchanted Tales with Belle, Be Our Guest lunch, and Cinderella’s Royal Table for dinner! It was the perfect ending to our first ever trip. I can’t thank her enough - seeing the light and joy in their eyes was something I’ll never forget. Thanks again to Kristen for a truly “magical” trip!"
"Planning with Kristen was a great experience! Her knowledge, expertise, and commitment to making everything perfect combined with her professionalism and passion for her career made it an easy choice to come to her for planning our recent trip. I would recommend Kristen to everyone and definitely utilize her services again in the future!"
"Having been to Disney before with my family, I impulsively wanted to experience the magic again. People said... it’s too late, you’ll never find a flight, there won’t be any rooms left, etc. I contacted Kristen by way of recommendation from a colleague and hoped she could help plan a vacation in just two months time. Kudos to her... she not only helped us find a direct flight, but arranged for us to stay in a Royal Disney room in the park and helped us plan a fabulous vacation complete with fast passes and amazing meals! Thank you Kristen! Best vacation ever!""

"My family just got back from our trip to Disney World a couple of weeks ago and there aren't enough words to relay how instrumental Kristen was in our success!! We had such an amazing time and I can not thank her enough for holding my hand through this entire process!!! Disney trip planning is no joke nowadays and as a worrier/stress case/crazy person there is no way I would have pulled this off by myself! Kristen listened to the specific needs of our group and helped me cater everything to work for what we needed/wanted. We went with our 2 young kids and my parents...she booked our scooters and strollers, made sure we had adjoining rooms, came up with great ideas about when and where to dine, and helped me plan an itinerary that would hit all our interests without exhausting everyone by zigging and zagging around the parks. She met me multiple times in person for hours to chat with me about everything and reassure me. She was very responsive and thorough over email and even woke up early the mornings that our dining reservations and fast passes were due to get me the best times! Thank you so much, Kristen, for the best vacation ever! You're the best. Will be recommending you to any of my friends that head there in the future and guaranteed I will be getting in touch when we go back in a few years!"
