As a Disney Travel Specialist for the past 10 years, I have gathered hundreds of tips for a fantastic Disney Vacation. 


Disney Parks and Resorts:

     

Whether you are interested in staying at a Disney resort and enjoying all of the excitement of Disney 'round the clock ... or you prefer to stay closeby at a family-friendly property where you can relax and regroup for the next exciting day ... I can help design a fun-filled vacation perfectly suited for your family's needs. 

As a life-long southern California native, I live "down the road" from DisneyLand and have been an annual pass holder my entire life.  I can help you plan a California vacation you will never forget.  I may even meet you at the park and treat your family to some churros!

I have spent more days at DisneyWorld than I can count.  Enjoying not only the parks, but also the waterparks, mini-golf centers, Disney Quest and Downtown Disney.  I have first hand experience with the Dinner shows, Entertainment, and even the Campground and Cabins.  Whether you want to take it slow or go go go, I can help you plan a vacation filled with Disney dreams.


Disney Cruise Line:

   
           
As much as we love the parks, my family's favorite ... by far ... is the fabulous Disney Cruise Line.  Perfect not only for children of all ages, but great for teens, singles and grownups desiring an adult-only vacation.  Disney cruises are a great choice for family groups.  These ships have the best service crew I have found on any cruise line, as well as unmatched Entertainment, Kids Clubs and Family Cabarets.  The onboard Spa with Rainforest Room is worldclass, offering a wide variety of treatments.  The ships are absolutely stunning with wood decks reminiscent of the old ocean liners.  Disney characters can be found throughout the day for meet and greets, autographs and photos.  With meals, drinks and entertainment included in one price, this floating hotel is a great option for those wanting to unpack once, then travel to one exciting port after another.  Disney Cruise Line saves the best for last ... Disney's private island Castaway Cay.  Your family might not want to get off the ship.  Most of my clients rebook immediately.

A great option for many families is a 3day park, 4day cruise option.  Enjoy the best of both worlds.  Then maybe a day or two in Cocoa Beach to watch a rocket launch or maybe a couple of days at Universal.  Just let me know what type of vacation your family is hoping to enjoy, and I will get to work checking out deals and presenting you with several options to choose from.
