Real Stories.
Real Magic.
“It was our first trip to the U.S. and we were honestly overwhelmed trying to plan Disney World on our own. Kirsten made it feel effortless. She handled everything from hotels, dining, transportation, even park strategies. We couldn’t have had a better experience.”
“I surprised my wife with a Universal trip for our 10th anniversary, and Kirsten made me look like a planning genius. From the resort to the dinner reservations and fast passes, every detail was perfect.”
“As a mom of three, vacations usually stress me out before they even start. But this time? I actually enjoyed it. Kirsten handled every detail from the resort to stroller tips to dining with characters. My kids were in heaven. Thank you so much!”
“We booked our first Disney Cruise for my daughter’s sweet 16, and Kirsten made it magical. She helped us choose the perfect itinerary and room setup, answered every question (even the silly ones). We’ll be booking with her again, no doubt!”
“I was skeptical at first…how could this level of service be free? But everything Kirsten promised was true. Same price as booking myself, but with way more help and less stress. I’ve already sent two friends her way!”

All your questions answered
Is your planning service really free?
I’m a certified Disney & Universal travel advisor, which means I’m paid by them after you book your trip. You’ll pay the same as booking directly, but with personalized help, expert tips, and no extra fees.
On top of that, it should offer clear, actionable advice and steps to turn your goals into reality. To guide you toward the best decisions, a good plan will also lay out a variety of potential scenarios—plus some alternative ones—for you to consider.
What exactly do you help with?
I’m here to make your Disney or Universal vacation easy and magical. I’ll help you choose the perfect resort, tickets, and dining reservations, plus share insider tips to save time and money.
I’ll guide you every step of the way so you can focus on the fun!
What if I’ve already started planning my trip?
That’s totally fine! I can still jump in to help with anything you haven’t booked yet — or just make sure your current plans are the best they can be. Even if you’ve already reserved a hotel, there’s still plenty I can do for you.
Why should I use a travel planner instead of booking everything myself?
Because I make it easier, smarter, and more magical. You’ll avoid common mistakes, get access to insider tips and deals, and save hours of research. Plus, you’ll have someone by your side before and during your trip.
