I have been a big fan of Disney ever since I can remember. A fond memory of mine is going to the Disney Store with my grandparents every time we went to the mall.

I took my first vacation to Disney World upon graduating High School. It was a magical time, and I felt as if I was home. No other vacation measured up to my time at Disney World.

My second time at Disney World exceeded the first because my husband proposed to me at Cinderella’s Wishing Well by Cinderella’s Castle. It is a story I always tell to everyone when I talk about Disney World.

I have now rubbed my love for Disney off onto my infant son. He loves Mickey Mouse so much, it is no doubt he is my son!

I can’t wait to start bringing the Magic I have brought to my family to other families!

I am a wife, mother, and Disney lover. My love for Disney started at a very young age of 6 when I vacationed to Walt Disney World for the very first time. Since then it has only grown. I developed a passion for all things Disney when my husband and I started our own family.

I started getting antsy between our trips. Visiting the Disney Store once a week just wasn’t cutting it. So I thought how cool would it be to help others plan their Disney vacations. I can honestly say connecting with old friends and new friends to help plan their magical vacation at the most magical place on earth is truly a blessing.

Hi and welcome to my Magical Vacation Planning site. I love to travel and have turned that passion into helping others plan their perfect vacation. With my past experience as a flight attendant and traveling to Disney since I was 2 years old, I am now passing my love of Disney and travel onto my own daughter. I can’t wait to help you so lets get started!!

I have always been a Disney fan. I love the magic that Disney brings to life. I am a wife and mother. We have made so many fun memories at Disneyland, and Disney World. I love to help people plan their trips. My family has been to Disney on a budget or when we had more to spend, we enjoyed all our vacations. I was in charge of planning a family reunion in Disney World for 30 people ranging in ages from 3 months to 67, including princess and pirates. Let me help you plan a magical trip.

Hi ! My name is Amanda and I would love to help you plan the most magical vacation you could dream. I have been visiting Disney World since I was 8 years old. From that very 1st time I just knew this was the most amazing vacation place. I have visited many times since then. During my college years I decided to take it to the next level and participate in the Disney College Program. I was a “cast member” in Hollywood Studios for an entire semester and it never got old or boring. I loved learning about different cultures and interacting with the many guests on a daily basis. That was an experience I will never forget! After that I had visited many times with friends and “Cast Members”. In 2016 my husband proposed to me at our favorite park, Epcot! All of these memories will last a life time and I am excited to make more. Now I can help you make them too! Contact me to make your Disney Dreams Come to Life.

Hi! My name is Amanda and I’m excited to part of the Magical Vacation Planner team! My passion for Disney began when I went on my first family trip when I was 9 years old. Since then, I’ve gone back over 10 times and created the most magical memories with my family and friends! I have stayed at most of the resorts and have tried several of the wonderful Disney restaurants using the Dining Plan. My goal as a personal vacation planner is to ensure my clients have the best vacation to fit their needs without the hassle!

My most memorable Disney vacation was in 2012 for my honeymoon. We experienced many things we have always wanted to try such as the Wild Africa Trek Safari, Backstage Tour of Animal Kingdom and Behind the Seeds at EPCOT. Our favorite part of the trip was having VIP seating for all the nightly firework shows – including a private cruise to watch IllumiNations from the canal between France and England at EPCOT! Want to know how you can do this too? It would be my pleasure to assist you!

Whether you are looking to have an adventurous trip or a relaxing vacation, I am here to help you get started!

Relieve yourself from the stress of planning an amazing vacation and let your family experience a hassle free trip when Amanda plans every last detail for you. Being a mom to 2 teenage daughters and 3 stepchildren, Amanda and her family enjoy spending as much time as they can with their favorite mouse. She has traveled with adults only, with infants, with toddlers, with teenagers and with special needs children. She has traveled in parties of 2-80, so she knows how to coordinate large groups without the “field trip” mentality. Amanda has found ways to make this so affordable that it’s hard not to go.

Amanda has planned numerous trips for friends, family and her competition dance team. In her own 25+ trips, she has learned many ways to save time and money so the experience is everything you could want and more. Some of her favorite times to go are during special events. Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party, Epcot’s Food and Wine Festival and Mickey’s Christmas Party are definitely her favorites and not to be missed.

Amanda’s family’s happiest memories are those of Disney World and she can’t wait to help your family make everlasting memories. If you are looking to play it by “ear” and relax on your trip or would like a color coded itinerary with hourly activities, Amanda is here to help. Don’t let all of the details overwhelm you, she will plan as little or as much as you would like.

Hi! I’m Amanda and I would love to help make all your Disney dreams come true. I have to admit that I was slightly skeptical when I booked my families first trip to Disney World, I had heard it was amazing (and I was a huge Disney fan) but I was worried it wouldn’t live up to the hype. On our first day in Magic Kingdom the most amazing thing happened that made me a Disney World fan for life. We now make frequent trips to Walt Disney World and I would love to share all the tips and secrets I have leaned along the way. Besides helping make Disney dreams come true I also own a photography studio in the Midwest. I know how sacred time off to spend time with the ones we love is and I want to make sure you get to enjoy every moment of it, let me take care of everything else.

As a child, on a family trip to Disney world, Amanda witnessed a bride and groom getting married at the Happiest Place on Earth. From that day on, she knew Disney World was the place to start her Happily Ever After. In June 2012, Amanda married her Prince Charming at the Wedding Pavilion at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort. Disney has always held a special place in her heart. She has visited Disney over 15 times in her life and continues to see the mouse twice a year. She has stayed at many of the value, moderate, and deluxe Disney Resorts. Her favorite resort is the Grand Floridian, where she stayed on her honeymoon. One of her favorite things about Disney is the dining experiences. Disney’s Polynesian Resort’s ‘Ohana, is her favorite places to dine! One of her favorite memories, are the annual girls trips to Epcot’s Flower & Garden Festival with her mother and sister! Her favorite snack option is the strawberry tart at Epcot’s France Pavillion, Boulangerie Patisserie.

She now has two little Mouseketeers who have just taken their first trip to Disney World! She has learned the ins and outs of doing Disney with small children. Seeing her daughter meet and interact with the characters was priceless. Hearing her daughter tell Mickey that she loved him, was something she will never forget! Being a Disney family, naturally they have a red cocker spaniel named Lady and a black and white cat named Figaro! She is new to Magical Vacation Planner but loves planning trips almost as much as going on them herself.

My first trip to Disney was in 8th grade for a class trip. I really was just along for the ride. But in 2015, I had my first child and decided now was a great time to visit again. I fell in love all over!!! I planned our entire trip (2 families, 10 people). I had everything planned down to what ride to ride when. This trip, we stayed a weekend on property at All Star Music and a week off property at a timeshare. We were then able to go again in 2016 for Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party. It was a smaller group (5 people) during Hurricane Matthew. We still had a blast and made it work. Our last trip was this past June (3 families, 8 people). We also did the Disney Vacation Club tour at this past visit and we are now DVC members.

I am a mother to 2 beautiful little girls and have experience planning vacations for families with small children (infants) all the way to grandparents (I took my 84 year old grandma in 2017).

My name is Amanda Thomas and I hope to plan your Disney vacation! I first fell in love with Disney when I was in high school and knew that I had to go back. I was able to quickly turn my husband into a Disney fan and we have instilled the love of Disney into our son as well. We try and vacation in Disney as often as we can. The love of Disney has spread to our family and friends and they ask me to help plan their trips. I enjoy every part of the planning! From rides, to food and just being able to make new memories ! I love seeing people having fun and enjoying their vacation.

Amy’s love of all things Disney began with her first visit to Walt Disney World Resort at the age of 2 in 1978. Along with childhood family trips every couple of years, she was also an intern and cast member at WDW during college and then moved on to take her husband for his first visit. Her most magical memories have come from experiencing Disney Parks with her own husband and children.

Amy’s children have grown up vacationing at Walt Disney World Resort too, traveling as infants through their current young adult years, so she’s experienced what’s involved with each of these age groups. They’ve had extended family trips with grandparents and cousins, and 3-day weekend getaways without children! Their family has stayed in all resort categories – Value, Moderate, and Deluxe – so she can help you find just the right fit for your family.

I cant get enough! Every time I return I continue to be in awe of how magical it is. My favorite memories are at the character breakfasts, and the evening light show! I was lucky to marry someone who became just as much of a Disney fanatic as myself and we have made traveling to Disney a must! We have already instilled this love into our 4 year old daughter and cant wait to introduce our boy/girl twins very soon!

While I am very much a lover of all things Disney, I also have passion for planning all types of vacations! I am a meticulous planner with a love for details! Every vacation should be one that is full of memories and stress free when it comes to planning. So whether it be a family trip, a couples cruise or an anniversary trip, I would love to help you plan your next vacation!

An avid runner, Amy has participated in RunDisney races at both Disney World and Disneyland. While she loves to travel during any season, her family especially loves Epcot’s Food and Wine Festival. Even as a vegetarian, she never has trouble finding delicious new foods to try!

Amy shares her love of Disney with her husband and her 11-year-old son, Cameron. Cam took his first trip to Disneyland at age 2 and bravely rode the Matterhorn while hollering “Woah!

I’m also an advocate for an all-inclusive vacation with room, park tickets and dining.

Although I am passionate about Walt Disney World, I have a special place in my heart for the Disney Cruise Line. Rest, relaxation, characters, amazing food and Castaway Cay are just a few of the reasons I love to sail on Disney Cruise Lines.

Amy’s first trip to Walt Disney World was as a teen, but her true love blossomed on her first trip as a mother back in 2006 when her kids were just four and two. Since then, she’s visited Disney World 15 times and Disneyland twice! She’s imparted her love of Disney to her kids and then step kids (5 in all!) and has thoroughly enjoyed seeing them grow up in the parks. They are now teenagers and have experienced Disney in every phase of childhood and adolescence.

Amy joined Magical Vacation Planners in 2017 but has been planning trips for friends and family for years.

I love everything Disney since o was a little girl. I have been going to WDW since 1985. I enjoy all rides every park has to offer. I also can tell you all the best shows and great places to eat. I have experienced Disney anniversaries and their Halloween AMD Christmas parties. I go full Disney at all times, and can tell you all kinds of park info and Disney facts. I enjoy everything Disney and would love to help anyone I can have an amazing magical Disney experience.

I discovered my love at Disney from an early age, going on a Disney Cruise with my best friend and enjoying all that it had to offer, plus park time and a stay after at WDW. After that trip, I made it a bucket list item to try to do all things Disney in my lifetime, and have been actively trying since then. During my trips, I always eat at a new place, whether it be a venue in one of the parks, or at Disney Springs. I also just recently got into runDisney, which only made me want to go back more and more, and try to run all the races. I would love to help anyone and everyone with their own personal trip to all things Disney, as planning is one of my all time favorite hobbies.

“Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer.” I have experience planning for all types of travelers including children with autism and multi-generational families.

Hello! I am so excited to put my experience, knowledge, and skills to work for you! I would love to help you create the wonderful memories that I have!

I am a mid-western girl, a wife, and soccer mom of 3. A graduate of IU, I am a former teacher and stay-at-home mom for the last 14 years. I had never been to Walt Disney World as a child. After hearing about the wonderful vacations a good friend had taken over the years, my husband and I decided to take our family…2 boys, 1 girl, plus my mother…about 10 years ago when my children were 2, 4, and 6. It was such a fun and magical (seriously, it was truly magical!) experience that we have returned to vacation there every year since! It was such a perfect place for all ages to enjoy and share together.

As my children have gotten older, our park and vacation plans are different than they used to be. This has given me so much experience planning for many age levels. I must be doing a good job because my children always want to go back!

I spend countless hours reading, researching, and planning to make our vacations as flawless as possible so that we can spend our time there simply enjoying our vacation! I know that not everyone enjoys or has the time to do that sort of planning. That’s why I am here!Let me put all of my efforts to work for you!

Areas of focus: Walt Disney World, Vacations with young toddlers through teenagers, Choosing a Resort, Dining reservations, Ride selections,

Hello,
I am a lifetime Central Florida resident who LOVES Disney. I live within an hour of Walt Disney Wold and Port Canaveral.

Hello!! My name is Andy and I have a problem……my family and I are Disney addicts! We go to Disney almost yearly for our family vacations. I listen to multiple podcasts weekly and my Facebook feed is filled with Disney groups. At this point I don’t believe there is a cure for this addiction!

I am a father to 3 girls and 1 boy and I have been married for 16 years to my wonderful wife. My wife and I spent our honeymoon at the Animal Kingdom Lodge with a Savannah View. Since then we have visited Disney World almost yearly and have stayed at multiple resorts. My favorite Disney rides are Soarin’ and the now closed Studio Backlot Tour. My favorite restaurants are the Tuskar House and Boma.

Hello! My name is Angel Tanner. I love to travel, Disney is my favorite vacation spot. I am happily married with one son and one granddaughter. I look forward to helping you plan your next vacation.

As child I would watch satellite TV to watch Disney shows and learn about the parks. The magic that I could feel just from watching created my Disney obsession. As I grew the love of Disney did as well. I began working at the Disney Store when I graduated high school. For 3 years it was an amazing place to learn the ins and outs of Disney as well as a ton of trivia. My husband and I went to Disney for the first time with our 2 year old son in 2002. After seeing his little face light up I decided that we would return as often as possible. By the time 2006 came around I had 2 daughters and our family of 5 went once again. We have been to Disney about 7 times. Trying to go at least every other year staying at different resorts each time.

I clearly remember my first trip to Disney World in 1980 as a little girl. My family drove from Virginia to Orlando and I would not sleep a wink. It was excited and I knew that it would be an great trip. Fast forward 34 years…My mom wanted to go to Disney for Christmas. She wanted to bring my family and my sister’s family for nine days! We had been to Disney resorts for professional conferences over the years as well as traveled extensively through the US and internationally, but we had not been back to Magic Kingdom. We spent Christmas Day at Magic Kingdom, ate dinner at the Diamond Horseshoe,and I could not believe that my 5 year old son made it through 13 hours without riding in the stroller. It was truly a magical vacation and we had a blast. When we left the park that night, my son said he wanted to come to Disney four times a year. I said, “Nobody does that. It took me 34 years to come back”. Little did he know I was trying to figure out when we could return because I was hooked!

Well, we have been to Disney 8 more times in 2 ½ years! Dreams do come true! After the 8th trip, I was excited to discover an opportunity to become a Magical Disney Vacation Planner. I am excited to have this opportunity to help people make their magical dreams come true. I love travelling and have been to 37 states and 13 countries, including 4 trips to Australia. I am very detailed oriented and a planner by nature. Let me share my experiences and knowledge of Disney to help you plan your next magical dream vacation!

I am Ann Brown. I am married to an amazing Jamaican man as we have been blessed with three beautiful children. I love to travel to new places with my family. My favorite place to visit is Walt Disney World. I fell I love with it when I was 16. My high school band marched in a parade there and I couldn’t wait to go back. I didn’t get back until I was 39 and I was able to turn 40 in Disney!

We have now visited Walt Disney World several times and been able to visit Disneyland as well. We also enjoy cruising.

While I have visited several countries, there is no trip I enjoy and look forward to more than a Disney vacation!

I have a passion for traveling. If I am not traveling myself, I love planning trips and adventures for others!

I am excited to use my love of travel to help you plan your magical journey!

I live near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with my husband and 2 daughters and have been to Disney many, many times! I loved going to the Disney parks as a child but love it even more now as I see the excitement and smiles on my kid’s faces as they walk through the parks. As soon as you walk through the gates, you can feel the Disney magic! I think everyone should experience that feeling and I would love to be the one who helps you plan that magical vacation. I have planned my family’s Disney vacations for many years and can help you book your vacation too. Whether it is a weekend getaway or a long stay, I look forward to helping you make memories to last a lifetime.

Did you know you can get a haircut at the Harmony Barber Shop on Main Street in Magic Kingdom? I know because for the past 5 years, these amazing Barbers are the only ones who have cut my hair.

My husband and I went to Disney World for our very first vacation together back in 2011. Since then we have gone 2-4 times every year. We even became Annual Passholders because we love it so much. The magic of Disney World is amazing; we feel it as soon as we step onto the Magical Express. The outside world disappears and we enter a world filled with happy people who just want to enjoy life and have fun.

I love learning about Disney. Every decoration, presentation, building, has a story and there are so many little treasures to find like hidden Mickeys and where you can listen in on a party phone line conversation.

Whether you go for 3, 7 or maybe even 10 days to spend time with family, celebrating a special occasion or just need to get away, I would love to help you plan your trip and share the excitement of Disney!

“Laughter is timeless, imagination has no age, and dreams are forever.” -Walt Disney

Ashley fell in love with Disney as a young child watching countless Disney movies. She always dreamed of being a Princess at Disney World. Finally getting the chance to meet these princesses, she was in the happiest place on Earth. Exploring Disney with family and friends through the years has brought a different and magical adventure each time. From visiting with her cousins for the first time, exploring Disney at its best with her husband, or taking a girls trip with friends, Disney never disappoints!

Like Walt Disney said, “Growing old is mandatory, but growing up is optional.” Disney World gives us the ability to live by this.

Ashley is excited to offer her excitement and passion for Disney to help you plan the most magical vacation. Helping you book that special event, fast passes for shows and attractions, or the perfect dinner location is just as fun and the trip itself. Whether that is on land or sea, or even both, Ashley has experienced both and is eager to share those with you.

The greatest joy in life is making memories with family and friends, so why not those memories magical! So get those Mickey ears ready, and let’s start planning your next big adventure!

My family and I travel to Disney World at least once a year! There is nothing more exciting than walking off the Disney transportation for the first time and laying your eyes on Cinderella’s Castle. Or walking down Main Street USA and taking in all the magical energy and nostalgia. I have a passion for detail and planning which makes this the perfect job for me. I’m currently attending a local college for Hospitality and Tourism. My knowledge from this program and my extensive travel experience help me plan magical vacations all year long. I stay as current on all things Disney World the best that I can, from following any and all blogs to talking with others who have recently traveled. My friends and family all consider me their “go-to” Disney person! I hope I can be yours too.

My areas of focus are, Disney World, Family Travel, Dinning, resort and fast pass recommendations.

I look forward to hearing from you soon!

I am a teacher and a mom that loves Disney! I can still remember my very first Disney movie. I remember dancing and singing along with Sleeping Beauty when I was just 6 years old. Aurora is still my favorite Disney princess 30 years later!
I had my first Disney trip while I was in college. When I returned to Disney with my husband and children I experienced a different kind of magic. There were no distractions, just us a family making memories. Having this experience as a family has helped me to realize that I want to help others to make these magical memories that will last a lifetime!

Our family has grown to love the memories born from vacations! From Disney to cruises to the next adventure around the corner, we can’t wait for the experience! After resigning from the classroom to raise my children from home, I am putting my best skills forward to help plan your dream vacations!

Life is short. Take the trip. Forget the details. Embrace the memories.
