Meet Our MVP Staff

Hi! I’m Abbey and would love to help you have an amazing vacation, whether it’s in California or Florida. I currently work at a global talent agency, dealing with all sorts of clients, and help out in the travel department as well. I take pride in my customer service skills and will always put you first. Your happiness is my job!
I grew up traveling to Disney with my family, leading me to the Disney College Program. I worked at the Magic Kingdom, where making magic for Guests was just part of a day’s work. Working there taught me so much about giving each Guest their own unique experience. We’re all different – so why should our vacations be the same?
My love for Disney has only grown through the years. I’ve cruised with DCL, am an annual passholder at Disneyland and visit Disney World as often as I can.
I am a huge Disney Princess fan. All my friends, family and even my boyfriend’s family know me as their own Disney Princess! I am constantly getting asked for travel advice, tips, and any questions related to Disney. I honestly love planning vacations, making people happy and, of course, anything Disney – so this is the perfect job for me. My mom, another huge fan, will be helping me out as well so you can be sure to have two experts on your case.
This Disney Princess will make your vacation as magical as can be! My specialties are travelling as adults, as a couple, girls’ trips, with kids of all ages, teenagers and solo trips (yes, these can be done and are still super fun).

Abbey began her journey with Disney at a young age traveling with her family growing up. The feeling that you get when you first enter a Disney park is like no other! Abbey had to share this feeling with her husband, and they went on one of their first vacations together while dating to Disney World! Her husband too, fell in love and they incorporated Disneyland into their honeymoon while visiting California. Now that have two young children, they have returned several times to share that feeling of magic with them. Seeing your child’s eyes light up when entering Disney is pure magic to watch!

Abbey enjoys many aspects of Disney and likes to try new experiences each visit, whether it’s trying new restaurants or staying at a different resort. Because of this, she has a wide range of knowledge about different levels of resorts and types of restaurants! She can also help with travel parties of any number, being that she has travelled with parties ranging from 2 to 15 people!

Allow her to take the stress out of planning so you can truly enjoy every aspect of your magical trip with your family and friends!

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!

Amanda’s love of Disney began in 1980 on her first trip to Walt Disney World with a stay at Ft Wilderness Campgrounds. Her family returned many times throughout her childhood creating lasting memories of time spent with her parents and sister. That Disney tradition has been continuous for 35 years and has included a wedding, several birthday celebrations, a 50th wedding anniversary and countless vacations to the Walt Disney World resort.

Amanda brought her Disney passion to the West Coast when living in Orange County, California where she became a Disneyland Annual Pass Holder for several years. Exploring Disneyland where it all began was highlight of her years spent in Southern California.

Now that Amanda has her own daughter, the Disney vacation tradition continues. With frequent trips to both Walt Disney World and Disneyland her daughter is now hooked too.

Over the past 35+ years Amanda has traveled with small children, adults only, teenagers, young adults and grandparents and is excited to help you plan your next trip and share her love of all things Disney with you and your family!

Amanda has been traveling to Disney for many years, as a child, a college student, with her her husband, and now with their daughter. As a mother, she believes there is nothing more magical than turning the bend on Main Street and seeing the castle in the distance through the eyes of a child — Disney is something that can bring the family together.

She believes that there is always something new and fun to discover at the “House of Mouse” and she would love to help you plan out your vacation. As a self-proclaimed “mega-planner,” she has helped to coordinate and plan many trips for family and friends during all times of the year, be it Halloween, Christmas, Spring, Summer, runDisney, Birthday or Anniversary celebration, or just a spur of the moment splurge.

I fell in love with Disney vacations when I took my family for the first time in 2008. My youngest son and I love everything Disney and travel. The memories it creates and new adventures to be taken. We have been 12 times since 2008, staying at resorts from the Pop Century to Bay Lake Tower. We love the food and will plan our trips around what reservations are available. I am so excited to get to help you plan the most memorable trip!

I am a former Disney Cast Member who absolutely loves all things travel and Disney! I have been helping friends and family plan their vacations for years so I am happy to share my love of travel with even more people!

Being originally from Florida, Amy took for granted how important Disney was for making magical memories. It was not until she and her husband took their daughter for her first Disney vacation that they appreciated the fantasy and wonder of Disney through the eyes of a child. Since October 2006, Amy’s family has had the opportunity to stay more frequently at several Disney deluxe properties where many special occasions, holidays, and life events have been celebrated.
After moving to North Carolina, Amy’s family has been able to also experience the magic of Disney at Disney’s Hilton Head Island as well as travel on the Disney Cruise Line. The dream continues as their love for all things Disney grows.
So, whether you are looking for a family vacation, a milestone celebration, or just a weekend getaway, please let Amy be of service in helping you plan your magical experience while making your Disney dreams come true.

Ever since I was a little girl Disney has been my passion. I grew up going to Walt Disney World and Disney Land. I also have a passion for travel and new adventures. As Walt Disney says If you dream it you can do it!

Although Amy’s first Disney vacation was as an adult, from the first time she stepped foot onto Main Street USA she realized that the magic of Disney transforms any willing heart into that child they may have forgotten. As a wife, and mother of 3, she quickly found ways to make Disney affordable, and now that her children have grown up and left the nest the “Disney Trip” is still the greatest way to ensure everyone will come together as a family, even more than Christmas or Thanksgiving…nobody misses the Disney trip.

Amy understands that Disney magic is just as abundant at the Value resorts as it is at the Moderate or Deluxe accommodations, having stayed at many resorts in each category. By experiencing as many restaurants and special events as possible; Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, Mickey’s Christmas Party, and Run Disney, Amy found that she could make the experience even more magical for everyone. She loves planning trips and looks forward to helping you make your Disney wishes come true.

Amy is inspired by all things Disney! She has been visiting Disney Parks since she was 3 years old-it was love at first sight! She is from a small town in Mississippi but discovered after college she enjoyed the city life and stayed in the Birmingham area. Now she is proudly known by everyone she meets as “The Disney Lady”. Since her first visit she has been trying all things Disney, hoping to eventually experience it all. In addition to Disney World, Amy loves to sail with Disney Cruise Lines, and is working towards sailing on all ships. Amy is very detailed oriented and decicated to making your Magical Vacation the best one ever!

My love for Disney started with my first visit at the age of 4. Every time I return priceless memories flood my mind from the sights, sounds, and smells of Main Street USA in Magic Kingdom to winning a scavenger hunt on Tom Sawyer’s Island with my family as a child to watching my own daughter’s face light up as she sees the fireworks display light up over Cinderella’s Castle for the first time, every moment is truly magical!! Disney vacations are always the highlight of our year and we try to go at least once a year whether it be to the Disney Parks or on a Disney Cruise. No matter which location we choose, every single Disney experience is truly unforgettable!

Disney planning has become a huge passion of mine and I can’t wait to help other families create those same magical Disney moments that I have had the privilege of experiencing all these years!!

Amy, along with her husband Jeremy are self-described Disney Addicts. We have traveled to Walt Disney World together yearly since 1999. I have been unofficially helping friends and family plan their vacation for years. Joining Magical Vacation Planner makes it official. I’m excited to share my Disney knowledge with others!

I live in Frankfort, Kentucky with my husband Jeremy, and 9 year old son, Carter.

My area of focus is helping friends travel to Disney on a budget. We love traveling when there are special Disney offers, such as free dining or room discounts. I’m also an advocate for an all-inclusive vacation with room, park tickets and dining. Most of our best meals have been eaten in Walt Disney World and I love sharing our favorite restaurants with others.

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. Her experience includes multigenerational, adult-only, and multi-family trips, but her true expertise is with large single-family trips. Disney can be a very different trip with 5 kids and 2 adults!

Areas of Focus: Walt Disney World, Disneyland, trips for large families, adults-only trips, planning for small kids and teens, dining and resort recommendations, and dining with vegetarians.

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.

I have been going back ever since and our family loves it!!! I love to help people and I love helping people plan their vacations. So people would come to me and ask me to help plan the Disney vacation and I would, then I saw the opportunity to where I could help people plan their Disney vacation and other vacations so I signed up and did the interview and was able to come aboard. The reason why I love to help people plan a vacation is seeing the excitement as we plan it together and if their children know about it and they included them in the planning is seeing their faces light up as we go over things.

Andrea has spent much time at Walt Disney World from her childhood, to her honeymoon, and now with her own children and husband. Every time Andrea visits Disney, she tears up a little because of all of the memories her and her family have created.

Andrea has also cruised on the Disney Fantasy multiple times. Andrea is a graduate of the College of Disney Knowledge and has attained a special knowledge of Disney Destinations. She enjoys planning Disney trips for her family and friends and is very excited to be a part of Magical Vacation Planners.

Andy was 13 when he first stepped foot on Main Street U.S.A. in Disney Land, California and although the dream of living in the Swiss Family Robinson tree house was never realized, it started a lifelong admiration of Walt Disney and his vision of a world like no other. Sharing the Disney “Magic” with his own family over the years has fostered a blend of fun, excitement and great memories that will last forever. Making great memories for everyone with a little help from the World of Disney Resorts, Cruises and Adventures is his passion. From first time families and couples to the most seasoned of world travelers, Andy’s dedication and experience will ensure a personal, professional and individualized concierge service for every client.

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 absolutely love planning. I especially love to share little secrets to help families make the most out of their vacation. Disney is place to create amazing memories. My hope is to provide a service that will help you enjoy the time beginning to end.

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!

Hi! My name is Anna Butler. I am a military wife and mother to two toddlers and another on the way. My Grandfather took me to Disney world more times than I could count when I was a child and I fell completely in love with the Magic of the Disney experience. While in college I moved to Orlando to do an internship at Disney World and I enjoyed learning the ‘behind the scenes’ part of the business. My husband and I honeymooned at Disney world and enjoyed the relaxing side to the resort. We since have taken our two toddlers and enjoyed the craziness that comes with that! My favorite memory by far was seeing my son watch the parades at the Magic Kingdom.

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.

Living in Florida for the first few years of her life, Arden was able to go to Disney World frequently when in first opened in 1971 and for a number of years thereafter! Thus begun a lifetime love of being in the “World!” Arden recalls a magical trip in 1978 with her mother and grandmother where her grandmother wore a beautiful dress and hat! She was dapper before Dapper Days were a thing. Through the 80s when Arden rocked the big hair and Epcot first opened and into the 90s when Arden took her own sweet toddlers on their first trip, Disney World has always been special to her.

Through these many years, Arden has planned trips for all types of groups: family groups of 16 with three generations, wedding anniversary trips, dance and cheer team groups and, most specially, family trips with her four children. Arden’s children are ages 12-20 now but she traveled with them at all ages: overwhelmed toddlers, princess-obsessed pre-schoolers, apprehensive elementary ages and dare-devil teenagers. She has been in the world pregnant and took a special trip back to Disney with her mother who used a scooter at the time.

Let Arden use her experience of traveling through life’s stages to help you plan your dream vacation. Need to know where a toddler can de-stress? Which restaurants serve kids something other than chicken nuggets? Where to meet a favorite princess? Which rides are appropriate for 5 year olds who are afraid of the dark? Which rides teenagers may proclaim “lame?” What are the best rides for those who have mobility issues? Call Arden!

Arden also loves to cruise! She would love to help you plan your family’s cruise vacation. Her favorite cruise was to Alaska. The majesty and beauty of that state is incredible! Love the beach? Let Arden plan your stay at the Beaches or Sandals resort!

As a former consultant at a big-four accounting firm, Arden learned to pay attention to the details. Let her use that skill so you can enjoy your vacation without worry!
