Disney vacation planning
A Disney travel agent who actually plans your trip
Disney vacations involve a lot of moving parts. Kelly helps families and couples sort through the options, make the right choices, and arrive ready to enjoy every day.
Plan My Disney VacationThere's a reason people spend weeks researching Disney vacations before booking. Between resort hotels, ticket types, park reservation systems, dining reservations, transportation options, and the sheer number of things to do, a Disney trip requires more planning than most vacations. Getting it right makes a real difference in how the trip feels.
A Disney travel advisor helps you cut through that complexity. Kelly works with families, couples, and groups across the country to plan Walt Disney World and Disneyland vacations — and Disney Cruise Line sailings — that fit their specific situation. Her planning services are complimentary; she's compensated by Disney, not by charging you extra.
What a Disney travel advisor actually does
Resort selection
Disney World has over two dozen resort hotels across multiple price tiers, from value resorts to deluxe properties. The right choice depends on your budget, your group's ages, how much time you want to spend in the parks, and what kind of experience matters most. Kelly helps you weigh those factors rather than just picking a price point.
Ticket and park planning
Disney's ticketing system has multiple options — park-hopper add-ons, multi-day structures, and date-based pricing that varies significantly. Understanding what you actually need (versus what sounds appealing) saves money and avoids buying more than necessary.
Dining reservations
Table-service dining at Disney opens 60 days before arrival. Popular restaurants — especially character dining and signature experiences — book up quickly. Kelly helps you understand which reservations are worth pursuing and when to make them.
Itinerary guidance
How you structure your days affects how much you enjoy them. Rope drop strategies, midday breaks, park-hopping timing, and knowing which attractions to prioritize on which days all make a difference — especially for first-time visitors.
Special occasions
Birthdays, anniversaries, honeymoons, and milestone trips have specific options at Disney — from in-room celebrations to special dining experiences. Kelly can help you identify what's available and worth doing for your occasion.
Groups and multi-generational trips
Traveling with extended family or a large group adds coordination complexity. Different ages, different mobility levels, and different priorities all need to be accounted for in the planning.
Disney destinations Kelly can help you plan
Walt Disney World
Orlando, Florida
Four theme parks, two water parks, Disney Springs, and dozens of resort hotels across a 40-square-mile property. The most complex Disney destination to plan — and the one where good planning makes the biggest difference.
Disneyland Resort
Anaheim, California
Two parks — Disneyland and Disney California Adventure — plus the Downtown Disney District. More compact than Walt Disney World, but still worth planning carefully, especially around park reservations and dining.
Disney Cruise Line
Multiple homeports
Disney's cruise ships combine the character and entertainment of the parks with a cruise vacation. Itineraries range from short Bahamas sailings to longer Caribbean and European voyages. A different kind of Disney experience worth considering alongside a parks trip.
Who benefits most from Disney vacation planning help
First-time visitors who don't know where to start and want to avoid common mistakes.
