Why should I work with a travel advisor?

Planning a vacation should feel exciting - not overwhelming. When you partner with me, you’re not just getting an itinerary; you’re gaining an advocate who believes every traveler - including those with disabilities, medical, and sensory needs - deserves a seamless and joy-filled experience. From researching accessible resorts and coordinating accommodations to managing dining, transportation, and park logistics, I handle it all with care and expertise. My goal is simple: to remove the stress so you can focus on the fun. If something unexpected pops up while you’re away, I’m just a message or call away to help make things right. That kind of personalized support is pure travel magic- and something you won’t find by clicking “book now” on a generic website.

Is there a fee for your planning services? 

Here’s the best news - my white-glove, concierge-level planning services are complimentary when you book with me. The commission from your booking is already built into the price by travel suppliers, whether you use an advisor or not. Yes, you read that correctly - whether you book your trip yourself on the web OR you book with a trained professional travel advisor like me, the commissions paid to travel advisors are built into the cost of your trip from your supplier (be it a resort, hotel, airline, cruise line, etc.). So why should you be doing the work if you're already paying for a travel advisor? When you choose to book through me, I ensure that commission works for you - fueling expert planning, tailored itineraries, and thoughtful accessibility considerations that online search engines and travel websites often overlook. You’ll enjoy personalized support and a trip designed around your needs, with no extra cost for the peace of mind that comes with it.

But won't it cost more to book with you? I saw a fantastic deal on _____ website.

Nope, that's a common misunderstanding - booking with me not only saves you a ton of time and stress, but can also provide you with better value for your vacation budget. As a professional travel advisor, I have access to all the pricing that's available to the general public. However, I also have access to promotions and offers that come from relationships with our suppliers and are not always available to consumers. The best part? I am always up to date with the latest promotions and offers, so I'll automatically apply the best available offers for you - even if a better offer comes along after you've booked! It's just one of the ways working with me provides you with peace of mind knowing that you got your dream trip for the best price.

What kinds of trips do you plan?

From European getaways to Disney adventures, ocean and river cruises to dream beach getaways, I plan it all. Whether you’re dreaming of a multi-generational family vacation (and yes, as a #TwinMom I have a special understanding of the needs of families with multiples!), an adults-only escape, or an accessible adventure designed around mobility, sensory, or dietary needs, your trip will be crafted with thought, care, and every detail in mind. If it’s your dream, I’ll find a way to make it a reality - with enchanted access at its core!

Can you help me with flights only?

Standalone flights aren’t typically something I book, but when you reserve a full vacation package - such as a Disney or Universal trip, cruise, all-inclusive resort, or international itinerary - I’ll happily include flights as part of your complete travel experience. Keeping everything under one magical umbrella ensures a smoother, more coordinated trip from start to finish.

How involved can I be in the planning?

As much or as little as you’d like! Some of my clients love being hands-on, while others prefer to hand me the wand and watch the magic unfold. My role is to support your travel style - whether that means fine-tuning accessibility details, planning itineraries down to the hour with you, or curating a surprise-filled adventure you simply show up and enjoy. Either way, it’s your vacation, done your way.

Won't it just be easier/quicker for me to book through _____ website or my big-box store? 

Think of it like this: if you were remodeling your dream kitchen, would you trust a random DIY site to choose your layout, materials, and contractors? Probably not. Travel planning deserves the same level of expertise. Big-box stores and booking engines can’t anticipate the complex needs of travelers, particularly those who require accessible rooms, sensory-friendly experiences, dietary restrictions, or coordinated care for unique family structures. I can. Access and accommodations are at the core of everything I do professionally because they are at the core of who I am personally: a mom of multiples, teacher, and parent/partner to some of the coolest disabled and neurodivergent folks on the planet! I work directly with vetted, trustworthy partners and know the questions to ask to ensure your trip fits your family's needs perfectly, seamlessly, and safely. When you travel with me, you’re not just booking a trip. You’re gaining a guide, an advocate, and a partner who believes that the magic of travel belongs to everyone - so everyone deserves enchanted access to explore the world worry-free and without limits.
