You probably didn't know that when you book your own travel, you're paying for a service you're not using!

Travel advisors like me get paid by the destination because most build commissions into the public rates. So you’re never charged a fee for anything I receive a commission on. And I only receive my commission if you book with me and after you return from your vacation.

So, it's a win/win for both of us if I help you book your trip. I get a commission, and you get expert planning advice, support before, during, and after your trip, someone who will look for discounts for you (even after you book), and so much more.

If you're like me and want to have as much control over your vacation as possible, you can do that even if I book your trip. Or, if you want to be totally hands-off and let someone else do all the work, I can do that too! In either case, the advantage in engaging my services is that I'm always in your corner, and always on call if you have questions, need advice, or in case something goes wrong.

The bottom line is, you can enjoy having a real live person who knows your trip and is happy to offer dining and accommodation suggestions, tips and tricks, and will sit on hold so you don't have to.
I specialize in:
  • Disney Destinations
  • Universal Parks & Resorts
  • Other theme parks (SeaWorld, Busch Gardens, etc.)
  • Ocean, River, and Expedition Cruising
  • All-Inclusive Resorts
  • Guided Worldwide Travel
I can also help you plan and book other destinations like Europe, Hawaii, Japan, Australia, and more!
My services are complimentary on anything I book that I receive commission on. You won’t pay more than published prices for your vacation if you retain my services. And, you get so much more when you book with me including:

  • Money saving tips and tricks!
  • Recommendations for the right vacation destination to match your needs… and your budget. 
  • As little or as much involvement in your planning process as you like. If you want to do port adventures and dining reservations that is totally ok, but of course I would be more than happy to do them for you!
  • Time savings! I’ll sit on hold so you don’t have to for reservation changes and I’ll even wake up at midnight or 5 or 6 am and book your reservations the day they become available!
  • Support and troubleshooting while you’re on vacation. If you run into any problems on your vacation give me a call! I will do what I can to fix the situation.
  • Customized experiences, like side trips, special passes, upgrades, and little touches that are not available to the general public.
  • Expertise in travel requirements for countries around the world.
  • And so much more!
Most Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort vacation packages only require a $200 deposit with the ability to pay over time right up until the paid in full date (usually 30 days prior to your trip).

For Disney Cruise Line, you can make a deposit (20% of the total cruise fare) and pay over time up until the paid in full date (90 to 120 days prior to sailing depending on the itinerary). And here's a tip: booking as early as possible can save you money since prices can and do increase over time. If you join my mailing list, you'll be notified when new itineraries are released to get the best pricing and allow you more time to make payments!

Additionally, my job as your travel specialist is to find the best deals and discounts for your trip... and that includes discounts that can be applied even after you book. And as always, my services are complimentary!

About Michelle
I'm known for my love of all things Disney and I'm affectionately known as “Disnerd Michelle” to friends and family…and for good reason! I am a Walt Disney World Resort Annual Passholder, a Disney Vacation Club member, and a Disney Cruise Line Platinum Castaway Club member. I have visited Disney Parks on both coasts dozens of times and have been planning vacations to Disney destinations for years!

In addition to my Disney obsession, I love to cruise and I've sailed to destinations around the world including Northern Europe, the Mediterranean, Bahamas, Caribbean (East, West & South), Mexico, and Alaska. When not sailing the shimmering seas or visiting the Most Magical (or Happiest) Place on Earth, I enjoy experiencing other destinations including Universal Orlando and Universal Studios Hollywood or wherever I can immerse myself in the local culture. 

I hold certifications in all areas I specialize in including the Disney College of Knowledge, Universal Parks & Resorts, Sandals + Beaches, and major cruise lines. I am also a Certified Autism Travel Professional (CATP) and a Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) Certified Cruise Counselor. 

I believe that travel is the best gift you can give yourself and those you love and I'm ready to help you plan an unforgettable experience on land or at sea! No matter the destination, I will handle all the details so you can focus on enjoying every moment!
