I will take the time to get to know you and what your vision is for your trip. Do you want to be at the parks from Rope-Drop to Kiss Goodnight, or are you planning to wake up late (cause it’s vacation, right?!)? Are you looking for the best/most unique food to savor, or just want quick (but yummy!) sustenance? Do you want to experience ALL the thrills, or is your real goal to sit by the pool with an umbrella-laden beverage? Whatever your ideal trip, I am here to help you craft it. Add in a personalized itinerary, curated sample packing lists, a Genie+ guide, a Disney with kids guide, (and so much more), you’ll be thrilled to just sit back peacefully and soak in all the carefully curated information. No need to ask “Ask Jeeves”, “Google It”, or spend hours in social media groups trying to prepare… Unless you really want to, LOL.CoryFormer Cast MemberMy wealth of vacation knowledge is definitely anything Walt Disney World focused.
