“Emily makes planning a Disney vacation a BREEZE even for the biggest Disney enthusiast. I have been 50+ times and choose to use her as my agent every time. She’s always up to date with the newest Disney news, foods, deals, whatever it may be! She has the best recommendations on things to do, and places to try. She lets you be involved and takes your own personal wants for a vacation into consideration. Even just getting quotes and ballpark ideas from her is great and has no strings attached! Even when I think I’ve found a great deal she usually comes back with a better quote! I will always recommend her to friends and family.”

“Emily was amazing to work with! I was very overwhelmed and somewhat nervous having never planned a Disney vacation before. Disney really is its own world with its own language and Emily speaks it fluently! She made everything so simple.

My family and I truly had the best Disney vacation and I owe that to Emily!”

We would absolutely recommend her to anyone planning a Disney vacation!”

“Hi Melissa, I just want to thank you so much for all your help making our trip magical. There is no way I would’ve been able to plan all of it without you! From all my questions about the parks and attractions and what would work best for our family you were such a big help. The kids enjoyed both parks and their favorite ride was Expedition Everest. The resort was perfect for our family and the kids loved the pools and waterslides. Thank you again for everything!!!”
