Fly or drive
A morning flight can still leave room for a gentle arrival, or a park evening if that is your style. A drive changes the first night. I help you pick the version that fits your crew, car seats, and luggage.

Stress-Free Disney Vacation Planning for Your Family
I’m Katie, your Walt Disney World travel planner. I handle the dining, itineraries, and reservations so you can focus on making memories that last a lifetime. As a mom of four, I know how much goes into a family trip, and I’m with you every step of the way, from picking the perfect resort to timing your Lightning Lanes.
Planning Services at No Extra Cost
When you book an eligible Disney vacation package through me, my planning services are included at no additional charge. Disney pays travel planners a commission after your vacation is complete, so you receive my assistance without paying extra.
Think of me as your free Disney travel agent: Disney pays my commission on eligible packages, so you never pay a planning fee.
Simple process
How It Works
Three simple steps to your perfect Disney vacation.
- 01
Tell Me Your Dream
Fill out my quick planning form with your dates, group, and wish list. No detail is too big or too small.
- 02
I Build Your Perfect Plan
I create a custom itinerary, book dining, secure reservations, and handle every detail from start to finish.
- 03
You Enjoy the Magic
Show up, soak it all in, and let the magic happen. I'm available throughout your trip if you need anything.
What I handle
Every detail, planned with you
From the first spark of an idea to the moment you walk through the gates, I handle the pieces that usually eat a family’s evenings.
Custom Itinerary Planning
No two families are alike, and no two itineraries should be either. I build a day-by-day plan tailored to your party's ages, interests, pace, and must-dos — so you spend less time figuring out what to do next and more time actually doing it.
Dining Reservation Management
Disney dining reservations open 60 days in advance and the best tables disappear fast. I monitor the booking window and secure your reservations the moment they open — from character breakfasts to signature dining experiences.
Park Strategy & Lightning Lane
Knowing when to be where — and how to use Disney's Lightning Lane system — can be the difference between a magical day and a frustrating one. I give you a proven strategy to maximize your time and minimize your wait.
Resort Recommendations
Choosing the right resort sets the tone for your entire trip. I'll match you with the perfect property based on your budget, travel style, and what matters most to your family — whether that's theming, location, amenities, or value.
Ticket & Package Booking
I'll help you navigate Disney's ticket options — park hoppers, multi-day passes, and vacation packages — and book everything in one place. No confusion, no overpaying, no missing out on current promotions.
Ongoing Support
My job doesn't end when your trip is booked. I'm here for questions, changes, and surprises right up until you return home. Think of me as your personal Disney concierge — always just a message away.
From home to the parks
Planning the trip around your family
Wherever you are starting from, how you travel and when you go shape the whole vacation. We sort that out before we ever talk about park days.
The first night
Arrival day should not be a sprint. I plan the resort check-in, that first meal, and whether anyone has energy left for a park, so the trip starts calm.
Around your calendar
I time trips around school breaks, work schedules, and crowd patterns, and I will tell you when a midweek arrival beats a Saturday.

What families are saying
Real notes from families who let me help with the plan.
Planning a trip to Disney felt overwhelming until I spoke with Katie! Every detail was taken care of — from resort recommendations to dining reservations and park strategies. We spent less time stressing and more time making memories with our family.
I can't recommend Katie enough! She answered every question and gave us personalized tips that saved us both time and money. We will definitely use Katie again for our next Disney trip!
From the moment we booked until we returned home, Katie provided exceptional service. She found the perfect resort for our family, helped us navigate Lightning Lane options, and even suggested hidden gems we would have missed on our own.

Does it cost more to use a Disney travel agent?
No. When you book an eligible Disney vacation package through me, Disney pays my commission, so my planning is included at no extra cost to you. You pay the same price you would pay booking directly.
What do you actually do for me?
I help you pick the right resort, tickets and dates, book your package, make your dining reservations the moment they open, build a day-by-day park plan, and help with Lightning Lane strategy. I'm also here for questions before and during your trip.
How much is the deposit?
Most Walt Disney World packages need a $200 deposit, and the balance is due 30 days before arrival. I'll send you every important date in writing.
