As a Florida local, I specialize in helping families and travelers experience the magic of Disney and Universal destinations. Whether it’s your first visit or your fifteenth, I love creating customized itineraries that bring the parks to life with ease, excitement, and a little extra pixie dust.

I'm also passionate about cruising — there’s nothing quite like the feeling of setting sail toward new adventures. I work closely with all the major cruise lines and have in-depth knowledge of different ships, itineraries, and onboard experiences. Whether you're dreaming of an ocean escape, a Caribbean getaway, or a multi-country European cruise, I’ll match you with the perfect voyage and handle all the details — from cabin selection to shore excursions.With travel experiences in over 17 countries, I bring a global perspective to every itinerary. I especially love working with travelers who are curious about Europe and South America, and I take pride in creating seamless journeys that immerse you in new cultures, flavors, and landscapes.

My goal is simple: to make your travel dreams stress-free, personalized, and unforgettable. Let’s start planning your next adventure!

I contacted Carol through the list of options on Disney's main website, and although I tried with three different agents, she was the only one who responded to my request within a minute. The experience with her was very good; she was always attentive, always available, very professional, and clear. She helped us a lot with a lot of questions during our organization, and her recommendations were very accurate. We are very happy to have experienced the magic of Disney, and she was a key part of the entire organization. She made us experience it from the very beginning. Thank you so much! It was, without a doubt, the best vacation so far!

I choose to write this review before my trip because I have taken trips last 2 yrs with my family to Disney with Carol Strickler as my travel agent . She never disappoints and this year will be no different. Carol is very a mere professional. She guides me through when planning my trips . Carol gives feedback and suggestions - she is very hands on. She makes sure it’s the best experience. She is available if there are any questions or concerns throughout the trip .. Carol is truly a rare gem.. LOVE her..

We planned a complex multi family trip to Disney and Universal and Carol managed it all seamlessly. No question she couldn’t answer and always super responsive. Thank you Carol!
