Travel Specialist

As a dedicated travel planner with over two years of experience, I specialize in crafting unforgettable travel experiences for families, especially those seeking the magic of Disney and the excitement of cruising.

As a mom to a toddler and a baby I understand the importance of making family vacations stress-free and full of memories that last a lifetime.

With a passion for travel, I’ve personally experienced 17 cruises with various cruise lines, including Disney Cruise Line and Royal Caribbean, and I visit Walt Disney World 3-4 times a year to stay up-to-date with the latest offerings and insider tips.

Whether it’s a relaxing Disney Cruise, a fun-filled vacation at Walt Disney World, or an adventure at Universal or Disneyland, I love helping families design vacations that perfectly fit their needs and preferences.

The Vacationeer is an Authorized Disney Travel Planner agency and Diamond Earmarked by Disney. As a travel planner with The Vacationeer, I have exclusive access to special offers, including free onboard credit for Disney Cruise Line, ensuring that my clients receive the best value and experiences possible. I’m here to make your next family vacation effortless, fun, and magical!

We were so fortunate to have Emily to guide us through our adventure. My husband and I decided to plan a once in a lifetime Florida experience and to include 5 days at Disney World. From the first inquiry to the last day of our trip, Emily helped us navigate the 4 Disney Parks with tips and suggestions and always with infinite patience and humor. Her suggestion for our resort choice was perfect and she made sure everything went smoothly. Thank you so much, Emily!

I was looking to do something very intentional with my young adult daughter to celebrate her recent accomplishments and a trip to Disney/Universal sounded like a lot of fun. That being said, as a special education teacher, trying to find time to plan such a trip during the holidays, I am not talented enough for all that. You know who is, Emily! This is an incredible service that Emily does exceptionally well. After a few moments of speaking with Emily, you understand that she has a passion for what she does and a joy for....well, making dreams come true??. Emily is willing to walk you through the whole process and answer any of your questions, regardless of how silly you may think they are. Emily also understands how overwhelming this can be, especially if this is your first time. This is a free service, which is amazing and Emily gives you the five-star treatment. She even sent us a Bon-Voyage package that was so appreciated and truly came in handy, several times! You are not loosing

We had Emily book our cruise for 12 people! It was so nice to not have to worry about anything. She made sure we had everything we needed and checked in with us throughout the whole process. She is willing to go the extra mile for every client! You know you are getting the best care when you use her as your travel agent.
