Agent Specializing in Couples & Family Trips

There is nothing I enjoy more than planning vacations to Walt Disney World!  Imagine flying the Millenium Falcon at Disney's Hollywood Studios, enjoying the dazzling fireworks spectacular Happily Ever After at Disney's Magic Kingdom or meeting Mickey himself on Main Street U.S.A. Because of my experience I can suggest the perfect Disney resort for your family and help with the planning process.

Family Vacations Expert

Family Vacations Expert

<p>I initially became a travel agent because I was exposed to travel at a young age and it became a lifelong passion for me. Now, after 25 years as an agent, I still love what I do.</p>
<p>I truly believe that travel is the best gift we can offer to children. Travel exposes them to new places and new ideas they can't learn about in any other way. Instead of material gifts, when you travel as a family, you not only create memories that will last a lifetime but you provide life experiences for your kids.</p>
<p>That's why I specialize in family travel! I hold a certificate from the College of Disney Knowledge and have completed UniversalandU training. Because I have personally visited DisneyWorld and Universal Orlando more than 20 times, I know there is always something new to discover.</p>
<p>I have firsthand experience of these resorts and the unique activities and attractions. Adults have as much fun at the theme parks as their children and grandchildren.</p>
<p>They are ideal for multi-generational travel, and visiting any time of the year can be a distinctive experience. As a travel agent, I have had many opportunities to help clients book trips that include special events like holiday parties. That can be an added bonus!</p>
<p>The experience of a multigenerational family that booked a VIP tour at Disney is worth noting. They were treated like celebrities. A private guide picked them up at their hotel and they entered the park through a separate entrance. They didn't even have to stand in line to access rides. Needless to say, they loved it!</p>
<p>Planning trips has become more complicated, but as a travel agent I have access to the many tools that keep me updated on changing rules and restrictions.</p>
<p>Can I help you plan your next family vacation?</p>

Shannon was always very helpful. She replied promptly when I had questions, which I had lots. She is very pleasant and professional, knew her stuff when it came to planning my trip for me. I even added last minute things to my trip and she was right on top of it all.
Diane - Nassau ~ Bahamas ~ Caribbean
We have been using Shannon for 15 years. She has always done a great job arranging our travel. One time stands out when we had a huge winter storm. She gave us good advice about staying home a few extra days and rearranging our travel plans. As it turned out we didn't have to spend time snowed in at the hotel before being able to head out on our trip. I would recommend to anyone wanting to plan a trip to give Shannon a call.
Enjoy - Cancun ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
Shannon was life saver! She arrange our Walt Disney World family vacation while taking on all of the last minute requests from the 8 Adults and 6 children under the age of 12 with such effortlessness. Her Disney expertise are beyond words as she came up with additional recommendations for our time in the park that we were not aware of . Shannon was a blessing to work with as the only task that we had to do was to pack our bags (she even sent a suggested list for that as well)!
Tina - Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
