About Me

In today’s crazy world, nothing is more important than finding joy. It’s important to flex our hearts and minds though creativity and inspiration.

For me, I love history, art, and being inspired by others, which makes planning magical vacations right up my alley.From the exciting new attractions across Disney theme parks and Universal Studios, to meticulously planned tours of ancient cities around the world, or a luxury cruise - planning travel for others truly brings me joy.

Our memories are the stories of our lives: I’m honored to help families create magical ones.

All-Inclusive Resorts & Vacations

My experience with all-inclusive vacations helps me know that the “right” resort is about much more than pretty photos and a beach chair.

I can help recommend and secure a resort that fits your travel style, whether you’re looking for romance, relaxation, family fun, luxury, or a little bit of everything.

I know how to recommend resorts, dining, transportation, park plans, rest time, mobility considerations, and shared experiences that work for different ages and energy levels.

Traveling with Grandparents

My Disney expertise helps me plan vacations where grandparents can be meaningfully included without feeling overwhelmed.

What My Clients Are Saying

A well-planned vacation speaks for itself—but my clients are happy to speak up too. Here are a few magical moments, in their own words:
Veronica Ramirez

I had an amazing experience using Kari from Crazy Imagination Travel! She was super helpful and ALWAYS answered any question I had before planning our trip. She did a wonderful job explaining the park, parking, food plans and any other thing I could think about. Kari did an awesome job with setting up a daily planner that I could go by and it was super helpful when I was looking for things to do. Best experience ever!

The Sharma Family

I cannot explain you in words how grateful my family and I are to Kari for taking care of our eight day holiday. I really appreciate her. We will share Kari's contact information with our friends and family members for their future holiday plans too!

Robin Fox & Family

I cannot say enough or thank Kari enough for giving my family the Disney Experience of a lifetime - An experience that we will treasure always! Knowing Kari, she was as excited for my family as we were in making our dreams come true and sprinkling fairy dust all over our magical vacation. She coordinated every detail so that everyone felt at peace and at ease and everyone in our party, aged 7 thru 63, enjoyed themselves to the fullest extent. I sincerely recommend this awesome lady with making YOUR pixie dust dreams magical and real.

Dan and Jennifer Franklin

Kari has been wonderful to work with. We recommend her to all of our friends. She listens to our wants and needs and makes all of our arrangements based on our personal choices. Recently she arranged a trip to Italy that included private tours and drivers, special dinner reservations, and mobility equipment throughout the entire 12-day trip from Rome to Amalfi. The accommodations were beautiful and centrally located, and we had wonderful vacation. She’s also a lot of fun!

Paige Callaway

Kari has planned some of the best vacations I’ve ever taken and helped create lifelong memories. She found the perfect spot for my honeymoon with my husband, even during the pandemic, and has created magical moments with Disney trips. I love her attention to detail and recommendations that really make our vacations extra special!
