Every Great Adventure Has a Beginning
I start with you — your family, your favorites, and your must-do moments. Whether it’s castles, cruises, island escapes, or global adventures, I shape the trip around what matters most to you.
From staterooms and dining to special events and behind-the-scenes tours, I handle the reservations that bring your dream vacation to life. You’ll enjoy the magic without the stress of juggling the details.
Every destination has its own systems and shortcuts — and I know them all. From Lightning Lanes in the parks to excursion bookings on the ships, I guide you through the logistics so you spend less time waiting and more time exploring.
Relax knowing I’ve matched you with the right resort, cruise, or adventure, complete with dining, entertainment, and hidden gems tailored to your style. All you need to do is soak in the magic.
Questions pop up? Plans change? I'm with you before, during, and after your vacation — making sure every moment is as seamless and memorable as you imagined.

From the first conversation to the day you return home, my goal is to make your travel experience seamless, stress-free, and tailored to your vacation dreams.
Where My Expertise Shines
As a Disney Destinations specialist, I provide thoughtful recommendations, personalized itinerary planning, and concierge-level support from start to finish. In addition to my Disney expertise, these are the areas where my experience, knowledge, and passion shine brightest.
Celebration Trips
My experience with celebration travel helps me understand how to match the destination and details to the reason you’re traveling. I know what to consider when recommending resorts, cruises, room types, dining, activities, and special experiences for birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, retirements, and other milestones. I can help secure the pieces that make the trip feel personal, meaningful, and easy to enjoy.
Group Cruising
My experience with group cruising helps me understand how important organization and clear recommendations are when multiple travelers are involved. I know what to compare across cruise lines, ships, cabin options, dining, itineraries, excursions, group needs, and onboard atmosphere. I can help secure the right pieces so your group can enjoy traveling together without feeling tangled in the logistics.
Multigenerational Trips
My Disney expertise helps me plan multigenerational vacations that thoughtfully include grandparents, parents, teens, children, and little ones. 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. I can help secure the pieces that allow your family to enjoy meaningful time together without every moment feeling overplanned.
River Cruising
My experience with river cruising helps me know how to match travelers with the right itinerary, cruise line, cabin, pace, and destination experience. I know what to compare when looking at inclusions, excursions, activity levels, dining, onboard atmosphere, and the regions you want to explore. I can help recommend and secure a river cruise that feels relaxing, enriching, and perfectly suited to your travel style.
Sandals & Beaches
My experience with Sandals and Beaches Resorts helps me understand how different each island, resort, and room category can feel. I know what to consider when comparing adults-only romance, family-friendly fun, dining, beach style, activities, inclusions, atmosphere, and resort layout. I can help recommend and secure the resort and room type that best match your expectations, priorities, and vacation style.

What My Clients Are Saying
Two important details stand out that I would not have known to ask about if I had planned this trip on my own. Our stateroom was in the perfect location for our family, and we had stage side seats for dinner in Arendelle on the first night. This kicked off our trip in HIGH gear! She made the trip planning and adding on transfers and pre-cruise hotel seamless. This is the third trip Mary has planned for our family, and we will tap into her services and expertise again!
Mary always answered my questions with patience and joy. No question is too trivial for her. She is our champion. The trip was perfect.
Mary is amazing! I am a planner by nature so I had a lot of little questions. She was so wonderful to patiently answer each one. She really knows Disney! A discount came out after we booked and she was up really early the day it started waiting for it to begin so she could get us the discount. She took care of every little detail down to what a Jawa likes to trade (my boys love Star Wars). She helped us plan a wonderful trip that we will never forget!
Mary is the BEST! She goes above any beyond to ensure everything is better than you can imagine.

Mary was great and made every attempt to address all concerns timely. She checked in, she was friendly and helpful. Mary is very caring. It was a trip of great memories that will last forever. It was absolutely fantastic
Mary has planned two trips for us now. She did an AMAZING job tailoring both trips to our needs and our kids' ages. There is NO WAY I could have planned and organized everything as well as she did! She made excellent use of our time there, and had the inside scoop on EVERYTHING!! ...she knows what parks to visit and when (for smaller crowds), where to watch the fireworks shows for the best views, and even what part of each ride/coaster to sit in for a better ride! We will definitely be using her again for future trips!
Mary, thank you so much for planning this cruise for us!!! It is a dream-come-true to take this trip with our kids & grandkids!!! You are the best & I will recommend you highly to EVERYONE I know!!! Thank you for your patience, kindness & professionalism when dealing with all of us & answering all our questions! We love you & Crazy Imagination Travel!!!
