Making Magic Happen Every Single Day!

"Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer" ~ This is a philosophy that I firmly believe in and have found to be true since I started in this industry in 1993. Asking a travel agent why you should have them book your vacation versus booking it yourself online is like asking a hairstylist why you should have them cut your hair instead of you buying a pair of scissors and cutting it yourself. The answer is this: You don't know what you don't know. Travel advisors know what we're doing! We help you avoid costly mistakes, we do all the research that you don't have time for, and find the trip that's completely personalized to make your vacation wishes come true!

The Suite Life of Avalon Waterways River Cruising

In my opinion, there is truly no better way to see Europe that via a river cruise. If you think about it, many cities, including the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St Paul, were built along the banks of a river. These rivers are the blood flow of a community across the globe. When sailing on a river...

Adventures by Disney ~ The Stories of Our World

When I tell people that I've traveled to Peru with “Adventures by Disney”, many look at me quizzically and ask, “What’s that? I’ve never heard of it!” or even “So Disney has a theme park in Peru?” What is Adventures by Disney? It is phenomenal adventures that can take you across the globe to where...

Luxurious Disney ~ Treat Yourself Like Royalty

If there is one thing that the pandemic taught us, it's that time is precious. Before then, we never would have dreamed that we would be told that we couldn't travel. We had time on our hands to think about where we want to go as soon as travel was once again possible. And now we can! "Bucket List"...

Adulting is Overrated! ~ Disney Parks for Adults

It's a COVID19 world and people are nervous about traveling. However, now is actually a fantastic time for adults to be visiting Walt Disney World. Safe practices are in place and they are enforced.

Customer Testimonials

The Wold Family

Thank you for all your hard work in planning and organizing our amazing Disney World trip. The trip was a brilliant success from start to finish, and all 11 of us had a delightful time. The Savannah view suites at the Jambo House were perfect. Needless to say, a jaw dropping experience for all of us. Transportation to and from the various parks was very efficient, particularly with regards to the scooter I rented, which was a lifesaver for me. I was very impressed with the accessibility to rides. With two strong young men in our group to help me, there were very few rides that I couldn’t take part in. Everything went off so smoothly and seamlessly thanks for your expert advice and planning. We are so thankful that we contacted you before my diagnosis to begin working your magic, and that we were able to enjoy an exceptional vacation together that will provide lifelong memories for all of us.

Attention to detail

Laurie has had attention to every detail of our traveling, things that I never would have thought of Laurie has covered!! She has helped us before, during and after our vacations. We have had experiences we have contacted her for while traveling such as illness that she was able to make phone calls on the home front taking the worry out of details for us. After working with her over the past few years, she knows what things we like to do and puts together travel plans for us that we would not think of!
Thanks Laurie for your professional and fun planning!
