Walt Disney World, Florida ~ A Dreamer's Paradise

I don't specialize in Disney Destinations because I took classes or studied books. It’s because I truly have a passion for Disney. I take my own personal vacations to Disney Destinations and have been to them 50+ times.

Walt Disney World. A...

Walt Disney World. A place that automatically brings thoughts of Cinderella’s Castle with fireworks exploding above.

I’ve spent a large amount of time learning about the many resort hotels, the restaurants, the recreation, and of course the parks themselves. Especially since they are all constantly changing! Disney is known for creating memories and making dreams come true. The memories those trips have created will be with me forever.

Minnesota is my home and I’ve enjoyed helping plan Disney vacations for families here in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul since I started in this business over 30 years ago. Over the years that has expanded to include families all over the United States.

A Walt Disney World vacation is not a one-size-fits-all situation. Are you traveling with a large multi-generational group with an age range of 5 to 75? Are you traveling with friends and looking for an “Adult Disney” experience? Are you a family of four, taking your children to Walt Disney World for the first time?

For first timers, it’s my job to help you to navigate through the overwhelming amount of information that can be found on the internet. Your friends and relatives have all sorts of advice for you based on their own vacations. But this isn’t their vacation, it’s yours! I can simplify the entire process by narrowing down the Walt Disney World vacation that’s best for your family based on your budget as well as the desires of your family to create magical memories.

For the beloved “Disneyphiles” like me who return to the various Disney Destinations again and again, I can help your next trip be unique from those of years past. Backstage tours, signature dining, a new resort experience, and recreation opportunities will make each trip extraordinary. The Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Disney Springs, Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon, and Disney’s Blizzard Beach await you in sunny Florida.

I would consider it an honor to help you build the path towards making the Disney dreams come true for you and your family.

Galaxy Travel Disney Team & Kevin!

"Me, me, me! I want to stand in line!!" Said no one. Ever.

For those frequent Disney Parks guests who would love to be treated like a rock star OR for first timers who want to visit each park's tops attractions as smoothly as possible, then a VIP tour guide is the answer!

Along with the Galaxy Travel Disney Team, I was able to experience this truly amazing VIP experience for a full day of the red carpet treatment. We arranged in advance for our guide to meet us in the lobby of Disney's Beach Club Resort after we had finished a delicious breakfast with the characters at Cape May Cafe.

Our guide's name was Kevin and let me just say that we knew very quickly that this was going to be a FUN day! With his big smile and quick wit, we were quickly at ease with him and felt like we had made a new friend.

Before we left Minnesota we had created a rough itinerary of the parks we wanted to visit. Kevin whisked us away in our own private shuttle from Disney's Beach Club Resort to our requested first stop which was Disney's Hollywood Studios. We were driven directly back stage which means we completely bypassed the long bag check and ticket turnstiles. We were met by several cast members who scanned our bags and processed our theme park ticket entry as well as offering bottles of water and light snacks (chips, candy, granola bars, etc.) to take with us into the park.

Kevin escorted us into the park through a backstage entrance near the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster. He got to know who in our group was up for the thrill rides and who might want to take things easy. He sought out the Disney PhotoPass photographers so we could get snapshots taken as we made our way from place to place. At each attraction we skipped the line almost completely! Which means we were able to enjoy Toy Story Mania, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, the Rock 'n' Rollercoaster, Star Tours, and even visit Chewbacca at the Star Wars Launch Bay in less than 2 hours!

Back in the van, we made our way to Disney's Animal Kingdom for the next. Since out tickets had already been scanned and bags checked, we immediately walked into the park, again through a backstage entrance near the Festival of the Lion King stage. We were quickly on our way to Kilimanjaro Safari and Expedition Everest while still taking time for some PhotoPass photos and a quick snack break. Conversation flowed freely with Kevin giving us trivia about the parks along the way. He was truly a joy to be around and had us laughing constantly. When he joined us for an attraction that snapped photos during the ride, he always surprised us with his expressions and silly poses that were definitely out of the ordinary!

It was time to make our way to Epcot after about 2 1/2 hours at Disney's Animal Kingdom. We started off by entering backstage directly into The Land building so we could ride Soarin'. After that we wanted to ride both Test Track and Frozen. But who wants to walk all the way from one side of the park to the other when you've got your own private van and driver to shuttle you there?? So we hopped back in the van and drove backstage from The Land pavilion to Test Track in a matter of a few minutes. Skipping these notoriously long lines and spend a little less time on our feet was really a treat.

As we completed our day of “power park-hopping” between 3 of Walt Disney World's theme parks, I was truly stunned at how much we had accomplished in such a short time. 3 parks in one day using standard transportation and standing in lines would have been an exhausting experience. Yet we were refreshed, laughing, and had plenty of great stories about our fun-filled day. Kevin brought us back to our home away from home at Disney's Boardwalk Inn where we snapped our final photos with him. Hugs and thankful expressions were shared with this delightful man with whom we had the pleasure of sharing our day.
