Wishes come true, “snow” falls and holiday magic shines bright on select nights during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom® Park, November 8–December 22!

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve posted something - but it’s because I’ve been helping families plan their Disney trips! It’s been so fun and rewarding to hear that my time, recommendations, and efforts are truly making an impact and are helping families make magical memories together.

“I have known Elena almost my whole life & was so excited (and relieved) that she would be able to assist us with our trip. I haven’t been to Disney in 30 years so was clueless about it all. She was so patient and walked us through everything from hotels & transportation to parks & dining. We made several changes from our initial booking, and she was there with us throughout with a lot of patience. To be honest, I did wonder about some of her recommendations (for instance the Memory Maker and sit down dining service at the parks) but when it came to it, both were necessary & worth it and glad that we had her to guide us! The level of customer service is unmatched. I highly recommend choosing Elena to help book your next magical trip!”

Elena was wonderful to work with. We had a big group going and everyone was coming from different directions and had different needs. She accommodated everyone. I threw some requests at her last minute and she was able to get everything I asked for. I was very unsure of a Princess lunch and she was very patient with me and answered all questions and concerns I had as I worked through the process. Thanks for everything Elena , we had the best time!! -

Thanks for trusting me to help plan your trip and add to the magic!!

Merry Christmas, everyone! A huge THANK YOU to all my friends and family who chose to work with me and support my business (and my family) during my first year as a travel agent!

It’s hard to believe that in just a little over 10 months, I had the privilege of working with nearly 50 families!! Each one of them taught me something new, refined my organizational and planning skills and was special to me. From old high school friends and MBA colleagues who I got to reconnect with to families who currently attend my kids’ school and new referrals - it really has been so fun helping each and every family plan a vacation and create special moments together.

In addition to appreciating each and every client, I am also thankful for this opportunity in general. While being a mom will always be my #1 calling and the most important thing I do, it has been such a joy to develop this side hustle! It has activated my brain in a way that hasn’t been used in a while and has allowed me to share my genuine love of traveling. And the cherry on top for this extrovert? Reconnecting and socializing with so many people who have faded away because of the twists and turns of life… but their vacation brought us back together!

To put it simply, this year has been a fun, fulfilling and exciting year as a travel agent. Looking forward to all the adventures 2026 has in store! So far my clients are headed to Disney, Universal, Aspen, Napa, Italy and a European River Cruise!!! Where will you go next year???
