We believe travel
brings families closer together
Vacation is where families really thrive, kids grow to love learning, and our best memories are made… But it shouldn’t come at the expense of mom’s (or dad’s) sanity.
Our mission is to make it as easy as possible for families to travel together.
We LOVE to travel and we want YOU to love it too! It’s why we spend so much time in the beginning, learning about what you envision for your dream trip so we can help make it happen.
Hi, I’m Christina Vieira
When I was a kid, I visited EPCOT. Amazed by the different cultures, I promptly added dozens of countries to my bucket list, feeding a travel bug that has never left. Since then, I’ve helped hundreds of families take the same kind of magical vacation—whether to Disney World, a tropical paradise, or some of the world’s oldest cultures.
Beyond the satisfaction of helping busy moms like myself plan perfect vacations where they can be totally present, I love that I get to help spark that same sense of wanderlust that I felt so long ago at the ‘Most Magical Place on Earth’ in other young world travelers.

Meet the Team
Walt Disney World EXPERT
Ever since Megan was a kid, she has been enchanted by the idea of exploring far-off places beyond the borders of her rural hometown, often finding inspiration in the magical worlds of her favorite movies. Known as the go-to person for event planning and travel advice, especially when it comes to Disney destinations, she has always had a knack for making dreams come true.
Her passion for travel was sparked by her adventurous aunt, whose tales of globe-trotting sparked her own wanderlust. However, it was witnessing the sheer joy and wonder of Disney through her children's eyes that truly ignited her calling. She knew then that she wanted to share that same magic with other families, creating unforgettable memories that would last a lifetime.
Specializing in Disney destinations, she prides herself on crafting personalized experiences that cater to every member of the family, ensuring that each moment is cherished and unforgettable. Through her expertise, families embark on journeys filled with laughter, adventure, and the promise of lifelong memories, sparking inspiration in the hearts of both young and old alike.
Kristen Bird
Walt Disney World & Disney Cruise Line Expert
As a mother to two young girls, Kristen values travel for the way it exposes them to different cultures and helps them become more well-rounded, empathetic individuals. She lives for the memory-making too—and as a travel planner, she loves to craft itineraries that perfectly match a family’s personality!
In college, Kristen was able to travel to NYC, Chicago, Spain, and Portugal, and the rest is history: she happily became the go-to trip planner for friends and family, making it official by joining Showcase the World Travel last year.
If Kristen could offer parents one piece of travel advice it would be to relax, because the best vacation memories aren’t the “picture perfect” ones… they’re the little things like swimming together in the ocean or having ice cream for breakfast!

Dawn’s key advice to families is to travel as if you will return to a destination. Trying to rush and fit everything in can make you miss the magical moments of travel.
