“ONE OF THE MANY THINGS COVID-19 DISRUPTED WAS OUR LONG-AWAITED DISNEY TRIP. CHRISTINA MADE WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A STRESSFUL AND DISAPPOINTING REBOOKING PROCESS INTO A POSITIVE THING, AND WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO DISNEY EVEN MORE NOW!”

“HIS WAS OUR FIRST DISNEY TRIP WITH THE KIDS, AND I CAN’T IMAGINE WHAT THE EXPERIENCE WOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE HAD WE NOT BOOKED THROUGH CHRISTINA AND SHOWCASE THE WORLD TRAVEL! THE PRE-TRIP PLANNING, DAY BY DAY ITINERARY, DINNER RESERVATIONS, RECOMMENDATIONS AND TIPS WERE BEYOND HELPFUL AND RELIEVED SO MUCH OF THAT INEVITABLE DISNEY ANXIETY :). WE HAD A WONDERFUL TIME! WE WILL ABSOLUTELY WORK WITH CHRISTINA AGAIN, CAN’T RECOMMEND HER ENOUGH!”

“Christina helped book and coordinate my family’s trip to Disney World during Christmas time this last year. It was my granddaughter’s first trip, and my first having to worry about a baby since my own kids! She was nothing short of fantastic through all the planning. She was very attentive to all our needs, especially my daughter and granddaughters’. She took the time to highlight all the pros and cons of the varying resort levels, types of rooms, and locations in relation to parks we were interested most in visiting for individual resorts. She even helped us make a change to the reservation on our way to the airport! We tried calling Disney directly to add my son to our Magical Express reservation (he was originally going to be picked up by friends) but after about 10  minutes of automated messages we hung up. I decided to call Christina and within minutes she added him to the list! What could have turned into a big mess to start out our trip, was quickly averted. 

Christina is there to help you from the moment you begin your planning with her until you walk into your door back home following your vacation. She is friendly, energetic and has so many awesome insider tips about traveling with families! I would and have recommended her to anybody looking to plan a vacation.”

“Planning a vacation for an extended family who all live in different states can be extremely difficult. We all were set on a Disney World vacation but didn’t even know where to begin with our multigenerational family (grandparents to grandkids)! We were so lucky to get to work with Christina who helped make our vacation planning a breeze. Although we had a done a ton of our own research, she was able to provide specific tips and insider information on the best places to stay, eat, and what plans to get that we couldn’t find anywhere else. Booking reservations for 8 people of various ages and heights can get confusing but Christina handled every detail! She was able to get us every dining reservation we wanted (and we wanted some hard to get ones)! We didn’t have to worry about anything, and it didn’t cost us anything additional. To get personalized continuous service made our vacation a dream come true. We truly could not have done it without Christina and it was the best vacation of our lives. She is one of a kind and an invaluable resource for all your vacation planning needs.”

“I had never fully understood the benefits of using a travel agent in the past. I was always a savvy and detailed vacation planner for my trips but then….CUE BABY! All that extra time devoted to such details when planning a trip was now dedicated to playing, cleaning, feeding… So I reached out to Christina and I will NEVER regret it! She has now helped me plan multiple vacations… all amazing!  She has so many recommendations and insider tips for traveling with families. She is always willing to take into consideration special requests from all my family members. On our trip to Ireland, my mother-in-law wished to spend one night in a castle. Christina did not disappoint 🙂 She found the most spectacular castle with activities for us all. We all agreed it was the greatest highlight of our trip! 

Christina is also fantastic at problem solving. Less than a week prior to leaving for our family trip to Ireland, the airline let us know that our our flights were cancelled due to the Max 8 recall. Our only options the airline gave us were to cut our trip short by 2 days or add 2 days on. Additionally, we would be flying into and out of different locations than initially planned altogether. It was a mess! I think we would have cancelled our trip due to the overwhelming amount of reorganizing and planning we would have had to put into it ourselves. However, Christina was able to negotiate prices, rearrange and even add accommodations for all of us.  She literally saved our trip and my sanity!! 

Christina is prompt, efficient, and passionate about travel planning. She is very considerate to her clients’ wants and needs AND she offers great suggestions to add a little extra magic! I HIGHLY recommend Christina to anyone and everyone looking to plan their next family vacation.”
