Disney
Walt Disney World & Disneyland
Resort choice, ticket structure, the 60-day dining window, Lightning Lane strategy and a day-by-day plan your family can actually follow.
Dreamers Do Travels
Complimentary booking services, support, and guidance for Disney, Universal, and cruise vacations.
Based in Pittsburgh, PA — planning magical trips for families everywhere.
What I plan
A deliberately narrow list. The value in this job comes from knowing a few places thoroughly rather than booking everything adequately.
Disney
Resort choice, ticket structure, the 60-day dining window, Lightning Lane strategy and a day-by-day plan your family can actually follow.
Universal
Three parks now, not two — which changes the hotel, the Express Pass math and how many days you actually need. Most advice online predates Epic Universe.
Cruises
Ship, itinerary, stateroom down to the cabin number, placeholders and port days — the trip where booking decisions are hardest to undo.
From the blog
The questions families actually ask me — including the ones where the honest answer is "you don't need to spend that."
Cruises
How the deposit, the validity window and the discount actually work, and how to transfer one to an agent before the window closes.
How it works
Yes — and here's exactly where the money comes from, what the same price buys you, and the honest catch worth knowing about.
Good to know
How complimentary planning actually works, where my incentives sit, and the three questions worth asking any travel agent before you commit.
How it works
No cost at any stage, and nothing gets booked without your say-so.
Dates, party size, rough budget, and what your family actually wants out of it. A few sentences is enough to start.
Usually two or three routes with real prices, and a recommendation with the reasoning attached. We adjust until it fits.
Your deposit goes straight to Disney, Universal or the cruise line. I keep watching for promotions that could reprice your trip afterwards.
Dining, park order and a day-by-day itinerary before you travel — plus my number to text while you're there.
Good to know
The questions families ask me most before we start planning.
Nothing. My planning services are completely complimentary — I'm paid a commission by Disney, Universal, and the cruise lines, so you pay the same price you would booking directly, with all of the planning help included.
No. Your vacation costs exactly the same as if you booked it yourself, and I'll always apply any promotions or discounts the moment they're released.
Everything from choosing the right resort and tickets to dining reservations, Lightning Lane strategy, rope-drop plans, and day-by-day itineraries — plus support before and during your trip.
Often, yes. If you booked directly with Disney within the last 30 days, I can usually transfer the reservation to me at no cost to you, then handle the rest of the planning from there.
Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Universal Orlando, and cruises — including Disney Cruise Line. If your family is dreaming of it, I can help plan it.
For Disney, six to twelve months is ideal — popular resorts and dining reservations book up fast. But it's never too late to ask; I'll make the most of whatever time we have.
