Disney Planning
Discover Jen's Disney Planning ServicesSeeing the balloons, smelling the bakery confections, hearing the happiness, and catching my first glimpse of the Castle – Cinderella’s magical and oh so glorious Castle where we were heading to dine with the Princesses on my very first night at Disney.
I'm so excited that you are thinking Disney!
In that first moment that I stepped into Magic Kingdom in 2013 as a 30-year-old mom with my children ages 4 and 5, I felt like a carefree child believing in magic – and the best part was that I did it right beside my own children. My family fell in love with Disney on that first trip, and we have made it at least once a year since. We still get a thrill of magic each time we pass through the gate – Walt Disney World: Where Dreams Come True – signifying that we have left the real world behind.
I began my journey as a travel advisor with a Disney-focused agency, and while I have grown well beyond my beginnings to more comprehensive travel advising, I have a heart for all things Disney. As a graduate of the College of Disney Knowledge program, frequent Disney traveler, Disney Vacation Club member, D23 Member, and annual passholder – I stay current on everything Disney!
Through the careful planning of my own family vacations, I’ve learned and experimented with different planning styles, park flows, and trip goals to make each of our visits unique. It is always my pleasure to extend my love of Disney planning from mine to your family.
Jen’s Signature Disney Planning
Steps to Crafting Your Dream Disney Trip
Dreaming Disney Consultation
Our goal will be to identify your family’s travel personality, general Disney touring goals, and financial considerations to lay the foundation for the first big decisions of selecting a resort hotel.
With 31 different resort options on the Walt Disney World Resort property alone, it’s hard to figure out what is best for your needs. Having stayed at 25 of them personally and having professionally toured the rest, I can help pair you to the best fit. Each of these resorts has a distinct personality and different benefits for various travel goals and styles.
After our initial consultation, you’ll be presented with a personalized proposal portfolio for my top recommended resorts for your trip, along with additional package inclusions of tickets and dining plan options (when available).
We can schedule a follow-up quote consultation to address any questions, make additional recommendations as needed, and further tailor package components.
We can do this via phone conversation, email, Zoom, or in-person.
Booking Your Dream Disney Trip
Once selecting the best Disney resort for your family’s needs, I will handle the details of confirming your reservation while ensuring you are getting the best possible rate for your vacation. From this point on, I will manage the various deadlines and booking dates that are very important for planning the perfect Disney trip.
Rate Monitoring: After the initial booking, I continue monitoring for additional discount offers that Disney releases and apply them to eligible bookings.
Customizing Your Disney Trip
Throughout the customization process, you’ll be guided through the many Disney planning layers with consulting and advising about dining and touring, including attractions, shows, dining, and extra experiences.

DINING CONSULTATION
Together, we address Disney dining questions regarding taste preferences, allergies, restaurant styles, and character experiences. You will decide whether you wish to secure your own dining reservations or if you would like me to handle the details. As your advisor, I am more than happy to book reservations on your behalf.
TOURING CONSULTATION
Together, we address transportation, theme parks, attractions, events, tours, and all the magical extras. We set overall daily plans and identify Genie+ priorities (when applicable). You decide if you would like to plan any or all aspects of your trip or if you would like me to act as a concierge to handle all the details. I am happy to create detailed daily itineraries that maximize your time in the parks set to your family’s preferred pacing.
