“What about naps?”

Those three words changed the way I plan Disney vacations forever.
When I planned my wife’s very first Disney trip, I approached it the only way I knew how. My family had always been a “park open to park close” family, so I spent months building what I thought was the perfect itinerary.

I thought I had every detail planned, including dining reservations and special experiences. When we arrived, I proudly revealed the plan. She smiled, looked it over, and asked one simple question:
“What about naps?”

It still makes me laugh today (and maybe wince just a little), but it also taught me one of the most valuable lessons I’ve learned as a travel planner.

There isn’t one perfect Disney vacation. There is only the right Disney vacation for your family.

That lesson has shaped the way I approach every trip I help plan.
Disney has been part of my family’s story for generations. My mom first visited Disneyland in the 1960s, and my grandmother began a tradition of taking each grandchild on their first Disneyland trip at age seven. As the oldest grandchild, I was fortunate to experience not only my own special trip but many of my cousins’ first visits. Those vacations became more than family trips—they became family traditions.

That love for Disney stayed with me into adulthood and eventually became part of my own family’s story—from proposing to my wife at Walt Disney World, where her engagement ring was presented in a glass slipper during dinner just as the Magic Kingdom fireworks began, to experiencing Disney all over again through our children.
Watching my daughter meet her favorite Disney princesses and Marvel characters, hearing my son count down the days until he can meet Lightning McQueen, and seeing my mom create those same memories with her grandchildren reminds me why Disney has remained such a meaningful part of our family’s story.

One of the things I’ve learned is that most families don’t need more information—they need someone who takes the time to understand what matters most to them. 

Once I understand your family, we can create the vacation that’s right for you.

Planning a Disney vacation doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. Between choosing the right resort, understanding Lightning Lanes, making dining reservations, staying within budget, arranging transportation, and sorting through countless online opinions, it’s easy to feel like you have to become a Disney expert before you even arrive.

You don’t. That’s what I’m here for.

Every family is different. Some are traveling with toddlers. Others are celebrating a milestone, bringing grandparents, or planning around a budget.

That’s why I enjoy uncovering the little things that matter. Those are often the details that transform a good vacation into an unforgettable one.

Professionally, I’ve built my career around understanding people, asking thoughtful questions, and helping others navigate important decisions with confidence. I bring that same personalized approach to every vacation I plan.

Rather than starting with an itinerary, I start by getting to know your family—what excites you, what might create stress, and what matters most to you.  From there, we build a vacation that reflects your priorities, allowing you to spend less time worrying about logistics and more time making memories together.

Whether you’re planning your very first Disney vacation or continuing a family tradition of your own, I’d be honored to take the time to understand what matters most to your family and help you create memories you’ll treasure for generations.
