Hi, I’m Bethany -Your Family’s Vacation Planning Partner

Travel advisor, memory-maker, and mom who knows firsthand how meaningful — and overwhelming — family vacations can be.

Bethany was very helpful in booking our Disney cruise. She knew where on the ship was best and what side of the ship had the best views etc. She also sent a lot of useful information leading up to the cruise. I wish we would have booked our initial WDW trip with her!

How This All Started

There was a time when I was the one staying up late researching family vacations — comparing resorts, reading reviews, watching videos, and hoping I wasn’t missing something important.

Because when you’re planning a big trip for your kids… it’s not just a vacation.

It’s the countdown they talk about for months.
The memories they’ll bring up for years.
The photos you’ll look back on long after they’ve grown.

And the pressure to “get it right” can feel overwhelming.

Between work, school schedules, activities, and everyday life — finding the time to plan it all thoughtfully felt like a second job.

That experience is exactly what led me here.

What I Help Families Plan

Every Family Vacations Differently

Today, I help busy families plan Disney vacations, Universal trips, cruises, and all-inclusive getaways — handling the details, strategy, and logistics so parents can stay present for the moments that matter most.

Because anyone can book a trip online…

But knowing:

Which resort actually fits your family
Which ship has the best kids programs
How to avoid wasting hours in lines
What experiences are truly worth the cost
And how to time everything just right

That’s where expert planning makes all the difference.

As a mom myself, I plan every vacation through the lens of a parent — not just a traveler.

I understand the mental load you’re carrying before you even pack the suitcases.

I know what it’s like to want the trip to feel magical… but also manageable.

My goal is to remove the stress from the planning process so your vacation feels intentional, smooth, and genuinely enjoyable for your entire family — not just the kids.

Over the years, I’ve helped hundreds of families plan unforgettable vacations — from first-time Disney trips to milestone cruises and once-in-a-lifetime getaways.

I regularly travel to the destinations I plan so I can offer firsthand insight, updated recommendations, and real-world tips you won’t find in a Google search.

I also maintain active certifications with leading travel brands and industry organizations, ensuring my clients receive expert guidance every step of the way.

If you’re looking for more than just someone to “book a trip” — and want a partner who will guide you, advocate for you, and help you create meaningful family memories…

I’d love to help you plan your next vacation.

Plan My Vacation Now

No two vacations I plan are ever the same

I'm the last person to know how to schedule a Disney trip, and even my wife only knew so much. Bethany was a wonderful consultant and assisted every step of the way to ensure my family had an amazing time on our trip. From all the basics of how to get there and what resorts and rooms to choose to how to maximize our days at the parks and attractions, she was truly invaluable to our planning. We're so grateful for her help! We would strongly recommend her to anyone looking to plan a great trip without the hassle of all the research on the front end. Thank you, Bethany!!
