My Story
Hi, I’m Susan, your preferred Disney and Universal travel agent serving Chesapeake and Virginia Beach, Virginia, specializing in expertly planned vacations to Walt Disney World, Disneyland Resort, and Universal Orlando Resort, along with Adventures by Disney and Disney Cruise Line vacations.
My love for Disney started in childhood and has grown into a lifelong passion. Even after more than 75 visits, I still can’t walk into Magic Kingdom without that first glimpse of Cinderella Castle taking my breath away. It’s not just beautiful. It represents years of unforgettable memories made with family and friends.
Some of those memories are especially meaningful. When my children were young, it seemed like every vacation came with at least one sick child. On one trip, our youngest, just four years old, ended up with strep throat and needed a doctor visit. When we returned to our room later that day, there was a stuffed Mickey waiting on the bed with a handwritten note wishing him a speedy recovery so he could come back to the park and see him. That small act of magic meant everything to our son, and it turned my husband and me into lifelong Disney fans.
Our connection to Universal runs just as deep. We were visiting Universal Studios Florida in August of 1992 as Hurricane Andrew was approaching Florida, one of the most devastating storms to ever make landfall. Many families in the park that day had evacuated coastal areas and didn’t know what they would return home to. And yet, there was this shared feeling of wanting to hold onto one more day of joy. The Universal team showed such genuine kindness and care to every guest during an incredibly uncertain time. It’s something we have never forgotten.
We’ve watched Universal grow from those early days into an incredible destination, now home to multiple theme parks, immersive worlds like The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, and one of the best water parks I’ve ever experienced.
These real-life experiences are why I’m so passionate about what I do.
I specialize in creating seamless, stress-free vacations for families and couples who want all the magic without the overwhelm.
From choosing the perfect resort or cruise to securing dining, navigating park strategies, and planning for special events, I handle every detail so you can focus on what matters most: making unforgettable memories.
As your preferred and certified Disney and Universal travel specialist, I stay on top of the latest updates, promotions, and insider tips—including firsthand experience at new offerings like Disney’s Polynesian Island Tower.
Whether you're planning your first visit or your fiftieth, as your preferred travel agent, my goal is simple: to design a personalized Disney or Universal vacation that feels effortless, exciting, and truly magical from start to finish.
Let’s make your next Disney or Universal vacation your best one yet!
