I was a late bloomer when it comes to Harry Potter.  I wanted to read the books before I watched all the movies.  When Covid hit, this was my goal!  I completed the books and took a trip to the parks right after re-opening and fell in love!


 


I have been many times since and have completed an Agent Education Program to make sure I can provide my clients with the best service!

Awesome experience at the Food and Wine Festival
Booking our trip to Walt Disney World for the Food and Wine Festival was so easy and painless. Katie made sure all of our accommodations were perfect. Our savannah view at Animal Kingdom Lodge was amazing, and all of food and wine recommendations Katie made at Epcot made the experience all the more enjoyable. I would recommend Katie for all of my future Disney travels!
