Travel has always been part of my life. I grew up going on cross-country road trips from my hometown in Houston, Texas. Every few years, my parents would surprise my sister and me with a stop at Walt Disney World in Florida or Disneyland Park in California, where my love for Disney began. My love of Disney is a constant, but I truly appreciate worldwide travel and love hopping the pond to see other countries and cultures outside of the United States!
These days, I enjoy traveling with my husband of 25+ years and our three kids. During the school year, we jet off just the two of us or with our close friends who also love to travel.
I enjoy traveling all over the world, be it on land, sea, ocean, or river, researching all the best tour guides, hotels, and accommodations (while having fun too!). Along with all Disney destinations, my expertise includes most major ocean and river cruise lines, all-inclusive resorts, and private and group tours. Whether a couple, extended family, or group of friends, I have experience planning it all and am confident that together we can make your journey unforgettable. I take pride in tailoring each itinerary to your unique interests and travel style—ensuring seamless experiences, insider tips, and magical moments from start to finish. Let me handle the details so you can focus on the joy of discovering new places and making lifelong memories. Let’s create your next great adventure!
It all starts with a dream! Share your dream and let’s start working to make that dream a reality!
Besides a love of all Disney destinations, Universal Orlando, and cruise ships, some of my other favorite things are:
- Adventures by Disney vacations – it’s so much more than you can imagine!
- European cruises- ocean and river cruises are the best way to see harder to get to locations!
- A perfectly cooked steak and a glass of wine
- Prosecco on a hotel balcony at sunset
- Watching my children become world travelers
- Reading
- Planning my next vacation!

Elizabeth
The pre-planning we were able to do with Bridget's guidance was invaluable to the enjoyment of our stay. I would strongly recommend Bridget to other travelers to Walt Disney World!
Larry
It was the first time I've traveled to Disney in over 15 years and the first time with my kids. Without Bridget's guidance in all things Disney, we would have missed out on many of the amazing adventures we had using the tips and tricks she shared with me. We had a fabulous vacation thanks to Bridget!!!
