Your Vacation Dreams Deserve More Than Midnight Google Searches.
That vacation you keep researching at 12 am? Let's actually make it happen!
Hi, I’m Laina!
I am a professional travel advisor with over 5 years of hands-on vacation planning experience, specializing in unforgettable family getaways!
As a mom and seasoned planner, I know just how overwhelming it can be to create a vacation that works for everyone, especially when time is limited and the options feel endless. That’s exactly where I come in.
What I Do
In a nutshell, handle the stuff draining your mental battery right now.
Planning a family vacation isn't one task - it's a million tiny microtasks. Where can I take my kids on Spring Break that won’t break my bank? Which Disney resort is the best for toddlers? Is Universal Express Pass is worth it for your family? Which cruise cabin won't make grandma seasick? If your teens will actually enjoy Epcot? When is the best time to visit Disneyland? The list goes on and on and every single one of those decisions is taking up space in your brain.
The open tabs. The 5-hour long Youtube playlist and Tiktok saved posts. The "I'll figure it out later" list.
I close the planning loops so you can stop researching in circles and focus on the good stuff: daydreaming about your trip and deciding what to pack.
Decision Overload? Done.
I don't send you 47 resort options and leave it to you.
I ask the right questions, narrow it down to 2-3 perfect fits, and help you pick.
No analysis paralysis. No regret.
The "I'll Book It Tomorrow" List? Handled Today.
Those dining spots that book 60 days out at 6 am? The character breakfast your kid will talk about for years? The adult-only cruise dining while the kids are playing in the kids club that you and your spouse deserve? I'm setting alarms and securing them all.
The Research Rabbit Hole? Closed.
You don't need to watch 43 YouTube videos about Disneyland, Lightning Lanes or which cruise ship is the best for your family.
I already know the ins and outs and can create an itinerary that works for YOUR family (toddler naptime, teen preferences, grandma's pace - all of it).
Don’t Just Take my Word for it…
Hear from my Clients!
I had no clue where to start when I decided to plan a Disney cruise for my family but Laina made this process simple, easy, and smooth! The communication was always prompt and everything was organized well to take the pressure off. I found the emails leading up to our cruise most helpful so that we knew what to expect and didn’t forget anything. I would absolutely recommend Laina’s services in the future!

When we took our family of four to Disney World, eight years ago, we had no one there to give us tips and trick and help us navigate through the craziness of the trip. This time around, and one extra kid later, Laina was there every step of the way. I can't tell you how many small things we would have overlooked or how much more time we would have waisted had she not been there to guide us in the right direction.
Probably the most critical thing Laina helped us with was the night of Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. We unknowingly had booked a day at Magic Kingdom on the same day as the party. Had we not had her guidance and expertise at hand, not only would we have been out of pocket a lot of money, we probably wouldn't have made it even half way through the night! ;) She was able to suggest to us that we have a resort day and relax by the pool and then get to the park early for the party. I'm glad we took her advice because we were well rested and ready to party with Mickey and his friends!!
I would highly recommend Laina to anyone who is planning a trip to Disney in the near future. She helped us make this trip of a lifetime, to the happiest place on Earth, an absolutely MAGICAL one!

Thank you Laina for helping us create the most magical trip for our babies. We never imagined we’d be able to afford what we actually got. She helped us find the best deals keeping our budget in mind but also offered those hard-to-get upgrades so got a chance to stay in such a beautiful resort! She was very prompt in responding to any questions and concerns we had. She even jumped into our account and made our dinner reservations as she saw them become available which was very helpful. Her printable tips and suggestions were also very helpful. Oh AND she sent my son the cutest birthday package that was awaiting our arrival at the resort If you're looking for a top-notch travel advisor… Laina is your girl!

Laina was more than helpful she was super nice and caring too. She eased so much of my anxiety by being knowledgeable and easy to communicate with. Her guides were super easy to use and I have actually printed them out to post in my travel books because of how memorable they are I am definitely using her on my next Disney adventure, there's no question about it! She even checked in to make sure my flight arrived safely 💜 If you’ve found yourself wondering if you should utilize her services just do it! You won’t regret it!

Planning a family vacation can be overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be.
