A Look into Past Trips I Planned!

Every trip on this page started the same way: a mom with a picture in her head and a to-do list she didn't want. Here's what they came to me with, and what I designed instead.

JESSICA

Disney World with three kids and a Halloween party save

What She Came to Me With:

A Disney World trip for three kids at three different ages, tickets to Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, and a growing sense that the pieces didn't fit together.

What I Designed:

A trip built around all three kids' ages. And one save: they'd booked a Magic Kingdom day on the same date as the party. A huge mistake when everyone’s exhausted way before a late party night! I swapped it for a pool morning & a dining reservation so they walked in rested & fed.

In Her Words:

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!

ASHLEY

A first Disney cruise for a large group, multi-household family

What She Came to Me With:

Their first Disney cruise, multiple households traveling together, and no idea which sailing fit or who was supposed to book what.

What I Designed:

The right sailing for their multi-gen family, staterooms sorted, every reservation handled, and a countdown of emails leading up to sail day so they always knew what was coming next. Plus each household paid me directly, so nobody had to chase a sibling for money or know everyone's business.

In Her Words:

Laina made the entire planning experience seamless! We had a large group and she was able to work closely with us to arrange everything perfectly. Her communication was always prompt and we felt very at ease knowing she had our best interests at heart!

ANGELINA

A magical first-Disney trip with two little ones in tow!

What She Came to Me With:

A dream of a magical first Disney trip for their two little ones, without knowing what was actually possible for their family.

What I Designed:

A stay at a resort they didn't think was within reach, upgrades most families don't know to ask for, and dining locked in the moment windows opened, before they'd even thought about it.

In Her Words:

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!

Your family's trip belongs on this page.

It starts with one call. Tell me about your family and I design the rest.

More Trip Planning…

Mexico All-Inclusive for Large Family

What they came to me with: the myth that their large family couldn’t visit Mexico without compromising but they trusted I could make it happen for them

What I designed:

An all-inclusive resort stay with what mattered most: a lively resort with an actual swimmable beach, surrounded by nature, a kids-club that was actually entertaining and a room that slept 6 comfortably.

Paris with Toddlers

What they came to me with: Three families wanting Paris together, toddlers & grandparents on completely different schedules, a must-visit to Disneyland Paris, and an event on the calendar the whole trip had to work around.

What I designed: The neighborhood that made everything walkable with strollers & accessible for grandparents, an itinerary mapped around their event, a Disneyland Paris day, coordinated flights for both families, and excursions curated for little legs and nap windows.

An all-inclusive girls trip to Jamaica

What they came to me with: A girls trip that needed to feel like a real escape, not a guess. The group knew they wanted Jamaica and nothing else was decided.

What I designed: The right area of the island for the vibe they wanted, a resort matched to how they actually planned to spend their days, room configurations that worked for the group, and excursions worth leaving the pool for.

NYC at Christmas with little kids

What they came to me with: The classic NYC Christmas trip with little kids, and a feed full of influencers hyping every single event as a must-do.

What I designed: A hotel walkable to the Christmas sights, an itinerary built for little legs and early bedtimes, and the honest list: which Christmas experiences are worth it with small kids, and which ones are pure Instagram hype.
