Get My Personalized PlanI've been a Disney fan since I was a child — more trips than I can count — and somewhere along the way, planning vacations stopped being a task and became a passion.
Whether I'm researching the newest Galaxy's Edge experiences, comparing dining at EPCOT, scouting must-do attractions at Universal, or fine-tuning a Royal Caribbean itinerary, I genuinely love the planning process. Eventually, friends and family started asking me to plan their trips — and Magic & Miracles Travel was born.
I've personally sailed on six-plus Royal Caribbean cruises and follow Disney and theme park news daily. When I recommend something to a client, it's because I've either experienced it myself or know it inside and out.

I craft a custom itinerary with resorts, dining, and experiences tailored to your family.
I handle the bookings, reservations, and details — you focus on making memories.
Laura made our first Disney trip with three kids actually feel relaxing. She thought of things we never would have — the dining reservations alone saved us hours.
We've used Laura for two cruises now. She listens, she remembers what we liked, and she finds details that no booking site ever surfaces. Worth her weight in pixie dust.
From the questionnaire to the day we boarded, every step was easy. Laura responds quickly, knows the parks inside-out, and genuinely cares.

Not at all. My services are completely free to you — I'm paid a commission directly by Disney, the cruise lines, and resort partners. You pay the same price you would booking it yourself, and you get my expertise, planning, and personal advocacy at no additional cost.
Travel happens. I'll walk you through cancellation policies upfront so there are no surprises, and I always recommend travel insurance for unexpected situations. If something does come up, I handle the rebooking or cancellation calls so you don't have to sit on hold.
Yes. Most Disney and cruise vacations only require a small deposit at booking, with the balance due closer to your travel date. I'll set up a payment schedule that works for you and send friendly reminders so nothing slips through the cracks.
Earlier is almost always better. Disney and the cruise lines reward early bookings with the best room availability, dining options, and pricing. Ideally 9โ12 months out for Disney, 6โ12 months for most cruises — but I'll happily plan a last-minute trip if that's where you are.
I monitor every booking for price drops and promotions after you book. If a discount becomes available that applies to your trip, I'll automatically apply it on your behalf and let you know what you saved. You don't have to think about it.
Disney, Universal, and cruises are my specialties — but I plan all kinds of trips. If you're dreaming of a destination I haven't listed, just ask. As part of Main Street Agency and Fora, I have access to a wide network of partners and can help with most travel.
Twelve pages of insider tips I share with every new client — from the rookie mistakes to avoid to the dining reservations worth setting an alarm for. Drop your email and I'll send it right over.
