$50/hour · 1-hour minimum · Virtual or in-person sessions
Why Work With Me?
Planning Disney can feel overwhelming. I keep up with everything happening at Disney so you don’t have to. I've helped families optimize their Disney vacations for years. Don't spend weeks researching what you and I can accomplish in an hour.
Traditional Disney travel agents are compensated by Disney but as a result you must book your hotels and tickets through them, which is not always the cheapest or best option for your family. And most are not incentivized to spend time helping you plan details beyond booking.
That’s where I come in. I can point you to other booking options that might be better for you, and I am here to help you build a comprehensive plan that fits your priorities, pace, and budget.

The Dudley Family
“I don't think there is anybody in the world who knows more about Disney than Erin. Her passion for this is so clear. One hour of game planning with Erin beats 4 weeks of time spent on websites and ChatGPT any day. It's so worth it.”
