Tricia
Our favorite resort is Disney’s Polynesian Resort. We love the tropical feel and find it to be a romantic resort – even with kids along for the ride! We love the views from the Polynesian. There is nothing like swimming in the pool and having the perfect view of the Magic Kingdom.
Since we travel to the Walt Disney World® Resort so much, we try and do something “new to us” every trip. Be it eating in different restaurant, a new snack or a dinner show – there’s always something “new” for us to do. And since we’re always doing something “new”, we always have fresh and exciting tips for you, our clients, to experience, whether this is your first trip to the Walt Disney World® Resort or your 100th!
Dawn
In May 2004, I began designing vacations for guests, specializing in vacations to Walt Disney World, Disney Cruise Line, Disneyland and Adventures by Disney. In June 2011, I joined Tricia and helped to build and co-own Castle Dreams Travel, who also at the time only specialized and sold vacations to Disney Destinations but has since become a full service travel agency selling vacations to every corner of the planet. I have also worked as a Behavior Specialist and Parent Trainer for people living with Autism. My unique professional experience does intermix when I helps families with children or adults plan a Disney destination vacation. My nearly 20 years’ experience helping those with Autism helps me create Disney vacation memories that have far surpassed anyone’s expectations. I also equip those traveling with Autism travel tips as well as anything the family might need to help prepare for their trip (i.e.: social stories, reinforcement systems).
When I travel with my family we always try something new- be it a resort, place to eat, or experience. We travel to a Disney Destination as a family at least once a year and I have been very lucky to sail onboard Disney Cruise Line on over a dozen different sailings, visited Disney's Aulani Resort and Spa, and have taken 3 very different Adventure by Disney vacations as well as multiple visits to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, and Universal Orlando Resort. I have also been fortunate enough to sail on Princess Cruise Line, Norwegian Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean Cruise Line, and Celebrity Cruise Line.To read more about some of my travel adventures, follow along at Whats Up WIth The Mouse.

Becky
My name is Becky and I’m based in the Pennsylvania area. I have an annual pass and travel to Disney World multiple times a year – I’ve also been to Disneyland and Disneyland Paris! I love discovering new Disney magic every trip I take. While I love all that the theme parks have to offer, I have a soft spot in my heart for the Animal Kingdom, and the Animal Kingdom Lodge is my favorite resort to stay at. Where else can you see safari animals from your balcony? I also love to go to Disney for the RunDisney events – I’ve completed the Disney full marathon and many half marathons and 10ks. I have been working as a travel planner since 2015 and I also blog about all things Disney over at the blog Disney in your Day(www.disneyinyourday.com).

I am always struck by the words that greet every guest as they enter Magic Kingdom and Disneyland “Here you leave Today and enter the world of Yesterday, Tomorrow and Fantasy” –Walt Disney
For my family and I Disney is a special place. It is our family time and a time my husband and I can leave the world outside and be kids again. I still get choked up when I see the castle or see Cinderella (she is my favorite princess) I can’t help but smile when I see my sons face when he hugs Woody or Buzz.
My goal is to provide my clients with all the makings of a “Magical” vacation. Have dinner with Mickey, become a Princess for the day, go on a Pirate adventure, take a trip into another galaxy, take a boat ride to watch the fireworks, go on a morning safari, enter the town of Radiator Springs! Whatever you wish. I spend countless hours putting together Disney vacations for my family. Now I want to do that for you! Disney is a place for both young and old. It is a place of Wishes, Dreams and Pixie Dust. Contact me today to start your magical journey.
Jennifer Ford
I’ve been traveling to Disney since I was a small child. When I walk into a Disney park, I feel a transformation, a magical happy feeling that I don’t feel anywhere else. My everyday worries disappear and I am transported into a different world. As a travel agent, I want to help my clients feel and experience Disney in a way that is special, unforgettable and magical! Last year, I traveled to WDW as a paraprofessional/chaperone to 7 young adults with intellectual disabilities. It was an amazing experience, and what I enjoyed most was seeing the magic of Disney through their eyes.
Planning a Disney trip is not for the faint of heart, but if done right, I can help my clients experience the magical world that is Disney. When I’m not immersing myself in all things Disney, I enjoy scrapbooking, running, horseback riding and golf. I’m married and have two teenage boys. Email me by clicking the link.

Her certifications include AM Resorts Master Agent, Certified Sandals Specialist, Royal Caribbean Cruise Line Master of Adventure, and Universal Orlando Resort Specialist.

Karen
I am a project manager, who lives by a plan. Nothing makes me happier than a detailed spreadsheet of what has to be done when. So I combined that with my love of Disney and take great joy in preparing, recommending and planning a families magical trip. I love making dining reservations and making fast passes because I am very competitive and when I get the ride or the character dining experience it makes me feel accomplished.
Though I went to Disney once as a child, it was not until I started taking my daughter at age 4 that I fell in love with the magic of being in the parks. She is now 14 and we have gone at least twice a year for the past 10 years. I love our mother daughter time and hope she wants to take a trip with me even through college. I have stayed at many of the resorts from moderate to deluxe and I like to pass along tips and tricks that I have learned along the way. I look forward to working with you on your next Disney vacation.

"From start to finish I am just a phone call, email or text away. With me you are getting someone on the other end who knows you and your vacation better than any .com site or 1-800 number.
