Sitting at breakfast with my almost 6 year old daughter, I asked her to think about Disney and what her favorite memory is from all the trips she's been on. She looked at me with a BIG smile, and said the roller coaster with the dog!

Awesome experience at the Food and Wine Festival

Booking our trip to Walt Disney World for the Food and Wine Festival was so easy and painless. Katie made sure all of our accommodations were perfect. Our savannah view at Animal Kingdom Lodge was amazing, and all of food and wine recommendations Katie made at Epcot made the experience all the more enjoyable. I would recommend Katie for all of my future Disney travels!
