Specializing in Disney Destinations

I have been planning vacations to Walt Disney World Resort in Florida since 2005, and took my first official trip there in 2007. Since then I have completed the Walt Disney College Program as an Epcot Main Entrance Cast Member and made 11 additional trips, staying at nearly all of the on site Resort hotels and experiencing many special events at various times of the year. 


I have traveled to Disneyland Resort in California numerous times and have stayed at Disney's Paradise Pier Hotel and the Disneyland Hotel, as well as a number of Good Neighbor Hotels. I have sailed Disney Cruise Line twice, once on the Wonder and once on the Fantasy.. I can also book Aulani ~ A Disney Resort & Spa in Hawaii and any Adventures by Disney guided tour. 


Additionally I specialize in are Universal Orlando Resort, which I visited in 2019 and 2021, and Universal Studios Hollywood.


Finally, I am also proud to partner with several cruise lines. First: Royal Caribbean International, which I have sailed five times in 2022-2023. I am also certified to sell Norwegian Cruise Line and Carnival Cruise Line, both of which I am booked to sail in 2024. I have recently completed the four tiers of Virgin Voyages' First Mate Seacademy training and am pleased to add them to my repertoire as well, with my first sailing in 2024! I have also completed the MSC Masters program for MSC Cruises, and am set to sail on the MSC Seascape in 2025.


Due to my extensive history of traveling to Disney Destinations, I knew that joining a travel agency specializing in Disney was the right move for me, and I have been working with Love the Mouse Travel, LLC since June 2016. 


Disney Destinations are, of course, one of the most desired family vacations in the world, but I very much enjoy helping adult only parties plan their trips as well, since that is my personal travel group type. Disney is not just for kids!  I also have experience helping families who have a special needs individual plan the best vacation possible, as I have traveled with my younger brother who has a number of special needs. 


I take pride in customizing each of my client's vacations to their specific wish lists and can't wait to help you plan your trip of a lifetime!

We had a blast at Disney World
I took my son to Disney World last year for a much-needed one on one trip. There is very little planning on my part, thanks to Gretchen. She arranged flights hotel rooms park tickets and suggested dining for us. Next time we plan a trip we definitely will use her again it made all the difference in our experience!

Fun family Disney trip!
Gretchen planned a family trip to Disney World for me last June. She was wonderful! She assisted with every detail of planning it and has so much information to share. It was my (our) first COVID trip so that was another set of questions. She is a true Disney Guru! Gretchen was always available for questions and assistance with everything from Magic Bands to pre-check-in. She also helped me with Memory Maker when we returned. It is no longer needed but we had to use the virtual cue for Rise of the Resistance. Gretchen’s tips for getting in the cue were perfect and we all loved it! I would use Gretchen’s services again and would definitely recommend her to others.

One awesome cruise
I am very pleased to say Gretchen was very professional, and had all the answers to the many questions we had as a group. She made sure we had all the information that we needed and guided us through the whole process. I will surely recommend Gretchen to all my family and friends, she was very patient and helpful and I want to thank her for all her hard work.
