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 addition...

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!

Your Pacific Northwest Disneyland Expert

I first visited Disneyland in May 2014, staying at Disney's Paradise Pier Hotel in a concierge level Theme Park View room. Staying for six days, I really got to experience the little details throughout Disneyland Resort. I returned in September 2015 for a stay at Disneyland Hotel to attend Halloween Time at Disneyland and Mickey's Halloween Party (no longer running). In May 2018, I took a quick trip for Memorial Day weekend, staying at Best Western Stovall's Inn, a Good Neighbor Hotel.

Then in 2021-2022, I started my "year of Disneyland". I attended Touch of Disney before the reopening following COVID-19 in April 2021, and then Halloween Time at Disneyland Resort - including Oogie Boogie Bash at Disney California Adventure in September 2021, Holidays at Disneyland Resort in November 2021, Lunar New Year at Disney California Adventure and Sweetheart Nite at Disneyland Park in February 2022, Food & Wine Festival at Disney California Adventure in March/April 2022, and saw the return of Disney's Electrical Parade, World of Color, and the Disneyland Forever fireworks in August 2022. I have stayed at multiple Good Neighbor Hotels and had a second stay at Disney's Paradise Pier Hotel.

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!
