about me
I believe your vacation should feel exciting long before you ever leave home.
I don't believe in handing you a giant list of options and saying, “Good luck!”
I get to know your family, what matters to you, where you're willing to splurge and what you couldn't care less about. Then I use my experience to help you make the decisions that actually matter.
And yes, I have opinions. Ask me about Club Level, resort locations or Disney Cruise Line and I'll happily tell you what I'd do.
Memories That Last a Lifetime.
DISNEY, UNIVERSAL STUDIOS, & FAMILY VACATIONS
"Whatever you do, do it well. Do it so well that when people see you do it, they will want to come back and see you do it again, and they will want to bring others and show them how well you do what you do."
Walt Disney
Planning a Disney or Universal vacation shouldn't feel like a part-time job.
You've got enough on your plate between work, the kids' schedules, and everything else life throws at you. The LAST thing you need is to spend your evenings drowning in research, trying to decode Lightning Lane strategies, or refreshing dining reservation pages at 6am.
That's exactly why I'm here.
I take the overwhelm off your plate, get to know what matters to your family and use my experience to make thoughtful recommendations - not just hand you a list of options and wish you luck.
I'll help you figure out where to spend your time, where to spend your money and what you can skip, so you can feel confident that you've planned a vacation that's right for your family.
From our first conversation to the moment you come home, I'm here to make the process easier - and a whole lot more fun.
Sound good? Let's dive into what working together looks like! ✨
my
why
I'm Joy, and I've been helping families plan incredible vacations for more than a decade. Disney is my specialty, but I also love helping families discover Universal, Disney Cruise Line, Sandals and Beaches.
I'm a Disney College of Knowledge graduate, IATA certified, and a Sandals & Beaches specialist - which is a fancy way of saying I really know my stuff.
I'm based in Nashville, Tennessee, but I plan vacations for families all over the country. And while I love the magic of these destinations, what I really love is figuring out how to make them work for your family.
Because what works beautifully for one family might be completely wrong for another.
My favorite thing? When a client comes back and says it was the best trip of their lives.
That never, ever gets old.
