Your Story Begins Here — and We’re Honored to Tell It

Every great adventure begins with a dream. Ours began in October 2008, with one husband and wife, a homeschooling family of six, and a shared passion for Disney that we could barely afford—but loved enough to learn everything we could. We made plenty of mistakes on those early trips, and we quickly realized young families everywhere were facing the same fears, questions, and financial hurdles. So we started Happily Ever After Travel to help families just like ours—single-income homes, brand-new parents, first-time vacationers—take magical trips without wasting money, time, or precious energy.

What started as a passion for helping parents plan brave “firsts”—
their first trip as adults,
their first visit to Walt Disney World with little ones,
their first time stepping into the big world together—
has grown into a trusted, nationwide travel agency serving travelers across every season of life.

Today, nearly 20 years later, more than 50 Story Writers (our name for advisors) now carry that same heart into every itinerary they design—whether you are saving pennies for a once-in-a-lifetime getaway or planning a VIP luxury escape with concierge-level pampering. We plan our client’s travel as if every vacation dollar were our own, because that is the standard we were built on—and still live by.

A Disney Legacy — And So Much More

We earned the distinction of Authorized Disney Vacation Planner in 2010, and proudly hold the 2025 Gold Earmark Designation—a recognition reserved for top-performing agencies nationwide.

There may be many imitators today who market Disney planning…but there is only one Happily Ever After Travel—the original agency founded with hands-on knowledge of the Disney parks, Disney Cruise Line, Disneyland Resort®, Aulani®, and every sprinkle of magic in between.

But while our roots are in Disney, our branches have grown far beyond the castle gates.

Because our guests asked— we expanded.

Because our repeat clients trusted us—we followed them around the world.

Today, our Story Writers expertly plan:

All-Inclusive Caribbean Vacations
Cruises to Alaska, Europe & the Caribbean
River Cruises & Guided European Experiences
Hawaii & U.S. National Adventures
Luxury Escapes & Bucket-List Journeys

Whether you’re stepping into your very first vacation or heading out on your twentieth with us…we are here for your story.

Why Families Choose Us (and Stay With Us)

Service First. Always.
We treat your vacation like it’s our own. Because to us, it matters deeply that you return home saying… “That was unforgettable.”

We Give You Back Your Time
Hours of research, scrolling blogs, stress over reservations, second-guessing choices—we take it all off your shoulders.

No Extra Fees — Exceptional Value
You never pay more to use us. Disney and most cruise lines compensate us, so you receive expert planning at no additional cost.

Real-World Expertise
Our StoryWriters complete ongoing destination training and personally visit the places we recommend. We have slept there. We have eaten there. We have walked those parks and beaches with strollers in tow—and teenagers, too.

The Heart Behind the Magic

We are caregivers, problem-solvers, cheerleaders, number-crunchers, travel researchers, and memory-makers.
We help you overcome fear, dream past your budget, find creative ways to say “yes,” and walk beside you from quote to homecoming.

Most of all, we believe travel changes families, and your story deserves to be written beautifully
