About Amy

Hello and welcome to my little space on the internet! I’d love to tell you about myself and hope you feel right at home. My name is Amy and I best identify as a wife, mom of 4 (hanging on by a thread most days), animal lover, and volunteer, with a very dry sense of humor and a deep rooted love for Disney World. I grew up in Dallas and have lived in Fort Worth for the past 20 years. I fell in love with Fort Worth during my time at TCU and haven’t left since.

I left the corporate world 10+ years ago to stay home with my kids. It’s amazing how quickly those years have passed, but I’ve found myself growing as a person and doing things I never thought I would (or could!) during this time…like becoming a travel agent! The days are long and the years short, but to fill my days I found myself volunteering at my children’s pre-school. This led into being the Parents Club President at pre-school, then a PTA Board Member in elementary school for 4 years, and ultimately serving as PTA President for 2 years. I’ve met and befriended so many wonderful people in my PTA journey that I never would have known on a personal level otherwise. I hope to do the same as a travel agent while continuing to serve people in a genuine way that fills my tank.

This geodesic sphere which houses the ride, has been the most symbolic and iconic landmark of Epcot since 1982 when the park opened.

I am a travel agent specializing in Disney, Universal, Cruise, and All-Inclusive vacations, but I am certainly not limited to those vacation categories. I am eager to help plan your next vacation, wherever that may be, and strive to be a travel agent that people trust and truly enjoy working with. I am organized and an avid learner, and if I don’t know the answer to your questions you can trust that I’ll find out. I know travel can be expensive, especially with large families like mine, and I will search for the best deal on my client’s behalf. Thank you for taking the time to learn a little bit about me and I can’t wait to meet you and work on planning your perfect vacation together!

Your favorite place to travel:

As cliché as it might sound, my absolute favorite place to travel is Walt Disney World. I was just a toddler when my family first took me to Disney World, and that was just the beginning. I’ve been there over 10 times and would go every single year if I could! I also love a good, relaxing beach vacation and my absolute favorite city in the U.S. is New York City.

The best thing you've ever eaten on vacation:

I traveled to the island of Anguilla with my parents when I was in high school and I will never forget eating the most delicious lobster at a very basic island joint called Smitty’s.

The best part about being a Travel Advisor:

The best part of being a Professional Travel Planner is helping others and taking the stress of vacation planning off the client so they can truly enjoy their time away. This is one of the things that first drew me to this job, and I truly hope to build long-lasting relationships with clients who become friends and trust me to plan their perfect vacations, wherever that may be.
