About Carolyn

I’ll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up,” as the song goes; travel keeps me staying young. With the magic of Disney or the Caribbean blue water that always restores my soul, the excitement of travel and the beauty in the world gives me memories that will last a lifetime. I am a wife with 3 children and 1 grandson, and I understand the ins and outs of planning a family vacation. Whether it’s a cruise or that “Once in a Lifetime” surprise stay at Disney World, I plan trips that cater to each member of the family, so that everyone’s experience is truly memorable. I love Disney all things Disney, I love them as much as I love to cruise, or travel to New York or just sit on a beach anywhere in the Caribbean. I have had the pleasure of sailing on several cruise lines and I love the advantage of sailing out of Galveston.

I am a huge Texas Rangers fan and I always watch them on TV or at the ballpark. Most of all, I adore my family and I love Jesus Christ and the relationship I have with Him and I love that Happily Ever After Travel is based on Christian beliefs and how we live by them. I am truly blessed! Since 2016, I have helped multi-generational families set sail on their dream vacation. I believe that sharing the passion for travel with others is as exciting as going myself. As a graduate of the College of Disney Knowledge and a cruise enthusiast, my passion for family cruises, trips to Disney theme parks, and all-inclusive vacations have given me the experience necessary to design custom itineraries for families of all sizes. Over the years, I have enjoyed time in Mexico, taken my family on cruises with stops in various Caribbean Islands, surprised my children with their “Once in a Lifetime” trip to Disney and traveled to Disneyland and Disney World for over 10 years for enjoyment as well as education and training. With this knowledge and training of the peak times for cruises and theme parks, plus the passion I have for helping families create their perfectly planned vacation, I am the ideal person to make your magical dreams come true. Wherever your next trip maybe, I would love to work with you to make it truly unforgettable!

My Favorite Place to Travel:

That’s so hard because I love to travel to the Caribbean and just be lazy sitting on the beach in the sun. BUT: I also love to spend time in Disney World having the time of my life… So I try to do both of them each year.

The best thing I ever ate on Vacation:

Bread Pudding at ‘Ohanas!!!! It’s amazing… We never miss ‘Ohanas. It’s the best!!! I love the Pineapple-coconut bread, potstickers and the wonderful flair on Hawaiian food. I love how they serve the food in different courses and save the best for last which is dessert.

The best thing about being a Travel Agent:

Meeting families that would love to travel to Disney World but just feel so overwhelmed about the whole process and showing them my experience with Disney and taking away all of their worries and planning a magical vacation with a touring plan that is all wrapped up with a bow.
