Shannon Green, I’m a native Texan who has been a travel agent in the travel industry for 14 years. My passion for travel started when I was a young child, taking vacations to various destinations with my family to Disneyland, Disney World, going on Cruises and All-Inclusive beach trips as well. Traveling and exploring the World is still a big part of my life as an adult, which helps me stay up to date for my clients. Partnering with my customers to help them plan and enjoy a Magical fun-filled vacation is a top priority. Taking the stress and overwhelming feeling out of planning a vacation is what I strive for with my clients.

Hi! My name is Chris and I am a certified Dis-Nerd! While I certainly love to travel to other locations as well, Walt Disney World is my true happy place. I am a rare individual that doesn’t have any nostalgic memories from the Disney parks as a child. It was my trip as an adult and father that impacted me so greatly. Disney’s attention to detail and passion for excellence helped me discover what theme parks could really achieve. Since that time, I have become intrigued by all things “Mouse”. I married into a Disney family that shares my enthusiasm and love for Walt Disney World. My wife and four children are always eager for another chance to “go home.” We love Jesus and the mouse! We have a home full of laughter, love, (and dog hair). Let me help you plan your next adventure and let’s make some magic!

Hi, I’m Shantik and I am a wife, boy mom, licensed professional counselor, travel enthusiast and Disney fanatic! My love for travel began in childhood and I earned my first set of airplane wings at 2-weeks old. My grandmother instilled in me the value of seeing the world, learning through experiences and appreciating the beauty of all destinations. In all my roles, life may be chaotic, but traveling is my self care and one thing I will never put aside. That passion has led me here, planning vacations and new travel experiences for others. I love sharing tips and tricks on how to travel with littles, especially to Disney, and I love doing my part in helping you create magical memories!

My name is Tina and I find my place in the world to be Midwest USA. Illinois to be exact.

I love the anticipation and the research of travel so much and have always viewed it as part of the fun! In recent years, Disney has become a great landing place for my solo vacations for all the reasons those who travel there repeatedly know. Recently I decided to become a travel agent specializing in Disney as sharing my knowledge and trip tips to help others make the most of their time is just so much fun! However, my desire to serve as a travel agent doesn’t stop with Walt Disney World.
