Working with Erica is just the beginning of the Disney magic. Erica is incredibly knowledgeable and attentive. She always helps us navigate the complexities of booking accommodations, securing dining reservations, and helping to plan our park itinerary to maximize our time. The entire process is always seamless, allowing us to focus on making magical memories with every park visit. I highly recommend using Erica to anyone looking to enhance their Disney experience—using a Disney travel agent is seriously worth it!

What truly sets Erica apart is her complete respect for my budget. At no point have I ever felt pressured to spend more than I'm comfortable with. She proves time and time again that you don't have to overspend to have an incredible, memorable trip.

I randomly reached out to Erica to see if she could help make our concert weekend unforgettable. No sooner did I ask was she quoting to make sure we got the best price for the room I wanted. Don't sleep on using Erica for every trip! She does so much more than those unforgettable vacations (which are amazing beyond all belief) - she makes the small getaways magical, too!

It's travel planning built around the books, shows, and movies you love — matching real destinations, resorts, and experiences to the story that's stuck with you. Think: the coastal escape from your favorite beach read, or a European itinerary inspired by your last book club pick, planned as a real, bookable vacation. In a real-life example, it’s my clients texting, “We want a Harry Potter trip!” and them exploring Scotland and England three weeks later. This kind of travel lets you live the stories you love!

Not at all — bookish/escape travel is my specialty and the lens I plan through, but I book any cruise, resort, or destination trip. If you just want a great vacation (with a little story-inspired magic woven in if you want it), I've got you.
-
Pretty much everything — I work with a number of cruise lines, resorts, and tour operators, including all Disney brands, Universal, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, Celebrity, Viking, Globus, Cosmos, Sandals / Beaches, Excellence Resorts, Villas of Distinction, and so many more. If you’re interested in something but unsure if I book it, just ask!
I do NOT book Carnival. Ever.

I'm based in Bluffton, SC, but work with clients locally and across the country. I currently have clients in twenty-five states across the nation!

For cruises, 6–12 months out is ideal for the best cabin selection and pricing, and Disney trips often benefit from 9–12 months of lead time. That said, I can absolutely work with shorter timelines too — reach out and I'll tell you what's realistic for your dates.
I have clients that prefer booking two years in advance and some that are book two weeks in advance!
