Theme Parks
Walt Disney World
Four theme parks, two water parks and dozens of resorts, and plenty of ways to plan it wrong. I build a park plan around your kids’ ages and your patience for lines.
FAMILY TRIPS & CRUISES · WESTERN CANADA
Vacations you plan once,

WHY USE A TRAVEL ADVISOR
Same price as booking it yourself, with someone else doing the work
Usually no extra cost
For most bookings I’m paid by the resort, cruise line or tour company, not by you. You pay the same price you would booking on your own.
Perks you can’t get booking online
Through FORA and the Virtuoso network, many hotels and cruise lines add extras for my clients, like breakfast, resort or onboard credit, and upgrades when they’re available.
Someone in your corner
Flight change, missed connection, itinerary swap? You message me, not a call centre, and I work on the fix while you look after the kids.
Hours of research, done
Which resort, which cabin, which week, which park first. I already know the trade-offs, so you get a short list instead of forty open tabs.
HOW IT WORKS
Four steps, then it’s off your plate
-
01
Tell me about your trip
Fill in the trip form or book a quick call. Who’s going, roughly when, a budget range, and what would make it a great trip. No obligation.
-
02
Get a plan that fits
I come back with a short list of options and honest trade-offs. Once you pick one, I book it and confirm everything in writing.
-
03
I handle the details
Dining, park reservations, excursions, transfers, payment reminders and documents. I track the deadlines so you don’t have to.
-
04
You just show up
You get a day-by-day itinerary before you leave. If something changes while you’re away, I’m the one fixing it.

FAMILIES I’VE HELPED
What it’s like to work together
This was our first time booking with Bryan, and we couldn't have been more pleased with the service he provided. We found Bryan to be an excellent communicator, responsive, and professional. With very little lead time he was able to secure us a lovely room at the hotel of our choice, within budget, on the July fourth weekend. No small feat and he made it look easy. Highly recommend.
POPULAR WITH MY CLIENTS

Where families are headed this year
Theme Parks
Theme Parks
Disneyland Resort
Two parks side by side and a short flight from home. It’s the easiest Disney trip for Western Canadian families, especially with younger kids.
Cruises
Disney Cruise Line
Kids’ clubs, character time, Broadway-style shows and itineraries built for families. I match the ship and the sailing to your crew.
Cruises
Alaska Cruises
Glaciers, whales and small port towns. It’s a favourite for multi-generational trips, and many sailings leave right from Vancouver.
Beach & Resorts
Mexico All-Inclusives
Riviera Maya, Puerto Vallarta, Los Cabos and more. Great value, direct flights from Vancouver, and resorts with kids’ clubs that let parents relax too.
Beach & Resorts
Hawaii & Aulani
From Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa on Oahu, to quieter stays on Maui and Kauai. I help you pick the island first, then the resort.
Does it cost more to book through you than on my own?
Usually not. For most Disney, Universal, cruise and resort bookings, the supplier pays me a commission, not you, so my planning comes at no extra cost. You pay the same price you would booking directly, and you get someone handling the details and watching for problems.
Do you ever charge a planning fee?
Most family trips don’t have one. If a trip would involve a fee, for example a very complex custom itinerary, I’ll tell you up front, before any work starts. There are never surprise charges.
What if something goes wrong during my trip?
If a flight is delayed, a cruise itinerary changes or a hotel reservation has a problem, you can reach me directly instead of waiting on hold with a call centre. I’ll work on it and get you rebooked or sorted as quickly as I can.
Do you only plan Disney and cruise trips?
Disney, Universal and cruises are my focus, but I also plan custom family trips: all-inclusive resorts, Hawaii, multi-generational travel and celebration trips. If you’re not sure your trip fits, just ask.
