My Specialties

I plan lots of trips, these are destinations I really love.

Walt Disney World
Walt Disney World

Magic Kingdom castle views... Animal Kingdom safaris... Hollywood Studios movie magic... and Epcot "around the world" adventures. There's a Walt Disney World park and resort for everyone and I know them all like my own backyard (they kinda are).

Disneyland Resort
Disneyland Resort

A trip to Disneyland is like a pilgrimage for any Disney Adult. Disney California Adventure is my favorite Disney park anywhere... let me show you why.

Universal Orlando
Universal Orlando

Orlando isn't all Disney magic... ride the movies and immerse yourself in a universe of adventure at Universal Orlando Resort.

Virgin Voyages
Virgin Voyages

The cruiseline where adults can be kids again... because no one under 18 is allowed. Whether you're down to party or just want to relax and unplug, Virgin Voyages is my number one cruiseline for adult-only travelers.

Disney Cruise
Disney Cruise

All the magic of the Disney Parks... at sea. Disney Cruiseline is the ultimate family vacation, and expanding more and more every day with new ships, itineraries, ports, and activities.

Adult Only All Inclusives
Adult Only All Inclusives

For when you need to get away, drink at swim up bar, read on the beach, or celebrate life's biggest moments with a group of friends and family. I have several adult-only all inclusive resorts in my portfolio to send you off to!

How It Works

It's a simple process that allows me to get to know you and plan a custom trip based on your own wants and needs

Step 01
Share your vision
Fill out a quick inquiry form to let me know where you're dreaming of going, who you're going with, and what your priorities are.
Step 02
The planning begins
Next, you have the option to schedule a call with me to go over your trip details (or we can plan over email/text). I'll put together your full itinerary, outline the costs, and send it over for you to review.
Step 03
Travel with confidence
Once we book your trip, that's just the beginning. I'm still there for you every step of the way as you have questions and we plan out the finer details of your trip. And even as you're traveling, I'm just a call or text away for anything that might come up.

Hi, I'm Geoffrey

I'm an Orlando-based travel advisor who knows Disney World and Universal Orlando like my own backyard (because they are). I'm a frequent theme park goer, cruise sailor, and resort guest at properties in the U.S. and around the world. The real value in working with me is that I'm a travel advisor who actually travels, and knows the destinations I'm sending you to. My core values are authenticity, adventure, and access. I strive to show up authentically in everything I do and share; to always strive for adventure and embrace challenges as learning moments; and helping ensure everyone has equitable access to resources and opportunities. I spent a decade working as a higher education administrator at major flagship universities. In 2025, I left that career to take on travel planning full time. Throughout every stage of life, I've been all about helping people and crafting impactful experiences you'll remember for a lifetime. Now I do that with planes and passports instead of in a classroom or office.

Questions, answered

Do you only book Disney?
Nope! I book a LOT of Disney theme park trips, but I actually have even more cruises and other trips on the books for this year. Whether you want Disney, Universal, a cruise, Mexico, Eruope, or some other destination, I'm here for you. I have connections to a ton of resources and suppliers to help with all types of trips.
Is there an extra fee to booking with you?
For 99% of standard trips, no! My commission is already included into the price of any trip you book - even if you book it on your own (the supplier just keeps that $$). I don't charge any extra fees on top of that except in very specific circumstances.
What circumstances come with a planning fee?
There are two main cases where I will charge a small fee to plan and book something for you: first, flights (because those don't already include any commission in the consumer cost). Second, large group trips or trips that involve a lot of coordinating beyond the standard vacation. Think weddings, school groups, etc. as well as trips where I'm traveling along with you to help you on site. And while not a planning fee, I do also include a cancellation fee in my terms and conditions (again based on the price of your trip). This only applies if you decide to cancel a trip once booked, and can be waived at my discretion for extenuating circumstances. It's in place to protect my time and effort put into your trip, because I'm not paid commission for any trips that don't actually travel.
I already booked on my own, can I still get your help with planning?
My advice and assistance is limited to my travel clients, but there are ways you can get access to my services on trips you already booked yourself. First, in some cases, we can transfer management of your existing booking to me so I get the credit and commission on it. There are specific rules in place for this that vary for each destination, so we'll talk through those case-by-case. Second, when we can't transfer your booking or for trip types that don't allow travel advisors to book them (i.e. DVC points, credit card reward trips, company discount sites, Disney cast member rates, etc.), I do offer a "planning-only" service where you get all the advice, resources, and travel assistance as any other client for a small fee. The fee is based on the price of the booking and will be discussed individually per client.
Can you get me any discounts I can't get on my own?
This greatly depends on the type of trip you're taking... sometimes yes, but not always. For example, some cruise lines give me access to exclusive rates, onboard incentives, and other add ons. With every trip, you're getting my advice, support, and connections every step of the way which isn't something you ever get on your own.
Do I lose control of decisions/planning when I book with you?
That's entirely up to you! I have some clients who want to give up the decision making and that's great, I'm happy to take the lead. And then there's some who want to see all their options, still book things like dining reservations and lightning lanes and that's fine too. At the end of the day, it's YOUR trip and I'm here to accommodate what you want.
What is your typical response time?
I aim to respond to all initial intake/new trip requests within 24-48 hours. That does vary by season, how many other new requests I have, and how many clients I have actively traveling (who always get first priority!). General questions, outreach, etc. I also aim to respond to within the same time frame. Some things do take more time to research and plan out, but I'll always keep you updated on where I'm at with something. And you're always welcome to follow up and check in!
How can I get started working with you?
Step 1 is filling out my new trip request form (linked on this page), and then I'll be in touch with more details. Once you submit your form, you'll have the option to schedule a video call to go over your trip and what you're looking for. Or we can plan things over email/text if you prefer. You'll also get access to your own secure Client Portal once you submit your first trip request. There you'll find all your current, future, and past trips where you can make payments, view helpful guides and resources, find all your confirmation documents in one place, easily connect with me, and more.

Why travelers come back

Geoffrey helped me with the booking for a 30 person 40th birthday celebration in Mexico and did a wonderful job. Always on point, communicative, ahead of schedule and helpful. He did a great job making sure everyone got the right rooms and managed all our airport transfers flawlessly.

The morning we left, part of our travel party woke up ill and unable to travel. I immediately emailed Geoffrey (911 was the subject) and he worked to get their reservation moved to later in the week and worked magic to get them some refund for the days they missed. Later the next day, he even came and connected with us in Epcot to meet us and check in. I appreciate his attentiveness, as I became really high-maintenance ?? He is amazing and I will for sure work with him again.

First let me say I am extremely particular. Yes, I could be called difficult. Geoffrey never acted as if a request was too much or became impatient. His number one goal was to exceed my wish list. In the first 36 hours, I may have sent too many emails, he continued to answer every one in a timely manner. Would I use him again…YES!
