Custom Travel Planning Specialist

The perfect vacation should be designed to help create lifelong memories and should be tailored specifically just for you and or your family.  There are so many things to navigate through from where and when to go, the perfect accommodations, and the right activities. Let me spend the time doing all the research and leg work, all you will have to do is show up and have fun! Want to know how I am prepared to handle that all for you? Here's a little bit as to why!

Whether it was that very first time as a little girl way back in 1979 to some 30 plus trips later, it still gives me butterflies when I see that Welcome to Walt Disney World arch and or step foot on Main Street U.S.A. and see Cinderella Castle for that first time.  From many adult only trips full of adult only activities to now seeing it though the eyes of my children, my well of knowledge of all things Disney runs deep.  I can help you navigate what to do on a trip with a 6 month old all the way up to a parent’s only get away to the Food and Wine Festival. My experience doesn’t just end in Florida; we have made several trips to Disneyland in California as well as most recently, an amazing opportunity to travel to Disneyland Paris as well as visiting Paris proper!    And as a Disney College of Knowledge graduate, I have all the training and education needed to plan that perfect Disney trip.     

Want to see the other "Castle"? No problem there!  I am also a Universal Orlando Resort Specialist as well! 

While my family and Disney / Travel are my first passion, running is my second.  I have completed over 25 half marathons as well as countless 5 and 10ks all over.  I am a runDisney fanatic as well as being well on my way in my quest to complete 50 half marathons in all 50 states. So let me help you plan your next race vacation for yourself or with a gang of your running buddies. I can help you tackle all the race logistics from registration to all your travel plans

But I don’t just know all things Disney.  I have had the opportunity to travel extensively around the world by plane, train, and ship to such places such as Europe, the Caribbean, the Middle East as well as Alaska and the rest of the good old US of A.  I have also cruised aboard many ships on almost all the major cruise lines.  I even hold a Master's in Adventure with Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines and a Viking River Cruise Specialist       

How about an All Inclusive resort? I have traveled to several resorts in multiple locations and am even a Master Agent with AmResorts as well as having completed several training program with other resort brands to help you find the perfect resort based on your taste and budget. 

Military experience!  As a retired Marine wife, I am knowledgeable on the constant changes of the military life and the havoc it can reek on travel plans. I can help you be sure you have flexibility in your travel plans as well as make sure you get all the eligible military discounts that are out there! 

Let me put all my knowledge and training to work for you and with my attention to detail to provide you an amazing experience regardless of where you choose to travel.  No trip or budget is too big or too small!  And as always, my services are always FREE TO YOU! The sky’s the limit! And with Key to the World Travel being a full-service travel agency, I can help you plan any trip to just about anywhere you may want to go!  So I will leave you with one a last thing, Where to next?

    Graduation trip before college!
    Reviewed By Kathleen - Simpsonville, SC | Traveled to Jackson Hole ~ Wyoming ~ USA
    Laura was incredible to work with. I felt very comfortable in all of our phone and email exchanges and was grateful for her calm nature and willingness to help me plan this trip. We started planning this trip in early February for July. This adventure was not just any week away, it an entire week with my 18 year old son before leaving for college. It had to be perfect, and it was absolutely was just that. Aside from the opportunity to have 1:1 time with my oldest, we both experienced sights we could have never imagined. We met fellow travelers and tour guides that will forever leave an imprint on us. And most importantly, we made all of these memories together. Thank you Laura for this special time with my son.

    Laura went above and beyond helping my family to experience the best vacation we have ever had.

    Trip of a lifetime!
    Reviewed By Jenny - Leesburg, Ga | Traveled to Riviera Maya ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
    Laura went over and beyond to provide us the best experience helping us book our trip to Mexico. She made it simple by providing us several options and was always available to answer any questions. The detailed itinerary was nice to have and explained everything we needed to know about the trip ahead of time. She was a huge help when we didn’t make our last flight providing us options to get home. I can’t say enough good things about her service! We will definitely be using her again for all of our travel needs!
