Erica Kocher
Waterloo , IL Travel Agent
I am proud to be a Travel Advisor with Travel Design Loft. My passion for travel designing stems from a lifetime of Disney travel experience. My first Walt Disney World vacation was as a child in 1983 where I was able to observe the Disney Imagineers’ vision for EPCOT come to life. In 2007, my husband & I began taking our children to Walt Disney World on a regular basis. It was at this time that I truly began to feel at home when I visited the parks.
I am living my dream by designing vacations for my clients, as well as, loving and caring for my husband and our two teen age daughters. In addition to being a travel planner, I am a Supported Employment Job Coach for teens and adults with intellectual and mental health disabilities.
I continually complete trainings to help build my knowledge level of vacation designing and added new travel destinations to my list of experiences. Along with Walt Disney World vacations, I also specialize in designing vacations at: Disney Cruise Line, Disneyland, Adventures by Disney, Aulani, Disney’s Hawaii Resort & Spa, Universal Studios, & Sea World Parks.
I have experience in designing vacations for families with children of all ages, adult only trips, multi-family and multi-generational trips. I have stayed at 18 different Walt Disney World resort hotels, experienced most of the Walt Disney World restaurants, and attended several Disney special events. In addition to my many Walt Disney World vacations, I have traveled to Mexico, Bahamas, Jamaica & Canada and all throughout the United States.
As your travel advisor, I will provide you with all of my planning services! You are welcome to do as much of the planning process as you would like or sit back, relax and allow me to design everything based on your families likes, dislikes, and vacation must-haves. I will also provide you with options that will enhance your vacation. As your travel designer, I feel that it is my responsibility to provide you with a one-of-a-kind vacation experience. I look forward to working with you in designing your next adventure.
