Independent Disney, Universal, and cruise planning for families, couples, and solo adults who want to do it all and actually enjoy it. Real expertise and support at no extra cost to you.
What I plan
I'm a deep expert in theme parks, I love cruising the ocean, and most of all, I love saving you time and money with my planning services!
Walt Disney World (Florida), Disneyland (California), Disney Cruise Line, and Adventures by Disney. Park days that flow, dining worth remembering, and the reservations that book out months ahead.
Universal Orlando, Studios Hollywood, and the new Epic Universe. Express Pass strategy, Halloween Horror Nights, and a ride order that doesn't send you backtracking all day.
Disney Cruise Line, Virgin Voyages (adults only), and any other mainstream line. The right ship for your crew, the cabin that's actually worth it, and the ports worth planning around.
About
I'm a Seattle-based travel advisor, and I also work in tech. I bring my systems thinking and planning rigor from industry to every trip I book!
I started Nifty Travel because I love theme parks and helping people get to experience them. I love the process: the research, building itineraries, even finding the best snacks on property! Now I do that planning for families who'd rather spend their time on literally anything else, like making core memories with their family.
How it works
Send the form with whatever you've got: dates, a vague dream, a Pinterest board. No detail required to start, we'll hash it out together.
We talk through your trip over email, a phone call, or video chat, and I learn about your travel party, budget, and any other constraints on your trip
I send you a quote for each of the pillars of your trip: park tickets and hotel, cruise itinerary, and even flights if applicable. Once you approve, I'll make your bookings.
We dive deep on what you're going to do on your trip, and when. I put together a play-by-play itinerary with recommendations for dining, excursions, and even Lightning Lanes if applicable!
Depending on your trip, I'll book the little bits that make your trip really sparkle: dining reservations, shore excursions, or even Lightning Lanes!
You and your party enjoy your trip! I'll be on hand for anything that comes up, from surprise cancellations to itinerary changes
Still have questions?
For most Disney, Universal, and cruise bookings, no — I'm paid a commission by the supplier at no added cost to you. For complex multi-destination itineraries, or planning for trips booked on your own, a flat planning fee will apply, always quoted upfront.
Time, specialized knowledge, and to have a partner when things go wrong in the process. I do the research you don't have time for, catch the promotions, and handle the early-morning reservation scrambles at no extra cost to you if you booked your reservation with me. If a disruption happens before or during your trip, I'm the one on the phone making things right so you can stay in the moment.
Yes! While I specialize in Disney, Universal, and ocean cruising, I can book your trip almost anywhere in the world.
You'll have my direct phone number and email address so I can take action as soon as we know something has gone wrong. I'll get on the phone and make sure we have a new plan for every aspect of your trip you've booked with me.
Yes! I can advise as to what level of travel insurance is needed for your trip, and I have a variety of comprehensive options that will ensure you're fully covered if anything goes wrong.
