Meet Claire
Hi! My name is Claire Carroll, and I reside in Savannah, GA, with my husband and our two daughters. Our proximity to Florida has allowed us to experience the theme parks and cruising throughout the year. I have loved Disney my entire life — the history, the stories, the magic, and the experiences. Sharing my knowledge and love of theme parks and cruising is one of my greatest joys.
I have stayed at many Disney properties across each category, and I have over 20 trips to Walt Disney World under my belt, having visited annually since 2017. I am a Platinum Level Castaway Cay member and have sailed Disney Cruise Line 12 times, with two more sailings already planned for 2027. I have visited both Disney islands – Castaway Cay and Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point.
I have also sailed on Royal Caribbean and Carnival Cruise Lines, which gives me a broader lens on what makes Disney Cruise Line special and where another cruise line might be a better fit. I enjoy planning trips to Universal Orlando, am the mom to a true Potterhead, and attend supplier training regularly. These experiences allow me to find the best options for your wants and needs.
I am also a Certified Autism Travel Professional. I have hands-on experience dealing with anxiety disorders and neurodiversity in the parks. I have additional training and resources to help plan your vacation and make it as stress-free as possible. Whether you need to know about on-site accommodations, tips for navigating the parks, or the best strategies to maximize park time while minimizing meltdowns, I am your guide through the entire process.
More Than a Quote or Reservation
Over the years, I have planned more than 830 vacations, and I’ve collected over 100 client reviews along the way. That volume of experience has allowed me to work with first-time visitors, seasoned Disney travelers, couples, families, multigenerational groups, and guests celebrating major milestones.
I understand that every traveler is different. The resort that is perfect for one family may be completely wrong for another. My job is not simply to provide a list of available options or book a package. It is to help you make informed decisions and plan a vacation that fits how you want to travel.
I work with a wide range of budgets, and my planning services are complimentary when you book your vacation through me.
I can assist with:
- Choosing the right destination, resort, and room category
- Theme park tickets and itinerary planning
- Dining reservations and character meals
- Lightning Lane guidance
- Airport transfers and transportation
- Disney Cruise Line stateroom selection, main dining room time selection, onboard activities, and shore excursions
- Universal Orlando vacations
- Multigenerational and family logistics
- Special celebrations and milestone trips
- Autism- and neurodiversity-informed planning, including on-site accommodations, park navigation strategies, and meltdown-minimizing touring plans
- Monitoring reservations for eligible promotions and discounts
I stay current on the continually changing Walt Disney World planning process so my clients do not have to sort through conflicting information or wonder whether they are missing something important.
Your Park Planning Guide
During the planning process, I keep you on track every step of the way:
- Setting up and linking My Disney Experience accounts and reservations
- Keeping you on track with important planning dates and reminders
- Personalized dining recommendations and reservation assistance
- Information and guidance on airport transportation options
- Customized Lightning Lane planning strategies
- Monitoring for eligible discounts and applying savings whenever possible
- Keeping you informed of Disney updates and changes that may impact your vacation
- Answering your questions and providing expert guidance every step of the way
Then, shortly before your trip, you’ll receive your personalized Park Planning Files (Claire’s Version) a digital packet filled with a detailed overview of the theme parks, resort hotel information, tried-and-true tips and tricks, how to use Disney transportation, touring plans crafted from years of experience, where to find the best snacks, how to make the most of the dining plans, in-park Lightning Lane strategies, things to do beyond the theme parks, special event information, theme park and resort hotel maps, and everything you need to feel confident, prepared, and ready for the magic.
My cruise clients get help choosing the perfect stateroom on the perfect ship sailing to the perfect destinations, selecting main dining room times, guidance on onboard activities and excursions, detailed ship information, important date reminders, and everything else you need to know about this unique vacation experience.
Every family deserves moments of joy, adventure, and connection. I know that life can get overwhelming, and planning a vacation should be something you look forward to, not something that adds to your to-do list. That’s where I come in. I handle the planning, the reservations, and the logistics, so your only job is to pack a bag, show up, and let the magic unfold. My heart is in everything I do, and my mission is simple: to create a seamless, stress-free experience that lets you step into a world of fun, laughter, and cherished memories. This isn’t just a vacation. It’s an experience full of love, joy, and magic tailored to you and your family.

Claire did an amazing job with planning our trip to Disney.
She got us everything we wanted. She worked hard to get all the dinning reservations we needed, she even got the time we wanted She is available for any questions. She had great recommendations and strategies for each day. She is very detailed and wants to make everyone’s vacation magical. To me she treated our vacation like it was her own.
I cannot thank Claire enough for planning another incredible vacation with my family and in-laws. All of our dining reservations were secured that we wanted as well as modifications after the 60 days her lightning lane guide made me feel like an expert and we got an incredible room right next to our in-laws exactly where we wanted. No detail went unnoticed when you spend this much money on a vacation it’s so important to work with someone who shares the same excitement and passion.
What wonderful time we had in Disney and Universal Studios all because Claire makes sure all the details are in place before you depart. Even if you have issues on days that Claire is off, she will make sure that she reaches out to you when you need her the most. If you want the best experience on your vacation, then please reach out to Claire for an extraordinary experience.
Claire is a life savor! She walked me through everything and helped me register for all the things we wanted to do! We are new to the Disney life and she made it so incredibly easy! I love her tips/tricks/reminders to keep me on track. Her recommendations were outstanding even down to picking out the stateroom for our cruise that we got to watch the fireworks on! Customers for life!❤️
Claire is amazing! She makes traveling with my family to Disney World so easy and stress free.
She’s always there to answer my questions and thinks of things I would never have thought of. She puts my wants and needs first and makes our trips magical. She has a personal touch and the best personality. We look forward to planning with her every time. I wouldn’t go to Disney without her help!
Claire is truly exceptional! Thanks to her incredible attention to detail and thoughtful planning, we were able to focus fully on creating unforgettable memories with our kids. Claire anticipated every need and really did make the entire experience stress-free for us. We would have been lost without her expertise—her recommendations, from dining to park scheduling, were spot on and perfect for our family.
Claire’s responsiveness, deep knowledge, and genuine care set her apart. We are beyond grateful – our trip was absolutely magical thanks to Claire!
This was our 3rd Disney trip planned with Claire, our first to Disneyland. There are so many little differences between Disney World and Disneyland, but Claire was on top of it all for us, she answered every question and pointed me to tutorials for lightning lanes, etc.. The trip was fantastic! We stayed at Disneyland hotel and had 3 park days and never had a hitch with anything. In fact we are already planning our 4th trip – multigenerational- and I have no doubts that it will also be magical! Thank you so much for all you do, Claire!
This most recent trip to Disney was our third one that we have planned through Claire, all of which have been amazing, but this one was the most complex! This time we went with 4 generations of family members staying at two different resorts. Claire handled everything seamlessly. She even copied me on emails to older family members as a courtesy to keep me informed.
I am so grateful for the continual work that Claire does behind the scenes to make each trip magical. I’ve never felt alone or lost in the planning process thanks to Claire’s expertise!
Claire was absolutely amazing to work with while planning our Disney Fantasy cruise! From start to finish, she went above and beyond to make sure every detail of our vacation was perfect.
Claire was always responsive, knowledgeable, and willing to answer our questions throughout the planning process. Her attention to detail and dedication allowed us to focus on enjoying our vacation instead of worrying about logistics.
Thanks to Claire, our Disney cruise experience exceeded our expectations. We made memories that will last a lifetime, and we are so grateful for all of her hard work. I highly recommend Claire to anyone planning a Disney vacation—you’ll be in the best hands!
Claire helped me and my family with both Disney and Universal vacations. With so much to know and do about visiting the parks, her expertise for both were so helpful for us. Having Claire’s help made planning these trips a breeze and took away much of the stress of booking. We were also able to maximize our time in the parks with her guidance. We will definitely be working with Claire when we next go to Disney or Universal!
We just returned from a magical Greek island voyage on the Dream. Claire is just the best at planning complicated itineraries. As this was the wife’s birthday and bucket list trip it went fabulously. From planning flights, transfers, hotel stays, booking excursions, Palo dinner and brunch to returning home. She was the best. So much stress was taken off our plate. I use her for all of our Disney adventures. Thank you Claire.
