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.

Hands down the best travel agent I or my wife have ever worked with! When our original trip had to be postponed at the last second, Claire worked with us to reschedule while taking into account our vacation itinerary, lodging options, and deconflicting with park “peak” travel dates. We also thought that as Florida residents who have visited the parks many times, that we knew all the tricks and how to get the best rate, we were wrong. Claire was able to book our entire trip for less while providing helpful insights that made the process all the more enjoyable. We recommend Claire to all our friends and others that we may overhear are planning a vacation.
We book our wonderful Disney adventure for the end of February- early march with your help and would have been lost without your wonderful expertise. Your itinerary was thorough. Your help during this time to book for 3 families with a total of 11 people was above and beyond. We are so thankful for all your hard work and knowledge and look forward to booking through you for our next stay at the most magical place on earth!
We booked our May Universal trip and December Disney trip through Claire this year and she was AMAZING! She worked her magic and made both experiences so easy and super fun. I can’t wait to book through her again for our 2023 trip! ♥️
Friends frequently ask me if I have any Disney tips for them and my answer is always the same: The main thing you have to do is book with Claire Carroll! We have taken three Disney vacations booked through Claire and have one already scheduled for 2022. She has the best recommendations and tips for all aspects of the trip (restaurants, rides, planning your day, transportation in the park, etc), not to mention keeping updated on all of Disney’s current rules regarding COVID-19. I also especially appreciate that she books the restaurant reservations the moment they become available so that you are most likely to secure the restaurants/times you’ve asked for. She is so pleasant to work with. She takes time to answer all of your questions via phone/text/email. Her excitement for Disney just radiates and she is truly wonderful at her work! Thank you, Claire!!!
This is the 5th time planning a Disney trip with my family using Claire as our Travel Agent. Every time I have a question, concern or a needed reservation pertaining to our trip, Claire is always available to assist. She is kind, patient and thorough over the phone or text message when we reach out to her. I appreciate all her hard work in putting our trips together and making each vacation a fun filled time. I’m looking forward to our upcoming trip to Disney because we know that Claire has everything taken care of and we are just left with having a wonderful time. Thank you for all you do for us Claire! We are fortunate to have such a special Travel Agent available to us.
Claire was amazing! We had so many questions and she was always on op of it all and so prompt. We loved her attention to detail and beautifully crafted plans she laid out for us. We used them for every park. 10/10 recommend!
Thanks you Claire!
Claire was incredible! She made sure I got everything I requested for my trip to be magical. She was always there if I had questions and was quick to respond! I highly recommend her to help ease your mind while planning your vacation!
Claire was amazing with helping us plan our first family trip to Universal. She kept us up to date with all the changing policies and need to know information that would help make our vacation fun and stress free. She answered all our questions promptly and was extremely helpful. We look forward to working with Claire in the future! Thank you Claire:)
Thank you so much! I had so much fun helping you plan your trip and I was so happy you were finally able to take it. I cannot wait to work with your amazing family again!
Claire was absolutely magical! She made everything so simple and quick. Her online guides made things super easy to navigate and helped us on our trip. She was quick to give any updates and always answered any questions without hesitation and in a super fast time frame. Thank you, Claire!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I loved helping your family plan your WDW trip. I am thrilled you had such a great time and I cannot wait to help you again!
Claire helped us plan our honeymoon to a Sandals resort in Jamaica. Due to COVID-19, our plans changed several times, but Claire was always very accommodating and kind. Her communication was always shift and thorough, and she was quick to answer any questions we had. She even helped us change rooms when I changed my mind. We felt like she truly had our best interests in mind, and we loved every minute of our honeymoon. We would highly recommend her services to anyone needing a vacation planner!
Billy and Katelyn,
Thank you so much for your kind words and patience! I truly appreciate your understanding as we booked and rebooked and rebooked throughout the every-changing world of travel in this COVID-19 era. I am thrilled you had such a wonderful honeymoon, FINALLY! Helping you was truly a pleasure. I wish you both a lifetime of happiness and look forward to assisting you in the future!
