All About Me

Hi there, I’m Laura! Born and Raised in Buffalo, NY I grew up going to Disney on family vacations from the age of seven.  I’ve passed on my love for all things Disney on to my husband, and now our daughter. 

My family loves seeing Disney during the different seasons of the year and trying new experiences on each trip.  Disney has coined the phrase “the most magical place on earth” but for me, this is an extremely true statement. 

I’m happiest when I’m on Disney property and find true joy in planning vacations and giving planning advice to my clients.  I put the same amount of time and effort into making sure my clients have the most special vacations and memories as I do when I plan my own family trips.

My goal as your Concierge Travel Advisor is to meet your vacation needs and take away the stresses of vacation planning. I’ve been lucky enough to experience Disney in so many different ways that I’m uniquely situated to be able to give experienced advice for any client.

I’ve gone to Disney as a child with my parents and sisters, with friends in college, as a married couple for honeymoon/anniversary trips with my husband, as a parent with my husband and daughter for birthdays and extended family trips of our sets of parents, and most recently on a solo trip without my husband and daughter!  I’ve also attended Mickey’s Not so Scary Halloween Party and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas party, as well as many of the different special EPCOT Festivals that run throughout the year.

I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table and offer my seasoned advice and planning services to any travel party to ensure they are taking advantage of all of the unique experiences offered during their travel dates.

My family always stays on property when we travel to Disney and we try a new resort on each trip. I’ve also experienced so many of the dining options on Disney property (especially in the years when dining plans were offered). Through trying new restaurants every trip my knowledge and experience with Disney dining options has grown exponentially and is continuously growing. 

I use my own personal Disney experiences to draw from when providing my clients with resort and dining recommendations.  I work with my clients to understand their top dining priorities and make advanced dining reservations on their behalf.

Helping others make their own magical memories is the reason I joined the FGT Family!  Helping people has always been a big part of my life.

In college I completed training in peer mentoring and counseling during my tenure as a Resident Assistant on campus.  I now am able to leverage the skills I gained throughout that time to be able to truly listen and focus on my client’s needs and wants.  Taking that educational experience and coupling it with the wealth of Disney knowledge I’ve acquired over the years puts me in the perfect position to serve my clients. 

Let me help you plan the vacation of your dreams!

LAURA’S FAVORITES

Favorite Disney Destination – Walt Disney World!  It’s where all my favorite memories are.          

Favorite Disney Park – Magic Kingdom… there is nothing like seeing the Castle as you walk down Main Street.

Favorite Disney Restaurant – Hoop Dee Doo Review.  Not only is it dinner and a show, but the food is absolutely scrumptious!

Favorite Disney Character – Daisy Duck… she’s been my ultimate favorite since I was a child.  Her sassy attitude is unmatched.

Favorite Disney Attraction – Haunted Mansion.  I love all things spooky and want to some day be the 1000th happy haunt.  I would have said Splash Mountain… I’m excited for the retheme but I’ll have to wait and see if it’s still my favorite.

Favorite Disney Snack – Dole Whip!  I love pineapple, and it’s so refreshing in that Florida heat!
