Planning unforgettable vacations for busy people!
🏰 Disney 🌎 Universal 🚢 Cruises 🌴 Islands MY STORY
Hi, my name is Karen! Having traveled all over the U.S.
(3)

I’m a wife and mom of 3 with a dream of working at Disney World when I grow up—maybe as a dancer in the Main Street parade, or sell safari Mickey Ears at a kiosk in Animal Kingdom, or even be a ride operator for Slinky Dog Dash! I vacationed at Disney World with my family as a child, but my love and passion for all things Disney started after my husband and I took a vacation there—before we even h

ad kids! and even to many places internationally, I realized that no destination can compare to a Disney Destination! I love the attention to detail that Disney puts into everything, from the changing music and pavement between lands at Magic Kingdom to the Disney Transportation bus drivers giving my children “trading cards” about the different buses they might ride while on Disney property. These little touches create a magic unlike any other place I’ve experienced, and given the choice of where to go on our next family vacation we always choose DISNEY!!! Though I would love to visit Disney everyday, I will have to instead get my “fix” by helping others experience the magic of Disney. I am so thankful for the opportunity to be a travel planner, because I love helping people make lifelong memories! I love sharing my favorite restaurants, rides, snacks, and resorts. Or helping people who aren’t into rides or crowds enjoy Disney, too (Pin trading, in-park scavenger hunts, and finding those elusive hidden Mickeys are a few of my secrets). I have learned through much trial and error how to get the most bang for your buck on a stroller rental or how to get the most benefit out of a Fast Pass. If taking a Disney vacation is something that feels overwhelming to you, I’m here to help! It would be such a joy for me to take away that burden and free you up to experience Disney magic without the stress. WHY USE A TRAVEL PLANNER? Well, the best news is that it doesn’t cost you anything! I’m always on the lookout for discounts and deals to make your trip as affordable as possible. There are lots of details that go into planning a Disney trip, and I am here to guide you through every step of the process. I’ll walk you through all your options regarding rooms, tickets, reservations, and plans so that you get the most out of your Disney experience. I have completed the certification from the College of Disney Knowledge and am able to book all Disney Destinations: Walt Disney World, Disneyland Resort, Disney Cruise Line, Adventures by Disney, and Disney’s Aulani Resort in Hawai’i.

While I do LOVE to travel and showcase amazing destinations, this job is rarely relaxing on the beach or meeting my favorite Mickey pals. As a travel advisor, I work daily to plan amazing vacations, but I also reschedule travel during natural disasters, move transfers around due to flight delays and unexpected trip disruptions.

While a week ago I was advising clients on making their Lightning Lane selections and packing for fall break trips, the last 3 days has been hours upon hours communicating back and forth with the same clients to modify those trips. All of this to say, being a travel advisor isn't always glamorous but I LOVE every minute of it! 🫶🏼 🫶🏼 🫶🏼

So instead of booking a trip on your own, remember that it costs you ZERO to book with me! You'll get my expertise, tips, time, and support in times like these! How much time have my clients spent on the phone rearranging these trips- none :)

Hey there travel peeps! 👋🏻 It’s a been a while since I’ve done this, so I thought I’d reintroduce myself. I’m Karen. 🙋🏼‍♀️ While my dream job would be to work AT Walt Disney World, I am still raising tiny humans and therefore get my Disney fix by planning trips for other busy folks like yourself!

I vacationed at Disney World with my family as a child, but my love and passion for all things Disney started after my husband and I took a vacation there—before we even had kids! I started as a Disney planner in January of 2020 🦠 (I know right, perfect timing!) then expanded my portfolio to include Universal Orlando and tropical all-inclusive vacations!

If researching and planning for your much needed vacation is something that feels overwhelming to you, I’m here to help! It would be such a joy for me to take away that burden and free you up to experience making memories with your peeps without the stress.

Heya! 👋🏼 Your Disney gal here! Time for another 🥰 CLIENT TESTIMONIAL 🥰

This multi-generational family booked 4 rooms at Port Orleans Riverside for 4 nights with a 3 day park hopper. They purchased Genie+ for all 3 park days and also experienced the VIP tour. It was a "First Visit" for all of the grandchildren!

❓Question for you❓Do YOU like to book many sit down dining reservations, prefer to go all quick service, or mix it up? Personally my family likes to mix it up! We have our very favorite sit downs that we book EVERY.SINGLE.TRIP but we also like the flexibility that a quick service provides. Plus

16/02/2023

Hey everybody! It’s me, Karen Hanchey - your Disney gal! 👋🏼 I give my clients a little survey after they travel and want to have a weekly post to share with you all of their feedback! 🥰

This family stayed at Disney’s Pop Century Resort for 4 nights with a 4 day base ticket. They purchased Genie+ for every park day. 🧞‍♂️

What are your thoughts- have you ever built in a rest/resort day on your vacation? And if yes, what are your favorite activities to do on your non-park day? 🩱⛳️😴🛍️

🥂It’s the 3rd Anniversary of Karen Hanchey Travel!!!🥂 

What a fun year it has been! I’ve had a blast planning trips for all of my clients celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, graduations (high school, college, and med school) honeymoons, baby moons, so many milestones, or for no reason at all other than needing a vacation. Lots of Mickey Mouse, Harry Potter, days on the beach, and floating in the water. We’ve rope dropped, cruised, cheered, cast spells, built sand castles, and danced the night away.

I have grown my business and now thrilled to share that I’ve been able to expand my portfolio to include All Inclusive resorts throughout Mexico and the Caribbean. 🏝 🏝 🏝 So I am ready to take all my clients on their next adventure- with no lines!

Thank you to all of my wonderful clients that have become great friends. I have loved being apart of making those forever memories for you and your loved ones. Thank you for referring me to your friends and helping me grow my business! I cannot wait to see what 2023 brings for all of us. Don’t forget to message me for all your vacations to:
