“Hi! My name is Alana Bedra and I live in Toledo, Ohio. My favorite thing about being a travel agent is hearing the feedback "You made this trip so easy for us". Planning a vacation can seem daunting and stressful, but that is what I am here for. I especially love working with parents of young children, as I have two little ones of my own that I am now sharing my passion for travel with. I have all the tips for visiting theme parks with kids!
You can find me on Instagram or Facebook sharing my expertise with the Disney Parks, Cruises and Universal destinations.”

I recently had the pleasure of planning a Walt Disney World vacation for a family of 4 traveling from Australia. She sent me some kind words to share💕😊

"Planning an overseas holiday can be a daunting task and even more so when it is to Disney World. There are so many insider tips and tricks and research to be done and still you can’t get a handle on it all.

That is why I am so grateful to Alana for being our Disney Vacationeer! Advice, ideas, support, assistance with booking everything (and I mean everything!!) to make sure that we had the best possible time at Disney. From dining at out of this world locations (Space220) and the Boathouse, to so much advice about Lightening lanes to ensure we had the most magical holiday

I cannot recommend Alana enough for anyone thinking that Disney is too hard to plan for. And all doing it from the other side of the world but making herself available to us when we needed it. Thank you so much Alana our trip would not have been what it was without your help”.

🎉🚀 Happy 50th Anniversary, Space Mountain! 🪐✨

Today we celebrate 50 years of zipping through the stars on one of Walt Disney World’s most iconic attractions!

I truly cannot believe this is a 50 year old ride! It is still one of my absolute must-dos at Magic Kingdom. I leave with a smile on my face every time. I'vebeen on it more times than I can count but it NEVER gets old.

🌌 Here are some fun facts about this out-of-this-world ride:

🚀 Opened January 15, 1975, Space Mountain was Disney's first-ever indoor roller coaster and the first roller coaster to debut at Magic Kingdom!
🌠 The concept for Space Mountain was actually dreamed up by Walt Disney himself in the 1960s, though it wasn’t built until after his passing.
👨‍🚀 Did you know? The ride originally cost $20 million to construct, which was a huge investment back then!
✨ The iconic "Star Tunnel" music you hear in the queue was added in 1985 and remains a fan favorite to this day.
