Hey friend! I’m Stephanie—a coffee-fueled travel planner, mom of two, and proud small-town girl from Northwest Pennsylvania. When I’m not getting lost in a book or dreaming up magical getaways, I’m helping families and couples plan stress-free, unforgettable vacations they’ll talk about for years.

✨ How I Became a Travel Agent

I’ve loved planning vacations since I was a teenager, but it wasn’t until 2021 that I officially became a travel agent with Goldgell Getaways. The turning point? A Disney trip with my son that completely changed everything. Watching his face light up as he met Mickey for the first time and stood in awe beneath the Magic Kingdom fireworks made me realize: I want every family to experience this kind of magic.

My goal? To make vacations affordable, valuable, and magical—whether you're team Disney, beach bum, or cruise lover. I'm a budget traveler at heart, and I love helping clients make smart choices that stretch their dollars and their smiles.

🏰 My Disney Obsession (and Why It’s So Real)

Confession: I didn’t go to Disney World until I was 25—and I totally thought it wasn’t for me. I was a thrill coaster kind of girl! But the moment I walked down Main Street U.S.A. (and yes, literally tripped on the trolley tracks), I was hooked. The energy, the storytelling, the magic... it was like nothing I’d ever experienced.

Since that first visit in 2016, I’ve been to Disney World over a dozen time and now get to share that same magic with my own kids. From character hugs to Mickey-shaped snacks, it just never gets old.

🌟 First Disneyland Adventure

In June 2023, I finally made it to the original park—Disneyland! Walking down Walt’s Main Street, seeing his apartment above the fire station, and exploring California Adventure was everything. (P.S. California Adventure is now my fave park—yes, I said it!) I can't wait to share my firsthand tips and tricks with future Disneyland dreamers.
