Expert Itinerary Designer
I’m Lisa, and I run FamilyTale Vacations.
I’m often asked if I work for Disney. The answer is no—I work for you.
While I am a credentialed Disney expert with over 20 years of experience navigating their parks, my loyalty is to my clients, not a corporate brand. I started FamilyTale Vacations because I believe family time is too valuable to be spent stressed over spreadsheets and booking windows.
Whether it’s a Disney World "rite of passage" trip, a multi-generational family cruise, or a weekend getaway, I provide the strategy and logistics that big booking engines can't. I’m here to make sure your vacation feels like a storybook, not a chore.

Keeping up with the evolution of Orlando's resorts and theme parks is paramount - and it pays off. With countless trips to Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando Resort, I have learned how to navigate these resorts with minimal waits and crowds. These dynamic destinations boast 35+ on-site resort hotels, three water parks, six theme parks and too many ticket combinations to list. Let's just say there's a lot to consider!

Being an avid and frequent cruiser, as well as a Cruise Lines International Association Certified Cruise Counsellor and Certified Accessible Travel Specialist, affords me the experience, expertise, and perspective to help you choose the right ship and trip for your family.
Cruising offers vacationers an extraordinary value, visiting multiple destinations while only having to unpack once! And, today's cruise ships have become travel destinations unto themselves with cruise lines competing to bring out bigger, better, and more exciting offerings than ever before. Being a Royal Caribbean Cruise Line Master of Adventure, Norwegian Cruise Line Certified, and MSC Cruise Line Specialist provides me with the expertise to help you plan the most eventful - or relaxing - cruise experience.

The FamilyTale Difference:
There are innumerable choices for your family's vacation dollars, so it's essential that you have an advisor who listens to what you and your family want and need in a vacation.
Families with young children need vacation options with attractions and experiences that appeal to those ages, while multi-generational families might need a range of activities that apply to several age groups. Some families might prefer sand and sun, while others might lean toward active adventures.
"when I build your itinerary, I'm considering not only what your family wants, but what they need"
I've had the opportunity to plan vacations for a multitude of families with diverse make-ups, sizes, ages, and interests. Setting aside personal preferences while recommending destinations and experiences, and building itineraries appropriate for the whole family is what sets my planning services apart.
My Accessible Travel Certifications dovetail with my 25+ years as a teacher; I hold certifications in pre-k through 6th and English 7th-12th. The perspective from these certifications is invaluable, as I am able to consider the needs of different age and ability levels that others may overlook. So when I build your itinerary, I'm considering not only what your family wants, but what they need (as well as what they might not even realize they might want or need).
Allow me to build YOUR Family Vacation.
