Meet Maddie, Your Disney Travel Planner
Magic Moment Dreammakers is an independent Disney travel planning service built on more than 20 years of Disney park, resort and cruise experience, and every trip is booked through Boardwalk Travel Agency at no planning cost to you.
Who plans your Disney vacation? Twenty years of park days behind every itinerary
For more than 20 years, Disney has been my happy place and I have returned again and again to create memories that last a lifetime. From the first walk down Main Street, U.S.A. to late-night fireworks lighting up the castle, I have experienced a variety of seasons, crowd levels, and every magical moment in between.
Over the years, friends and family began turning to me for help planning their own trips, and I discovered how much joy I found in designing the perfect Disney day for others. That passion grew into Magic Moment Dreammakers. Our mission is simple: to take the stress out of Disney planning so you can focus on what matters most: enjoying YOUR magic moment!
Our core planning and booking services are always complimentary. Optional add-on services, like custom day-to-day itineraries, Lightning Lane strategies and dining reservations, are also included complimentary when you book your Disney vacation through Magic Moment Dreammakers. From your standard vacation package booking to exclusive insider tips I have learned over two decades, I help families maximize their time and create seamless, unforgettable vacations.
Because when you dream it, we plan it, and together, you will live your Magic Moment.
How bookings are handled
Please note that Magic Moment Dreammakers is an independent travel planning service specializing in Disney vacations. All trips are booked and processed through Boardwalk Travel Agency, of which I am a travel agent, ensuring your experience is handled by a licensed and reputable travel provider.
At this time, I am legally unable to book and plan trips for Florida residents.
