​
I was born and raised in Dallas, Texas, but I always felt a strong connection to Colorado. Ever since I was a kid, I loved the outdoors and the beauty of nature.

Stephanie
Hello! My name is Steph and I am a travel planner with Integrity Destinations. I am from Spring Mills, Pennsylvania, a little town close to Penn State University, but now live in Colorado Springs, Colorado. I am a proud mom to 2 (soon to be 3) beautiful daughters and have one of the most amazing and supportive husbands EVER - he supports my traveling addictions AND allows me to travel and take vacations as often as I want!
​
Family and vacations are very important to me due to my own personal family dynamic of being so far away from our family and friends. Disney has always been special to me. It isn't just a place. It is a feeling and in my eyes everything about Disney is simply magical. It's a place where dreams come true - where little girls become princesses, little boys become pirates and superheroes and adults get to be kids. I love sharing stories about my Disney experience from when I was a little kid to my most recent trips with my friends and family. Whether traveling to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Disney's Aulani or taking a Disney Cruise, I have you covered!! From choosing the perfect resort or stateroom, to those must have dining reservations, fast passes (if they ever come back), stroller rentals, and magical extras - I can help!
​
In addition to Disney, I love visiting Universal Studios Orlando and I can assist with all Universal vacations as well as Sea World and multiple other destinations! Let me know where you want to go and I'd love to make your vacation planning stress free and unforgettable!!
​
DESTINATIONS: Disney World, Disneyland, Aulani, Adventures by Disney, Disney Cruise Line, Universal Orlando/Hollywood, Sea World, Discovery Cove

I LOVE TO TRAVEL and planning vacations for people! I am newer to the travel business but not new to taking care of clients. As a previous owner of two restaurants for 10 years, I take pride in taking care of my clients. Listening to the clients desires and making their Dream Destination a reality.
In addition to owning restaurants, I am a mom of 4 boys and proud wife to a US Marine, dog mom of 2 crazy rescues. With our big hectic family I planned all our family trips. Either by air, cruise or road trip! I am a huge fanatic for weird, LARGEST roadside attractions-think World's Largest Popcorn Ball or Stamp!
I bring my fun, playful, excited personality into my planning vacations.
I have traveled several times to Mexico, the Caribbean and all over the United States. HUGE fan of cruising! I am traveling to Europe for the first time this summer and can't wait to bring back what I learn to my clients' vacations.

Soleil
Hello friends! My name is Soleil and I am a travel planner for all things Orlando. I am the crazy planner in my family. I make sure to have everything lined up, so we can enjoy a relaxing vacation.
l am originally from Marina Del Ray, CA. I got the chance to experience California life until I was 5. I moved to Las Vegas, NV and we stayed until I was 7. My family and I drove from California to Boston. I would say that was one of the funniest trips my family and I have done. The car ride was 14 days but it was long as we stopped at almost every Chuck. E. Cheese in different states. I lived in Methuen, MA until I was 11. We spent lots of time going to different theme parks up north. One year, my mom wanted to go to Orlando for her birthday. We made a trip to Orlando and we fell in love with the Orlando area. We visited three times until we decided to move down to Orlando. Once we moved to Orlando, we got to explore the fun of Orlando. We got annual passes to Disney. Here and there, we were annual passholders for Universal Orlando and SeaWorld.
Living in Orlando since I was 11, I grew up in the theme parks. I got to see the changes, the new lands, the new rides and so much more. I love how no matter how many times I go to the parks, I still get excited to be there. I love my days at the theme parks. I love to learn all the new things coming up for the theme parks. I even got the chance to work at Walt Disney World. It is fun working under the famous mouse. One thing about Orlando is all the small businesses out here. There are so many different restaurants, experiences, shops, and more to do here.
As an Orlando insider, I’ll provide you with the latest tips and tricks to make the most out of your vacation. To the best times to get to the parks to the hidden places that only locals know about.
DESTINATIONS: Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando, Sea World, Discovery Cove, Orlando’s Local Experiences
EXPERTISE: Families, Couples, Individuals
