Graduating with Pixie Dust: My Experience at the College of Disney Knowledge
Having visited Walt Disney theme parks multiple times, I considered myself a seasoned Disney traveler. I’ve planned my own vacations from start to finish—each one filled with fun, laughter, and magical moments. So, when I began my journey as an independent travel advisor, I knew Disney would be a specialty I’d bring to life for my clients.
To enhance my expertise, I completed the College of Disney Knowledge—an official Disney training program designed specifically for travel advisors. Whether you're brand-new to Disney or a lifelong fan, this program dives deep into everything Disney has to offer, and it has given me even more tools to craft unforgettable vacations.
While I was already familiar with much of the theme park content, the course introduced me to experiences I hadn’t yet explored—like Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa in Hawaii, and the extraordinary Adventures by Disney guided tours. These are incredible opportunities to experience Disney magic around the world, far beyond the parks.
I’m now more equipped than ever to help you plan the perfect Disney vacation—whether it’s a theme park getaway, a relaxing escape to Aulani, or a once-in-a-lifetime Adventures by Disney trip. Let’s bring your dream vacation to life, with all the fun and none of the stress.
