Fun Facts About Me
What movie or book makes you cry every time, no matter how many times you watch/read it?
Wizard of Oz, specifically when Judy Garland (or anyone) sings Somewhere Over the Rainbow. The movie was my uncle's favorite movie. He passed away a few years back and every time I hear the song, there's no keeping it together. Where did you grow up? Seattle! And I'm definitely a product of the area. I love grunge/alternative/rock music, hiking, camping, boating, everything outdoors really, wearing comfortable clothes and seafood! Coffee or tea? Sweet or unsweetened? Unsweetened Tea. Coffee makes me nauseous, so I don't touch it. That's literally the only thing that I am not Seattle-like with. If you had to choose one place in the world to visit every summer for the rest of your life, where would it be? If not Disney, then some exotic tropical place like Thailand, Vietnam, or Indonesia. I love Southeast Asia. Are you the oldest, youngest, middle or only child? Oldest of 2. Have a younger brother. Summer or winter? FALL! Perfect weather, haunted houses, apple cider donuts, beautifully changing foliage. Are you a morning or night person? Predominately a night person What's your favorite color? Purple, but it barely wins over blue and green. What animal would you want to be and why? I'm thinking I'd want to be a bald eagle. They are so majestic and I would love the freedom to fly wherever I want, whenever I want. Either that or a cat, so I can lounge around without a care in the world. What is one thing that you wish you would great at (but you’re not…)? I wish I had just a shred of artistic or musical talent. I cannot draw to save my life nor play any instrument. It would be so cool to play the guitar.

FAQs about my services:
|
Why are your services free?
Pixie and Pirate Destinations, nor myself, ever charges our clients anything for our services. I am paid commission from the companies I book vacations with - Disney, Universal Vacations, Norwegian Cruise Lines, etc. You will pay the same amount of money booking a trip with me as you would if you booked it directly through the company itself. And sometimes I am able to find a better deal because of the special promotions that are available. A reservation transfer may be an option if you have already booked a vacation. As a Dream Vacation Planner (DVP) I work strictly off of commission and I hope that if you decide to book a vacation you will choose to book your vacation with me. Please keep this in mind if I do a lot of research on a vacation for you. Regardless of the number of hours I put toward helping a client plan, I am not paid hourly, Why should I book my vacation with you and Pixie and Pirate Destinations? I have an honest passion for Disney and the Disney destinations. And my Disney knowledge is up to date since this is my career. I have guidelines to follow that are put in place by Pixie and Pirate Destinations. I have been trained to provide you with the best customer service in the industry. And I am willing to work "with" you in planning your vacation. At Pixie and Pirate Destinations our motto is "go above and beyond for each client's individual needs." As a valued client, I will be here every step of the way to help you with your concerns or questions. You will have an email address and phone number where you can reach me when you need to. Once your vacation is booked I will continue to help with dining reservations, a personalized daily itinerary, an updated personal web page where you can track your reservation and more. I am here to see you through to the end of your vacation to make sure you have a magical time. What is the first step? The first step in the vacation planning process is to request a quote for your desired Disney destination.

I can either schedule a phone call for you to give this information over the phone, or you can use our secure website to submit for a payment. Pixie and Pirate Destinations, nor myself, will EVER personally make a charge to your credit card. You will see a charge from the Walt Disney Travel Company (or another travel vendor such as Universal Travel, Norwegian Cruise Lines, etc.). I use your card information to process your deposit or payment directly through the travel vendor (Disney, etc.). And your CC information will always be kept private. If you ever see a charge that you think is fraudulent contact your credit card company immediately. |
