A bit of a late bloomer, Erica’s love affair with “The Mouse” started when she was in her late teens. Since then she’s made numerous trips to Walt Disney World doing what she likes to call “research” for her clients. Her partner is crime is usually her husband Jason, and while she doesn’t have any kiddos of her own yet, she has 2 fur-babies that she spoils rotten, and nieces and nephews that she likes to take to Walt Disney World when time allows. She is a bariatric surgery patient and has lost a total of 186 lbs. so far- the loss of weight has made her trips that much more enjoyable.
One of her favorite things to do is stroll down Main Street first thing in the morning before the Magic Kingdom opens on her way to breakfast at The Crystal Palace. Nothing beats Cinderella’s Castle on a nice bright morning! And it’s always fun to end the day with the Spectromagic Parade before walking back to Bay Lake Tower.
Disney Q&A
Who is your favorite Disney character?
Eeyore- he’s cute and blue and gives great hugs (at least he does at The Crystal Palace!). If you could have a job at Disney World what would it be? I’d be one of the little guys on the ball in the Spectromagic parade. It looks like something fun to do. What is your favorite Disney attraction or show? I’m going to go ahead and say Spectromagic on this one. While it’s not a show per se, it’s a great parade that holds a special place in my heart for several sentimental reasons. What’s your favorite special event at a Disney park? I LOVE Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party! I’ve been to 3 so far- I love the parade, seeing the characters in costume and the weather is usually great! What’s the one thing that you have to take home from your Disney trip? No matter what, we ALWAYS get an ornament with the year on it. |
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 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.
