Hi, I’m Ilyssa! I’m a New Jersey native with a lifelong passion for Disney that inspired my journey into travel planning. My husband and I live in Mercer County with our three beloved pets—Groot, Rocket, and Drax—and we’re excitedly preparing to welcome our baby girl soon!
Disney magic has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember—from watching Disney Channel as a kid to creating memories at the parks with my family. My parents’ first visit to Walt Disney World shortly after it opened sparked a tradition that continues to grow with each new generation. There’s truly nothing like witnessing a child’s first hug with Mickey or the thrill of finally being tall enough for Seven Dwarfs Mine Train!
Over the years, I’ve picked up plenty of fun tips and insider tricks that I can’t wait to share with you. In addition to planning unforgettable vacations, my background as a registered behavior technician has taught me the importance of creating inclusive, family-friendly experiences. I understand that every family is unique, and I’m dedicated to tailoring trips that bring smiles, wonder, and a little extra magic to every guest.
Let’s make your next Disney adventure a dream come true!

Ilyssa has been an amazing Disney coordinator for my family’s trip. We tell her the most important rides on our list, the restaurants we want to eat at and the days we want to rest, she then does the rest! She does all the planning including lightning lane passes and geni plus. Sure figures it all out including which way to walk would be easiest to get to the next spot. I wouldn’t want anyone else planning my trips including myself! She has a love for Disney and it shows in her knowledge of the parks and everything else Disney related. If you’re looking for someone to plan your trip she will not disappoint!
I can’t say enough about Ilyssa. The first time I ever went to Disney was with my daughters cheer squad so the other moms had everything planned out however the stress from what parks to go to was enough for me to find a Disney planner the first time I went with my family. We had Ilyssa help plan our trip and omg it was amazing! It was not stressful for me at all. She had our plans mapped out from start to finish for the 3 days we went including what parks to start with first and park hop to later in the day. She knows her stuff when it comes to lightning lanes, rope drops and even the best place to watch the fireworks at magic kingdom (which is my fav). If I could pack her in my suitcase and bring her on my trips, I totally would! I will continue to use Ilyssa and refer her to all my family and friends.
