Plan With Emily

Emily makes the magic happen! She plans Disney Destinations, Universal, Cruises, and All-Inclusive Resorts all around the globe. Her goal is to create a seamless experience tailored to your family's needs, helping you create unforgettable memories along the way. Each getaway she plans gets the same attention she gives to her own vacations.

With a commitment to excellence, Emily is a Certified Travel Associate through The Travel Institute's prestigious program. Travel is her passion, so she stays up to date on changes happening in destinations around the globe. She has completed certification programs for all suppliers she books with, and destination certifications with The Florida Keys & Key West, Hawai'i, and Costa Rica, just to name a few.

A true Disney Destinations enthusiast, Emily is often found chatting away about the latest changes in the Parks (even something as mundane as flooring being replaced). Her favorite way to vacation is cruising. She enjoys getting a taste of several destinations and cultures, but also having meals included, along with world class entertainment! Her favorite sailing was Royal Caribbean's Ovation of the Seas in Alaska. Seeing the mountains and glaciers from her balcony was life changing!

Her first Disney Destinations vacation was to Walt Disney World when she was 13. She only spent a half day at Magic Kingdom, but has been hooked ever since. Her favorite Disney Destination is Aulani, A Resort & Spa in Ko Olina on the island of O'ahu in Hawai'i. It's the perfect blend of local culture with the Disney magic and top-notch customer service she enjoys in the parks.

Outside of travel planning, Emily is a mom and stepmom. She understands blended family and co-parenting dynamics like the back of her hand, and can help navigate these vacations for you. She is a nurse practitioner who enjoys reading, cuddling with her cat, and drinking a crispy Diet Coke (especially from McDonald's... IYKYK).

Let her years of experience be your guide as you embark on a magical fairytale adventure!

Life is a journey to be experienced, not a problem to be solved.

    Royal Caribbean
    When I booked my 1st Cruise with Royal Caribbean in 2025 (Enchantment of the Seas) it was on an impulse and not thought out as well so I went it blinded and finding how to travel on a cruise the hard way. This time around 2026 is was WAY different and better planned Thanks all to Fairytale Travel by Emily, Vacation Planner at Ticket-to-Ride, Inc. Our family knew we wanted to board “Icon of the Seas” so from knowing that she helped and guided us with our rooms and making excellent recommendations on what to do and look out for on the 🚢. Emily was always available and very patient with ALL the questions either I or my sister had. I can’t express how blessed and grateful that Emily was there to guide and help us each step of the way. I HIGHLY recommend Emily for ALL your Royal Caribbean 🧳 Travel experiences. Xoxo 💋
