Here’s What Families Are Saying

  • "Working with you was a life saver. I wouldn't have had time to research all the details or make all the arrangements, but thanks to you it all came together seamlessly. Thank you, thank you! I loved all of your tutorials and tips."

    - Maureen H.

  • "A big shout-out to my Travel Agent for finding me great deals and making everything sooooo easy and with zero time! [Travel Design by Erin], I HIGHLY recommend her for any of your trips."

    - Lynn B.

  • "When we were first planning this trip I literally got recommendations from five different people telling me to reach out to Erin, and I’m so glad we did! Erin made everything from tickets and reservations to planning our days in the park so easy. She answered all of our questions and provided so many helpful tips and suggestions. I highly recommend getting in touch with her if you’re like us and planning a Disney trip feels overwhelming!"

    - Kelsey P.

  • "We will definitely be using our favorite travel agent again and using her in even more of the planning process. I highly recommend using Erin for any travel needs, especially amusement park / cruising. She knows everything you would need to know about it and does it free of charge. (Something I didn’t know about travel agents)."

    - Alex T.

  • "We just had a blast at Disney World and Erin booked everything for us for FREE! She sent tips and reminders about our upcoming trip and always got back to us when we had a question or concern. Erin makes planning a vacation so easy!! Check her out if you want help booking your next vacation. She specializes in many types of trips! Thanks again, Erin!"

    - Carolyn H.

  • "Thanks so much to Erin who planned our cruise for us! She booked our flights, cruise, and hotel so we didn't have to worry about anything. She reminded me day-of to check-in for the flights (which I definitely would have forgotten) and even texted me to let me know our flight home was delayed for an hour so we didn't arrive earlier than we needed to to the airport (which was great because it meant an extra hour of sleep for us!). I would 100% recommend that if any of you are trying to book a cruise, you contact her and let her help you plan it out. It made the whole process so much more relaxing! Thank you Erin!"

    - Megan B.

  • "I can't thank you enough for your help in planning our grand adventure to Disneyland. My grandsons had an amazing time! The lightning pass feature worked like a charm - your tutorial was very helpful, and my husband had plenty of GF options to eat. You prepared us so well that I didn't have to worry about a thing."

    - Cheryl

  • "We went to Disneyland for the first time in February and it was THE best trip because of Erin! We seriously would have missed out on so much without her tips and tricks and advice!"

    - Tali E.

  • "Today was absolute magic. Pure, breathtaking, heaven on earth magic. Special thanks to [Erin] for all the helpful guides, suggestions, and itineraries. 100% recommend!"

    - Kortney O.

  • “You were the best and honestly so helpful in planning this trip for us and making it go smoothly. We loved all your suggestions and your emails helped immensely in prepping for the best possible trip. It really was THE BEST! Thank you thank you thank you so so much!”

    - Sarah H.

  • “We are so glad we used Erin to book our Disneyland trip. She did everything for us and walked us through step by step on parts we needed to do. It was only our second time taking our kids to Disneyland, and having her to answer all my questions, sometimes the same questions multiple times, really made me feel confident that I knew what we were doing. Her tips and recommendations were an added plus! Definitely recommend booking through her!"

    - Joshalyn C.

FAQs

  • Professional planning and support are included when you book through me. Travel suppliers pay me directly, so you get expert guidance at the same price as booking alone, but with better results.

    You get insider access, personalized planning, and ongoing support that you can't get booking direct.

  • I work with families planning thoughtful, stress-free vacations—Disney, Universal, cruises, all-inclusive resorts, even multi-generational trips to places like Hawaii and Europe.
    If you're dreaming of somewhere special and want to enjoy the process, you're in the right place.

  • Here's what happens after you fill out the trip form:

    1. I'll send you a custom proposal within 2 business days with options that fit your family and budget.

    2. You'll have 3 days to review everything and ask questions. If you love what you see, you'll approve your favorite option right in the proposal.

    3. Then I send you an invoice, collect your deposit, and get everything officially booked with the hotels, cruise lines, or theme parks.

    4. From there, I handle all the details - watching for discounts, making dining reservations, sending you packing lists, and supporting you right through your trip.

    Travel prices change daily, so if you need more time to decide or want to make major changes, I'll need to create fresh proposals with current pricing. That's why it's important you're ready to make a decision when you reach out!

  • That's a great question for a quick DM chat or phone call! I love helping families brainstorm destinations, but the formal proposal process works best when you're ready to move forward with booking.

    Reach out on Instagram @traveldesignbyerin or shoot me an email - I'm happy to point you in the right direction for dreaming and planning.

  • Absolutely. These are some of my favorites. I’ll help coordinate the details, timelines, and logistics so everyone—from grandparents to toddlers—feels included and cared for.

  • I’m your support system, even while you’re away. If plans change, flights get delayed, or something unexpected comes up, I’m just a message away. You’ll never have to manage it all on your own.

  • Absolutely. I’ll work with your goals and your comfort zone to create something that feels elevated, not excessive. You don’t have to be “luxury” to get concierge-level service.

  • Start by filling out my trip inquiry form—it’s short and gives me a feel for your goals, preferences, and who’s coming along. From there, you’ll have the option to schedule a short call or connect via email. We’ll make sure it’s a good fit, answer any questions, and then begin planning a trip that’s thoughtful, personalized, and stress-free.

Let’s make your next family trip effortless and unforgettable.
