Let’s Make Your Dream Disney World Trip Happen.

Imagine this for a minute.

The driver pulls up to your resort (that you didn’t pay full price for) and you drop your bags off before heading to the pool. You’re on Get-the-Kids-in-Swimsuits Duty while their dad does the important work: GET MARGARITAS.
 
You juuuust take that first salty sip when your phone blips that your room is ready. Nice.
 
Remembering you have a 6pm dinner with Snow White, you smile. It’s all working. Sliding your sunglasses up the bridge of your nose, you get it.
 

You weren’t looking for some grand, *magical* vacation, you were looking for this feeling.



BUT, HERE's the problem:

You have no time (seriously.)

You looked for the extra time to research and organize a trip to Disney. And you know what?… you can’t find it.

Confusion level = 28,737

The complexity of planning seems like you need a degree just to go on vacation. Like, why. 

Nothing feels like the right fit.

How are you supposed to know what to do with your family? 'Cause you’re pretty sure your 5 year old son doesn’t want to get a princess makeover.

“I made the best memories with my little fam and successfully traveled with a group of ten!”

What You'll Need:

SOMETHING FAST

Like step-by-step instructions and tools that save time, from choosing the right resort to making dining reservations (sry Google.)

PEACE OF MIND

Knowing the best park experiences, dining options, and time-saving tricks so you feel confident in your plans without the FOMO.

FEEDBACK

You need on-going support from people who *get* you -- helping you feel even more confident with each lil' decision along the way.

 Laid-Back Magic®
 isn’t just another “guide” like all the other ones you've seen.

It’s a transformation—from overwhelmed, second-guessing, and outdated PDFs…to confident, calm, and completely in control of your trip.

WHAT's WAITING FOR YOU...

Plan Like a Pro

Before you book a single thing, you’ll create a vacation “sketch” that works for your family. These five chapters walk you through  "when's the best time to go?" to "should we book any character dining?" plus my exact 3-2-1 system for planning meals, rides, and park day experiences.

CHAPTERS 1-5

YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH:

→ Smart strategies for picking park days based on crowd levels.

→ The method we use to save 30-40% on rooms at Disney's nicest resorts.

→ How to land reservations at hard-to-book dining like Topolino’s and Cinderella’s Royal Table.

→ The exact transfer services I use for getting from the airport with kids, car seats included.

→ Every detail synced in My Disney Experience so your group is ready to roll.

Real-Life Strategies

These 4 guides (Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom) are tailored for families and walk you through what to do and when to do it.

PARK GUIDES

EACH GUIDE INCLUDES:

→ Arrival tips, morning timelines, and how to use Early Entry.

→ Ride strategies for lower waits and best picks for littles.

→ Dining tips, stroller logistics, and hidden gems.

→ Pre-built itineraries that are actually doable with kids.

LIGHTNING LANES

This section gives you a straight-forward look on Disney’s skip-the-line system, Multi Pass and Single Pass.

TL;DR? It's how our family NEVER waits in long lines at Disney World.


TOOLKIT

YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH:

→ A step-by-step system for what to book, when to book, and how to modify.

→ The most time-saving picks in each park (and which ones you can skip).

→ Downloadable planner to track return times without relying on the app.

→ Pro-level tips on Rider Switch, split-stay bookings, and park hopping.

Bonus: You’ll also save $5 on an app that books Lightning Lanes for you on your park day.

ONGOING HELP WITH DANA

You get access to me through my private community. It’s like having a best friend who actually knows how all this works, sitting on your shoulder, whispering, “Hey, here’s what I’d do.”

→ When you’re unsure about where to stay or if you should switch hotels—I’m there.

→ When you’re second-guessing your park days or wondering if your itinerary works—I’m there.

 → When you're in the thick of it and thinking, "Is this normal? Should I change something?"—I'm still there!

How does this sound?

The

RESULTS

01

Enjoy time with your kids, not glued to your phone checking details.

02

Never feel alone, second-guessing at 5:59am if you should book this or that.

03

Know how to maximize the (expensive) and limited time you have.

04

Let your family think you're actually superhuman for "pulling it off."

05

Learn from other moms that are ahead of you and getting back from Disney.

HOW IT WORKS

no. 01

Print Your Checklist

Like the start of every epic adventure, you're going to need a list showing you what to do (and when!)

no. 02

Craft Your Vacation

As Walt Disney himself said: "While the worriers are worrying, the planners are planning."

no. 03

Relish In Your Greatness

Hear your husband utter the words: I don't know how your mom does it, drop your mic, and walk into the Floridian sunset.

Because it’s one thing to pick the week your kids have off from school, book a room, and buy some tickets.

But it comes down to the details. Knowing where to find the character your kid wants to squeeze, finding the perfect cocktail, or having extra time to spend taking photos that *gasp!* you're in, too. 

You're gonna love it here.

LET's make this easier, okay?

Laid-Back Magic® not only teaches you how to plan the right way, but how to plan a vacation you'll *actually* enjoy.

"I don't think there is any other resource that can walk you through the process so concisely."

"Plus, I arrived at the parks feeling like a Lightning Lane master! We got to ride all the rides we wanted and never waited longer than 15 minutes. It was such a good experience that we already started planning our trip for next year!!"

— NELLY

"Our kids were able to ride everything they wanted & didn't wait more than 5 minutes in line all day."

"Your Magic Kingdom guide was a LIFE saver for our last minute trip to Disney with our toddlers! I'm not necessarily a 'Disney person' and your guide made it so easy to tackle the park in the most efficient way."

— BROOKE

About Dana

Very into: owning too many books, spicy margaritas, and the belief that planning for Walt Disney World can be thoughtful, inspiring, and laid-back.

• About Me • About Me • About Me •

i can help because i've been there

Eight years ago, I searched for an easy-to-follow "planning guide"

It wasn't until my daughter was born that I shifted gears and learned the importance of planning THE RIGHT WAY.

I made a lot of mistakes (I'm looking at you, matching tee shirts), tried new things, and feel like I cracked the code when it comes to bringing kids to Disney World.

Now I can help you, too.

THE BIGGEST RISK OF ALL? JUST SHOWING UP AND

winging it.

...but most people do. They get to the park and wonder why the lines seem so long, or why they can't eat at any sit-down restaurant. The truth is this: everything has changed since when we were kids (even since 2021.)

Laid-Back Magic® is different than other guides you'll find because

it's a full-blown system.

I get that heading to Pinterest and immediately searching "best snacks in Disney" and shopping for toddler outfits is exciting and really stinkin' cute, but it's not the place to start.

Most people skip the first crucial steps that can save you money, avoid crowds, and upgrade your trip in ways you didn't think of.

& it's the only place you can ASK questions without logging into Facebook. 

Once you're inside Laid-Back Magic, you can stay put to ask specific questions about resorts, dining, Lightning Lanes, park things, transportation, and anything else you might be wondering. 

This is where I hang out the most, giving more personalized feedback in a safe, non-overwhelming place. 

GO at your own pace

Plan based on your FAMILy's style 

STOP SECOND-GUESSING

Follow a proven roadmap

If you're looking for the fastest and easiest way to:

✓ Have every logistical step thought of.

✓ Know the best tips for visiting with little kids.

✓ Avoid the long lines by mastering the new Multi Pass skip-the-line system.
