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.

YOU NEED:

SOMETHING FAST

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

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

so let me introduce:

Laid-back Magic™

I’ve taken everything I’ve learned, tried & tested from our family vacations the past 15+ years and packaged it into a simple, organized, tutorial-loaded guide that's focused on getting you the vacation you've been dreaming of.

HERE'S WHAT'S INSIDE

01

Pre-planning guide

I'll walk you through the basics: from choosing your resort, how to "sketch" (the key step!), using Disney's tech, make dining reservations, and how to get around the property quickly + easily.

02

THE PARK GUIDE COLLECTION

Through family-focused tips, these 4 park guides show you how to navigate Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom so you can breathe (even with littles kids!!)

03

LIGHTNING LANE TOOLKIT 

AKA your key to unraveling the secrets of the Multi Pass service with expert insights and tips. Navigate the app like a pro, skip long queues and soak up those precious moments with your family. 

04

ON-GOING SUPPORT

Get inside the members-only forum to ask questions you need specific help with, never stepping foot in a scary Facebook Group.

05

THE PLANNING LIBRARY

Download and print everything you need to keep track of your vacation like your park plans, maps, and sample itineraries. If you want a digital version, we have that, too.

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.

"Our trip was amazing; we really got to enjoy our time with the kids in the parks."

I was super anxious about it all and even though we watched countless YouTube videos about I still didn't feel prepared. Then I signed up for Laidback Magic and it was amazing.

- Brittany

"We had a plan so we didn't waste time walking in the heat."

Your guide was incredibly helpful to get us through a hot and muggy day. It helped me prioritize what was important so I didn't feel guilty taking a break in the afternoon to go back to the resort for a swim.

- Kristen

"All of your tips for Genie+ and planning our day were soooo helpful!!

Everything is beautifully designed, easily digestible and having videos of things like booking dining reservations, Genie+
really took the stress away.

- Jen

"I told my husband the other day how I can't imagine planning without Laid-back Magic."

"I (also) told him that between us, you should absolutely be charging way more for that guide. It's that good!"

— JENA, CUSTOMER

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.

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.

Bonus Alert!

When you sign up, you'll get access to discount codes from other small businesses. Save money on private transportation, Standby Skipper, Mouse Dining, and more.

Craft a vacation you're excited about, tailored to your family's own needs and interests.

Gain confidence in yourself, knowing you have the knowledge to handle any hiccups.

Have planning sheets and itineraries to keep you streamlined. Yay, organization!

Know all the upcoming events and festivals that could affect your upcoming trip.

Have a clear vision for every park day, so you can relax when you get there.

Experience the adventure and "magic" you remember feeling as a kid.

"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

Seven 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.

✓ Get the best dining reservations, not just the most popular ones that everyone goes to.

✓ Add the finishing touches, like MagicBands, putting in a room requests, and more.

✓ Craft a vacation your entire family is stoked about, not just the kids.

This is for you if:

You've never been to disney world

it's YOUR kids' first time

YOU CRAVE MORE TIME WITH YOUR FAMILY

It's probably not for you if...

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO DISNEY WORLD

YOU'RE NOT WILLING TO DO *some* WORK

I already booked my trip. Will this still help me?

Yes! I'd skip over Chapter 1 and continue on. This will still help you with dining reservations, learning Disney World's transportation, and especially on how to use Multi Pass.

I'm not a travel agent or affiliated with an agency., but I can put you in touch with one! While I don't offer 1:1 planning, you'll have access to me inside the community to seek advice.

MY TRIP isn't until next year. How long will I have access to everything? 

Forever. (Really.)
