Dreams really do come true when you plan a magical Walt Disney World vacation for your family!

At I Heart WDW, we believe in magic.

The magic of stepping into a Disney theme park for the first time and feeling a sense of belonging and joy and hope in our childhood dreams coming true.

The Magic Kingdom is a special place and many families consider it a quintessential rite of passage in childhood.

I’m one of those people. I believe every child who goes on vacation should experience the magic of Disney at least once. This belief is such a core part of my mission in life that I dedicate significant time, effort, and energy into educating and assisting others in planning their once-in-a-lifetime vacation.

Many moms and dads embark on the journey of planning a Disney vacation only to discover it feels complicated, overwhelming, and seemingly impossible to find the right answers to plan their perfect vacation.

It doesn’t have to be that way.

It can be easy.

Especially if you know the right person to ask the right questions to – so you can get the BEST answers for YOUR UNIQUE FAMILY.

At I Heart WDW, we specialize in Disney vacations, offering you suggestions so that every moment of your trip is filled with enchantment and delight.

Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a seasoned Disney aficionado seeking a fresh adventure, our aim is to provide you with ideas for an unparalleled experience.

Let us introduce you to hidden gems and unique experiences that will make your Disney vacation truly unforgettable. From exquisite accommodations to unveiling behind-the-scenes tours, we’re dedicated to helping you craft a Disney trip that exceeds your expectations.

If your journey to Orlando, Florida, is for the ‘once in a lifetime trip’ or if Walt Disney World is your home away from home, we heart sharing our tried and true methods so you too can embrace the magic of Disney.

Planning a trip to Disney World is not like planning any other trip.

I’m Penny, the founder of IHeartWDW, PirateMomPenny on Etsy, and Embrace The Magic Travel, a modern family-focused travel agency. At Embrace The Magic Travel, we specialize in crafting unforgettable Disney vacations for families seeking to reconnect and create lasting memories. And now, I’m sharing all of my best recommendations and insider tips on IHeartWDW!

I have planned thousands of trips for parents of young children who are overwhelmed with the idea of taking on one more thing—vacation planning—with their crazy schedules. They yearn to reconnect with their families with ease. With a background in operations at a Fortune 100 company and as a work-from-home mom who homeschooled her son from K-high school graduation, I have always loved crafting an amazing plan as well as handling all the often-forgotten details.

The Disney and Family Travel Industry widely regards me for my unique planning processes and use of modern technology. I am a member of the American Society of Travel Advisors, Virtuoso Communities, and Cruise Lines International Association. My insights have been featured on industry-related podcasts, and I am a regular panelist and guest speaker at various industry events.

My passion lies in helping busy parents and grandparents experience the magic of well-planned, hassle-free vacations. I believe vacation time is where families really thrive, kids grow to love learning, and our best memories are made

I also believe professional travel advisors are the best avenue to help those dreams come true! We plan hundreds/thousands of vacations a year. It’s what we know, it’s what we do.

We are the experts in vacation planning. And YOU are the expert in YOUR FAMILY! That’s why partnering together is such an important part of the planning process.

It starts with me sharing with you some recommendations and insider tips (via this blog), then maybe you want to invest in a few tools that help you organize or that enhance the vacation experience (via my Etsy store).

Before you know it, though, you’ll have questions.

That’s where a travel advisor with Embrace The Magic Travel really shines. We get to know you and your family personally. So when we answer YOUR questions – the answers are tailored based on your family’s needs, desires, and vacation style.

Hey, if you’ve been planning for a while, chasing answers down social media rabbit holes, trying to find the most up-to-date information, maybe it’s time for a different approach. If for no other reason than because . . .

Moms deserve to finally take a vacation where they don’t have to worry about every detail (which, at ETM, we already do), and the whole family can enjoy quality time together.
