Behind the Agent
Hi, Amanda! Tell us a little bit about yourself.
I was born and raised in Louisville and have lived in Wilmore since 2006. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats. I enjoy baking, hiking, and collecting Minnie Ears.
If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?
I would go to Australia. I have always wanted to go because it’s exotic and on the other side of the world. My oldest daughter LOVES Australia and I think it would be amazing if we could all go on a family trip there someday!
Why did you become a travel planner?
I became a travel planner because I love WDW and all things Disney. I used to work for the Disney Store and one of my favorite things was to hear about people going to WDW and hear about their experiences. I sometimes felt as if I were on the trip with them. I enjoy being able to share the magic of Disney with others.
Why did you choose The Charming Travel Co.?
Amanda chose TCTCo. because it was small and like a family. She previously worked for another travel agency that was just way too big. She loves how you can always get and answer from someone/somewhere pretty quickly.
What advice would you give someone going to Disney World for the first time?
Her advice for someone going to Disney for the first time; soak it all in! You can’t do everything all in one trip! Take breaks, a rest day, water breaks etc. Don’t get caught up in the “gotta do it all” mentality. Enjoy the sweet, unexpected magical moments that Disney brings.
What is your favorite Disney snack?
There are SO many Disney snacks that are incredible but my favorite would probably be The Dole Whip. It’s just enough sweetness with a little kick and its creamy and cold which make it a perfect snack for Florida weather…you just have to eat it quick!
