Holly Cooper
Travel Professional
Holly is a native Ohioan who dreams of living
in the Sunshine State with her husband and kids!
After experiencing the benefits of having a
travel professional plan vacations to Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando Resorts, she knew
she wanted to bring that same value and
magic to others.
As a lover of all things fall and spooky season,
it’s only fitting that Holly is Team Disney Villains
and was sorted into Slytherin.
She loves going to concerts, and in her free
time, you can find her reading, coloring,
crafting, and being outdoors.

Behind the Agent
Hi, Holly! Tell us a little bit about yourself.
Hi! I’m Holly, a self-proclaimed Disney Adult and Potterhead. I live in the Buckeye state with my husband, kids, and sweet pup!
You’ll often find me under a cozy blanket either reading or coloring. I love going to the beach, taking hikes with my family, and visiting the most magical places in Orlando!
If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?
If I could travel anywhere right now, I’d take my husband to New Zealand for a Lord of The Rings-themed vacation.
Why did you become a travel planner?
When my family started planning a trip to Walt Disney World, a friend recommended that I get in touch with Gina from The Charming Travel Co. for help. So much had changed since the last time I went and we were coming out of the pandemic, so planning the trip felt very overwhelming.
Gina was extremely helpful, knew all of the ins and outs, made sure our must-haves were planned, and more! After working with her on our Disney trip and a Universal Studios Florida trip, I knew I wanted to bring this same experience to others.
Having someone there to help you along the way relieves so much stress and I hope to do that with my clients.
What advice would you give someone going to Disney World for the first time?
It’s okay to change course once you’re there. We all love a good plan, but when you’re there and in the moment, do what feels right. Maybe the ride you were looking forward to is down for maintenance, or your wait for food ends up being longer than expected – I know those things can be disappointing so try to remember things like that are such small blimps in such a huge, magical memory. There’s always another restaurant to try, a ride to experience, or a performance to enjoy. Also, get familiar with the My Disney Experience App before you go!
What is your favorite non-theme park destination and why?
Anywhere with a beach! I love the way my toes feel in the sand and the smell and sound of the water.
What's your favorite Disney movie?
“The Nightmare Before Christmas” is my favorite Disney movie! I’m a huge fan of Tim Burton and Danny Elfman, and Nightmare is such a classic thanks to them. The amount of time, work, and talent that went into making that movie is just remarkable.
