My name is Josh and I am a full-time Concierge Travel Advisor for Wish Upon a Star with Us. I have been with the agency since 2016 and absolutely love my job! Getting to help families and couples make magical memories day after day is truly the most rewarding career. Whether a family vacation or a romantic couple’s getaway, I look forward to sharing my expertise with you and helping you plan the trip of your dreams!

I specialize in Disney Destinations, particularly Disney Cruise Line. Cruising has been my absolute favorite way to vacation since I was first introduced at the age of 12. I have sailed on all 6 Disney Cruise Line ships and have been on 30+ cruises. I always stay current with ever-changing policies and experiences within the cruise industry so my clients always have the most up-to-date information. I have spent over 200 days onboard Disney Cruise Line ships and have traveled the world with Disney Cruise Line, from the Caribbean and Bahamas to Alaska, the Panama Canal and throughout Europe. Disney Cruises will always be one of my favorite ways to vacation, not only because of the amazing destinations but because of the truly unique magic Disney brings to the high seas and aboard their beautiful ships. I love helping clients plan their own Disney cruise because I know how truly magical their vacation will be!

Disney Cruise Line also holds a special place in my heart because I actually met my wife, Brittany, on board the Disney Magic during a Transatlantic cruise. After getting engaged at Aulani (Disney’s resort in Hawaii), we got married on Disney Cruise Line’s private island, Castaway Cay. We even honeymooned at Walt Disney World and on another Disney cruise. Disney has truly given me a fairytale story! Our Disney vacations have only become more magical since welcoming our daughter into the world in 2023, and seeing the magic through her eyes has allowed us to enjoy them in a whole new way. You can follow along on our family’s adventures on social media @FairytaleWondersFamily on Instagram!

In addition to Disney Cruise Line, I also specialize in other Disney Destinations too. I have been visiting Walt Disney World multiple times a year since childhood and have stayed at nearly all of the Walt Disney World resorts. I love visiting Disneyland in California and Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa in Hawaii. I have also been fortunate enough to visit Disneyland Paris, participate in RunDisney events and even have experienced an incredible river cruise with Adventures by Disney on the Danube River. What keeps bringing me back to the Disney brand time and time again is the service, quality and attention to detail that Disney brings to all of their destinations. Knowing my VIP clients will be in top-notch care is extremely important to me when suggesting a destination, and Disney is known for their excellence.

Over my many years of being a Travel Advisor, my specialty and expertise has also grown to include other cruise lines and travel destinations. While Disney destinations are what I am most known for, I help couples and families plan vacations with many different brands that can deliver the quality and service my clients expect. These destinations include most major ocean and river cruise lines, guided group tours, most all-inclusive resorts and other theme park destinations like Universal Orlando. My expertise comes from my first hand experiences, NOT just some online courses or studying travel from a textbook. I use the first-hand knowledge I have acquired from my own experiences to help you plan a trip that’s right for your family.

I know planning a vacation can be overwhelming – that’s why I am here for you from start to finish and am always in your corner advocating for you. As your personal Travel Advisor, I really enjoy getting to know each of my traveling families as best as I can throughout the fun and exciting process of vacation planning. My goal is never to just plan one trip for a family but to become your lifelong friend in the travel business, who you can always come to with that next exciting vacation idea. I’m excited to share my love for travel and Disney with you, and look forward to helping you make your own magical memories!

We will be booking ALL future trips with you!!!

Josh is amazing! He helped us plan and book a trip to Disney World, and he was so helpful every step of the way! He booked our dining for us and kept me apprised of all deadlines. Even when we had questions about the DAS pass while in the park, he texted me with guidance that ended up being very helpful. I knew that if I had any issues, he would be there for us. Thank you, Josh! We will be booking ALL future trips with you!!!

Made our Disney experience flawless!

I cannot recommend Josh enough!! From the moment I contacted him through Wish upon a Star he did not miss a beat. Answered all of my crazy questions in a timely manner, extremely professional and made our Disney experience flawless.

He went above and beyond

Josh at Wish Upon A Star With Us was our travel agent for our latest Disney World trip. In the past, we have tried to do all the planning ourselves, but this time we decided to get a travel agent to take some of the stress off of us. We are so happy that we chose Josh! He went above and beyond to make things as stress-free as possible, and was so patient with us with all of our questions and ideas. Planning your perfect Disney trip is a rather complicated endeavor these days, and it was nice to have someone who is truly a Disney expert to help guide us in our planning. We had an awesome trip and got to do everything we wanted to do (and more) thanks to Josh! If we plan another Disney vacation in the future (and let’s face it, I’m quite sure we will!), we will most definitely want Josh to be our travel agent!

Thank you for all you did for us!

Josh was amazing. He helped us to plan a wonderful week at Disney with our youngest son who is 14. He made sure that our son had fun and that we got the most out of our experience. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect week. Thank you for all you did for us.

He is so knowledgeable about everything there is Disney.

My family of 6 recently returned from our first trip to Disney. It was such a wonderful trip. I do not know how we could have planned such a great trip without Josh’s help. He is so knowledgeable about everything there is Disney. He helped us with dinner reservations, fast passes, and picking which resort to stay in. He answered all of our question and believe me, we had plenty. We knew many family and friends who have been before and our conversations with them just seemed to overwhelm us even more. Josh was so good at helping us determine what was best for our family and how to make the most of our stay. I would definitely advise anyone to use Josh to help you plan you Disney Trip.
