Alexis
Alexis was born in England and when she was four she moved to the United States with her family. By the age of five, her family packed up everything and drove across the country to the beautiful state of Alaska. She grew up loving the outdoors and went on many Alaskan adventures. By the time she was in high school, her parents has joined Disney Vacation Club and she found herself enjoying the Walt Disney World Resort multiple times a year. Once she was 18 she moved from Alaska to sunny Florida for college to pursue her education in business and also participate in the Disney College Program. Disney has been her home-away-from-home ever since. She enjoys backpacking trips to national parks and has also traveled abroad to immerse herself in many different cultures. During her free time, you can catch her doing any activity outside or going to a unique hole-in-the-wall restaurant to new cuisines.
Amethyst grew up traveling extensively with her family all around the United States. She has visited 46 of the 50 states and plans to revisit every one, as well as see the final four! She has also been lucky enough to have vacationed many times at the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, as well as the Disneyland Resort in California. She is currently a Seasonal Cast Member at the Walt Disney World Resort, a Disney Annual Passholder, a Member of Disney Vacation Club, and a graduate of the College of Disney Knowledge. As she began exploring on her own, Amethyst found a passion for solo trips and road trips within the United States. She currently excels in planning Disney Destinations, domestic destinations/road trips, and U.S. National Park vacations. Amethyst would be ecstatic to help you plan memories that will last a lifetime!

Jessica has always had an innate interest in travel for as long as she remembers. She had the opportunity to study abroad in Greece and Turkey in college, and ever since has felt the drive to travel the world and learn about new cultures. After graduating with a degree in Hospitality Management, she got her start in planning events and weddings but always made sure to take breaks during the year to check places off her travel bucket list. In some of her favorite trips, she's explored the beautiful coral reefs of Belize, hiked the waterfalls of Costa Rica, and shopped at the Grand Bazaar in Turkey. She also believes that you don't have to jump on a plane overseas to have the adventure of a lifetime.

Wherever your heart takes you, remember "travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer." Let her plan your epic honeymoon, family vacation, or the bucket list trip of your dreams!
