Carrie Newhart

Multigenerational Travel Expert, Disney Destinations, Cruises

Carrie knows firsthand how meaningful it is to bring families together through travel. Her first family Disney trip in 1987 sparked a lifelong love of Disney magic she now shares with 4 children, 2 grandchildren, and countless family members.

From big family vacations to romantic getaways, she specializes in the experiences that matter most – must-do dining, seasonal festivals, special events, and bucket-list moments your family will talk about for years.

While Disney will always have her heart, she now curates magical vacations across cruise lines, theme parks, and all-inclusive destinations—including Disney Cruise Line, Adventures by Disney, Aulani Resort in Hawaii, Royal Caribbean, Universal Studios, and more.

If you’re ready for a little magic and a lot of memories—reach out to chat! Pack your bags, we’re going on an adventure!
