Whether you’re envisioning sushi followed by fireworks at California Grille or dreaming of dining with princesses at Cinderella’s Royal Table, Kathie can expertly guide you in choosing the best Disney Dining Plan or securing those coveted reservations.

But Kathie’s travel passions don’t stop at Disney. She also loves relaxing on sun-soaked beaches with a margarita in hand. Kathie has traveled extensively to Cancun and Mexico’s Riviera Maya with her husband and family, experiencing a wide array of all-inclusive resorts including:


- Riu Palace Resorts

- Secrets Resorts

She particularly enjoys the convenience of a quick flight from the East Coast to Cancun, allowing her to savor beachside lunches by noon! With firsthand knowledge of various resorts, dining options, activities, and excursions, Kathie is the perfect agent to help you plan your Mexican getaway.
