Meet your travel advisor
Hi, I’m Courtney.
I’m a travel advisor with The Mouse Detectives, a mom, and a lifelong Disney fan who genuinely loves planning vacations almost as much as taking them. Castles & Countdowns grew from that love—the researching, dreaming, planning and, of course, having a trip on the calendar to count down to. Disney is my specialty, and I’m also certified with Universal and Royal Caribbean. I love sharing what I’ve learned through my own travels and helping families experience places I love—while always being excited to research somewhere completely new.
