About me
Hi, I'm Elizabeth Kremer, owner of Magically Designed Vacations, LLC and a Senior Travel Advisor. I've helped more than 500 families plan vacations, bringing together firsthand travel experience, industry knowledge, and personalized guidance.
I work with families, couples, and multigenerational travelers to plan experiences that reflect their interests, priorities, and travel styles. My areas of expertise include Disney destinations, Universal Orlando, ocean and Alaska cruises, river and expedition cruises, custom vacations around the world, guided tours, European travel, and Sandals & Beaches Resorts.
As an agency owner, I bring that same thoughtful approach to building a team committed to personal service and informed travel planning. I believe good travel planning begins with listening, understanding what matters most to each traveler, and helping clients navigate their options with confidence.
My Travel Expertise
I plan a wide range of vacations, from family trips filled with theme park adventures to relaxing resort getaways, destination-focused cruises, and journeys to some of the world's most remarkable places. My goal is to help each traveler find an experience that fits their interests, expectations, and travel style.
Disney Destinations
Disney vacations offer many possibilities, and each family's interests, budget, travel dates, and priorities help shape the experience. I help clients plan vacations to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Aulani in Hawaii, Adventures by Disney, and Disney Cruise Line. My goal is to help each family explore their options and choose a Disney vacation that fits their needs, interests, and travel style.
Universal Orlando
Universal Orlando offers immersive attractions, themed lands, resorts, and entertainment for a variety of ages and interests. I help travelers compare resort options, consider park plans, and make decisions about trip length and experiences based on their family's priorities.
Ocean & Alaska Cruises
Cruising offers the opportunity to explore multiple destinations while enjoying the amenities and experiences available aboard a ship. I help clients compare cruise lines, ships, itineraries, staterooms, and onboard experiences to find options that align with their travel preferences.
Alaska cruises are a particularly rewarding way to experience dramatic scenery, wildlife, coastal communities, and opportunities for exploration. Choosing the right sailing, itinerary, and excursions can make a meaningful difference in the overall experience.
River & Expedition Cruises
River cruises and expedition cruises offer distinctive ways to explore the world. River cruises often emphasize cultural experiences, historic cities, and visits to destinations along scenic waterways. Expedition cruises focus on remote regions, wildlife, nature, and opportunities to explore places that can be difficult to reach by other means.
I help travelers understand the differences between these cruise styles, compare available itineraries, and choose an experience that matches their interests and expectations.
Guided Tours & Custom Vacations
Travel offers so many ways to explore the world, from small-group guided tours through Europe’s historic cities and countryside to custom vacations designed around individual interests and travel styles. Whether travelers prefer an organized itinerary with knowledgeable guides or a more personalized journey, I help them explore options that fit their goals, preferred pace, and priorities.
My goal is to help each traveler discover new experiences and create a vacation that reflects what matters most to them.
Sandals & Beaches Resorts
All-inclusive resorts can offer a relaxing way to enjoy time away, whether you're planning a couples' escape or a family vacation. Sandals Resorts and Beaches Resorts offer different experiences for different types of travelers.
As a Certified Sandals Specialist, I help clients compare resort locations, accommodations, amenities, and available experiences so they can select a resort that suits their priorities.
Professional Training & Certifications
Continuing education is an important part of my work as a travel advisor and agency owner. I continue to build my knowledge of destinations, cruise lines, and resort experiences so I can provide clients with informed guidance.
My travel industry training and credentials include:
-

A Background in Education & Higher Education
Before focusing on travel advising, I built a professional background in education and higher education administration. That experience continues to influence how I work with clients and lead my agency.
My background taught me the value of listening carefully, explaining information clearly, organizing details, and helping people navigate decisions. Those skills are especially valuable when planning vacations involving multiple travelers, different interests, and many available options.
I believe clients should feel informed and comfortable throughout the planning process. My role is to make complex choices easier to understand and help travelers select options that best fit their needs.
My Approach to Travel Planning
Every traveler has a different idea of what makes a vacation special. Some want an itinerary filled with activities and new experiences, while others prefer time to relax and enjoy their surroundings. Many families need to balance different ages, interests, schedules, and budgets.
My approach begins with understanding what matters most to you. I research available options, explain meaningful differences, and help you navigate the details that shape your trip. My goal is to make the planning process more manageable and help you feel confident about your decisions.
Firsthand experience is also an important part of how I continue to grow as a travel advisor. Visiting destinations, experiencing resorts, and exploring cruise ships and different styles of travel helps me better understand the experiences I recommend to clients.
Why I Love Travel
Travel can create opportunities to discover new places, experience different cultures, spend meaningful time with loved ones, and make memories that last long after returning home. I value the way a well-planned trip can bring people together and give them something special to look forward to.
I believe the most meaningful vacation isn't necessarily the most elaborate or expensive one. It's the one that reflects the people taking it and what matters most to them. Helping clients discover experiences that fit their interests and priorities is one of the most rewarding parts of my work.
For me, travel is about more than the destination. It's about the experiences, connections, and memories that stay with us long after the journey ends.
