This past July, something truly special happened. Goofy Getaways celebrated 13 incredible years during our bi-annual agency summit. We brought together our team from across the country for this year’s gathering — themed Pixie Dust and Possibilities: Elevating the Magic — and it was nothing short of transformative.

Living near Walt Disney World isn’t just about having easy access to the most magical place on Earth—it’s a lifestyle that I’ve come to love. From spontaneous park visits to knowing the best times to avoid the crowds, being a Disney World local comes with its own unique perks and insider secrets. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to have Cinderella Castle practically in your backyard, here’s a glimpse into the magic from my perspective!

One of the most magical things about visiting a Walt Disney destination is the feeling of belonging. Whether you’re exploring the enchanting lands of Disneyland, experiencing an Adventure by Disney Destination, sailing the seas on Disney Cruise Line, or immersing yourself in the wonder of Walt Disney World, Disney has long been a place where everyone—regardless of background, identity, or who they love—can feel safe, respected, and celebrated.

For as long as I can remember, I always wanted to be the boss. No, seriously—I knew I wanted to have my own business and be able to lead others. What I didn’t know was how much work went into owning a company, managing day-to-day operations, and earning the trust of those who chose to join me on this journey. I underestimated just how important relationships would be in building a successful business.

Welcome! I’m Amy - or better known as Goofy Getaways She-E-O. For as long as I can remember, faith and family have been the foundation of my life. Being married for just over 30 years and raising three incredible grown children has shaped my values, my leadership, and my perspective on what truly matters. As CEO of Goofy Getaways, I carry these principles into every decision I make, ensuring that our company is not just a place to book magical vacations but a space where every agent, client, and partner feels valued, supported, and inspired.
