Can I tell you something I’ve learned after 30 years of marriage, raising three kids, traveling with extended family, and planning trips for hundreds of families? The most overwhelming vacations aren’t poorly planned. They’re just planned for the wrong rhythm. And if you’ve ever stood in the middle of a theme park, hot, overstimulated, juggling everyone’s expectations while silently thinking, “Why is this so hard?” — you are not alone.

If you had told me that Epic Universe would become one of my favorite places to visit, I would have said, “Absolutely no way.” While I’ve always loved the theming that Universal Studios brings to the theme park world, I’m the person who skips most of the rides thanks to my not-so-thrill-friendly stomach. That means I spend most of my park time soaking up the atmosphere, exploring the details, and taste-testing my way through the menus.

If you're looking to level up your cruise excursions, let me introduce you to one of the most epic, unexpected highlights of my trip—cave tubing in Belize. Yes, you read that right. Floating through ancient caves on a tube, surrounded by crystal-clear water, jungle vibes, and total Indiana Jones energy. It’s every bit as cool (and refreshing!) as it sounds.

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.
