Hi, I’m Amanda Mangum- a travel advisor who believes unforgettable vacations start with thoughtful planning, personal connection, and a little bit of magic.
Based in North Carolina, I’m a devoted wife and a mom to two beautiful girls who share my love for travel and theme parks. My passion for Disney began at the age of five, and over the years, it has grown into a career I truly love. With over 12 years of experience as a travel advisor specializing in Disney destinations, Universal, and cruise vacations, I’ve helped hundreds of families, couples, and groups plan stress-free, memory-filled trips.
When I’m not working as a respiratory therapist, I’m dedicated to creating custom travel experiences designed around your unique needs, travel style, and budget. I take pride in handling every detail-from resort and cruise line selection to dining reservations, transportation, stroller rentals, and personalized itineraries- so you can relax and focus on enjoying your vacation.
I specialize in all Disney destinations, but I also help with cruise vacations, adults-only escapes, and all-inclusive resorts, helping travelers experience everything from magical family trips to romantic getaways and milestone celebrations.
My goal is to make vacation planning easy, enjoyable, and completely stress-free, while creating experiences your family will cherish for a lifetime. Whether you’re planning your first trip, a bucket list cruise vacation, or a much-needed couples escape, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
Ready to start planning your next adventure? Let’s create something unforgettable.
Let Amanda, our North Carolina Disney Travel Agent help you plan your Dream Disney vacation with all her knowledge and dedication.

My love for Disney began when I was a young girl, and my parents took me to Disney with my brothers for a boy scout trip. During High School, I attended Benjamin Russell in Alexander City, AL, where I was a majorette in the band. We were given the opportunity to perform at Magic Kingdom during one of their parades, which was a dream come true and such an honor to have been chosen. Walt Disney’s vision was to dream, believe, dare, and do. I think this is still true today!
I began my travel experience at another home-based travel agency, where I learned about the travel business. During this time, my love for Disney and the magical experience Disney offered became the focus of my travel business.
The many years of experience in sales and the importance of customer service, loyalty, and dedication for every client to have a magical experience is when Fairytale Journeys, LLC was created. For the past 20 years, my family and I have visited Walt Disney World, Disney Cruise Line, and Aulani. I enjoy helping others plan their magical vacations to WDW. I give each client the personal service that they should have. I ensure everything is taken care of for their magical vacation from the beginning of the reservations to the end. That’s why it’s so important to book with a travel agent so that you can receive a personal touch on your vacation.
I am here to help my clients with dining reservations, itineraries, travel arrangements, and most of all, dedication to making sure that each of my clients receives the best price for their magical vacation!
I have an undergraduate degree in Fashion Merchandising and a Masters’s Degree in Elementary Education. I am married to Steve Hays from Huntsville, AL, and we have two boys, Wilson and Garren Hays.
