The most magical, stress-free Disney trip—thanks to Abbie Scott! We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Abbie. From the very beginning, she meticulously planned every single park day with incredible attention to detail—thoughtfully organizing the order of parks, rides, dining, and timing to maximize both fun and efficiency. Every day flowed seamlessly, and we never once felt overwhelmed. She was always exceptionally responsive and endlessly patient, fielding the many (many!) questions we threw her way with kindness, expertise, and reassurance. What truly set her apart, though, was that her support didn’t stop once our trip began. She continued checking in throughout each park day to make sure we were making it to all the parks, experiencing all the rides, and staying on track with the plan. When unexpected issues popped up—as they inevitably do—she immediately jumped into action, got on the phone, and handled everything quickly and professionally. She completely removed the stress and “work” from our shoulders so we could focus on what mattered most: enjoying every magical moment with our family. Because of her dedication, organization, and gracious assistance, our Disney World trip was smooth, magical, and truly unforgettable. We would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a seamless, joyful Disney experience—and we will absolutely be using her again for future trips! ✨🏰✨Posted on nicole williamsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tricia Tussing helped me plan a trip to Universal and she made my job so easy. All I had to do was show up and have fun with my family!! I have tried to eat at O’hana at the Polynesian for years, but never can get a reservation…she got us one on the only day we had available to go…New Year’s Eve and it was a 5:30 time slot!! What a way to end 2025. I highly recommend!Posted on Scott WolfTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nikki Carroll did an amazing job planning our recent trip on the Disney Destiny. She helped us every step of the way which was no small task planning for 17 people. We were well prepared and were able to enjoy everything that we wanted to on the cruise. Nikki was available to us for calls and questions leading up to the cruise. She was a pleasure to work with and would highly recommend her.Posted on Stevens EstebanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sharlene is super duper awesome! This is our second time booking and planning our Disney World trip with her, and we cannot thank her enough for helping us unlock core memories with our boys. Shar is quick, precise, and extremely organized. We appreciated her expertise with all aspects of the resorts, parks, food, and activities. You can truly feel that she puts her heart into planning, and that is genuinely priceless. The beginning of our trip put us through a very challenging start when our red-eye flight to Orlando was canceled just two hours before boarding. Even though it was the middle of the night, Shar was in contact with us and helped us rebook and confirm all our arrangements—from resort reservations to Mears and car rentals. She assured us that once we got to MCO, everything would be taken care of. This eased our worries and gave us so much comfort. She didn't stop at just the planning; throughout the week, she was easily accessible via text for tips and tricks. She even helped us book our Lightning Lanes, which made our days run so much smoother. We can’t wait to plan our next trip with FTJ and Sharlene!Posted on Tanaya F.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Always enjoy working with Heather McCurdy. She takes care of every detail to make sure we have the perfect trip!! Have used her services for several Disney cruises as well as most recently a perfect trip to Universal/Epic. Highly recommend Heather!Posted on Brittany LaibTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Theresa Mink from Fairytale Journeys Travel was absolutely incredible in helping us plan our family’s Christmas vacation to Disney World. She was extremely organized, detail oriented, and always available whenever I had questions. We spent many evenings on FaceTime and phone calls walking through our trip day by day, sometimes hour by hour, so we always knew our options and what would work best for our family with two young children. She guided us through all of our dining options, helped us choose the best restaurants, and booked everything for us which saved us from Disney’s early morning reservation times. When we were deciding which resort to stay at, she went above and beyond by sending us real time videos of the Grand Floridian while it was under construction. This helped us feel confident in our decision, especially since we weren't sure whether construction would be complete by Christmas. That extra step made a difference and really speaks to her dedication. Theresa also secured Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique for my daughter, coordinated our stroller drop-off and pick-up (and even helped when we were late to pick up!), reviewed ride height requirements for our kids, and guided us through Lightning Lane options that made the most sense for our family, and booked our initial LL selections for us. She even offered to continue booking additional rides as we used them throughout our trip. Everything was clearly documented, thoughtfully planned, and flexible! She exceeded every expectation and made what could have been an overwhelming trip completely stress-free. She was incredibly thorough, thoughtful, and genuinely excited to help us plan this trip. I truly could not have done this without her and cannot recommend Theresa enough for all your Disney planning needs!Posted on Kim BalsingerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our travel agent (Brittany Young) was amazing—always willing to help answer questions - even in the evenings and on weekends. Her flexibility, responsiveness, and dedication made planning our trip easy and enjoyable. I requested 2 key items in our Sandals resort stay: short transfer from airport, and beautiful beach. Brittany helped us get both in our stay at Sandals Antigua. She even left a “Merry Christmas” surprise in our room! Highly recommended!Posted on Daphne GrierTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Best company to have to plan your trip!! Fred Chambliss is amazing and very detail oriented Loved working with him and thankful for all he did No stress with FredPosted on Mary FlowersTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amanda Mangum is ABSOLUTELY: amazing, very knowledgeable, passionate, helpful, informative, and oh SO patient (with ALL of my many questions, needed quotes, and advice). Amanda helped from the time the vacation was booked, the 6 months up to the trip, and even while we were on the trip). She was even able to help give advice on medical accommodations/changes for my dad and his park days. Amanda is SO very responsive (anytime of day, any day, while she was on her own vacation, and even while she was sick). I cannot say enough great things about her and ALL the support/education she provided. Our family vacation was a success, full of fun and adventure, and all around one we will remember for a lifetime. From my 16 yo son to 60 yo parents - absolutely perfect. After one day @ Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure - I felt like a complete PRO (with all the information provided, questions answered, and tips). I will use Amanda over and over again in the future.
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.
