I’m Lori Ketcherside, a Disney travel expert with nine years of experience helping families turn their vacations into once-in-a-lifetime adventures. As part of the Wanderly Adventures team, I specialize in Disney Cruise Line, VIP park experiences, and milestone trips—like the epic mother/son graduation getaway I’m currently planning to Universal’s brand-new Epic Universe! Whether it’s your first trip or your fiftieth, I bring expert insight, concierge-level service, and a whole lot of Disney magic to every itinerary.

Celebrating my tenth year as a travel advisor, I’ve had the privilege of specializing in Disney destinations, cruises, and family adventures. I’m a College of Disney Knowledge graduate and a Universal Orlando Resort Specialist. I’m passionate about creating magical vacations for families, from multi-generational trips and mother-daughter getaways to girls group cruises. Whether it’s your first time at Walt Disney World or your twenty-fifth Disney Cruise, I’m here to craft a vacation that’s personalized, memorable, and sprinkled with pixie dust.

My love for travel started when I began planning vacations for my own kids and realized how difficult it was to find information on allergy-friendly cruising. So, like any determined mom, I did the research and started a blog to help other families navigate Disney Cruise Line with dietary needs. That journey sparked my passion for creating stress-free, magical vacations. Since then, I’ve taken dozens of Disney Cruises (earning Pearl Castaway Club status), visited every Walt Disney World resort, and explored destinations from Aulani to Alaska. I find so much joy in helping families plan every detail of their trips—whether it’s discovering the best dining, securing must-do experiences, or finding quiet moments of connection along the way.

When I’m not helping clients plan their dream vacations, you’ll find me hanging out with my family (probably binge-watching Gilmore Girls), baking chocolate chip cookies, or daydreaming about our next getaway. I truly believe every family deserves a vacation filled with magic,  relaxation, and memories that last a lifetime.

I can’t wait to help you plan your next family adventure! Feel free to reach out to me at [email protected] or text me at 936-827-2737, and let’s start creating magical memories together.
