Pixie Dust Vacation Planners • February 23, 2026

Planning a Disney vacation or Universal Orlando getaway is exciting — but it can also feel overwhelming.

Between park tickets, dining reservations, Lightning Lane selections, hotel comparisons, and ever-changing park policies, there are dozens of moving parts that can impact your experience.


That’s where Pixie Dust Vacation Planners comes in.


As experienced Disney vacation planners, we specialize in helping families, couples, and groups plan seamless trips to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Disney Cruise Line, Aulani Resort, and Universal Orlando — all at no additional cost to you.

1. Our Services Are Complimentary
