About Us
MagicGuides was born of the idea that Disney and Universal vacations have become very complex to book & plan, and their crowds have become overwhelming, to the point that planning tools are needed to get the most out of your trip. I’ve been a Disney and Universal fan all my life, since my parents first took me to Disney World in the 80’s. My goal is to help everyone that’s planning a Disney or Universal trip to have the most fun, get the best reservations, save money, and not spend too much time waiting in lines! If I can help with that, then I’m happy.
