“
Family vacations are where life's best memories happen — I saw it growing up, and I feel it now as a mom myself. My favorite part of what I do is watching families finally slow down, reconnect, and just be together.

Hi, I’m Ali — a travel planner since 2013, health coach since 2009, iced coffee enthusiast, and mom to two amazing boys. I founded Giving Magic Travel in June 2024 with one simple mission: to help families experience truly magical vacations while giving back to those who need it most.
After years of planning trips for friends and family (and falling completely in love with Disney, cruising, and all things travel), I knew I wanted to build something more meaningful than just a travel agency. Giving Magic Travel blends concierge-level planning, heartfelt service, and purpose-driven impact, donating a portion of every commission to help send families in need on magical vacations of their own.
Whether you’re dreaming of Disney, a relaxing beach escape, a luxury cruise, or an unforgettable family adventure, my goal is to take the stress out of planning and replace it with excitement, confidence, and a whole lot of magic.
When I’m not planning dream trips, you can find me working out, sipping iced coffee, soaking up family time, and chasing sunshine.
Let’s plan something magical together ✨
