Hello! I'm Christina Bayha, and while physically I reside in Westchester County, NY with my daughter and my dog, a little piece of my heart is always in Orlando with Mickey Mouse and Harry Potter. 🙂
I have always loved to travel, in particular to destinations where there are large theme parks - in fact, in my teenage years, I worked at a theme park myself. While in my youth most of my family travels were to more local theme parks or coincided with visits with extended family, I can pinpoint the exact moment I truly discovered just how much I love to travel: when I was sweating profusely in the middle of Main Street USA on a band trip (seriously, why were we wearing long sleeves in May in Disney World? But I digress...) but still could call that moment the absolute highlight of my own high school experience. Traveling has always been my escape, both the short weekend getaways and the longer-than-a-week escapes, and I know just how much we all really need that at some times.
My love of all things Disney has been ingrained in me since I was a child myself, and has only grown as I've seen the pure joy in my own daughter's eyes when she got to hug Mickey and Minnie for the first time. I know just how precious those moments can be, and strive to help all who seek those memories to be able to create those moments to treasure for the rest of their lives. (Oh, and those who say the little ones won't necessarily remember? Trust me, if it means something to them, they will; five months after our last trip, my daughter was still telling people scene-by-scene about how she got Belle's autograph!)
I specialize in planning vacations to Disney World and Universal Orlando, especially those centered around The Wizarding World of Harry Potter (Slytherclaws unite!), but have also completed training and become certified for a variety of cruise vacations from Disney Cruise Lines to Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruises. My absolute love of learning though means that I am constantly seeking opportunities to learn more about other locations, from the smallest off-the-grid hideaways to the bigger ticket destinations that have always been on my own bucket list. I'd love to help you plan your next adventure, to wherever it may be!
