I know we're always told that nothing is free. Well... there is NO additional cost to book with Dreams Unlimited Travel. I'm paid by commission after you travel - and that commission is included, even if you don't use a travel agent, so... you might as well get the expertise.
You will get the same price as if you book directly with Disney, but...
Visiting these magical places can be complex. The Walt Disney World Resort alone has four theme parks, two water parks, and some 30 resort hotels. I'll help you make sense of it all -- so you have the best trip tailored to you and your family.
This is what we do, so we're always watching...
- I can apply discounts -- even after you have booked;
- For Disney Cruise Line, you get a Dreams shipboard credit - that is literally free money when you get on board;
- But I can also help with planning so you are getting the best value for the money you do spend.
If you've ever sat on hold waiting for Disney... I'll do that for you. I'm here to help -- as much (or as little) as you want.
I love this stuff. (See more about me below, but...)
I'm at theme parks regularly... and I have done more than 25 Disney cruises, and... Yes, you have friends who go to Disney all the time and Facebook groups, but... I'm here to look out for YOU. I'm going to help plan YOUR trip -- and I'm going to help you make the magic more magical.
A bit of an introduction
It may seem a bit daunting to be planning your vacation with a e-mail address. So… let me change that by sharing a bit about me and how I got here doing this…
- My family says I’ve been a Disney nut almost since birth. Perhaps it is no coincidence -- my parents literally honeymooned at Disneyland back in the day, so… maybe Disney is in my DNA.
My first Disney park was The Original -- Disneyland. Growing up in Southern California, we would go each year… and maybe Disney planning was in my DNA then too. My sister and I would stay up for days planning what attractions we wanted to visit first… second… where we would eat.
- I worked at Disneyland while I was in college - I got to work on the Autopia attraction. (I have NO photos! How does that happen?)
My first visit to The Walt Disney World Resort wasn’t until the mid-1980s when there were only two theme parks. The overall size of The Walt Disney World Resort is still somewhat staggering - four theme parks, two water parks - more than 30 resort hotels, just as a start.
Our family are Disney and Universal regulars -- we visit the theme parks frequently... I have to, you know... so I know what is going on! (Wink!)
- We are Disney Vacation Club members…
- We have also Disney cruised all over the world -- the Baltic Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, Greece/Italy… the Norwegian Fjords… even the Caribbean and The Bahamas...
- In 2019, I visited my first foreign Disney park on an Adventures by Disney trip to London-Paris-Disneyland Paris…
- In 2023, I got to participate in a Disney boot camp on Aulani - A Disney Resort & Spa in Hawai’i.
Disney -- and theme parks generally - has always been a special place where family and friends can come together and… be present in those wonderful moments that Disney magic creates. (I’m part of the Dreams Unlimited Travel parent panel - you can get a video introduction here.)
I live in Washington, DC with my spouse and my 13-year-old son.
I’d love to help you to create those magical experiences for you and your family.
Get ready for the magic and memories. Whether you are visiting Disneyland in California – the Happiest Place on Earth – or the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida – the Most Magical Place on Earth – there is real magic at Disney theme parks.
- A visit to The Walt Disney World Resort can feel overwhelming -- with four theme parks, two water parks, more than 30 resort hotels, and hundreds of places to eat... oh yeah -- there are world-class attractions too...
- Let me help you plan a perfect Disney trip. The Disney world is always changing. I will work with you to tailor your journey. I’m happy to help as much — or as little — as you want.
My goal is to make the magic just a bit more magical.
NO additional cost -- You will get the same price as if you book directly with Disney. (We are paid by commission from Disney after you travel.)
But wait, there's more... yes, I know this sounds like an infomercial... We are looking out for any discounts that might apply to your reservation -- even after you have booked -- and we can apply those discounts;
Let's plan a magical trip... But at least as important… you will have the Dreams team backing you up. I’m going to be with you each step of the way as you get ready for your magical Disney visit… to answer questions… to help you plan… help with booking dining reservations... I am at the Disney Parks regularly – as are members of the Dreams team and the Dreams’ content team at The Dis;
Dreams has been around for more than 25 years. While we book other cruise lines, we specialize in Disney Cruise Line, The Walt Disney World Resort, the Disneyland Resort, Aulani – A Disney Resort & Spa in Hawai'i, and the Universal Orlando Resort.
The Dreams content team at The Dis has one of the biggest Disney podcasts - DIS Unlimited.

Get ready set sail on one of the spectacular ships of the Disney Cruise Line. I have traveled on each of the Disney ships - at least all the ones so far - and we've been lucky enough to sail all over the world, so... I’m ready to help you experience the magic at sea.
Get ready to experience the food, the shows, the characters, and the majesty of the Disney Cruise Line.
By booking with Dreams Unlimited Travel, you will get the same price as if you book directly with Disney, but...
You will get a Dreams shipboard credit depending on the price of your cruise. This is free money that you will be able to use on board;
We will also send you the exclusive Dreams gift basket before you depart with all sorts of fun things that you probably didn’t even know you needed;
Itinerary – I will pull all your information together in an itinerary. Your itinerary will provide you with details on your ports of call, information about your Disney ship, and primers on key parts of your cruise;
And I'll be with you every step of the way as you get ready for your magical Disney cruise… to answer questions… to help you plan… to give you insights about the ship.
Have questions? I'm happy to chat -- just let me know a good time.
Ready to set your course to a Disney cruise?
Awesome!
The easiest way to collect the information that I will need to book your cruise is via the Dreams Unlimited Travel Web site.
On the first page, you will select your cruise and sail date… And then just fill out the information..
On the second page at the very top, you will be asked: DREAMS UNLIMITED TRAVEL AGENT. If you select CHRIS VOROBEK from the pull down menu, your reservation will come directly to me;
NOTE - I will need all guests full names as it appears on your travel documents (passports or whatever you are using) and each person’s date of birth.
Get ready for adventure!
Whether that involves flying a broomstick in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, the high-powered thrills of the new VelociCoaster, or splashing around at the Volcano Bay water park, I’m here to chart your course for fun. I’ll help you find the perfect place to stay and navigate the myriad of options that the Universal Orlando Resort offers.
The Universal Orlando Resort currently has two theme parks:
- Universal Studios Florida
- Universal Islands of Adventure
- the Volcano Bay water 'theme' park
- and Universal CityWalk - a dining, entertainment and shopping district that sits between the two current theme parks.
Universal currently has eight hotels covering a spectrum of prices.
And Universal is currently building a third theme park - Universal Epic Universe, scheduled to open in 2025. Universal Epic Universe is located about two miles away from the current theme parks. The new park will double the size of the Universal Orlando Resort. I'm tracking the details about that new park here: YenSid.Travel/EpicUniverse.
While there is a lot of excitement about Epic Universe, now might be the best time to visit Universal as some people postpone their trips in anticipation of the new park -- and the current parks are awesome.
I was recently on the Dreams Unlimited Travel podcast to talk about booking a trip to the Universal Orlando Resort... and we discussed the benefits of staying at a Universal hotel.
I will get you the same price as if you book directly with Universal - and I will help you navigate the myriad of options.
Ready to start your adventure?
- The easiest way to get started is via Dreams Unlimited Travel's Universal booking form - just go here: https://yensid.travel/BookUniversalWithChrisV;
- There will be a pull down menu asking if you want to work with a specific Dreams agent - if you select CHRIS VOROBEK, the reservation will come directly to me;
- I'll get back to you as soon as I can by email with options.
- Want to chat? Let's set up a time - just go here.
Magic seeps through the Disneyland Resort - the Happiest Place on Earth.
Disneyland is the only Disney park where Walt Disney walked the streets. And it is truly the theme park that started it all when the gates opened in 1955. It is a place filled with magic and charm.
Let me help you plan your trip to the two theme parks at The Disneyland Resort -- Disneyland park, and Disney's California Adventure park.
There are also hotel options. You can stay at one of the three Disney hotels -- Disney's Grand Californian Resort & Spa, The Disneyland Hotel, or the newly renovated Pixar Place Hotel... or one of the Disneyland 'good neighbor' hotels.

The 8th ship in the Disney Cruise Line fleet... Setting sail from Fort Lauderdale in November 2025.
Legends of epic proportions spring to life on board the Disney Destiny, the 8th ship in the Disney Cruise Line fleet. When iconic Disney, Pixar and Marvel heroes and villains meet, that’s where the magic happens. Setting sail on 4- and 5-night cruises from Fort Lauderdale to The Bahamas and Western Caribbean — beginning November 2025.
Get details about Disney Cruise Line itineraries for late 2025 through spring 2026 -- that's Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year, and Spring Break. There are adventures and relaxation in The Bahamas, the Caribbean, and the Pacific Coast... and there are bucket list itineraries through the Panama Canal, Hawai'i, a transatlantic journey, and a voyage across the Pacific to Polynesia, Australia and New Zealand.
Personally, I adore a New Year's Eve Disney Cruise - go sailing into the New Year... with fireworks at midnight, but also an early evening celebration for families... all with your Disney pals.
In 2023, we got to do a Disney Dream trip to Italy and Greece. Hear our trip report with the DCL Duo podcast here.
