Meet our Hosts
In Season 1, our Orlando experts Sammie and Sarah showed you the ropes. Season 2 brings in Amy, Freya, Maisy and Sophie, with specialists from our sales team dropping in to share their best tips! Some have been to Orlando more than 30 times, others have stayed at every Disney and Universal hotel, and all of them have the ride photos to prove it.
Amy
- Social Media and Influencer Lead
Amy's Disney story started at six months old and hasn't stopped since: 25+ trips to Disneyland Paris (she's honestly lost count), nine to Orlando, two to California and a whole summer working at Walt Disney World.
"My two biggest passions in life are creating content and the Disney Parks."
Freya
- Marketing Campaigns Executive
Freya caught the Orlando bug aged two and has been back 13 times since, including a stint working in Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room at Magic Kingdom. She's also clocked up four trips each to Paris, New York and Dubai.
"I've always been passionate about two things: theme parks and travel."
Maisy
- Influencer & Community Marketing Executive
Before joining us, Maisy worked at Merlin Entertainments, so she's done Chessington, Thorpe Park and London's Merlin attractions 30+ times each. Her heart belongs to PortAventura World, though: six visits and counting, and she might just be its biggest fan.
"I get to spend my days talking about something I truly enjoy."
Sammie
- Direct Sales Agent and Training Specialist
Sammie has been to Orlando 34 times and stayed at every single Disney and Universal hotel. She's planned trips for everyone from newborns to 80-somethings and is our go-to for accessible holidays, so whatever your question, she's got the answer.
"It is an honour to play a role in a customer's holiday."
Sarah
- Direct Sales Agent
Sarah is a proud Disney Adult, Disney Vacation Club member and Walt Disney World annual passholder who's stayed at all but three of its hotels. After-hours events, seasonal parties, tours: if it's an add-on, she's the one to ask.
"I get to talk about my favourite places all day long."
