Hi! I'm Lauren Vandewalle. I am a mom to 4 wonderful and crazy children spanning the ages of 4-13. My husband Daniel and I have been married for 15 years. Planning a vacation for 6 people can be a lot of work and also tricky, but I have always LOVED doing it. We travel with our extended family often and on numerous occasions was told "You should be a travel agent" because I usually answered everyone's questions as I look into EVERYTHING when I plan!
With 4 kids I needed a job I could work from home, or on the go, at school pick up line, in waiting rooms at doctor appointments... the list goes on! So I decided why not take what I love to do for my family and help others plan their vacations and help them navigate them as smoothly as possible. Thus, Crafted Magic Travel was created!
I understand that your vacation is a cherished and valuable time to spend with your loved ones, and I will strive to make every moment of it unforgettable. Currently I am functioning as an independent agent for a host agency Best Day Ever Vacations. Myself, and their team of experienced travel experts, are dedicated to helping you plan and customize your dream vacation, tailored to your preferences and budget. Having a host agency allows me to stay up to date on education and offers as well as giving me a ton of people to turn to for expertise in helping plan the best vacation for YOU!
My specialization in Disney vacations, Universal, Royal Caribbean, and Sandals/Beaches Resorts allows me to provide you with insider knowledge and exclusive access to the best deals and packages available. I can also book most all cruise lines (Celebrity, Carnival, Virgin Voyages, Princess, SilverSeas, Oceania, Norwegian)! Whether you’re a returning fanatic, first-time visitor, or looking to celebrate a special occasion, I can help you plan a trip that suits your needs and exceeds your expectations.
I will strive to provide exceptional customer service and attention to detail, from the moment you contact me to the end of your trip. My goal is to make your vacation planning process seamless, stress-free, and enjoyable. I believe that every day of your vacation should feel like I crafted up some magic and I strive to make that a reality for my clients.
I am also a proud autism mama! One of my sons is autistic and this adds a whole other level to planning trips. I have experience with the DAS pass at Disney World and can help give some personal guidance to others with disabilities, especially for those neurodivergent travelers!
Thank you for considering Crafted Magic Travel for your next Disney, Universal, cruise or all inclusive vacation! I look forward to helping you craft magical memories that will last a lifetime!
