Liz Cortez, Disney travel advisor with When You Wish Travel, in front of Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom

Hi, I’m Liz!

Travel Advisor, Disney Specialist

My love for Disney began over 24 years ago when we took our oldest son on his very first Disney vacation. From that moment on, Disney became a special part of our family’s story, and that love has only grown over the years. I love experiencing the magic of the parks, but even more, I love helping other families create those same unforgettable memories. There’s truly nothing more rewarding than seeing others fall in love with Disney just as we did!

Throughout the years, I’ve had the opportunity to explore Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Aulani, and Disneyland Paris, as well as many incredible destinations beyond Disney, including the Bahamas, Mexico, Hawaii, New York, Colorado, Fiji, and destinations throughout Europe.

I love using my firsthand travel experiences, personal knowledge, and passion for planning to help others create vacations that are memorable, seamless, stress-free, and filled with a little extra magic. Whether it’s a Disney adventure or a getaway somewhere new, my goal is to make every trip special from the planning stages to the memories made along the way!

My favorite trip: Hawaii! I love Disney, but the beaches are so beautiful and relaxing. I also love the Hawaiian culture and food, and you don’t even need a passport!
