Meet Kim

My journey began because I loved taking family vacations. Being a parent of two very active boys, this is how our family came together to enjoy each other without distraction. Many years later the boys are grow and this is still how we come together. When planning the vacation I realized how overwhelming it can be. Over the years with first hand knowledge, I learned how to make every dollar count and get the most out of our money. This is our mission with all of us here at You Can Fly Travels. We want to offer our guidance and money saving tips so all you have to do is focus on your family and making lifelong memories.

Meet Leilani

Aloha! I was 26 before I went to my first Disney park, not by choice, but oh what a wonderful experience it was! My husband and I took our firstborn to Disneyland on our way to Hawaii. It was the most magical experience ever! We were hooked from that point on and a few months later we went to WDW. I don’t even know how many times we’ve been to both coasts, but each time has been just as magical as the first. I still cry when I see the castles.

I have a wonderful husband that supports my Disney love! We have one princess and one pirate (both grown) & a little Buzz Lightyear. That Buzz is the joy of all our lives and we can’t wait to take him to WDW soon.

I can’t wait to help you with all things Disney! No question is too insignificant and no request too difficult. So dream big and let me help you experience the magic!

Aloha nui loa,
Leilani Pewit

Meet Natalie

Hey there I am Natalie! I feel in love with traveling at a young age thanks to my father who is an international airline pilot. I have traveled to most of the United States with my family and friends and have overall grown a passion for traveling and helping others make memories. At 19, I moved down to Orlando to work at Walt Disney World as part of the Disney College Program in entertainment costuming. During this time I feel in love with The Walt Disney World Company. I grew up visiting Disney World multiple times as a child however this was totally different. Getting an inside knowledge of how this company works made me passionate about Disney vacations. A year after my first college program ended I applied again. This time getting my dream role as a Jungle Cruise Skipper! Now as I am graduating college I am becoming a Travel Advisor where I get to help plan vacations to Disney experiences. I know the secrets, I know the tricks, and I know how to create lasting memories! I am excited to be apart of You Can Fly Travels and I would love to make your Disney dream vacations come true!

Meet Thyra

Hi! My name is Thyra!

My husband and I love traveling and making magical memories with our sweet girls. We had been to Disney several times, but it wasn’t until seeing the magic of Disney through my daughter’s eyes during her first WDW visit that we became hooked. Disney has been a huge part of our lives ever since. We are not only fans of Disney magic we also love the magic of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios. When I’m not wearing Mickey Ears walking down Main Street or casting spells in Diagon Alley, I’m researching deals and planning our next trip. Although, we love thrill rides and theme parks, we also enjoy cruising and relaxing on the beach. I guess it's the teacher in me that loves planning and organizing all things, especially vacations. Planning vacations, especially WDW trips, can be very overwhelming and stressful. I would love the opportunity to share my excitement for travel with you as we plan your dream vacation, stress free!

Meet Jen

Hi, My name is Jennifer I started traveling at a young age and have always had a sense of wonder. Traveling the world is really all I have ever wanted to do. My initial love started when my grandfather would take me along on his business trips. Disney was actually my very first travel experience. My grandfather added it to the agenda while on a business trip to Orlando. I will never forget the way I felt and I continue to feel that every time I visit a new place for the first time.

 In my early twenties, I started working with a company that allowed me to travel the world. In the last twenty years I have visited over twenty countries (most were on my own). I have worked at the Sandals resorts throughout the Caribbean, The Ritz Carlton in Maui, & Atlantis in the Bahamas just to name a few. I have also had the pleasure of spending time in London and cities throughout Italy. I live deliberately and make travel a priority. For me, it is not only an adventure but an education. I will celebrate my 45th Birthday in May. If things go as planned I will have seen all 50 states by the age of 50. I have five more to go!

 I love all travel but what I also love is getting to see others experience it as well. To me, you can have an adventure anywhere with any budget. If you want to lay on the beach uninterrupted, back pack through Europe, visit all the National Parks in the U.S.A, or take the kids to Disney, I would love to help you. 

If you are ready for the trip of your life, I am ready to help you plan it.

Meet Katelyn

Hello! My name is Katelyn and I’m currently a 3rd year pharmacy student in Omaha, NE. Prior to starting pharmacy school, I did the Disney College Program in Fall of 2017, where I was a World Famous Jungle Cruise Skipper. While I’ve loved Disney since I was a little girl, creating magic for others only made that love grow stronger! I learned the insider tips and tricks for a successful Disney vacation, visited numerous Disney hotels, dined at the best restaurants Disney has to offer, and experienced plenty of events and attractions. Disney will always hold a special place in my heart, because my fiancé, Ryan, and I got engaged in Animal Kingdom in Nov. 2020! I’ve planned countless Walt Disney World vacations for my family and friends and can’t wait to help you and your family create magical memories! Whether you want to travel to Disney World, Disneyland, Aulani, Disney Cruise Line or Adventures By Disney, I’m more than happy to work with you to customize the vacation of your dreams!

Meet Becky

Hi friends! I am Becky.. wifey to Thomas, mama bear to Davis Emory, an infertility warrior, ADVENTURER and MEMORY MAKER :)  Travel is my escape from the 8 to 5 grind and pressures of life. 

 My parents never hesitated to take me and my sisters on a trip as we were growing up and I have many memories from our travels. When I had my daughter it was important for me to offer her the same experiences. I travel about 50 to 70% for work (pre-Covid!) and have been so fortunate to bring her on my trips since she was six months old. At three years old she has logged over 30 flights and visited 10 states!

From Cape Cod to Napa Valley, Disney World to Disneyland, the sunny beaches of the gulf to Denver... I personally have covered a few miles. Two of my favorite trips have been: 

·       An 11-day journey from San Diego to San Francisco driving a convertible along Hwy 1 with many adventures along the way including skydiving, a Price is Right appearance, and a visit to Muir Woods

·       The first time we took Davis to Disney World (did you know kids are free until 3 years old?!). I will never forget the joy in her face, her jumping up and down, her laughter. There is still a bet out on how many tears I cried during that trip!

I can't wait to work with you on your dream vacation.. whether it's Disney, a family escape to the beach, or an exhilarating and action packed experience.  No detail is too small when it comes to making memories and I promise to make the occasion a memorable one for you!

Meet Diana

Hey Y'all, I'm Diana!  Mama to a wonderful three year old boy who is on the spectrum, and furmama to two sweet as can be mini Australian shepherds!  The hubby and I are self proclaimed travel enthusiasts, and we love taking our boy and furgirls everywhere with us!  Our favorite destinations are anywhere Sandals and Beaches can take us, but we love a great Rollercoaster or two at Universal and Disney!  Our most favorite vacation to date was to Sandals Barbados, but that may quickly change after a trip to Beaches Turks and Caicos this upcoming October!

Having a young child on the spectrum, it is of great importance that we travel places that are very sensory friendly!  We have so much experience with different theme parks and vacation destinations to help others with children on the spectrum or with sensory needs.  I am so excited to be able to share that knowledge with other families who have lived the struggle of finding a vacation or holiday destination that works for every single member of your family!

I hope I can truly help to make your family's dream vacation come true!
