Lisa Edwards

About Lisa Edwards

Lisa lives in Indiana with her husband and 2 little princesses. Before having children, she and her husband were fortunate to travel overseas and visit many ancient roman and Greek sites. They were even able to take in the wonder of the Pyramids of Giza. With two little kids, they decided to temporarily focus on stateside vacations. Converting her husband into a Disney fan was easy as pie once he saw his oldest daughter run to Mickey with open arms at the age of 3. Since then, they have become annual passholders and each time they visit Disney World, they stay at a different resort & try new dining venues. One of her favorite parks is Epcot especially during the Food & Wine Festival and Flower & Garden Festival. It’s a wonderful way to teach her daughters about different cultures by trying new foods and exploring the countries around the World Showcase. Whether an all-inclusive getaway to Jamaica, a theme park experience (Disney World, Disneyland, Disneyland Paris, Universal Orlando, Universal Hollywood), or sailing away to horizons; Lisa wants to take your vacation to the next level & create those unforgettable memories.

Piece of tape

Here's what our clients are saying

"We were in for a real treat when Kim O’Neill was assigned to our family to help plan our vacation. Kim helped us navigate the various resorts, which ones provided the best amenities for what we needed, how to handle one family members extreme food allergies, booking dining reservations 60 days in advance, understanding the new MagicBands, booking tours, booking limo service, which stroller rental company to use and general advice that was timely and appreciated and giving us a timely heads up when Bibbidi opened back up to secure our reservations. The key thing was that we wanted the kids to have a blast and not know that there were a million different planning decisions happening in the background before the trip. I think we can all say with a resounding - YES - that the trip was a smashing success. In no small part to Kim and the services provided by BeOurGuest. The only downer is that we will no longer be in constant communication with Kim now that our trip has ended, but we can’t wait until our next trip and to use Kim and BeOurGuest again! We highly recommend BeOurGuest and Kim for both first time and long time Disney vacationing families!"

Brian R

"A+ for Laney! We had a wonderful experience with Laney and Be Our Guest Vacations. I usually plan our Disney trips myself but decided to use an agent this time and I’m so glad we did! She was responsive and kept track of our timeline so we didn’t have to! She was able to secure our preferred hotel, dining reservations, park passes and even a VIP tour (THE highlight of our trip!). We will be sure to recommend Laney to our family and friends and definitely will be using her for future trips. Thanks again Laney!"

Dannielle C

"Our travel professionals offer personalized service customized to your needs, because there's no such thing as a “one size fits all” vacation. We plan your trip with the thoroughness and enthusiasm that we would if we were planning it for our own families."

Erika Y

"Thank you so much to Courtney Trying to plan the ultimate trip to Disney World from Australia was so overwhelming as a first time visitor. Courtney lead us through the process each step of the way. Her advice and assistance with booking dining and fast passes was worth its weight in gold! She was very patient when answering ALL my questions (and there were many) and we always received a prompt response, given we had such a gap in time zones. Our arrival to Disney was seamless and everything we had asked for was on our Mickey bands. Our family holiday was made all the easier cause of Courtney’s hard work. You really did make it magical for us!"

Jessie G

"A big THANK YOU to Lindsay G. for helping me plan our trip to Disney. I had never used a travel agent and she was so patient! Lindsay communicated with me throughout the entire process, finding discounts and promotions, truly helping our family have the most magical experience possible. She took the time to understand our family dynamic and gave suggestions that fit our needs. I will definitely be asking Lindsay for help with our next trip!"
