Sound familiar?
Planning a Disney trip has become a part-time job
Disney is still the most magical place to take your family. Planning it is another story. Families tell us the same things again and again.
Too many decisions, in the wrong order
Resorts, tickets, park days, dining, Lightning Lane. Each one changes the others, and most families make them backwards.
Deadlines you did not know existed
Dining reservations open 60 days out. Lightning Lane opens days ahead. Miss a window and the thing you wanted is gone.
Hours of research that still feel like guessing
Forums, videos and blogs disagree, and half of it is out of date. You end up more confused than when you started.
Worry about overspending
A Disney trip is a big investment. Nobody wants to find out later that a discount came out or a cheaper option would have been better.
A vacation that feels like work
One parent ends up as the family's travel agent, glued to the app instead of watching the kids' faces at the castle.
No one to call when plans change
Flights move, kids get sick, the weather turns. Sorting it out alone on hold is the last thing you want.
Why we started
The difference between a good Disney trip and a great one is the planning
Mike Spampinato started Lifetime of Magic because he has lived that difference.
As a Disney dad, Mike learned the hard way what the guidebooks leave out: which order to book things in, when to set the alarm for dining reservations, how to pace a day with little ones, and where the real savings hide. More than 100 Disney vacations later, he plans trips for other families so they get the great version of their vacation the first time.
He is a graduate of Disney's College of Disney Knowledge training, and more than 25,000 people follow along on social media for his Disney planning tips.
Today Lifetime of Magic is a small team of Disney travel advisors who share one belief: your family should spend the trip making memories, not managing logistics.

Questions about Lifetime of Magic
What is Lifetime of Magic?
Lifetime of Magic is a Disney vacation planning company founded by Mike Spampinato, a Disney dad who has planned more than 100 Disney vacations. We help families plan and book Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Disney Cruise Line, Aulani and Adventures by Disney trips.
Does it cost more to plan a Disney vacation with you?
There is no separate planning fee for eligible bookings. When you book a trip through us, the travel suppliers, such as Disney, pay the agency a commission. That commission is what pays for our planning work, so it does not come out of your pocket. Prices for the same trip are the same whether you book through us or directly.
Is Lifetime of Magic part of Disney?
No. Lifetime of Magic is an independent travel planning company. It is not owned, operated or endorsed by The Walt Disney Company.
I already booked with Disney. Can you still help?
If you booked directly with Disney within the last 30 days and have not paid in full, you can usually move the booking to us for free. Your reservation number, price and payments made so far stay the same. See how it works.
