Travelers, in their own words

The best part of this work is hearing that a trip felt easy from start to finish. Here’s what a few travelers have said about planning with Elliott.

A few kind words

Every trip and every traveler is different — but the feeling tends to be the same. Less stress, fewer unknowns, and a vacation that fit the people taking it.

  • Elliott was great helping us plan an awesome trip to Walt Disney World! She provided us with all the information we needed to plan an affordable trip. We were able to set all the plans virtually to accommodate work schedules. When the time to travel came we had no problems. All of Elliott’s recommendations were great and we had a really fun trip!

  • Elliott was fabulous! She supported us in finding the right resort to meet our family’s needs, was extremely communicative, and took care of all the bookings from Hotel to dinners to park days! We are so thankful for her assistance and cannot wait to use her support in booking our next trip!

    Nadia · October 2026

  • Elliott couldn’t have come through enough. We had canceled our Hawaii cruise and then decided to go again and Elliott was still able to get our cruise and have us close to our friends on the ship. She was amazing at keeping me updated every step of the way!!! Thank you so much Elliott!!!!!!

    Carl · September 2026

  • Elliot was so incredibly helpful! My dad surprised us with a Disney trip for Christmas. I emailed Elliot and she got to work and immediately saved us money. My dad is disabled and she provided so much information and links for videos and more to help make his stay just as comfortable. We had an amazing time! Besides from my husband and I having already been discussing returning next year before we left for our trip. When we returned home my dad was already considering another trip! We are grateful for all of Elliot help and look forward to more trips with her in the future!

    Lauren · August 2026

  • This was our first Disney trip as a couple and Elliott made it a breeze! From start to finish she helped with questions, quotes, reminders… You name it, she made it happen! This was my 4th time booking a trip with Elliott and every time she crushes it! I tell all of my family and friends to use her as a travel agent!!

    Melanie · June 2026

  • Elliott was a wonderful resource and travel agent for our first trip to Disney (2 adults, 1 toddler). She had valuable insight regarding traveling with toddlers and managing Disney with a toddler. She had great recommendations and presentation regarding choosing a resort to stay at on property. She was able to book all our dining reservations and lightning lane reservations which we truly appreciated. We will 100% be using Elliott for all future Disney travel!

    Annmarie · May 2026

  • My husband and I wanted to take our two children to Universal for the first time, and didn’t know anything about the park(s) since it had been at least 20 years since we went to Disney as children ourselves. We knew that it was going to be overwhelming to try and plan this vacation, so we chose Elliott to help us with the planning process. She made everything easier to understand, and helped us with choosing the things that were most important to us in this vacation. There were a few times we made some changes to our plans and wants, and without hesitation she took care of it quickly. Elliott advised us to reach out to her with any questions or issues while we on vacation and she even checked in immediately when the vacation was over with. I would highly recommend her for any family or friends needing a travel agent, as she was knowledgeable about this particular destination and it made it less stressful for us!! Thank you so much Elliott!! The trip was EPIC!

    Jess · April 2026

  • Just got back from our first Disney Cruise on the Disney Dream and I can’t say enough amazing things about Elliott! From the very beginning, everything was handled seamlessly every detail, every question, every little “what if” I had was taken care of with patience and expertise. Because of her, we were able to truly relax and enjoy the magic without stressing over logistics. She made sure we had the best experiences, kept us informed every step of the way, and went above and beyond to make this trip unforgettable for our family.

    Emily · March 2026

  • We reached out to Elliott after a friend recommended using a travel agent, and we are so glad we did. We did not have a specific destination in mind—just a few ideas—and Elliott quickly sent multiple options across our budget to ensure we would find the perfect fit. She suggested trying a Sandals resort, and we are so thankful for that recommendation. We ended up choosing Sandals Grande St. Lucian, and we couldn’t speak more highly of the experience! Elliott’s organization and communication made our entire trip feel effortless. A huge help was her sending us the online entry form for St. Lucia ahead of time—we filled it out early and avoided a very long line at the airport. We cannot wait to work with her again in the future!

    Megan · December 2025

  • Our experience working with Elliot was superb! She sent us a very detailed variety of options that all fit our budget. She also gave us insight and advice at every turn of our planning. The flights, transit, resort stay, and overall experience were seamless. The trip was exactly what we had envisioned, and we look forward to working with Elliot again in the future!

    Adam · November 2025

  • We planned a five day trip with Elliott to Punta Cana. She made all of our room reservations as well as our airport transfer requests. She was able to answer all of our questions in a timely manner. After booking, she sent us a link to our itinerary and all of our travel documents. This was a great help in being able to refer to all of the details of our trip. Because of her attention to detail, our trip went smoothly and we had a wonderful experience. We also knew that we could contact her at any time with questions or concerns. We would highly recommend her!

    Brian · November 2025

  • Elliott did a great job in planning a complicated, multi-family trip to Disney World. She helped secure the right rooms at a Deluxe Resort where availability was limited and then helped with all other Disney-related plans from parks and lightning lane passes to dining and everything in between. I’ve always prided myself in figuring out everything myself for trips, but never again! We will definitely use Elliott and her top-notch service for future adventures.

    Sara · August 2025

  • We recently visited Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, and the new Epic Universe park—and it was a trip to remember! Our boys had an absolute blast, and the resort was beautiful, comfortable, and incredibly accommodating. But what truly made the difference was our travel agent, Elliott Hogan at Hakuna Travels. She was the bomb! From arranging seamless private transportation to recommending the perfect resort, every detail was covered. She had everything prepared for us and made sure we were completely ready before we even left. Thanks to Elliott, we had a stress-free, fun-filled vacation that we’ll never forget. If you’re planning a trip and want someone who goes above and beyond—Elliott is the one to call. Highly recommend!

    Selina · July 2025

  • Elliott’s support through planning and travel truly made our trip to Disneyland one to remember. She was able to walk us through accommodations and travel choices, provide reservations for transfers, and give us the information needed to make this our own, special vacation. We will not hesitate to work with Elliott for travel in the future.

    Michelle · July 2025

  • Elliott Hogan was recommended to us by a friend. We contacted her and she got right down to work. We went on a Scenic River Cruise in Europe and visited 6 countries along the way. Elliott gave us choices o flights, hotels before/after our cruise, as we extended our stay. She set up our cruise reservation, first activities on ship, travel insurance, as well as, transportation to/from ship/hotels. Everything happened right on schedule and she gave us a very detailed itinerary. Elliott was available while we traveled, if we had any questions. She even left us a little surprise upon our arrival on the ship. This was our first time we traveled to Europe, so she advised us about what we needed to do to prepare. Elliott is professional, efficient, thorough, friendly and an excellent travel agent. All we had to do is follow the plan. We had the most fantasia time traveling and didn’t have to stress about making the plans. We highly recommend Elliot Hogan as your travel agent.

    Nancy · May 2025

  • Elliott helped my family and I plan a trip to Universal Orlando and was SUPER knowledgeable about the hotels and parks. We had a lot of questions and she either knew the answers, or was able to get them for us. I would 100% recommend booking with Elliott and will be doing so again in the future.

    Josh · April 2025

  • Elliott is an excellent travel agent. She knows all the ins and outs of travel, so when hiccups occurred, like our return flight being delayed and then cancelled, she was an excellent resource for finding a new flight and making last minute changes. The cruise ship she recommended was wonderful and we all had a great time. I will definitely contract with her for all my future travel needs!

    Brian · April 2025

  • This was our third vacation booking with Elliott. Our first was a Disney trip, our second was a Disney/Universal combo trip, and our most recent trip was a Universal only trip. We keep coming back to Elliott because of many reasons. First, she truly listens to your vision for what you want your vacation to be and respects the budget. She gives a variety of options that fit with your vision so that you can customize the vacation that works for you. Second, she is always available to answer any and every question that comes up during the vacation planning process. She is also very quick with her responses. Third, Elliott puts together a well organized vacation portfolio that lays out every detail of your trip, which minimizing stress. Finally, Elliott checks in before the trip to make sure there are no last minute questions or concerns, makes sure that you know how to reach her during your trip in case of any unexpected “hiccups”, and after your trip to hear all about it and make sure everything went off without a hitch! We will always use Elliott for our vacation planning and recommend anyone else working with her as well!

    Catherine · January 2025

  • Elliott booked us at the Iberostar Selection Paraiso Lindo for a family friendly all-inclusive vacation. It was a great trip with so many kid-friendly activities available. Elliott was great to work with- she really listened to the needs of our family and provided us with excellent hotel options. It was great to have someone’s opinion I could trust! Thank you again!

    Emily · January 2025

  • Elliot was absolutely amazing in every aspect of planning and implementing our Disneyland Family vacation! She made the process of everything SO easy! From booking our trip, to getting our rooms connecting, booking our park days, character breakfast, and more! Everything was done by her and set up so it was ready before we got there! She answered all of our questions and concerns right away and was just there anytime we needed her! We will definitely be using her again in the future no doubt! Best experience I have ever had in travel planning! Cannot thank her enough!

    Jackie · October 2024

  • I’ve had the pleasure of working with Elliott two times to plan Disney Vacations. Each time she has gone above and beyond. Elliott made sure that our rooms were next to each other’s. She called to confirm requests that we had. Elliott made our dinner reservations for us this last time as well. We asked a lot of questions about linking accounts and other logistics for the most recent friend trip, and Elliott was always quick to respond and was extremely helpful. Payment was a breeze with the system she had set for us. I’m so thankful for her help!

    Samantha · June 2024

  • Elliott was fantastic from the very start. She provided multiple resort options that fit what we were looking for. Then she stayed in communication throughout the entire process and made some great recommendations to enhance our trip. I can’t thank Elliott enough for planning our family vacation. I look forward to trusting Elliott plan our next vacation!

    Andrew · December 2023

  • Elliott Hogan at Hakuna MaTravels was amazing. She is so knowledge about all things Disney and so helpful and patient with the planning process. Elliott took away all the stress of planning a Disney trip for 11 people. She was professional, answered any and all questions the moment we asked (and sometimes before we knew what to ask) and did so much behind the scenes so that we had the best days. She even was in contact and available while we were on the trip. It was like she was right there with us. From the beginning of the trip to even after we returned, Elliott was in contact. I have already recommended her to multiple people. Our trip was filled with priceless memories and I can’t thank her enough! Hakuna Matata really does mean no worries! Thank you Elliott!

    Dawn · June 2023

  • Elliot was easy to get in contact with, and very open to all the uninformed questions I asked about how Disney works! She never made me feel like I was a bother or hassle. She is also super detailed and organized, which helped when she sent us our itinerary! I’ve already name dropped her to a few clients and coworkers!

    Donna · June 2023

  • This was our first Disney vacation – Elliot was always so helpful and responsive every time we had questions/concerns. She made our trip effortless and so fun. I will definiely be returning for our future trips!

    Caitlin · April 2023

  • Elliott took the stress out of planning a major Disney World vacation. She was timely on requests and really made our vacation one for the ages! When we go to Disney World again we will be working with Elliott again for sure! Thanks Elliott!

    Zach · April 2023

  • Elliott was wonderful. She was very responsive with all my questions. She reminded me of things I probably would have forgotten. You can tell she truly loves helping people plan their vacations. We booked a trip to Disneyworld, which I have been to over 15 times in my life. With all the changes since COVID, I had so many questions and Elliott was so helpful. I felt very prepared for my trip and we had an amazing time. She helped put my mind at ease and it worked! I would highly recommend working with Elliott and I will continue to use her services.

    Laura · November 2022

  • Elliott’s experience and expertise with Disney trips made our trip seamless, efficient and perfectly planned out. She helped us maximize our time there and get the most out of our trip. From transportation to making sure our grandchildren got to have the time of their lives and see everything. From start to finish there is no one better. Her organization and understanding of how Disney functions on a daily basis eliminated any stress that we may have had for such an important trip.

    Steve · October 2022

  • Best travel agent we’ve ever worked with. Very efficient, detail orientated and timely response. Makes booking vacation super easy and seamless arrangements.

    Kristi · October 2022

  • We have worked with Elliott for our past 3 Disney trips, and every single trip has been wonderful! I happened upon Elliott’s page on Instagram, and as someone who has never used a Disney travel rep before, I was immediately intrigued! She was so helpful through the whole process, and now, I can’t imagine booking a trip without her! She got us amazing deals at both Disney World and Disneyland, helped us deal with COVID rescheduling, and has continually impressed us. I suggest her to everyone I know now 🙂 Thanks for being wonderful, Elliott!

    Jenna · October 2022

  • Elliot was an absolute save and grace for this trip! Disney can be so overwhelming with the amount of plans needed but Elliot was on top of everything, making it a seamless trip on our end! Last minute I asked her to change multiple things and she was always kind, quick and so understanding!
