Brandon is what Disney calls an ‘insatiable kidult’—a grown-up who never quite grew up. He still remembers his very first trip to Disney World where he had to chase down the White Rabbit for a picture (because he was running ‘quite late’) and the Queen of Hearts motioned ‘off with his head’ during the Main Street Electrical Parade. (He’s still a little scared of the Queen of Hearts.)
He had been planning Disney World®, Disneyland®, and Disney Cruise Line® trips for family members and friends for a long time and realized over time how much he loved doing it… So he decided to found his own travel agency—Magic Lamp Vacations!
Contact Brandon to make sure your family—whether it’s just you and your ‘bae’ or three generations’ worth of Disney fans—gets the most magic out of your Disney vacation.

Si, Hablo Epsanol
Jessy was born and raised in Puerto Rico. Her first trip to Walt Disney World® was when she was twelve years old—a surprise gift before she entered Middle School. That’s when she fell in love with all things Disney (especially 101 Dalmatians).
When her family decided to move to the United States, they chose Florida for two reasons: (1) family and (2) to be closer to the magic of Disney!
Her husband (Prince Charming) and three children take monthly trips with her to the Walt Disney World® Resort as annual passholders, alternating between the different parks and various seasonal festivities. She even took the Keys to the Kingdom Tour!
In addition to her trips to Walt Disney World®, Jessy has also experienced Disney Cruise Line® first-hand, having sailed on the Disney Dream twice.
She loves making memories with her family. For her, the most important thing is to create memories for her children—ones that they can pass on to their own children.
She’s excited to be a part of Magic Lamp Vacations® and ready to grant your vacation wishes!

Laura grew up and lived in the Houston, Texas area with her hubby and three (now-grown) kids until she recently moved to Tampa. What a selling point to be closer to the mouse!
She was eight years old when she met Mickey Mouse for the first time while on a trip to Disneyland with her parents, and her love of all things Disney began!
Her first trip to Walt Disney World was during the 15th Anniversary Celebration, which naturally led to many, many more trips with family and friends, including one unique trip via FaceTime to Disneyland Paris thanks to her older daughter—and even a “Flat Stanley” style Universal/Disney trip. Talk about packing light!
Now Laura is in the Tampa area, she and her husband make several trips each month to WDW for all of the festivals, seasonal parties, and holiday celebrations, including the VIP behind the scenes tours which she absolutely LOVES! Her personal favorite is the Keys to the Kingdom Tour at the Magic Kingdom.
Laura’s passion for all things Disney led her to be the go-to person for all her family and friends when it comes to planning Disney vacations, so it only made sense that her enthusiasm for helping others plan the vacation of their dreams would lead her to join Magic Lamp Vacations® as a Travel-Planning Genie.
She can’t wait to grant your family’s Disney vacation wishes with the same level of commitment and concierge-level service that she provides personal family members.

For Juan, Disney holds a special place in his heart, thanks to his father’s love for the enchanting stories. From a young age, the magic of Disney has been interwoven into the fabric of his life. The Lion King has left an indelible mark, reminding him to embrace his identity and the lessons of resilience and courage found within.
Juan’s love of Disney first began when he set foot in Disney World at the age of 12. The wonder and excitement from that trip left an everlasting impression. Fast forward 21 years, and he had the incredible opportunity to return to Disney World with his extended family for a monumental reunion. Recreating cherished old photos and capturing new memories was a testament to the power of travel and the enduring magic of Disney.
Traveling has always been a cornerstone of Juan’s life. As a child, it was an annual adventure that ignited his curiosity and filled his heart with anticipation for the unknown. These experiences laid the foundation for his passion for exploration and the desire to create new adventures for others.
In later years, his love for cruising opened a gateway to extraordinary experiences. Sailing across the Mediterranean, he was captivated by the awe-inspiring beauty, rich history, and vibrant cultures. The memories created during these voyages remain etched in his heart, and it sparked an insatiable appetite for new travel adventures.
Juan invites you to “Invite me on an enchanting adventure where dreams come true and new memories are made. Together, let’s embark on planning voyages filled with wonder, laughter, and the joy of discovering new horizons. Contact me today, and let the magic begin!”
