When I first started Magic Lamp Vacations in 2017, the dream was rather simple — to help families save time, save stress, and save hassle when planning their Disney and Universal destination vacations.

I intentionally started with Disney and Universal destinations because they were (and continue to be) destinations that I’m extremely passionate about because of a deeply personal connection. During the most difficult times of my life — namely, when I was coming out in my twenties — these destinations brought me incredible joy and momentary relief from depression.

But as we’ve grown over the last four years, many of the families we’ve planned for have come back to us and asked… Can you plan our Hawaii vacation? What about a wine and cheese tour of Western Europe? Would you be able to organize a group trip for a TikTok star’s fans to Australia? Yes, yes, and yes.

Maybe I should have announced it sooner, but I wanted to keep it a secret for as long as possible while we were “earning our ears,” learning more about other destinations and discovering which vendors and tour operators had the best reputations and had the most to offer you — our valued clients.

That being said, while our website still needs a bit of an update to reflect all the exciting new destinations we can now take you, I can assure you that if it’s someplace on planet earth, we can get you there.

For those planning a honeymoon, anniversary trip, or a romantic getaway, we’ve partnered with the best all inclusive resorts in the world: AMResorts, Sandals, and Excellence.

For those wanting to explore Europe, Asia, Australia, or even South or Central America, we’ve partnered with Kensington Tours, Trafalgar, CIE, and more — in addition to our continued partnership with Adventures by Disney.

For those wanting to experience ocean cruising or river cruising — we’ve partnered with Royal Caribbean Cruise Line, Princess, Celebrity, Viking, Ama Waterways, and more!

While the destinations might be different, and while we might have a variety of vendors and tour operators to fit any budget, our core values remain the same — to save you time, save you stress, and save you hassle.

And yes, create extra magic too.

We’ll always be the Travel Planning Genies.

You make the wishes. We grant them.

With love and gratitude,

Brandon Foster
