Travel Advisor: Courtney Galeano

Favorite destination?

Walt Disney World

Why is that your favorite destination?

Growing up my family was always big into Disney. My first movie in a theatre was The Lion King and I even worked there in 2012 when I was in college as an intern in the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. We still go twice a year and I even compete in their Princess Half Marathon Weekend every year.

What destination is on your bucket list?

Japan and South Korea

Why is that destination on your bucket list?

The culture, the food, the history, the architecture. All of it is so interesting!

What destinations have you visited?

Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Universal Orlando, Bermuda, St. Thomas, St. Marteen, Bahamas and Disney Cruise

Why should someone book their vacation with you?

I love to travel and visit places. I really enjoy getting off the beaten path and really interacting with locals to see where their favorite places are. I believe we are always learning, so why not make it fun? I’m also part of the “Magic Makers” here at AAA, which means that I am an expert at planning Disney and Universal vacations! If you need “race-cation” ideas for Disney, I’m your girl!

What travel industry certifications have you earned?

Disney College of Knowledge, Universal, Hawaii Destination Expert, Japan and Korea Advanced Master's Program, Royal Caribbean University and NCL University Masters, Princess/Cunard Academy Commodore, Holland America Platinum, Ama Waterways, Viking Cruises, and Uniworld River Cruises, Trafalgar Tours, Insight Vacations

One thing you'd like our members to know about you?

I’m a huge history buff and an athlete so I love any vacation that I can combine those two passions - bonus if the location has horseback riding. I used to compete in Equestrian in college and made it all the way to regionals. I hope one day to be able to own a horse.
