I had never dealt with an independent travel advisor before this “wild hair” trip. I am an elderly woman who loves to travel and decided it would be a wonderful trip to go from Texas to Greenland. Little did I dream what all was involved with airlines, travel companies, hotels, etc. Then Lana came into my life. She made it seem so seamless and easy to do—never mind she had to deal with travel companies in Denmark (consider the time difference) as well as domestic airlines, etc. In just a few days I was ready with a wonderful itinerary and great flights. She never acted like I was just another number on her agenda; I felt like we had known each other for years. She was as excited about my trip as I was. Lana, thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this planning so easy. She’s first on MY list when my next “ wild hair” trip comes up!

 Thank you so much for finding us a nice resort for our 40th anniversary. The resort had so much to do, like jet skiing, fishing, zip lining, 4 wheeling, horseback riding etc… Also many restaurants inside the resort. A beautiful setting with many different pools to swim in or just lay beside and enjoy. If we go on another trip outside the US we will definitely let you book our next trip. Thank you Miss Lana and Tommy for a great experience and memories.

HI! I'm a little slow in getting back to you.  We had a wonderful time on the cruise and I believe Lynn and Tim would go again.  The ship was beautiful. There were some tiny glitches with the flow of people when using the buffet and they really needed to use some bigger locations for some of their entertainment.

We were unable to see 2 of the shows because we didn't make reservations but there was still plenty to do.  The restaurants were good but again in the complimentary ones there seemed to be some confusion when it came to seating.  All in all we had a great trip. Thanks for everything!!!

Lana and Tommy assisted me and my family of 5 with a Caribbean Cruise in April. What we liked is their ability to fully understand our ADA/Accessiblity needs and more than deliver within the trip plan. First, you should understand that our son has muscular dystrophy and is confined to a power wheelchair. They made sure of everything: 1. the room we were in had enough space for a chair. He could even roll out onto the balcony of the ship. 2. the Shower was one of the most usable of any we have experienced including hotels. 3. the dining table was of the right height. 4. the pools had lifts. 5. there were ramps on/off the ship. 6. Even the excursions were coordinated. My son personally built confidence in himself because of this trip. The price was good, and the responsiveness of Lana was better than anyone could ever want. I wholeheartedly recommend these folks for all of your travel needs. Trust me, they will take care of you better that you can take care of yourself. I'm sold on travel agencies because of them. I'm not exaggerating.

Thought I would update you-one if the best trips we've had!  The weather was incredible, nice breeze blowing everyday-yesterday was supposed the hottest and was still fantastic!  The crowds were really great.  We decided to do HS and AK on the same day and just spend our last day in MK.  We didn't rope drop to see how it would be-we walked straight into Frontierland at 9 and walked right onto Big Thunder and sat down on the ride without stopping-definitely questioning spending an hour at the rope and speed walking to the ride😳😂.  We pulled out of the hotel at 5:57 this morning and are headed to Texas-should arrive home by 10 tonight.  Craig and I both agreed this has been one of our better trips🥰

 And our "vintage" bands still worked😘

 I finally went through mail TODAY!  That was so sweet of you-THANK YOU!  Y'all are great travel agents and friends and we appreciate all you do for us🥰

 Lana did such an amazing job planning our trip to Disney and Universal. She ensured all details were covered and that we took advantage of every discount. She really went above and beyond and answered all questions 24/7 even those we had during our trip. My family made so many great memories.

Hi!  I apologize for not texting you back sooner; things have been absolutely crazy lately. But I wanted to share all the exciting details of our recent trip!

 First of all, everything was fantastic! The kids had an absolute blast at Disney,  and the autograph books were a huge hit. We got several autographs, and it made their experience even more special. Thank you so much for sending them our way!

 The hotel, Clarion, was perfect. It was conveniently located within walking distance, and our room had a view of the fireworks, Every night, we got to enjoy the fireworks from a distance, which was truly magical. It was such a treat!

Now, about the lanyard and pin... Unfortunately, we didn't manage to get them. But it's totally fine, really. We had so much fun that it didn't even matter. The kids were occupied with all the attractions and characters, and that made the trip absolutely memorable.

 Lego Land,  it was okay, I must admit that I had higher expectations. But hey, the kids loved it, and that's what matters the most, right? We all had a great time exploring and building with Legos. It was a unique experience for sure!

 And last but not least, Universal Studios was absolutely mind-blowing! Believe it or not, my husband and I enjoyed it even more than the kids did. There were so many thrilling rides and attractions that we couldn't resist. It was truly an unforgettable experience.

 Overall, our trip was amazing, filled with laughter, joy, and unforgettable memories. We couldn't have asked for a better vacation.

I wanted to thank you again for all of your help! We are looking forward to planning our next trip – we are thinking Colorado...

Thank you so much for all of your help with our Disney Vacation. I would not have had as much fun (or sleep) if you had not been so helpful. Please see the below review and share away. ☺️

 Recently, my family of four was on a Disney World Vacation we booked with Lana Jarnagan @ Curated Travel Collection. We stayed at the Art of Animation Resort in a Family Suite (last-minute change Lana took care of for us) and absolutely loved the multiple beds and two bathrooms. We were at Disney World in January of 2021 and stayed at Yacht Club which was fabulous, but if you want more space Art of Animation's Family Suites are perfect. Our table service dining adventures included Cinderalla's Royal Table, Hollywood and Vine, and Coral Reef Restaurant. We loved them all, but Coral Reef was our favorite due to the amazing service Joshua from Reading, PA provided. We had a few hiccups during our trip which Lana assisted with quickly and professionally. She was always available via text to help answer any questions or concerns. I am definitely going to keep Lana with Curated Travel Collection in mind for our next family vacation.

Thanks again Lana,

The Yendrey Family

IF it had not been for Lana working so very hard our cruise to Cozumel would have never happened. Thank you Lana and Tommy for making this trip possible and helping this old lady to check off her bucket list. Love y'all

Lana and Tommy outdid themselves again!! We had such an amazing time on our Disneymoon 2 years ago that we contacted her to plan a trip to Universal Studios Orlando that we went on this past week! It was so much fun and a much needed escape from reality for a while! The Wizarding World of Harry Potter couldn’t have been more magical 10000% will always count on Lana and Tommy to plan our magical vacations!

We had such an amazing Honeymoon it was even more special because it was our first time going to Disney and definitely we did not want to leave. We enjoyed every single part of it since the time we landed. Planning a wedding was hard but having someone else plan the perfect honeymoon for you was worth the stress because when we got there we where able to relax. When we got to our resort at the Coronado Springs we where upgraded into a suite and the view was stunning totally worth it. Our favorite thing of all was making reservations at the Cinderella Royal Table the food was great and service was awesome not just that we got to meet Cinderella. Our Favorite Ride was Rise of The Resistance you got to experience it like if you where actually in the movie it was so awesome. We had a very magical Honeymoon and plan to go again soon we totally recommend them its much easier and stress free and when you get there you aren’t stressed about anything or booking any last minute details because everything is done for you.

Lana and Tommy planned our honeymoon back in August and made ALL of our dreams come true, despite the pandemic!! It was the most magical (and SAFE) Disney trip either of us had ever had! I still come home to my husband and pull out pictures from the trip and say “it was so magical!” She got us reservations at some of the BEST sites on property and even got us into Oga’s Cantina when reservations were booked for weeks! The trip literally could not have gone any better than it did! We want to go back in a few years and throw in a universal trip and you can bet we’ll be using Lana and Tommy again!

You’ve GOT to go with Lana and Tommy!! They’re going to make your Disney dreams come true, and more!!

I just wanted to send you my review from our trip to Disney this past week. It was truly magical!

We checked into our beautiful resort, The Riviera, and everyone was so helpful. Our room was extremely clean with even the remote control wrapped in plastic after being sanitized. Housekeeping came every other day to replace towels and take out the trash. Less contact with housekeeping was appreciated.

We started in Disney Springs where you can’t enter the area unless they take your temperature and then allow you thru. There are stores where they only allow so many and they strongly enforce the 6 foot rule. There are cast members helping you so less touch is on items for sanitary reasons at the store, World of Disney. We chose to eat at Paddlefish and it was delicious. Masks were worn by all and all tables were being cleaned and sanitized after each guest.

Next, we went to all the parks over 4 days, and each day amazed us at how clean everything was. Temperatures were taken each time we entered. Hand sanitizers after each ride were there along with cast members wiping down the rides. Disney really made it magical in us not worrying about how sanitized the parks would be when we saw it happen with our own eyes. Masks are STRICTLY enforced. There are signs everywhere saying if you don’t comply, you’ll be asked to leave.

We loved the parks being less crowded, for we got on more rides with less wait. Dining was wonderful with the characters, for they still interacted with us. Yes - we are still big kids!

I can’t wait to return in September, for I know it will be magical again! Thank you for all you do by sending tips and ideas in the packet you send us.

Disney During a Pandemic –

Things may be a little different, but there is still Magic to be had.  Lana and Tommy were very informative about what to expect during our visit to Disney World.  They prepared and walked us through the new park reservation system and got us all set for our adventure.

The Most Magical Disneymoon (COVID edition)

I want to start from the beginning. So let’s start with before COVID hit.

Lana had all of these amazing plans for our magical Disneymoon. When she asked what we were looking for in our trip, we said “adult Disney”, because we’d only ever gone with our large families as kids. So we wanted it all, dinner, drinks, rides, and experiences. We had just gotten married when COVID caused the country to shut down, and subsequently, Disney. Lana reaches out to us and spoke with us on a consistent basis during the entire shut down. We told her we still wanted to move on with our trip, so she kept moving on as well. She didn’t treat our trip any differently than if we were planning on going on a summer vacation under normal circumstances. In the planning process, we were faced with some decisions to make regarding certain experiences and resorts being closed indefinitely. Not only did Lana talk us through our concerns, but she replaced our lost experiences with something new. When we looked at our itinerary, we knew she still had a magical time planned out for us.

Fast forward to July when Disney announced it’s reopening. Disney reopened the second week in July and our trip was planned for the first week in August, which was our original date. She was honest and open with us with what we would most likely experience. Some of her team went on their trip to gather information about how Disney was handling the pandemic and their experience. She put together a very detailed description (in PowerPoint form!) describing their experience. She included the experience with rides and wait times, dining experiences, crowds, sanitation and social distancing, what it was really like wearing a mask in the Florida summer heat, and how the cast members handled safety protocols. We were THRILLED with what they had to share So we went forward with our trip and Lana pre-prepared an even MORE detailed itinerary for us to plan for the changes from COVID.

There’s a million more things I could say about our trip and how much Lana really did for us. The way I describe it to our family and friends is that it was the kind of trip that you want to sit down with them and show a slideshow sharing all of our memories shown in the photos. We had, literally, the most magical honeymoon we could’ve asked for, COVID or not. Lana made it happen. She made us a priority and it was obvious she wouldn’t let the pandemic get in our way. When I first met her at her Ears of Experience booth at a Christmas fair, she told me that all she does is Disney and all she wants to do is plan magical trips that hold cherished memories for a lifetime. I literally cannot believe how amazing our honeymoon was. Lana managed to get us into restaurants we absolutely loved- STK, Be Our Guest, Oga’s Cantina, Brown Derby- all of them amazing! We even got to experience the Food and Wine Festival, which was hands down one of the coolest things we’ve ever done! I have a hard time deciding my favorite part of our entire trip- it’s split between having a magical dinner in Beast’s Castle (we had the place to ourselves, so we enjoyed a nice little waltz under the gorgeous chandeliers) or living our childhood dreams joining the rebels in fighting the Empire on Batuu.

I literally cannot thank Lana enough for everything she did for us, every step of the way. Given the world was, and has been, in chaos… she gave us the magic we needed in our life that has given us the experience and memories of a lifetime.

My husband and I will be planning another trip back in a few years and we will most certainly be calling up Lana to give us another go around with the magic.

They did an excellent job helping us with our first trip to Universal Studios-got our tickets for a great price and had tons of helpful hints! Highly recommend and will use again!!

Hey-friend, wanted to thank y’all for the ticketing research and work y’all did for us!  We had THE BEST week-REALLY, REALLY liked US!  What a difference-with the express passes (WHY would anyone NOT purchase these) AND getting there “the before park opens option”, what a TREAT!  We LOVED WWHP and were able to do it multiple times.  We were blown away at how quickly we could get on rides compared to Magic Kingdom, etc.

We haven’t shoved Mickey to the side, but probably won’t ever go back to see Mickey without visiting US as well!  Such an incredible experience…thanks again!!

I will certainly be happy to give your name out and be calling on you again hopefully 2 years down the road when we go back.

The Jarnagans were awesome.  They answered all my questions, made all the reservations pursuant to my schedule, affordability parameters, and especially geared to my grandchildren’s ages.  The hotel, restaurants, and everything else we experienced were truly great.  I would recommend them to anyone else needing those types of services.

This past year, my husband and I celebrated his 75th birthday at Disney World.  Our week was so much fun, and made so easy for us by Tommy and Lana.  The trip from the Orlando airport to our accommodations at Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa (and return to Houston) was effortless with the complimentary Disney Resort baggage collection and transportation. Our accommodations were outstanding, with many amenities provided at the resort.  Because of their advice, based on their extensive experience, and their meticulous planning, we were able to get maximum experience and fun of the park during our 7-day stay. We followed their recommendations on events and dining and had some wonderful meals in great surroundings, with Sanaa in the Animal Kingdom at the top of our list.  Thanks to Tommy and Lana, from start to finish we had an effortless, wonderful, fun-filled week. We would definitely use their service on any Disney-related trip we might make in the future.

Wanted to send a BIG Thank You for making our Disney World trip a great time and experience.  You made it so easy and stress free for our 8 days in Florida and also celebrating my husband John’s 50th Birthday.

The lodging we had at Animal Kingdom Lodge – Kidani Village was Awesome the deluxe studio with the Savanna View was amazing.  It was great to look out the balcony and see all the different animals.  The room was great with a small kitchen, living room, dining room and the verandah overlooking the savanna to watch the animals. 

The Birthday celebration for John at the hotel restaurant the “Sanaa” was delicious and the Mickey Celebration birthday cake was really good.   It made the trip that extra special. 

The Fast Pass for the rides at the 4 different parks was great, we had no waiting in line and it was a fun time.  We loved all the parks we visited.  Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, Epcot and then Disney Springs.

The Meal Plan that we purchased for our trip was way worth the money and the amount we saved using the Meal Plan was great.  No other way to go to Disney World without a Meal Plan.   For the 8 days we were there it was a magical time and we had a blast and felt like kids. 

Thank you so much for making our travel plans for Disney World, we could not have done it without your expert ears.

 Always,
