Traci Johnsen
One of Traci’s earliest memories is a trip to
Disneyland at age 5 where she asks her mom what she
is going to wear to meet Mickey Mouse! The memories
continued with a magical honeymoon 10 years ago to
Walt Disney World. The rest is history so to
speak. Traci has traveled to Walt Disney World 8
times over the past 10 years. She has stayed a
variety of resorts including the Wilderness Lodge,
Pop Century, Fort Wilderness Cabins, and Port
Orleans French Quarter. She has also visited
Disneyland and sailed on the Disney Wonder. She
still dreams of the chocolate soufflé at Palo’s
onboard the ship! Over the past five years, she has
shared the magic with her two small children. Traci
enjoys helping families make magical memories by
planning their Disney vacation as if it is was her
own.
Traci is an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner, a

obsession for Tim and Jenny Sayler. Four years later,
they have made 10 trips to WDW and have stayed in 8

already made her third Disney trip by the age of 19
months! The Saylers have visited during nearly every

Disney vacations is definitely her Dream Job!
