There is nothing more satisfying to me than to hear my clients say: "DIANE - THIS WAS THE BEST DISNEY VACATION WE HAVE EVER HAD. WE WERE SO INFORMED EVERY STEP OF THE WAY - AND IT WAS SO EASY. THANK YOU - WE CAN'T WAIT TO GO AGAIN OR SAIL ON THE DISNEY CRUISE LINE." Diane feels that the Magic of Disney will continue from generation to generation, as long as there is 'PIXY DUST". 2.
