Stacey Beck

Stacey was always enchanted by the magic of Disney — from family trips to both Walt Disney World_® Resort and Disneyland_® Resort, to her visit to Tokyo Disneyland as an exchange student in Japan. She even wrote her college admissions essay about spending an evening soaring with Peter Pan. Flying out of that nursery window sprinkled with Tinker Bell’s pixie dust is truly a core memory of her childhood, and coming of age during the Disney Renaissance and those incredible films helped her carry a smile in her heart throughout her journey, including her own career producing films in Hollywood.

Stacey now makes Chicago her home and is sharing her love of all things Disney with her two young daughters. She recently embarked on a first-time, three-generations trip to Walt Disney World Resort with her daughters, husband, and her parents. As she was planning the trip, she wanted to share both nostalgic rides as well as experience new ones, explore a park she had never been to before, and give her daughters a once-in-a-lifetime day as Disney princesses. But she found herself spending even more time delving into dining options. Stacey’s older daughter has Celiac disease, and so it was imperative that they be able to find safe (and yummy!) gluten-free meals and treats in the parks and at the resorts. This copious amount of research coupled with her love of sharing Disney vacations with her children inspired her to become a travel advisor.

Stacey wants to reassure families with any kind of allergies or dietary restrictions that there are wonderful options for everyone — you just need to know where to go. And that’s where she comes in. The Disney properties are well-known for accommodating dietary restrictions, but tailoring recommendations to each family’s individual needs and tastes is Stacey’s specialty. Does someone in your family have nut, dairy, or gluten allergies? Is your family plant-based? Stacey is experienced with a variety of diets and wants to help your family navigate the seemingly endless options, secure those extra-special reservations, and make your vacation safe, memorable, and delicious. And if your family doesn’t have any special dietary considerations, she has some additionally scrumptious recommendations for you!

So come take flight with a smile in your heart, and let’s explore the magic of a Disney vacation together!
