Ani McHugh
Independent Travel Advisor Specializing in Disney Destinations
About
My travel-planning work is the culmination of a lifelong love of Disney parks, dozens of trips to Disney destinations, and a genuine passion for helping others love Disney the way I do--without the stress that can be associated with unassisted trip planning.
Experience
​
​
I fell in love with Disney Parks when I was a child. By my 18th birthday, I had been to Walt Disney World three times and Disneyland twice--and I loved reading about the parks so much that I eagerly awaited the release of each new edition of Birnbaum's Guide to Walt DisneyWorld every year. As an adult, I've made sure to instill my love of all things Disney in my own children.
​
Shortly after I became a high school English teacher in 2001, I got the privilege of serving as a class advisor. In that capacity, I planned and chaperoned many senior class trips from New Jersey to Disney and Universal. I've taken over a thousand high school students to my favorite place!
​
Becoming a credentialed travel advisor specializing in Disney Destinations was an logical, seamless, and natural next step for me--and I love every minute of the work I do for families. I especially value my training and experience as a Certified Autism Travel Professional.
​
Whether you're planning on traveling solo, with adults, with toddlers, or with teens, I've been there--and I can help!
My Family
I live in New Jersey with my husband, Pat; my two boys, Brennan and Gavin; our dog, Daisy; and our four cats: Tiki, Cubby, Alvin, and Simon.
​
We're Disney Vacation Club owners--Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa is our home resort--and we absolutely love spending time together at Disney.
​
Our WDW favorites are Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, TRON Lightcyle/Run, Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. (We also love Disneyland--and LOVE Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout!)
