Kelly Maples

Hello! I'm Kelly, a lifelong Disney fan, world traveler and travel advisor. I'd love to share my experience and expertise with you! As an allergist and mother of a formerly peanut allergic child, I understand the importance of food allergy safety while traveling and know the value of feeling free to try great foods on vacation. My family of 5 visits the parks at least once per year and sails on DCL a few times each year! My first "Disney" Cruise was on the Big Red Boat many years ago. As a Platinum cruiser, I have sailed on all 5 ships and am looking forward to sailing aboard the Treasure in December of 2024.  We have enjoyed seeing the world with our children!  In addition to Alaska, the Bahamas, Mexico and the Caribbean, we have visited Spain, France, Italy, Greece, Iceland, Norway, Denmark and the United Kingdom with Disney Cruise Line! I've been a guest on multiple DCL-related podcasts to discuss these adventures! I love the ease of unpacking just once and avoiding the hassle and expense of trains, restaurants and hotel transfers. DCL planning is easier than parks planning but I will be sure you don't miss any important planning dates, will help you choose and plan port adventures and will remain in contact with you from booking through your return home.  While all DCL passengers will experience excellent Disney service, we love to splurge on the top notch luxury and personalized service of Concierge sailings and I am prepared to help you plan your next DCL Concierge adventure.  Speaking of luxury, I have also planned and experienced Adventures by Disney. Our family enjoyed exploring Barcelona with ABD and will soon embark on an expedition through Italy, Croatia, Slovenia and Montenegro with ABD. When it comes to Disney Parks, I visit regularly and am prepared to help guide you through the Genie, Genie Plus and Individual Lightning Lanes to maximize your fun and minimize your time in line.  Our family has stayed at each of WDW's deluxe resorts. My husband and I have a travel blog which you can find at www.afteralltravel.com and on Facebook under Afterall Travel Blog.  I also host 2 DCL related Facebook groups: Disney Cruise Line Spaces & Places and  DCL Docs.   I have also cruised on Celebrity and Royal Caribbean and can help you cruise anywhere your heart desires with most major cruise lines. I can't wait to help your family plan your next adventure!
