Our Illinois & Chicagoland Travel Specialists

Hi! I'm Katrina, owner of Dapper Destinations Travel. With over 10 years of experience in the travel industry, I love helping families, couples, and groups plan unforgettable vacations. Based right here in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, I specialize in designing seamless, magical Disney getaways, exciting family cruises, and custom bucket-list adventures for clients throughout the Chicagoland area and nationwide.

I believe every vacation is completely unique, which is why I treat each itinerary as if it were my own. My goal is to make the entire planning process easy, fun, and completely stress-free. Whether you need help finding the perfect resort, securing exclusive cruise perks, or navigating the little details along the way, I can do as much or as little of the planning as you'd like.

When I'm not crafting dream vacations for my clients, you'll find me traveling with my own family, cheering on my kids from the local sidelines, reading a good book, or training for my next race.

I can't wait to help you plan your family's next great adventure!

Hi, I'm Lindsay! I'm a Disney-loving mom of two based in Arlington Heights, Illinois, who knows firsthand how magical family vacations can be. What started as my own childhood love for Disney became a treasured family tradition, visiting Disney destinations every single year.
As a dedicated travel specialist with Dapper Destinations Travel, I share insider tips, money-saving strategies, park-planning tricks, and resort recommendations that come from real, hands-on experience-not just online research. Serving families across Arlington Heights, the northwest suburbs, and the greater Chicagoland area, I'm here to help you navigate everything from choosing the right resort to mastering the parks like a pro. Whether you’re planning your very first Disney trip or your tenth, I’d love to help your family create stress-free memories that will last a lifetime!

Hi, my name is Kathy and I love all things Disney! Growing up, my absolute favorite childhood memories were made during our family Disney vacations, and that passion has stayed with me ever since.

I know that planning a big vacation can feel overwhelming, which is why I love handling the logistical details for you.

Hi, I'm Dena! I live in Lake Zurich, Illinois, with my husband of over 10 years and our three sons. A surprise family trip years ago created "one little spark" that began my deep love for Disney and the incredible magic it brings to families.

As a dedicated travel specialist with Dapper Destinations Travel, some of the trips closest to my heart are multigenerational adventures that bring extended families together on both land and sea. My passion for absolute organization and handling the complex booking details sets local Northwest Suburban families up for a completely low-stress vacation. Your next adventure is waiting...together, let's turn your next family cruise or theme park trip into a story you will never forget!

Hi! I'm Cory Thompson, and I am a dedicated travel specialist with Dapper Destinations Travel based right here in Libertyville, Illinois. I have been going to Walt Disney World and Universal Studios with my family since 2009! Our three children have grown up going to the parks, and some of our best family memories have been created there.

Through our travels, I have extensive, hands-on experience bringing children to Disney at multiple ages, organizing multi-generational trips with extended family, traveling to Disneyland, sailing with the Disney Cruise Line, and even running the Walt Disney World Marathon!

I decided to become a professional Disney and Universal travel agent after becoming the "go-to" person when my friends and neighbors were planning their own trips. I love helping families across Libertyville, the North Suburbs, and the greater Chicagoland area navigate the details seamlessly. I want to use my years of real-world experience to help you build the stress-free vacation of your dreams!
